Convocation+Independence Day+The LIBA Storm

And finally I get to post from hostel! I know its been a long silence on this blog. And like a good manager, I have something to blame on. This time the real culprit is "Hostel Internet Connection". My browsers homepage is the sweet and simple Google page, and it takes minimum of 5 minutes to load it. I can't remember when I opened my Gmail inbox in standard view. Even this time, I opened the blog editing page and had a nice nap before I could type something on this!

But in spite of all these hurdles, yours truly makes it a point to update the unofficial identity of LIBA. *Applause Applause*

Batch 08-10 Convocation

No feeling is better than meeting your batch mates after leaving college. It was a sight of Nostalgia and Memories at the Convocation of 2008-10 batch. And trust me, it feels awesome when you meet your Seniors once again :)

Most of the conversations were based on everyones survival saga's on the job! A common tip from all the Seniors : Enjoy your college days, job is not as good as being a student. Advice taken.

Wishing all the best to all our seniors for the years ahead!

Gone yesterday, Hair today

In the last post, I reported about people going bald in LIBA. But recently, a reverse trend has been observed with those who have already passed out. Check the pics below!

This transformation has been an envy of many people, including the one below.

At the convocation, even the "Best management student of India" was not recognized by the finance professor of the college. Reason: Gone yesterday, Hair today :)

Independence Day Celebrations

Patriotism was in the air as LIBA celebrated the Independence day. The Circle did a commendable work with the arrangements. But the celebrations suddenly turned into a riot. Thanks to the rains. Order was finally restored after the intervention of a popular figure who stretched out his hands and the boisterous crowd ceased! Oh the miracles yoga can work on people!

The LIBA Storm

One fb status update from a Senior who passed out last year has taken the college by storm. There have been a truck load and titanic load of debate on it. The faculty has been equally taken aback by such a statement made on a Social Media website. I won't comment on this, as I have my personal opinions and this is a public blog. People do know to differentiate between right and wrong. :)

Immediately following the post and some 'likings', a mail was sent by head of Vital committee to the students. The 'Likings' have created a sense of anxiety among juniors if something was done out of personal enmity. However, the entire issue has opened a can of worms. It is indeed an unsaid protocol that we act responsibly outside college premises. In the end, we owe a lot to this institution! LIBA rocks \m/

The Campus Radar

The exam time table is out and it sent a shiver down many a spine among both the years. Natasha and Sonia were hospitalized 2 weeks back. Natasha returned to college few days back, while Sonia is still recovering. As per her latest fb update she is "minus an organ now". Wish her a speedy recovery. The frequency of epidemic victims has decreased since past few days. *Touch Wood*

From the Gossip Factory

In the last post I promised to give hint about the lady love of "Sleeping Child". Well, here is the hint: The girl is very fair by her skin color. More hints to follow. :)

Two Mangalorean girls from the first year 'were' great friends. Their love for each other caught on like wild fire. Then the precious stone girl started becoming possessive about the "guy whose name starts with a girl". But now the great friends hardly speak to each other. Recently, one of the great friends is back after a long time.. will the distance worsen? Or will they patch up? Secret Reporter bets that the "guy whose name starts with a girl" will get dragged into this very soon! We're opening the betting for the grand finale. Please contact secret reporter to place your bets.

Secret reporter has discovered cases of rampant smuggling of chicken curry into the hostel. Not sure who's the supplier. Our detectives are currently investigating. A special edition will be out once we get the entire story.

The "Exchange" boy is reportedly fed up of being constantly spied by "NRI" girl. But then she is far from being "Bond... James Bond" ;)

Thats all for now. Will be back soon. Till then All the Best with exams ;)

The Circle + Next to "D" Cell + The trend + The Sleeping Child

So here I am back with some Scoop on Life @ LIBA! To start with, everyone is err.. cribbing.. though I never imagined LIBA students would crib about studies. But then this has been a shock for first years to take it in the first term itself :D *Evil laugh from the breed who has passed that phase*

Btw I got this cribbing info from my best reporter... the FB(I)! Everyone on it has put this as their status update at least once :P

The Circle is rolling

So its the time that the Circle starts rolling. An eventful 15th August has been planned out this Sunday. Here is a call for all the Patriotic Indians for a Patriotic Flag hoisting with some Patriotic songs and a Patriotic speech. Well, it was indeed truly Patriotic last year :)

The sports events are all lined up between the Juniors and the Seniors. May the best men win!

The Circle has been very peaceful and calm... which is so unlike the Circle! Is this the silence before the storm?

Next to "D" Cell celebrations

Next to "D" Cell is celebrating its 1st Anniversary on 12th August. They have managed to get the derby founder to give a pep talk on Entrepreneurship. Btw the new meeting spot of the members is the OAT. Guess the fresh air helps in getting back the brains that we leave outside classrooms :P

Students seem to be pretty happy about the celebrations coz they feel that this will not be compulsory like the guest lectures... but you never know :)

Sad that next to "D" Cell did not keep a booze party instead :D

The latest trend on Campus

The fashion radar beeped a long time back. Last time it beeped when it spotted a tattoo somewhere, and now it beeps coz of high intensity reflections.

The hair on the heads have been disappearing these days. As a result, the radar is facing high intensity reflections from the exposed area on the skull. Have to ask them to stop using whatever oil they are using :P

The fashion followers believe that shaving the head relieves pressure. A lighter head means lighter mind, and consequently improves performance. "Hitman" was among the first followers of the trend.

Apparently, this new phenomenon is called "hair today, gone tomorrow".

Hope this 'bald' phenomenon does not hit the girls, else Dr.Love will feel jobless.

The "Sleeping Child" wins!

No no.. the "Sleeping child" is still kicking and alive. This is to remember his achievements that went unidentified and unnoticed with the other stories of LIBA. He is the mentor of the above mentioned trend group. And he was the winner of the "Best good looking boy in Seniors" contest that was carried out during the Signature Campaign. Unfortunately, the junior girls feelings never got publicly announced. So I chose to announce it here. *Clap Clap*

The "Sleeping Child" has a crush on one of the Junior Girls. Who is the lucky girl? I will disclose the hints on posts to follow. If you identify the girl, you will win a dinner date with both of them :P

The Campus Radar

The L&T guy had an accident 3 days back and suffered from a badly sprained left hand. He left college in a huff and met with an accident. Wish him speedy recovery.

The prof who broke all hell loose on the first years got transformed after sitting under a tree and made his followers happy. A ship building game did this magic. The students were all praise for him after the game. He even threw a soft drink party for all the students in the canteen. I wish this was a compulsory guest lecture for the second years as well :P

The search for the transformational magic tree has been started.

"Dont be so Jiby!" is the new adjective people have started using following some series of incidents that took place while Jiby was helping build a ship.

From the Gossip Factory

Secret Reporter is under a huge scrutiny - In risk of his/her life! There are a number of spy agents out to assassinate him/her for the gossip sold out.

The "NRI" girl has been all over the "Exchange" guy to woo him. As per Dr. Love, she confesses of knowing him more than anyone else.

Dr. Love can smell another cross border connection happening and can already feel the Globalization. This connection involves the "Muscle" guy.

As per the reporters, the "Cloud" girl does not like the guys of her batch. Radar spots her around the Senior guys and says *beep* :)

A big gift was given by the "flame" guy to his 'best friend'. The size of the gift exceeded the size of the recipient but then they are just good friends. :)

Emergency Alert

This post is being written on a serious note. No Gossips. No Stories.

Many people in the college have fallen victims to blood sucking monsters and their menace.

Also, the water and food have lead to numerous cases of Cholera, Diarrhea, Food Poisoning, Jaundice etc.

Here is a bit of Information which may be very Useful:

• Every LIBA'ite has been insured under 'Accident and Medical Insurance'. The insurance cover is upto `30,000. (Both - Cashless and Reimbursement)
• Every student has an identity number which needs to be specified while making a claim. The number is available with Sudhakar Sir.
• To claim the insurance amount, the affected person has to be hospitalized in a hospital with proper facilities. Eg. B.R. Hospital on G.N. Chetty Road.
• Go to the insurance department in the hospital and inform them beforehand for a cashless claim.
• Our 3rd Party Insurance provider is "Cholamandalam". Check their website for a list of hospitals where you can avail cashless treatment.

Binu is in hospital, Praveen was discharged from hospital today, Shweta is suffering from Jaundice, Innumerable people are suffering from Food poisoning and Diarrhea...

Wish a speedy recovery for all the affected souls.

Stay Healthy. Stay Alive. Amen.

From the Vital committee + The Campus Radar

Its been long time since the last post, blame it on Kotler for saying so many things to the B2B professor. Its been one hectic week for marketing people. But have to admit, at the end of B2B class, every person in the room saw himself as the best potential sales guy. This week, its the finance people who will be playing 'Survival of the fittest'. By the way, I got an ultimate solution for the mosquito problem reported in last blog - keep the door and windows shut. :P

From Vital Committee

Father and the head of vital committee had a meeting with the Second years to ring a bell and say "Its almost here! Start preparing!" :)

So now, its almost the time to gulp air, remember all the gods possible and gather courage to touch those books lying in the shelf. Some spiders have actually made it their home sweet home. Will feel sorry for them. And yes, hope for the best with "Its almost here" part!

The Campus Radar

(This section is because I have some things to write but they don't fall under any section. This place is dedicated to those updates)

It was the "first" weekend off for the first years and they fell in love with it like their first love! People including the Italian gang were seen running off to the old favourites - Pondicherry and Mahabalipuram.

The junior CR has taken one step forward compared to senior CR. A cake was cut by the first years as a tribute to the Friendship day today. People just need a reason to eat cakes :P

From the Gossip Factory

The "German" guy who shares his last name with a first year girl finally got his long awaited German shoes. Apparently the shoes caused him a lot of mental trauma. The company took about 2 weeks to make them and another 4 weeks for them to reach him. As a result, the theme teams morale was affected as their leader din't have shoes to slip into. Now that they have arrived he has slipped into his leaders shoes! A Mocktail was reportedly sponsored by him to celebrate the ocassion :)

The "Classical dancer + Party goer" (the + sign was to show polar differences of life) girl of the junior batch is single and is looking for eligible seniors. She finds her batch boring and wants someone hot, handsome and smart. A Vital committee member and a "next to D Cell" member are among the front runners :P

Something is brewing between the "NRI" girl and the "Exchange" boy reports Dr. Love. Time: Post midnight - She was last seen dropping by at the place of the "Singer" girl . The "Exchange" guy dropped her. Reportedly, she has been attending a lot of firangi parties :)

They were found in.... err many people have intruded their privacy before. Hence, Dr. Love decides to respect it and no more information will be disclosed here.

The "Teddy bear" boy has been upset due to a facebook fan page created for him. He did not like it and the page was deleted on his complaint. Ever since, He has stopped speaking with the creator of that page. The reason was indeed not big enough to affect a good friendship.

Who will the classical dancer zero in on? Will geographical boundaries stop the NRI girl? Keep following ;)

(Phew! Too much info for this post) :P

Reporting Live and more Lively! Laterz!
