Another year has ended…

And we have another set of alumni, and our juniors are already seniors looking forward to kids whom they can have a little bit of fun with…

This post comes after having to be reminded that we’re all supposed to be doing this - blogging at MICigiri. I am ashamed Ram. And Balu, really sorry! I’m not gonna proclaim impossibilities and make promises that I will personally make sure that this stays alive - really, I’m too lazy! My multiple blogs have died and have had rebirths multiple times! But, yes, I shall try…..

So, to all the seniors who are leaving us now and going to different parts of the world - all the best and please do keep in touch. We hope we can keep you informed through the various available means!

Juniors - start blogging in here ya!

Shame Shame!

First of all, I should apologise, too all the readers, if any left, and to Balu, who started this and tried hard to keep it going.

Next, all of you MICians should apologise, to each other.

WHAT THE HELL WERE WE DOING?

All of us are going all out in new media, we have our own blogs, we spend so much time on facebook and orkut, and we could not keep this thing alive??? Come on guys, this blog is the one tool which has enabled us to keep in touch with the exMician and others.

So many things happened in MIC this year. We had so much to talk about. We had so many small event, big events, plays and so many developments..but none of us wrote about any of those things!

Ok, so, buck up guys. This is it. The post comes at a very wrong time, it is the end of the semester. All action over. Nonetheless, lets keep this thing alive.

Post here, comment here. BLOG here.

Oye juniors!!!!!!!!!!!! DOnt see ANY of you participating here! I think i have made you guys contributors. If not, my bad. Send the ID to me, I ll make you contributors. BLOG BLOG BLOG!!! AND BLOG HERE!

…and the leopard died a painful death…

In Hindi the heading would have been: Aur CheetaRam Chitt Ho Gaya

Few days back, we were in Gaurav’s room. It was not the first time we were there but the story we heard it was first of ‘this’ kind. Which kind? I mean: atthi kind!

Gaurav said to us: Aye Bhaiya, when I was at Sainik school…it was really fun; and Elvin you know that that only daring and courageous students can go there to study. But, I think, BESIDES all these you have to be good at study also, said Balu. The same sentence continued when Rahul said, “Chal cahl mujhe pata hai tu bahut tej hai.” “Dekh rahe hai Bhaiya, eeelog to Sainik eeskool ko kutch samajhta hi nahi hai,” complained Gaurav and continued: one day I was at night duty and gave everyone instructions about things like where they had to be to guard the compound-nahi samjhte hai raat ko bahut chor chandal aata hai- and they took there places at night to guard the school. That day it was my turn and I was the group leader. What happens at night I see two lanterns coming from opposite direction, I thought some villagers are going somewhere. Are, bhaiya, raat me unlogon ko bahut kam rahta hai, nahi samjhe” lekin sala bad me to OOO hai na najdik aate gaya…hum to hain na siti baja diye…sab apna apna positon pakad liya.. I shouted to know if everyone was okie, everyone was fine… I asked the lantern walas who were they, they didn’t reply. Hum to samajh gaye ki beta dal me kutch kala hi nahi pura dal hi kala hai…hum bachpan se hi tej admi…woo humko ka charawega…to samjha na Elvin. There was indeed something fishy about those lanterns.

What I did was I pointed my gun towards those lanterns…my God they were the eyes of Cheeta…coming very very slowly towards me. Hum bole ruk beta…aur thian se ek goli matha me mard diya…kya kahen bhaiya…chita jor se chillaya or hare hue pahalwan k tarah chit ho gaya…phir bhi humko dar lage…najdik gaye ek goli aur mar diye..kya pata chita hai na…agar zinda ho jai…Phir sabko siti mar k bula liye…sir bhi aa gaye aur bole arey tum to bahut bahdur nikla. To samjha na rahul hamse panga mat lena: Hum ne chita ko bhi jeeta hai. No doubt: we were impressed with the story part of the incident!

After two days there comes a series of panic calls from his room: arey balnu, elvin mere room me aao, lagta hai ek chuha mere cot k niche hai. When they go to his room, they found him standing on the bed…and it seemed he was about to hang with the help of the fan to protect himself! Are kya hua…ey to chuha (mane rat) hai cheetah nahi…tu chita maar k aaya hai na: Arre yaar waqt ke nazakat ko samjha karo, hamesa mazak mat karo, us samay mere hath me banduk tha…chalo please mere liye dosti k nate room se chuha Bhaga do…or nahi to ek donali ka banduk la ke do!

“Gaurav cheeta kis colour ka tha…sabhi puch rahe hain…likho yahan pe…“ Gaurav, Press Cart misses you-man. Where the f**k are you man?

Manipal Journal — Fresh look

A new semester begins at MIC and Manipal Journal is back in action with a new look. Click on the image to see bigger image. The site has not only been redigned but has also pulled in more reporters and sub editors. The number of stories has almost trippled and so has the features. A feedback section has been introduced, which unfortuantely has a few issues and need to be fixed. A TMJ blog is also on the cards.

The initiative looks promising and professional too … best of luck to team TMJ from MICigiri
