Rambling...

Nothing much to write.... Niranjan Hiranandani on campus as part of the ongoing CEO series by Colloquium, the guest lecture cell. Though on most occasionsi am appreciative of the efforts by the cell, in getting good speakers on campus and also the discipline they (try to) maintain before and during the lecture, but today was one of the rare occasions when i did something rather irrational out of anger. Anger was at the fact that colloquium dudes stormed into our class while the spanish lecture was going on, demanding the teacher to leave the class early coz they hadn't filled in enough number of seats in the lecture hall. And that irritated me no extent.
Being the instinctive rebel that i am, i declared that i would not attend the guest lecture, whatever the consequences may be (these dudes promise strict action against people who bunk industry guest lectures, when attendance is compulsory).
Though an hour later, i did repent not attending the lecture, not because i was afraid of being penalised, but for a ling time, i had been looking forward to hearing this guy speak.

Another bad news is that due to very irresponsible behavior of some students, a big financial services company which had come to campus for summer placements, left in a huff leaving the placement coordinators red-faced and now they fear that the entire group of companies under the umbrella of the parent of this fin services company might not come to campus. Not acceptable. I would personally look into it that the people who are responsible for this are severly dealt with and taken out of the placement process through the campus, which is also the most likely thing to happen.

The press release for Paragana '05 is ready and i will be posting it in a while.

53 More hours to go before i board a Boeing which takes me 1000 miles...back to my pind (punjabi for village), Delhi. And hopefully this time, i will convince my parents to let me take my beautiful Honda along, before it rusts to death. I dont know what shape i will find it in, i left it gleaming and graceful in good 3 coats of showroom gray paint. Mummy i will ride slow and will not zig-zag and will not jump the signal and papa i will not give it to anybody else....sachchi muchi!
