Just today i came across an article written by a dear friend of mine on her blog..it spoke about legalizing drugs and making them freely available in d market with statutory warnings mentioned on them. A very unique thought i must say..although here's what i personally think about it...
what crap! not the article..i must say its very very well written..but d opinion! sucks!!! let me tel u 1 thing... u should b contributing towards making d world a better place n ELIMINATE d evils..rather than make them available freely! u think about dis...if we go ahead n ban drugs or somehow figure out a way 2 eradicate it..then d next generation wont know how it feels 2 have them. So they won't be dying to have them.
It works something like this..you don't know something exists..or you don't have anyone to tell you how it feels to have something..then you won't really be curious to have it yourself. Simple! Its in a way how vegetarians are never curious on having meat. They are not curious about knowing how it tastes..so they don't fall for the temptation.
In any case, once you realize something is not good for you (and i believe you do agree on that), you should be in a lookout to search for a means to avoid it and not for ways to allow them to others so they can know for themselves..albeit too late.

A sweet complain...Or just a wish???
If only I could say to you
All that kept in the heart within
If only you could hear me out
All the words yet left unsaid
If only you could know me well
N know about how much I care
If only you could care as well
N show the feelings yet left unfelt
If only you could give to me
Those small pleasures I wait so long
If only you could do for me
Those little things yet left undone
If only you could come to me
N say it all and set it right
If only you could be with me
N spend the times yet left unspent
If only we could take the chance
N try and do it ll again
If only we can set it right
N make it last...For a lfetime...
All that kept in the heart within
If only you could hear me out
All the words yet left unsaid
If only you could know me well
N know about how much I care
If only you could care as well
N show the feelings yet left unfelt
If only you could give to me
Those small pleasures I wait so long
If only you could do for me
Those little things yet left undone
If only you could come to me
N say it all and set it right
If only you could be with me
N spend the times yet left unspent
If only we could take the chance
N try and do it ll again
If only we can set it right
N make it last...For a lfetime...

The parting....
My heart reaches out to you
Breaking the wordly bonds so strong
It would break up someday I never knew
But time and fate proved me wrong
Looking back at the times we spent
Brings about tears in my eyes
If a moment of love I could be lent
It'd mean me heaven, it ain't no lies
However now that you have to leave
Forget me not is all I say
You've been the one to make me believe
That come what may, our love will stay
Go away now, see me no more
Or your sight will make me cry
Your memories in my heart, I'll always adore
Yet to put up a smile, I promise I'll try

our story... (part 4)
7th Sem
The final season of a memorable series.
Enter: the new HOD : AJ.
The case: Although our relationship was limited to just the one year he made the maximum impact in our lives.
He was supposed to teach us only CSM however he ended up teaching us about life and living , morals and hardwork and ofcourse ‘samay ki maryada’ . Putting the same in a positive way : He was a teacher and not merely a lecturer. The only one who tried his best to finish the portion. And His cabin was like this land of no return. You enter by your own wish(or rather compulsion) but leave by his (and only his). When u came out u felt like it was a brand new day.
There were a few more weird cases this sem…like a magician for a professor ( we were al scared that if didn’t do pracs she would turn us into frogs)..and of course Brijesh sir who jus gave away all the questions with solutions just a day before the mid term!
By now the class had been internally fragmented however we remained externally united. Final project groups were formed accordingly : some expected n some out of choice! Mention of projects would be incomplete without mentioning what we contributed to the college: 5 Linux PCs (now that’s a different thing the system crashed a zillion times before the setup!) All guides were keen on making the groups work..but the class stayed unperturbed (which basically meant they wouldn’t shun their art of copying.even here!)
There were a couple of bright sides as well to this sem—like the MBA exams where a few peple did really well.
However the biggest attraction was unbeatably the printing of DJIT t-shirts.
The case: Excitement..creativity..hype..contreversies…you name it ..it was all there.
The outcome: the efforts paid off. A really well designed t-shirt signifying everything that the class was.
At the end of this sem everyone was really excited about the forthcoming last sem..but very well aware of the fact no1 wanted to accept…the end was here.
8th Sem: jan 2008- jun 2008
The end IS here.
Most ppl have had enuf of engg. So dis sem was more lik a test of patience. Wid attendance made compulsory college was more lik a forced thing rather thn fun. But d class managed to work their way.
The scene: Goa trip A badly neded break.
The case: A very well organized trip (thnx 2 d trip comitee…cheers!!!)
Superfun super blast super rockin (bad food tho!) but a really memorable time of their lives tht no1 wil eva 4get.
The outcome: d class had finally taken d system in their own hands (hope u recollect…)
Dis was followed by sum more fun. D class wanted 2 make d best of whteva lil time they had left wid them.
The scene: sports dy
The case: d class tried 2 showcase their athletic skills with d game of cricket.
The outcome: E4A grabbed d title of d best team (others say it was jus fluke :P)
Thn came d nominations 4 awards which lik always was accompanied by lotsa contrevarsies. Thr was real tough competition 4 a few categories..while thr were othr few categories which were seriouslty avoided by d crwd.
Thn ofcourse came a time every1 dreaded d most- d farewell. Well not exactly a farewell but d 1st of many 2 follow. Hidden emotions surfaced. After a hard time partyin d atmosphere did turn slightly emotional 2wards d end. Hugs were exchanged, goodbyes were said. D only hope- thr was stil sumtime left 2 go.
The scene: Final vivas
The subject: DWM
The case: a prof comes ON TIME 2 take d vivas. Half a batch finsh vivas in les thn an hr. dis was d 1st sign of abnormality. N it did turn out 2 b so. The prof was frm comps dept n was neva meant 2 take d vivas in d st place!
The outcome: arnd 15 ppl end up givin an extra viva 4 no fault of theirs!
Dis was obviously followd by project vivas nfinal theory exams. N o---wht a relief!!!
The class an engineer now.
Well dis was d story of 72 ppl-who formed d class of DJIT 2008-a class apart.
And now tht we hafta say the final goodbye-not knowing wht lies ahead of us, or how many of dese 72 faces we shall b seein again 1 thing tht shall remain unchanged r d memories we have shared 2gether-moments of joys n sorrows, fun n trouble-moments tht shall stay wid us 4 lifetime.

our story... (part 3)
5th Sem:
Most people would consider this as their favourite sem . The most memorible by far .It changed the face of our class. It began with a bang...Making groups for CPL mini project. New friends suddenly emerged. To add to that some people were taking the GRE. It was all smoke widout fire really cause barely anyone actually did the project themselves. Those who did do it themselves found it to be an enriching experience (in more ways than one).
The 'next big thing' was PCT .
Case 1: the group (eventually class) discussions , Personal Interviews and other such sessions got our confidence going. And for the big finish we had a group presentation and reports. We learnt a great deal about working as a team (ok some of usreally did!). Actually we had an even bigger finish to the big finish ...
Case 2:The 'Thank You' speeches for our dear teacher ... completely heart-felt (proof:hand on the heart). We all shared a 'moment'
Case 3: Another defining moment was the midterm when GRE ppl outscored those who attended the whole sem and taught them one day prior. The 'essence' of engineering. The finale was the panic of submitting CPL project : People running helter scelter to Jude and back , Others deciding what to show and what not , and a few wondering how to display score in a Chess Game !!!
Case 4: And ofcourse how can the sem be complete without the mention of Kriti ma’am! Someone really outstanding-at dressing up obviously!
All in all a sem to be remembered : A sem of real bonding and the beginning of new things. It had done its bit by sowing the seeds for the last chapter of our story.
6th Sem:
Things had changed now. But not the combined birthday treats. Most people will remember this sem as the one with maximum to study(6 subjects + viva/Pracs).
But the Nainitaal trip had provided a perfect break. This was the sem when our forum offcially came into existance . And oh dear the gossip forum caused such an earthquake. It became so degrading due to pent up anger that it had to be eventually locked.
Speaking of the subjects few of them stand out: Microprocessors. We had 3 different teachers and of course OOAD in which our prof wasnt allowed in the lift cause he could not convince our liftman that he wasnt a student. ITA was funny too. We just refused to enter the labs for pracs with 'Prof Chintan' despite his constant pleading.
And then there were the DSP vivas with dracula(red hair external). She actually threatened to fail people. At the end of that we had our placements: Tcs, Infosys , Accenture and others which left us in mixed emotions as if it was all going to end soon.

3rd sem: jun 2005-dec 2005
Come 3rd sem n it was time for a dozen more to join d troop. Yes- Enter: the diploma crowd. As if 60 werent enuf now thr were a full 72 of them. Some blended instantly whiole sum tuk a while. But the fact stay- the strength has increased. 3rd sem proved 2 b a sem whr ppl’s nerdy instincts ca,e forth. Tutorials tuk up mst of the time. Hut here also the folks were nt 2 b let down n they showcased theirability of goupwork. Thr were DS tuts by ‘Ranjana ma’am’ who cud neva decisde wheter rthe tuts were a genuine assignment or a class test or jus sum piece of homework neva meant to be completed. N spkin of profs thr was quite a bunch of wierdos here as well. Be it Ranjana maa’m who kept arguing wid 1 student intent on provin her wrng, or jigna whose pracs n vivas were an experience in themselves. Thn of course thr was DLDA maam trupti“ (or gapppi as d class luved 2 cal her) who wud sumhow figure out a way 2 cut short d lec..even if it meant lafin her guts out widout a reason n sendin laughter riots all over.
Mention of tuts wud remain incomplete widout mentin of mr chaware (he deserves the award 4 tesachin d most borin subs thuout d course). 1 dreadful tutorial of his was d day entire mum wud neva 4get- 26th of july 2005.
26th july 2005: Location: room 61
Lecturer: chaware
Tuts: FIT
The scene: Mumbai is flooded due to heavy rains. Trains hav stopped workin. Roads r blocked. But mr chaware wont cut short d tuts cum wht may!
The outcome: 10s of ppl get stranded. Many hafta spend d nite in col-widout electricity. Some even had n exp of cats n mice in d building. 1 of d victim reported 2 b mr chaware himself.
4th sem: jan 2006- jun 2006
Beg of 4th sem marked a very imp time in lives of these ppl.their 1st outdoor trip as a class-the simla trip
Excitement filled every1 2 d core. The 1st major trip-delhi simla kufri. But not all dat sparkles is gold. Disasters weren’t far off.
The 1st case:
Location: delhi
Scene: sum1 gets chicken pox
The outcome: ppl panic in a jiffy. He is rushed 2 d airport. A few begin doubtin their own vaccination regimes. The scene continued even after returnin…leavin arnd 7 oths infected.
Case 2:
Location : simla
Day: d dAy b4 kufri.
The scene: a cpl of pl catch cold-or rather a milder version of hypothermia.
The outcome: those lucky few get all d pamperin frm d gals (n a bit of booze of course ;) )
As if d trip wasn’t enuf-d treat sessions began dis very sem. This was followed by various events in d fests-most ppl turned event heads-infact so many tht participants were doubtful :P.
Anyways now tht d notorious minds had nurtured their leadership skills, they moved ahead 2 apply them & who cud serve as better bakras thn d profs themselves!
D 1st bakra: Snehal Bhosle
Sub: DSP
The case: a scary ma’am wid a really nasty attitude
D Outcome: 72 ppl reported cases of mental torture n emotional harassment.
2nd bakra: K K SinghSub: DSA
The case: A prof who luved the so called ‘tea’ algorithm n was simply fond of givin really whacky examples.
3rd bakra: Meera Narvekar
Sub: DSA
The case: sum1 who tried to present herself as really stern n regular wid her work
The outcome: well—wht 2 say..those assignments r pendin till date.
