No.. This crowd aint for the exam results...!

That's right this crowd ain't for seeing the exam results. This is for paying the semester fees, hostel fees and the mess bill. All three in one! It seems that you can pay the hostel fees only if you have cleared the mess bill of last May and June if you stayed here and also you can't use the drop box for paying the hostel fees. The hostel and tuition fee has to be paid within this Saturday. So, people have started to bunk many sessions of classes and are standing in the que. Today evening, the officials issued tokens to the students for paying the fees and it seems that people without the token can't pay! The crowd is too much for the people to just pass through the place and is becoming a nuisance. It's time the SASTRA people realize this problem and find a better alternative for paying the fees. Asking for an online payment facility is too much but then they should atleast ease the process by extending the deadline for paying the fees and also the closing and opening time of the counters for these few days.

Here we go again!! :-)

The classes have started again (finally!). The hostel registrations are over and people have occupied their alloted rooms in the hostels. It seems that shifting rooms is not very easy this time. Also, Mega hostel or new hostel or Kamadhenu as you call it has started to function fully with all the rooms getting occupied. This time there are quite a few interesting things happening. The first is, changing of 2 in 1s to 3 in 1s with bunk beds in this hostel. Second is there is still no access point setup in the third floor. When I asked the TIFAC CORE guys about this, they said that setting up of access points for the third floor will be done along with the new girls hostel Anasuya. Lets hope it is done quickly. Another intersting thing to note this year is more second years are in AV than the previous years with some people shifting from AV to Mega. That's it for now guys. Just a small blog. Catch ya l8r!

e-ragging

angular view is back... yeah... i hate to give news about sastra now that i'm out... four years of freaking out and we cant find anybody to take this legacy forward... juniors... jaago... yeah wake up to the all new angular view...

han to mere pyare saastraiites... you would be surprised to know how many "cool" (hey, i just checked out, " " means that you are saying something with sarcasm...!!! ) personalities are now in sastra... one of them is here... in the fast paced new age of internet and wifi (this is not the same as internet, ask sastraiites and they'll tell you what they use it for, wadio, match telecast, TV, LAN etc... but they just cant use it for internet, y?, i guess its "not allowed"...), we seniors have decided to take the rituals of ragging to another level... yes this is e-ragging... this pic was clicked outside the sacred canteen when we were still ther, that makes this fellow a second year... and i promised him he'll be sorry for it... now y would i do such a thing...
1. i'm a senior
2. i dont have a better physique
3. i dont have anything better to do...
4. he "disrespected" the holy canteen... what do u want me to do... nothing...?

dude... this doesn suit you AT ALL... i know you dont give a damn about the management, neither do i, but for gods sake let ther be some common sense prevail in the world of fashion... n u look like a girl... some editing on this n you would win the miss sastra crown, which has not been won by anybody since 1908...

cheers to sastra "culture"

PS: his name is "BHADRU"... muahahahahahahaha

Fresh View For Angular View!!!

There is nothing in this world that does not change. You, me, the slow wifi of SASTRA and also the looks of this blog :-). PJ and I were discussing about changing the theme for Angular View to make it look fresh and add some cool features to it. So we started about roaming around the internet trying to find some good theme for our blog. During this process we came across many cool themes across many different websites. We decided to go for a 3 column layout for the blog as it looks more professional, neat and also gives us more space to put things. With a bit of CSS editing the three column layout was created. PJ had to consult some she(s) to settle with the design as he belived she(s) had a good sense of design (whatever!). Finally after some hard(rather boring)work in editing CSS, this design was created. Hope you guys like the new design. Since we came across so many cool themes we thought we can share some of the sites we searched for here so that you can use them for your blog.

The Dears Departed

Today is a very special day for everyone at SASTRA. Not in a very happy sense but today is the day our beloved fourth years left the college and returned to their homes to start their professional lives. Many people cried, some were excited about their future but all of them were sad very sad. The man who started this blog, Prasoon Joshi - PJ as we call him left the college too. He is the a very good person who had contacts will all the year students. He was very much excited about his future in Wipro but then missed this place a lot. We guys spent some time with him. The I Years of Popups presented their hero their inspiration a tee shirt signed by everyone which he held out proudly and was deeply touched with. While he was leaving he told us "When I came to the college only 5 of my family people came with me but when I leave, more than a hundered are here for me. Thanks to all."
Shiva anna, Guru Ragavan anna, Aman sir, Kiran sir, Mayank sir and all of our favourite seniors also left for their places. Today was a very touching day and a day which will remain in our minds forever. We can just hope all our favourite seniors will return to the college some day and spend some time with all of us.

In a nutshell ...

I know its been pretty long. But, here we are again.
So quite a lot has happened in SASTRA in the last couple of months. For starters:

1. DAKSH was big this year. 684 people from other colleges availed hospitality (which is a big thing!). Participation was huge so was the whole experience. Check www.sastra.edu for more details. I heard that a magazine is also being rolled out, try to book your copy, it may disappear like the t-shirts and jerseys.


2. KS (KurakSASTRA) had amazing nights. The whole of SASTRA anticipating music and masti each night. The open stage rocked and we rocked with it. Vaidi sir deserves a very big thanks (it was his 'dream project').


3. The 'SASTRA fotoHub' rolled out amazing videos. Presented us with a special video dedicated to all final year students, called 'Reflexions'.


4. 'Venspire' was organized by Biotikos. Saw huge participation and a lot of zeal, amazing speakers.


5. All the associations are in the process of planning out their valedictory functions. This coming week must be busy with activity.

PS: I'm scouting for contributors.
