Fourth Sem

As I have officially finished my intern (only presentation remained for next week ) and completely jobless now for next 10 days , I am taking time to go through 4th sem again ....

Acads : Most peaceful semester so far , with only 20 credits including 1 lab.4 afternoons were free . Courses were also better . Prof . Raghavan continued his fast paced copy paste lectures ( we wrote 8 pages in his first lecture of extractive meta :O ) . Economics was quite interesting subject with sleepy lectures.First time in IITM worked as CR :) . Probability prof (Sunder) shocked us with surprise test and from then onwards our first task after entering the classroom was to check whether TA's have blank A4 sheets with them or not.As grades came out it turned out to be better semester then previous three.

Saarang : Nothing great happened during Saarang ( not that I was expecting something great :P ) , tried Jamming,Paintball etc . Also worked peacefully as QMS vol attending all events I wanted . As mentioned in previous article it was not much different then 1st year saarang.

Drams : Continued with MMM's( Marathi Mitra Mandal ) play 'Vitthal To Ala Ala' this time we performed at 'Maharashtra Mandal , Chennai ' with almost same cast as last semester. It was quite good experience again .

Food : Tried SGR for a month . Dosa and Chapathis are best there. But absence of CSU stall and long queues forced me to go back to Himalaya . Started visiting Basera quite often ... Went Basera more then previous 3 sems combined . Apart from that nothing quite different then previous semesters . My love towards dosa/idly ensured that I keep on visiting Tiff's atlest 3-4 times a week . Also Ascendas visits continued.

Also other notable things in the semester were Hostel Nights , Astro Club Sessions , Hostel Elections , Shaastra Coord app. etc.

Intern : Initially thought of going to Visag steel plant then M & M but then finally interened at Bosch Plant in Nasik ( intern staying at home sweet home :) ) . Which turn out to be quite enriching experience. Plan to blog sometime in detail about intern experience.
It was quite good semester . Also finishes 50% journey for my BTech friends while I still have 6 semesters more. :) :( :-|

Finally it's Over ........

Finally Saarang 2009 comes to an end.Now Opeth performance is going on in OAT but for me Saarang is over and I am back to my room (and jobless :D).Last 4 days campus was lively , energetic etc etc ... From tomorrow life will be back to normal (at least for me ).This saarng was pretty much was last saarnag for me .. dunno why .. but I was getting feeling of saarang 2008 again .Vodaphone was at the same place again , I didn't attend any pro-show this saarang either,Again I mainly attended speaking events and drams(again !! ) . Paint-ball and Theater fest were different experience though . Paintball was not that interesting (even though I led my team to triumph :D ) It was more like CS .However it was .. one thing for sure I enjoyed this saarang more then 2008 and got some useful lessons too ..

Cribbing

I sometimes wonder why some junta cribs so much about anything and everything ..Right from some screwed grades / bad profs to high prices in tiff's . I admit that I am not the guy you will find dancing with joy always (infact never) but why don't you accept things as it is ... or do something really useful to change it or otherwise be OK with it (ठीक आहे attitude :D ).
If you just open student forum you will find guys complaining right from CCW to lack of cycle shed in Himalaya(:O even new hostels don't have any ) and from gurunath to insti bus drivers . Junta complaints about everything and anything .. I think our mess is quite ok , we get 24 hrs free electricity,20 hours free net access (atleast as of now :)).. but yet many times we keep on talking on why and how we landed up in the jungles of IITM.
I think I am cribbing too much about cribbing so I will end this post here :D.
