Guest Post by B11! (Finally! :) )

Life in LIBA is coming to a close and we’ll all be parting pretty soon. Each one going our own ways, profession, cities, etc. etc. Well here’s a small bit for you all to remember when we’re all long gone.

Hmmm now where do we start from? Alphabetical order seems good, or should we follow a degree of controversy ranking? Nah .. Let’s just talk about a normal day at LIBA.

First things we notice on entering the canteen are two people sitting and eating thayirr saadam (curd rice) n bhindi (vendakka) usually. Thickest of friends is what we think they are. One argues with no reason or point and the other is a silent killer. As outgoing as they seem, they do make life fun for a lot of people here in LIBA.

After passing them, we go straight to get breakfast coupons. OMG..!! what do we see here? Ans: A loud thunderous voice saying… “Annaaa Poooori” (comes first and is passed on to a girl with a halo on her head) and then “Annaa Dosaaa” (comes after 15 mins). By the time dosa reaches the table, the poori is over.. We wonder how?

Next escaping from this entire crowd, for a breath of fresh air, where does one go? Ans: Near the window. And what do you see – transporters Mr. Bean with his empty car and Salman Khan’s action packed car. The reason we think for this differential is that after the crash test, the old car doesn’t seem to pump as much as it used to anymore ;) or is it because Sallu bahi is working out only his biceps at 99F. Is this why Sallu Bhai misses his TT practice these days.?

Moving away from this scene, just outside the canteen we see the “AR Rahman in the making” boy on his bike competing for the same transporting business. And just beside this, thin Vijay Mallya, with his Canon DSLR searches for new Kingfisher models. We do know that Mr. Mallya personally interviews all his models, and we wonder if our own Mallya does the same too? He also has another side to himself- philanthropic activities with half the diameter. Now is this what we call split personality disorder? Wait whoa… The boy who bought Dosa and poori is walking away carrying a bag now and following him is the soft spoken “holy” girl. After two years we finally found out that they are just good friends.

Further moving into the OAT we spot many interesting permutations and combinations. Our Azhagiya Tamizh Magan having a conversation; irenically oops sorry for the typo- ironically* :P. Guess they are planning his upcoming wedding with the girl who visited him during LIBArated. On the other side, there’s an awesome threesome. :O Guess if he has lost his cruise control after their entrepreneurial venture with pollution masks. Talking about entrepreneurship “He came, he saw, he left the college”. The team and investors seem to be tracking him down. Kya picture abhi bhi baaki hai?

After this we go into the library to the stack room to finish up some work for an assignment. We stumble upon the Alto’s brand ambassodor making plans to promote his tagline “Let’s go in an alto”. We wonder what is the purpose of the stack room.? Is it for learning or some bonding happening with books or over books? Talking about assignments, the “imommy” seems to have an upper hand with all her presentations. Is it because of all her i-products or her honorary membership with Scribd.com.

Tired, we go to the common room to get some water. OOH., we see a Crishnan with his new Samsung galaxy S2 phone. Wonder where he bought it from?? Or was it a gift? This gentleman has also converted the common room into a dining hall under the pretext of studyin with an 8 point someone :D. His friend, “Milky bar” has been dealing in a lot of “activities” recently, which has resulted in the misuse of the Economic Times. The proof of which was found out in the room of the “boy who plays shuttle with his phone”.

Then we hear a sudden laugh outside in the bike park. Sin(v)/Cos(v) screaming at the top of her voice assembling her “gym-team”.  One DANGErous gentleman wondered “whether its bout fitness or matrimonial sites providing them feedbacks and suggestions”. Whatever it is, it is quite a sight to see the results emerging. ;)

After a long day we come back to the hostel. Sports fever is back but looks a lot dull this time because of an additional badminton court at the girl’s hostel. We still see coaching sessions happening. Last semester means trips also. We recently heard about a trip to yearcaud by the “tu mera hero boys”. This song seems to have become a hot favourite now in the hostel playing alound especially during their drinking sessions.

Coaching Sessions

  

Valentine’s Day just went by. We smelt a lot of love in LIBA air. The B11 boys made trips to Bangalore, Khadar Nawaz Khan road, Azuri bay, EA and one of them ended up going to church also. Guess who went where. We also got intelligence reports about double date activities at the Hilton hotel. The self proclaimed “Single girls” went on a consolation dinner too. Are they really single? because we see them often mingling with a lotta people :) .

To conclude on a serious note. Its raining marriages and engagements at LIBA. We wish all our forward looking boys/girls good luck. May God’s choicest blessings be with all the couples.

Here is a parting message from the B11 boys. “We will miss you all. Let your light shine, and make our college and nation proud. Those who feel like crying please get a tissue paper, and those who don’t please go cut an onion”

wanted- if found please inform Merry Boy :) 

 New found party animal :)

 Gym girl’s diet :D

A Journey to Remember -2

Guess whose!

A Journey to Remember...

The Finance Study group meeting diligently...

Gossips + Events + Updates on coming issues + PICS

Things are moving fast in this part of the world. The vacation saw 3 people get commited. The insight technical guy who committed into marriage, this year's vital committee Cordinator and the CTS girl who is leaving for the states this month, in engagement . Wow! We seem to be faster than our senies. Congrats guys! :)
The moon flower boy of f10 has come out about his girl finally. Pics can be found on facebook for the curious ones. Seems the story is 7 years long...
(F09 is also catching up. Marriages are happening left right center.)

Meanwhile, the celebrations are at a swing this time of the year.
Junies had chrispops and chrismoms who made each other's Christmas and New year special for them. Gifts and tasks were exchanged and given to everyone. Seems they are already practicing to give tasks to the F12 batch coming. :P
The postponed Libarated on 21st of the month. Although the theme is the same, the excitement seems to have died down. Organizers listening? Will that 70s night be black and white?
Pongal celebrations unlike last year, due to time constraints, is only for half a day this year and the "Pongal boys" have taken it onto themselves to make it a big success.
The ELA [extra liba activities] organizer has taken up yet another program for our social initiative wing. This time a lot of trees are going to get planted and taken care of.
The cocoon is getting ready again to slowly transform into the butterfly. It is that time of the year again. A group of enthusiastic ones are working on both online and offline events this year.

The couple formation is still in vogue.

Any guesses why these guys are waiting 
near the girls hostel mess anybody? :P

The cat eyed girl is seen spending a lot of time with a guy. Even thoug they maintain they are just friends, the smile after that could mean something else.
The 'knight rider' (or so he would like to be called here) made a small scene on facebook saying it was finally official with the 'american indian babe' in his own words. People wondered if his lady friend was an american indian by any chance.
And the "blue legged" girl of past also seems to be going on steady with her beau.
There are other couples who are lying low to come out at the right moment. Keep guessing who!
And as the 2nd year is coming to an end, the serious couples are seen hanging out together literally all the time. Good luck to them. :)
There is certain 'milkybarish' tendency to some of the conversations that happen around. Wondering if the milkybars sold these days are crushed!
A certain outsider was seen touring the campus with the 'tamil cry baby' recently. "Just friends" reply seems to be the only thing other than smiles that she could give when pandora inquired about it.
The 'baby' seems to have a crush on somebody in the batch. But somehow, teasings were taken in stride by both of them. So, it could either be a yes or no. :P

The KD of F10 seems to have decided not to go for the exchange program because he didnt think spending money for it was worth it. He should have let the other students try and get through who would have gone for sure. And the other one has already left. She is Delhi for a week for the VISA processing and stuff.

The exchange students are already here for the sem. These bunch are from again france, germany and mexico. There seems to be a buzz in the ladies' lot of liba about one of the exchange students. He is considered cute and worth a shot by a lot of girls here. The committed ones, please hold onto your girlfriends tight :P

On a lighter note, Anybody Interested? :P

The graceful lady is back from her Yatra. Her yatra is supposed to have made a big impact on her life. She met entrepreneurs and even people who had quit secure jobs to do community service for life. Hope our some of our junies go next year and have fun and gain exposure.

The Mother Teresa Award function saw 6 corporate teams presenting. CTS, HPCL, Hindustan Zinc, MARG were among the teams. The student jury had 'father', the chery girl, the vedanta boy and the robin bird.

One of our lady faculty -Guess who!-has let her hair down literally this year. Students were surprised at this sudden style change. Most of them are still trying to figure out the reason for this style change. Any guesses or revelations?

The ladies hostel is finally blessed with LAN and that is thoroughly 'exploited' by the inmates. Wonder if the establishment and other charges, when they finally come, will make casualty admissions in nearby hospitals for fainting.
F10 has also decided to enjoy the last 3 months thoroughly. Beach parties, ladies' nights, outings... Most of us would be students for the last time in our lives.

And like an online year book,
Pandora will soon start a profiling of the 10-12 batch in the blog so that the batch, world and our alumni can come to know about the batch better. A lot of our batchmates have businesses running and awards that never were given much PR. I think it would be great if we knew each others' strengths better before we leave. And it would certainly be a good platform for you to promote yourself ;)

Btw, Pandora has finally found a successor who will write a guest post soon. Wait for it.. :)

Love till the next post which will be verrrry soon! (Promise! :D )

Gossips + Events + Super Seniors + The Hunt!

The Vital committee member with a British accent has been trying on one of the exchange students for so long. Calling her for Pondy trips asking out.. But my reporters tell me that he has had no luck yet. But then, he does not seem to be the one to give up. Keep trying ;)

The precious stone girl is seen hanging around in the campus and outside it with a certain junior, most evenings. Coffees and Nescafes.. Has Obama been left out?
No. Obama is seen hanging around with the Musk Deer. But Musk Deer claims that he is just a good friend. So both the precious stone and Obama on different roads now?

Liberation has been postponed due the love affair between the circle and rain. :( It is said that events organized by the circle is jinxed with a curse from the rain. Incidentally, girls of LIBA has given '33%' reservation to guys in 'talking nonstop' event. While 2 girls took away the first and second places, third was given to a guy. ;) But the celebration went into the form of liberation in rain. After all the noise they[we] made at the OAT, a visiting faculty was seen dialing the authorities' number. This sent all of those who were liberated, running for cover. But yeah, liberated or not, we celebrated :)
So, the Circle members informed it will be in early January.

Well, the one who wrote here before me previous Dr. Love, went and silently got himself engaged. Out of the blue, FB carried his Roka pics and then the engagement pics. Yours truly interviewed him for a juicy gossip only to find that it was pakka arranged marriage. :( November 6th is the engagement and next year would see them getting married. After all those gossips he wrote about everybody, we could not find him putting the toe out of line.
The lady Love who is going to decorate his heart, designs interiors and is his Fate from now on. ;) Well, best wishes for your love filled life Dr. Love! ;)
Incidentally, someone's, [who was his best friend all through the life in LIBA,] likes and comments were present in absentia all the way. Go find who! :P

The biggest event of campus was a success this year too. Core team was seen running around on phones and teams to get things done. Good work and Insight team! Cheerz!
The 'Numbers People' of campus had their share of glory when their conclave found space in the pages of major newspapers. The noted point was that, it was a ladies' army leading the clan.
Espire prelims happened today and was organized by the Ecell of the college. This time, we see more initiative from the juniors' side. The next rounds as usual will happen soon with TieCon.
The mindfulness of leadership is also on the way. The Exec Lady is taking care of that event. We do have a lot of events happening all through the sem eh! :) This year’s theme is Eco-Innovation: Time to Wake Up!

The One in the four of the 'Mallu gang' who has a secure future, was found family planning, some days after securing it. :P How many years till marriage, till this... till that.. He is all set for future it seems. ;) What when how why...

The search [rather hunt] for the Pandora  of 2012 has begun. The stage is all set. People who are interested to carry on the legacy, mail me an exclusive scoop which portrays your creati-witty, humor and nose-for-news skills. :) The hunt has begun! Beware of repercussions of writing here btw :P
So, who is next? :)

Till Next Post,
Love,
Pandora


PS- Even though the messages from the junies have been a bit overboard, this competition needs a look from all of us for 'likes'. Go here and you will see the contestants and their posters. LIBA's highest scorer is just 100 likes away from being the overall first. Please like and promote LIBA and its contestants there. [On special request from Itty :) ]

Gossips + Events + Celebrations + Super Seniors

I know you are saying 'Long time no see'. But yeah, writers' block. :D


So, here goes!


Gossips

Reports were confirmed that Ted talks has asked an ex student cum entrepreneur to speak for a whole 18 minutes' duration and the video will be available on Ted talks from next month. For people who didnt still get who he is, the one who slept and wanted to be called a biatch.

The common room sees some couples [ those that have publicly confirmed and those that deny anything put forward ] during the day and evenings studying 'seriously'. During and without exams, this pattern has been observed by many a reporter. Wonder when there will be more for Dr. Love to talk about from the common room. ;)

The blue legged girl of past, and her 'politically ex' we[a]re seen together in classes these days. When inquired about whether they have gotten back together again, the guy decided to wonder why he should tell anyone if something is there. But the lady made a statement that it was not him and someone serious this time around. And for the readers from Dr. Love, the guy is off campus. ;) 

The super senior pair, mallu boy and the hyderabadi biriyani, by the latest update have drifted apart.

The junior 'end of the night' [as many of the batch mates identify him] and the junie girl apparently have drifted away from each other. This change was visible after the recent long vacation. The foreigner seems to have lost interest and so has the girl. Or was it just a communication gap?

The Washington boys are having a hell of a time now. Incidentally, the JLL intern was gifted something really controversial before leaving by his friends aka the 6 packer and the tall one. Go figure! :P


The 'official' photographer was seen sporting hickeys some time back. He still has not divulged who is responsible for it. Neither did he try to defend when asked if it could be an insect bite. My reporters contemplate that it could be a junie [from the lot he frequently interacts with] who is responsible. :P

The financial controller of the student firm, is still recuperating from her rendezvous at the hospital. She will not be participating in the fashion show of the liberation movement of the campus this year to the disappointment of the senies. She is consoling herself being the coordinator of the event this year. Apparently, there is a run for money when comes to leg injuries and girls at our college.

Photo Session of Bums at an interval :P

Events
The biggest event of the campus was decided to be cut short to a 'single happening day' by the guides with insight. Although this will cut out the final celebration time too, as declared by the father of the event, when asked about the final hulahoo. Lets see the 'brighter' side. No expenses for 'celebrations' this time around. Lets all just celebrate BOP.

The liberation of both the batches are set to happen this weekend. The junies seem to spend time during evenings to practice. Good going guys :) And all the best.

The Diwali this year saw celebrations starting with a Pooja and crackers. Fortunately, nobody was hurt during the celebrations. The girl with the track record of being burnt every time she went anywhere near a cracker, this time chose to stay far and watch. With a leg injury [and a blue plaster], she was anyways not going to be in a position to run around with things. As usual, the Phoenix bird was her helping hand shooing away trespassers with crackers. For those who didnt notice, the bird and her had a short period of 'misunderstanding' and the bird had hanging around with the tattoo girl and 'the circle' head. The pair soon made up the differences though and are back together. All izz well!

The Diwali celebrations also saw the two Rs make up their 'differences' as informed by one of my reporters. For those who missed the bus, they had their differences for some time. Now, all izz well again or so it seems.

During Onam celebrations, more names of guys came up than some of the lady nominees for the manka competition. Yours truly had some 300 nominations to filter from, obviously spam included. One of the junies confided that he was sitting and punching in one name for like a 100 times. Crushes could make people do things eh? :)

The God's call this year found some 'ungodly' people attending it. Apparently talking while someone else talking [the usual communication problem] infuriated the messenger. This in turn resulted in some very 'visionary' FB statuses. The story goes that, most of those 'ungodly' ones have decided not to attend any more of those calls.

Until the blog calls next time,
Love,
Pandora :)

Gossips + Events + Super-seniors + Trivia

Obama received a gift from the precious stone [like last year] and he wore it two days later, to affirm he liked the gift. Well, are they back together? Or is it 'just friends' again? :P Dr. Love does nt think its just friends. Obama's budday songs this time were all sung with three girls' names in it. The precious stone was one of them.

For Backrubs contact .. double zero triple one! :P
Picture speaks for testimonials. [A shot from the breaks of a basketball match]

The tall guy confronted Pandora one day recently, asking her 'why did you take a pic of my diary?', about the pic in the previous post. Well guys, clarifying that 'it' was a diary entry. :D

A certain girl in the juniors, whose name has both feet and moon in it, has been liking a certain junior boy's pics left right center, as pointed out by the official photographer of the college. While the bias is evident, the girl denied that it was because of any particular reason. Hah! Too many sentences start with such seemingly unimportant 'no reasons'. :P

The Golden girl and Light boy were spotted in a theatre [drama theatre actually] recently [some days back] enjoying the show lesser than each other's company. Dr. Love felt good to see the love in blooms. :) Incidentally some of their gang friends were with them too. But the main attraction for them obviously was each other. Do we hear any other bells? ;)

The vital committee member who was making a lot of appearances here without meaning to, was reported to have a crush on a senior mallu this time. Incidentally, his car and attitude is what she likes the most. The black.. Well, Pandora will not give out too much information here. :P

Good capture. Could not help sneaking this pic out from  the photographer's album. :D

One of the Rs was spotted sporting a kickey with an H. Well by witnesses reports, not one, but three kickies were 'sported'. Littles people make big impacts. Aye? The bigger ones carry the results around. Incidentally, on Janmashtami celebrations, the little one was seen scolding the other for stripping his tee off. Apparently, he was trying to get 'heads turned', that turned a single head and started a single scolding.

Some '99 people' are getting a lot of revenue from the health freaks of the college. What with personal trainers and loads of money, by the last count, 25+ people from the senior batch alone were visiting and working out in gyms. That is almost 1/4th of the batch. Wonder when the bug will bite with the same ferocity, the juniors. Incidentally, the super seniors have been complaining of lack of time and reasons for any form of exercise. Taking a leaf out of these books would help. [Mostly the '99 people' :P ]

Janmashtami celebrations this year, saw the record unbroken. This time too, the peacock boy had the honors to break the matki and F10 were the winners. Cheerz to F10 [again] ! The enthusiasm of the juniors was not any lesser though.

The winners and their girls

Some of the super seniors [The designer and a small gang] had chosen to meet up in the college the same day. The common room stood witness to the get together.

The basketball team of the college showed high spirits during their match with another college on the 'inaccessible by girls' grounds of the campus. Though initially the girls were worried whether they would be allowed to watch the match, two brave ones [ the finance controller of her own company and yours truly] walked into the ground filled with an ocean of guys and started cheering the team. Soon, a bunch of our students joined the cheering team.

Strategising like true MBAs :P

Rain stopped the game with 8 minutes to go and the cheering team had to leave unfortunately. The game restarted for the 8 minutes later but as one of the Spartans put it,  'they snatched defeat from the mouth of victory' by losing for one point. Nevertheless, the spirits and team dynamics were really good. Incidentally, the opponents decided to show off their anger like kids. One of our team members showed me a bruise mark from the pinches they were instilling on our people. Nevertheless, our team gave back as good as they got. ;) Good job guys!

Faculty unfortunately failed to make it to this edition. :P

Till my next post,
Love,
Pandora
