Its that time of the year again, when there is no dearth of entertainment all around the campus for those in Bitsg. The ominous signs began appearing a few weeks back itself, power equations being formulated, alliances broken and forged, which has now finally culminated in full large scale campaigning. The big presidential debate's tomorrow, n as always is expected to be one of the most entertaining sessions of debate in the campus. For the past two years, iv been thoroughly enjoying all the antics of the candidates as they go from hostel to hostel , room to room, person to person, all trying to convince ppl to give them their precious vote. The best part is when they come across a person who is overly intrested in them doing some substantial progress pertaining to something in the campus, usually some new infrastructure. It is always intresting to see how the candidates cleverly dodge n survive these inquisitive voters n give an answer that either satisfies them or silences them. These candidates are usually always flanked by their supporters, who resque them should any sticky situation arise. Yes sir, election is indeed a serious matter here in bpgc !
This year, however, the scenario is far more interesting than the previous ones, for me especially, primarily because i personally know most of the candidates for the top positions, in fact, two of the candidates vying for the post of prez are my very good friends The fact that they too are quite friendly with each other and are now placed as opponents in a battle for the top most position that promises to get quite interesting, has made this election an event not to miss at any cost. I havnt decided for whom ill cast my vote, i know both of them equally well, but well, even if i have decided, its a secret ballot, so shoo off. Anyways, it is gonna be a pitched battle for the prez post at least, and im planning to enjoy every step of it :D.
At a personal level, i feel that elections are a fun thing, provided one isint dragged in to be a part of the many murky details n controversies that invariably always dog the campaigners. Elections are fun from the distance. I havnt stood ever, not even out of curiosity of how many ppl would vote for a maniac like me, mainly because, it makes more enemies than friends, creates more animosity than openness. Coupled with the fact that one is expected to sacrifice their morning sleep to keep up with the responsibilities that come with a post , i feel it is not a thing worth plunging into. Just spectate n enjoy while the multidirectional tug-of-war continues, and of course not compromise on that absolutely necessary ingredient for most ppl - sleep :P .
This time, apart from the usual hurricane of questions n queries hurled at the campaigners, the issue of placements will feature as one of the most prominent and intresting topics that the wannabe presidents n VPs must address. Their stance will be quite interesting to note.
Meanwhile, third year continues to keep me occupied like never before since the ancient pre - engg era. From useless attendance n surprise tests to false rumours of to be conducted tests that force even the likes of me to attend the most boring of lectures, to some classes that simply cannot afford to be missed, to a lil bit too frequent meetings of the music club working comittee, the just commenced but real fun french classes, and of course to cap it all, the insane project that i seem to have fancied myself to do last sem, but the repurcussions of which are only just begining to have an effect. The best part, however, is that im liking this activity thats been missing for like 2 years. Well, wether this is an augury or just another phase, one has to wait n see. With this i sign off, the french way :P
Bon nuit

Hey RAM !
Ok so im back. So i eat my own words. 15 days seems too short for someone who promised to not blog again for 4- 5 months. Still, this comeback is solely due to the twisted ways of fate.
The primary reason i was looking forward to college is the WoW server that seemed to have established an iron grip over my day to day schedule. I cant describe the amount of effort the game creators must have put in, its simply brilliant. anyways, brilliant as it may be, it is also a bloody fat memory eating glutton of a game. So much that half my RAM got burnt. Yes, my dear frends, i am here because my comp no longer suports any game that a self respecting gamer would play, so here i am, back to blogging. So now im reduced to haunting others rooms in the hope of taking over their comps when they indulge in non- comp activities ( which, i assure u, is rare ).
The other alternative is spammin on dc++ , but the lure of dc has been steadily declining, especially because i shut down Titan hub on my comp due to the frequent restarts that i subject my comp to, as a result of which my admin powers have become fairly limited. So i decide one fine morning, ( ahem, morning means past 12 am, NOT actual morning wen it goes all sunny ... thats the time i sleep ) that its time to pay my blog a visit.
And as this premature visit is basically a result of pointless joblessness, u should have no further expectations from this post as well. But just for the sake of ...err of ...watever, i dedicate this post to WoW. As it is very likely that i wont be playing it again in the near future at least. It is a freakin 8 GB game , n iv already deleted it, so its highly unlikely that ill have the patience to download 8 GB again onto my comp.
To all WoW players, especially horde ( ok if ur alliance, its thu , cept mebbe for nite elves, they'r ok ) ashenvale must be a familiar name. Well, all i want to say is that, It rox. Its a beautiful place. best place actually, competes with Mulgore n the thunderbluff area. And the music as soon as u enter ashenvale, well, simply astounding. I had a female blood- elf character ( :P :D )
with which i attained level 20, when catastrophe struck ( yea my RAM ) . If someone suddenly has the urge to turn philanthropist, i appeal to u to start off with me, n kindly donate some desktop RAM, as i wont have the heart to pay to screw my acads anymore. Yea, if i start WoW again, my acads will be screwed beyond repair. Im sure. But its that type of a game. Godlike.
Well enuf of WoW now, its too painful ( :P ) . Hmm i dunno wat to type, but this post seems too short ( is it ? ) ...
ok heres another thing ... iv been working my ass off for the music club, meeting almost everyday for more than 4 hrs n all .... trying to overhaul a disorganized system into something worthy of emulation and a subject of envy for others. And the worst part is that some ppl have to be layed off .... the problem being that they arent that bad.... in fact they arent bad at all .. just that the club doesnt need their type of talent ..... and of course, the working comittee will have difference of opinions, all that has to be sorted out ... n then the hard part of tellin the ex - clubbers to let go, well, thats real crap, especially if some of them are ones whom u really do not want to let off, but the power of voting outdoes any hope that u have of having it ur way. Well moving on from the serious tpoic to a lighter one, im kinda bored now without the tools that make lan a boon beyond ones dreams. Im now occupied with ways to outdo all the antics of this joker of a virus Brontok.A thats been trying to wreck havoc in my comp. ( yea, i dont have an antivirus installed, i think they are all lame, wen u have a virus, format ur comp :P ) . Well, nowdays im mostly just lookin for ways in which to cheat the virus without using any readymade virus removal tool like brontok-remover etc. Its a funny virus really, i sometimes like to think about its ambition ... just go n spread to as many comps as possible ... like the time when a temporary folder waiting to be burnt was infected with the virus, but i had no intention of burning that onto a disc, i was thinking of how im outwitting the virus, makin a fool out of it, while it is waiting , mebbe anticipating n lookin forward to spread to a portable data storage device like a cd, i had no plans of makin that come true. Mad i know i appear, but this is a pointless post. So well u should have braced urself for seemingly endless n pointless rantings about this n that, i think the post is long enough to qualify as a post, so i leave it at that. I dunno when ill be posting again, but i think it shall not be long b4 i do post again, owing of course, to the amazing 256 MB RAM.
