This is one of those times that you realise the sooner you want to get work done, the tougher it is, thanks to red taped bureaucracy. Ok, maybe svce isn't the congress, but organising a self-proclaimed "state-level" symposium's making the railways look like maglevs. I seriously don't see the whole point of it. The papers that come in are so plagiarised, they'll give kavya vishwanathan a run for her money. We've got participants coming in, just to prove that the magical ODs aren't without their reach. The whole purpose is lost. The attitude's defeatist. Nevertheless, if you're in Chennai, on the 26th of August, Saturday, so vetti(jobless) that you're willing to travel 35kms to check out Pulse '06, if you don't mind cliches, be there!
Just in case anyone's been keepin up with this blog(fat chance!), I've been too lazy to gather my thoughts and convert them digitally..sheesh! somethin's gotten to me.
Anna University has once again succeeded in getting 1,40,000+ counts on its site on a single day. Here's how. The semester exam result publication has become a legacy in the Chennai student circles. Exactly 1.6 months after the exams, the convos are knowingly(by those who've studied-all-semester-but-didn't-do-well) and unknowingly(by those who've studied-all-night-but-didn't-do-well) steered towards "Someone I know knows someone who knows someone, who's the someone in AU, told me that the results are gonna be out". Trust me, that does the trick. The site gets like a zillion counts, to the satisfaction of those in the COE. They strike me as dapper maniacs, watching the count go higher, a satisfied smile on their faces. Don't even get me started on the day when the stuff's actually out. Me, managed a decent 82%. Phew!
