bored out of doing nothing-part II

A 24 hours first hand story of a final semester "single" VITian male suffering from "project semester" syndrome

I wake up at 7:00 am, it’s too early according to engineering standards, I agree but after sleeping at nine the previous day even sleeping seems a monotonous task. I have my breakfast amidst the relatively calm atmosphere of north Indian vegetarian mess, which is generally crowded in morning with hungry people with groggy and puffy eyes due to either over sleeping or night outs watching movies or playing DOTA, Counter Strike or FIFA over the LAN. I get back to room and wait patiently for the newspaper guy to deliver the newspaper so that I can while away another hour or so. With no fixed agenda to while away the time between newspaper browsing and lunch I read a few pages of novel or take a short shower. Finally the mess opens again for lunch, I have my lunch and move to the campus then while away some more time before snacks. I surf the net a bit in the lab, frankly there’s not much to browse as orkut and g talk are banned. Finally bored I move to library to read a few more magazines or to pick up a book to kill some more time at my room. After what seems like ages its 5 o’clock. 5 o’clock is a heaven on otherwise dry campus life out here in VIT. It’s a time when classes come to an end and couples and potentially single females roam around in the campus encouraging singles like us to loiter around braving the hot sun. Finally the day comes to an end and I move to mess again to have my last meal of the day. By the time I reach room one of my roommates is smart enough to get a movie or an episode of roadies or big bang theory or even sa-re-ga-ma-pa to while away the time till mid night. Finally another day comes to an end and I think of new ways to kill the next day lying on the bed.

P.S- if it’s Saturday we watch a movie in hall for a change

Believe me friends it’s tougher doing nothing than pretending to be busy doing something

Political rhetorics and cheap gimmicks

Hiya,
Election is just round the corner for a change.(generally it's always exams round the corner!!) So as an average Indian citizen its hilarious to read snippets the daily newspaper, and no I'm not talking about the comic section. Take a look at the recent ignited minds of Indian Political Parties coming up with innovative election manifesto (after probably weeks of brainstorming i guess):

Samajwadi Party vows to do away with Machines, computers and abolish English: (stunned ? read on)


samajwadi party, a party that describes itself as a democratic socialist party claimed that if a new government were to be formed with Samajwadi party's support it'd advocate for the following changes:

1.Abolish use of English in education and schools providing "expensive educations"

2.Scrap use of computer in new projects.

3. Ban the use of mechanized farming, that includes harvesters, tractors.

All the above moves are supposedly done to provide employment to millions of labourers and generate jobs.


And Mulayam Singh Yadav's UP legislative assembly claims he has done his M.A, B.T from Agra University, Agra (Uttar Pradesh) (for credentials check here --> http://uplegassembly.nic.in/mulayamsinghyadav.html)

i don't think this post needs much to comment. But it's hilarious :)
