Convocation 2009 + Cricket match + Karthikeyan's treat

Rating: 4


Yesterday was Sandhya Kurian's b'day(31.10.09).
Today John Britto's & Anto (1st Years) are celebrating their b'days. Wish them.

The guys who can imitate lot of Tamil actors like T.R, Bhakhiya raj & so on, during karthikeyan's b'day party.


Karthikeyan's B'day party in which 21 of LIBA family members(1st & 2nd yr) were there. It was a wonderful party in alagappar restaurant, Tnagar. Its a deluxe hostel and food is tasty but expensive. The party was filled with jokes, lecture by B'day boy,mimicry by servite's pet boy, gossips about the people present there(Read gossip column). Karthikeyan also fondly called as 'Major" was entertaining everyone with his witty comments. Don't get deceived by his tough look. If you get a chance catch him off work. He can be one hell of an entertainer. Supposedly if he starts singing you can never stop him. :)
Convocation 2009 was headed by Shri.Venu Srinivasan,Chairman & MD TVS motor company. It started at 4 p.m. Highlights apart from the degree certificate distribution: LIBA theme song, National anthem Remix, LIBA video, LIBA history, Annual report and honouring former directors of LIBA. Cheerful moment : Basheer(1st yr) getting his part-time diploma certificate.


Mumbai 'shining' star taking an extra parcel of sweets after the 'convocation' . For whom?
There was surplus of snacks and sweets.
"Connected" committee's LIBA T-shirt for convocation. They refused to reveal about the T-shirt till the last day. I thought it was only meant for alumni. But they were trying to sell it to the current batch too. Whats up with the surprise launch? How many T-shirt's were sold?
Which are the two committees that are planning to come up with LIBA T-shirts?

Cricket match: current batch Vs Alumni . Our players(1st & 2nd yrs) batted first and set a target of 98 runs thanks to ("Ambulance designer & has the second name of Australian front-line pacer "midge or notch"),first year".The pace generated in the bowling by the alumni team was too much for our batsmen to handle. Alumni won the match with more than 2 overs to spare. Some supporters tried to cheer the team but no cheer could boost our batch guys game. Then those supporters(girls) started practicing outside the field. May be we should replace few of our 'big' players with these girls in the next match as those girls seems to have a pretty good technique like Rani mukherjee in Dil bole hadippa. :)
Guest Lecture which got cancelled. It will be conducted another day.

Gossip column(Warning : Below stated may or may not be true):

1. Second Year "Rock fort city" HR guy learning french
2. (Dia/2)'s secretary seems to be frequently visiting Library early in the morning to read newspaper. But there are rumours that the reason behind his visit has 'deeper' issues beyond reading newspaper.
3.The guy with the brand name of the famous suit company seems to be closely associated with 31.10.09(Clue : Answer lies in this post) for no clear reason.

LIBA official video a sneak...
A glimpse of LIBA official video..only few seconds...I will upload the full video once it is available. Talking about the original video(Not this), the editing is good,though some more visual effect could have been used..the audio & video clarity is above average and most importantly content is in line with LIBA's positioning.

Get well soon + Binu and Karthikeyan's Birthday

"Thumb impression" club 1st year members.


Decent place to eat...ChicKing
Rating: 3 1/2 out of 5

One of our LIBA family member Sandhya(2nd Year) had fractured her leg few weeks back. Even though she hasn't recovered fully she started coming to college . Lets pray for her speedy recovery. Right now she is staying in LIBA men's hostel and her "close friend"? Rhys(b'day boy) is taking good care of her.

Today I went to "ChicKing" restaurant in Nungambakkam High Road for lunch along with friends. It is a decent fast food restaurant similar to KFC. Its cheaper than KFC but the taste of the chicken is not as good as KFC. Burger is ok. Ice cream is not that great. I had my dinner in "Kumarakom" restaurant, kodambakam high road. You get most of the kerala food there. Though the food was good, the number of customers were less than the number of employees till we left.

Tomorrow Binu(1st Year) and Karthikeyan(2nd Year) are celebrating their b'days. Wish them.

Events:
"Thumb impression" club is giving an opportunity for LIBA students to meet Ms. Vani Aiyer, Vice President - Client Servicing, JWT. JWT is a company to look out for any one who has little bit inclination towards advertising. It is going to be interesting to hear about the 'Relevance of MBA in advertising agencies' . You will never know, one day everyone will be watching your ads in T.V. Be there @ 11.45 a.m, 31st october(Saturday) to discover your creative side.

Every Individual is a brand + Rhys b'day tomorrow

Today is Rhys (Insanity)'s b'day. Wish him.
Rating: 2 1/2

Every Individual is a brand is a new topic that will list the good things people do in LIBA campus. I strongly believe that there are 240 brands in LIBA and every brand is unique. This is also a campaign to make sure few brands which does good work but gets hidden(no credit) under 'dominating' brands. So any positive action by any individual(Which are significant) that our team notices in this campus will be posted here in this blog.

Event update:

LIBA's BPC registration is coming to an end on 30th October. 'Dia/2' successfully completes its first quarter. There is a review meeting on Friday 4 p.m headed by Prof.Anthuvan.

Gossip Column(By reporter E-nil):

Hunter's Orgin

Not many knows about this new character called 'Pal-lan' created by "Hunter".
Rating: 4
Story of 'Hunter':
He comes as an innocent fellow. He will smile at the 'prey'. If prey responds it is chosen. He wouldn't hunt immediately. He will put the trap without the prey realising it. During this process he will entertain the 'prey' with stories of other(only bad things) people. After sometime he will say good things about the prey. If the 'prey' falls for the bait he will attack. If the attack is unsuccessful he will move on to the next prey. He will bitch about the old prey to the new one to make sure she doesn't spoil the next hunt. Recently there are rumors that he has targeted someone *.

For those who missed guest lecture:
Today's guest lecture was a fun filled experience :).The speaker Mr. Vijay Kumar was a alumnus of LIBA. Guest lecture started off with an 'exiting' game which had a 'E-series Nokia' 'used' phone as prize. Only one contestant. The game was a total improvisation. Unfortunately there was no winner as the game was to give out a message 'Expect the unexpected'. :) :)

Event:
Convocation for 07-09 batch of LIBA is going to be on 31st October. Its going to be held in bethram hall,loyola campus.

Have you ever searched your name on internet? + Servite pet boy's asha nivas affair

Rating : 4 1/2

Is truth ugly?

Section starts today....with a bang!!!Have you ever checked your name in the internet? If you have not I have...he he...Today I found one aspiring actor asking for chance. (Check the picture above..:)) Hope he gets a chance soon..Dude if you want to approach that actor go to thiruvanmiyur beach. He comes for jogging there. But dont post a reply to a post after 3 years. he he...I agree you have lot of talents. Wish your dream come true.

Clarification:

This happened long back. But I want to clear the air about the innocence of the servite's pet boy. There had been many missed calls from his mobile to a girl in asha nivas late in the night. God knows what all assumption were made. The truth is that his friends did it. They themselves confessed about it recently. So people before judging anyone know the truth. :)

Gossip Column( By Reporter Cutey):

There has been a report that few senior people got committed recently(few months back) outside LIBA. As I have work now..will continue this tomorrow.....wait for it....

World News:

If you have a business plan/big event in mind and aiming of bringing a VVIP to launch it..think again. You might be able to achieve the same response through a innovative way. Microsoft launches its windows 7 through Asian child, Kylie who is featuring in its "Look how easy it is, a child can do it" windows 7 commercial. If you are a management student try not to follow trend. Break from the clutter and you might be successful.

Gossip Column:

Today a funny thing happened..the silent assassin himself came and asked me "Who is this silent assassin?" I couldn't say anything. He kept the assassinating smile throughout the conversation. He hardly speaks. Even if he does it will be way too intellectual for any other normal being to understand(Just kidding). He is a nice guy. He means no harm to anyone. You will enjoy working with him in a team.Relationship status: Committed and not looking for other options. :)

I am thinking of bringing in a new column named "Is truth ugly?" inspired by the movie "Ugly truth". Let me discuss about this with our reporters and get some readers response before launching it.

Enigmatic silent assasin Episode 2? How secured your data is?

Rating: 2 1/2 out of 5

I had been to a service center in spencers plaza for one of my friends laptop repair. The shop keeper asked him to leave the computer for one day. Before handing over the computer I asked my friend "Did you delete the personal data in the laptop"?. He said 'No'. Is it important to delete data/hide using advanced software before giving it to a stranger? !!!!...As long as the servicing guy is your friend you can expose your personal data to him.Otherwise... It can me misused. Also if you people think that when you press Shift + delete all the data will be deleted...you are wrong..those data can be retrieved any time..:)...Its better not to store very sensitive info(You know what I mean) in your comp/lap which is connected to internet.

Events:
This time again about insight..behind the screen...one of the main guy is roaming around the Loyola campus at 10:30 in the night..to get speakers....he he....I hope his hard work pays off.....but it seems so 'different'.I thought there was a ghost standing in the dark with a phone...:)

Gossip Column:
Silent assassin gets his name from the way he walks and the way he does any activity. He talks with a assassinating smile, he is in second year, he stays in A floor in LIBA hostel....He has taken finance & Marketing as his specialization. More info in the next blog.....
