Its been a while I know . But I am back ... finally ...
The rain keeps coming down ... with no intention of ever stopping it seems . The immediate effect it has on us is to lower our spirits ... the effect is undeniable, yet inexplicable . If there ever was a season that could be the exact opposite of spring then this would probably come the closest .
Talking of spring ... this year Spring Fest 2005-IIT Kharagpur will definitely be the place to be. I can assure you all that Kharagpur is going to rock like never before and in more ways than one ... So people, just fasten your seatbelts and hang on .... You can check out the new Spring Fest site at www.springfestiitkgp.com ...
Life is pretty hectic at the moment with all sorts of events that keep happening along with all the academic load . Yesterday , in fact, we had yet another lab test on Systems Programming ... the subject we are taught by the enigmatic Pawan Kumar . The problem looked ridiculously easy this time compared with his usual stuff . However, as it so often happens , it doesn't take much to push an assembly program over the edge ... ( yeah and you thought C programming was the toughest thing that could have been ;-) ) . The bug ,as it turned out ,was in one line ... can you beat that ... ONE F***ING LINE .... and it had me tied up in knots for over an hour .
Well who cares anyway ??? Its history and that's what matters.
The long standing debate has finally been resolved . Yeah you guessed right . Illumination is happening. However, the way the whole thing was handled by the powers-that-be has left a bitter taste in the mouth . The only truth that became all-too-evident from this episode was that however much everyone speaks about student rights , the fact remains that it is a prof-dominated society in Kharagpur and all the fuss about elections and student representatives is nothing but an eye-wash of gigantic proportions . The very fact that we are having Illumination just 6 days before the end-semester exams says a thing or two about how considerate our professors are of the students' problems. Beat this ... the professor who is in-charge of the Students' Affairs says ,when confronted by the students , " ... I am personally not in favour of having Illumination before the actual Diwali .... in case there is a lot of pressure from inside the campus I can at best keep quiet .... ". So you can judge for yourselves ...
Well thats a lot of stuff to digest all at the same time ...
so its goodbye for now ...

We do expect SF05 to rock, and beat all past records, esp. with apro incharge ;-)
A lot of halls would have decided not to hold illu, but in that case a tradition would have been lost. I mean, if it is not held in one year, there is high probablility that it will be cancelled the next year, and the years after that as well.
Anyway, 3 years ago, illu was held 8 days before the end sems, this time it is 6 days. It will be a great challenge, I know, but I guess, we'll all scrape through.
