VNR VJIET Foundation Day

Vallurupalli Nageswar Rao Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering and Technology...oooph that was a big name....happened to be started on this very day 13 years ago....ie,11th September 2008.
As a result,the college celebrated it's foundation day by organising a speech by Dr.D.Subramaniam(with a huge list of qualifications...) who happens to be working with the Research and Development of L.V.Prasad Eye Institute...on the topic "20 Basic ideas in Science"....which "fortunately" coincided with the headlines of the day regarding the Big Bang experiment in the Alps Mountains of Switzerland....lucky fellow...
the stage supposedly was occupied by 5 white-haired wisebeards....but a few of their "sense of humour and vigor" deceived their age:-)....initially there was a lamp-lighting session-a tradition occurring for the "first" time in the college....and then there was the the "Vande Mataram" song...and luckily/fortunately the auditorium was filled...donno wat made the students so sincere....that too at VNR..and moreover...only final years were called for the address.....
there were a number of speeches by these "dignitaries"..very vividly expected....which was followed by an award distributing event to the meritorious students of the staff....then came the actual lecture which one and all were "eagerly" waiting for....
he had started off well with a gesture on the principal regarding a cell phone which set the entire audience applauding...beginning with a reference from the newspaper headline.....then he proceeded to proton,nucleus....and actually did pretty well in explaining the elementary theories starting from newton's laws of motion to laws in thermodynamics...then there was a transition to biology....biotechnology...where there came a reference to the IT field....and then genes and chromosomes...a reference to CCMB,come on he works there...and then the theory of evolution...i remembered i had been a chimpanzee but he added i had been actually been a dog and a horse as well...oh god!!!and then it became boring....awfully...and many of them dozed off....and those wide awake were still in a dilemma as to where were the 20 ideas they were there for...well on the whole....the staff and other "VIP"s enjoyed a sumptuous lunch courtesy of the college....oh boy...not bad for a first time...let's see what's in store for next year...

'Phobia'aaaaaaah...

Phobia is the Greek word for fear...well,here I want to list some phobias which shows how awfully FOOLISH our fears can turn out to be....

Team NBA sucks....

Team NBA ....

The long awaited NBA team had arrived in the college.
...thanks to their arrival that conspicuous changes are being literally visible
in the college campus....this is the second time they were invited in the college
since 2005....last year when they arrived,improvements include re-carpetting of the roads,inauguration of the sports complex....implementing the id cards.....and other minor but effective changes.....and for this year,improvements include installation of elevators...both in M.tech and b.tech blocks.....while the b.tech one is functional....the m.tech one isstill under installation.....most importantly AXIS bank ATM ornates the cellar brightly...however with no activity...the placement cell is re-furnished.....and several other "chote-mote" things.....but truly....the past 3 days were really hectic for the staff...as the management was eagerly and desperate for the accreditation.......the entire college was brought to life....colourful flags,banners and even several signboards with the names of the distinguished panel.....dotted along the span of the road leading to the bldg from the main gate...and finally.....coming to the part where team nba interacted with the students,it was not at all fruitful...they asked what we were lagging but we could not bring out anything ....that angered the "distinguished" panel.....but what made the students totally unresponsive was the fact that they compared us with the IIT,and talked over futile and trivial issues....
well on the whole...the management is really positive about the whole "thing"
so.....let's hope for the best....

Caught.....

Heath streak,the zimbabwean cricketer was found feasting on french fries and a burger at McDonald's in City Centre,Banjara hills.It was a pleasant surprise as we took him unaware and requested for his photograph and autograph.....so people....keep your eyes peeled....you never know with which personality u r among....yeh hai Hyderabad!!!!

Farewell

The time had arrived and gone.....no one knew how 4 years (for the seniors) and 3 years(with junior interaction) had passed by.....all those long-lasting memories and sweet cherished moments were captured appropriately in the mesmerizing evening of 11th April,2008.....it was all the untiring efforts put in by all the members of the newly formed IT Association and of course several other voluntary members.....there were many last minute twists...but the event must go on and it did ...quite to the satisfaction of many of the faculty.....highlight of the evening was the anchor who put in that extra effort to add life to the then dull atmosphere in the auditorium.....none of the first years turned up...fear of ragging...and many of the seniors were still making their entry......the Audi sprung into life with the first game called "Bomb in the city" which actively involved the 4th years and most of the faculty......and thanks to the demo round.....many more students participated in it.....and the no. of rounds unexpectedly rose to around 12.....good response indeed.....and then the speeches and friendliness of the faculty allowed a feeling of "closeness" between the outgoing batch and the staff present......an good show was put up by the 1st years...and refreshments at their seats was something to relish.......distributing mementos was boring.....but the presentation with just the 4th year students' names' actually excited the lot...unexpectedly......and the photos display of their past memories was also worth mention....and to top it all.....the eye-candy of the evening was the scintillating performance by the third years....which everyone was awaiting.....followed by the anchor's involvement......caused the whole auditorium to bustle with activity.....this encouraged the seniors also to perform and they did so with much fervour and enthusiasm.....actually 4th years performances were really cool and stunning in fact....and then....the titles were distributed and it was time for the photo session.....the student coordinator asked for a group photo and then everyone bid adieu to everyone else..as if the 25 days which were still left were already gone!!!!!!!!

Well...on the whole ....there was no major problem whatsoever and the event went on gracefully....
