Couple Special + News + Rumors + Gossips

On 'popular' demand, [ahem ahem!] Pandora is back with news! :)

Couples, some were made and some were kaput during internships. The effects were seen after the senies were back from interns. Reasons? Well, some may have just realized being single works better. Or someone else.

Dr. Love found that the blue legged lady of past and her guy are still going strong contrary to many speculations. The representative couple, have been too, if not closer. BTW, a certain 'Jacton' celebrated budday some days back.

This was supposedly a couple special. And pics were approved by some of them. But not all were comfortable with sharing pics. So, here goes the pics of those who are ready for public appearance and a mention of those who are not.

The Tall one and Patt.

JJ

The important committee head and Andrea

The sleepy headed guy was not sure if he had a gal friend. The silent tamilian couple was uncomfy about putting the pic in. So were the representative couple. The phoenix bird decided not to spill the beans now. And the one with a royal bike decided to remain subtle about it. So much for couples in  the senie batch!

Guess who did that^! I heard a precious stone scream right after it broke and fell.

Insight ball is already rolling. A past speaker’s niece is heading it this time. This time the ball has been handed over by the professor with insight earlier than usual.

A wolf’s pack made another wolf’s pack perform at spring last week. The sleepy headed guy after all used his head. Sources told me that the ascent was pretty good.

Junies have given up with signatures already. Two days and they have lost enthu. Btw guys, if you expect us to give signature on the 11^th hour, you are not receiving any! Mind it! And yes, please make sure you at least know the name of the person when you approach a senie for signature.
I also was informed that a prof lamented that the junies do not have the ‘spring in their steps’. Junies, are you listening? Say your say!

Incidentally, junies make sure you grab your buddies from senies soon. Or all the good ones will soon be taken! This reminds Pandora of the ball in the fourth year of the harry potter series.

Committees and clubs are already interviewing peoples of the junies of the LIBA. The important committee this time had 3 rounds, the last round being on Monday. Also a mention of the slow down in the economy on day one has brought down the morale of a chunk of senies. And junies, make sure you make the most in LIBA and the clubs here.

The new gals abode has a lot of fun ‘Just like that!’. At the expense of [in a way] of the junies. At night, when it rains, rain dances happen ‘just like that!’ Ah! Pandora loves informing the tradition in forming!

The major course revamp has given scope for adventure. Literally. They also have one subject more each sem. The scare of an oral exam [not dental] adds to the load. Sources informed me it will include all portions from the first and second year. And you cannot appear for finals without crossing the orals.

Some junie gals came inquiring to the senie gals about senie guys who are 'eye candies'. Eye candies? Really? Guys beware! :P

A couple in super senies, a down to earth couple who never made much of a fuss while at college, are ready for the alaypayude fuss. Dr. Love wishes them good luck and hopes everything turns out well.

Incidentally, no form of bribing except grades will work if you dont want me to write about you on Pandora's. :P Many people approached the writer asking if they could be left out of news this year. So far, No way! :P Also some were eagerly asking when would the writer write about herself. Well, guest posts are welcome! After proper checks, they will be published. :)

Till Next Post!

Love,

Pandora :)

A Quick Note

IPO + Junie News + Girls Hostel + Gossips

Our IPO has been interviewed by the Indian Express and the four of them are already celebs and viral on FB. Article attached for those who have not seen it yet. 

Meanwhile, I also heard the senie 'trainer guru' has gotten his successor for the post "trainer guru" from the F10 batch. Speculations on who is the next one, end up on some six packs. ;) It was reported that already 5 people have 'enrolled' for the training. Junies, here is your chance and guru. Make sure you use it well. ;)

The junies will arrive by June 5th and get settled in the hostels by the time we senies reach. Both the batches are getting to know each other at Facebook and chats.
Incidentally, one of the junies had a doubt regarding "what to call our profs". The junie's options ranged from names [oops!] to mams/sirs. But I also heard he has tasks waiting for him on account of this. :D

A lot of thoughts about switching specializations are running around in the minds of the interns. From 'Duals to cores', to complete changes of streams. Apparently, this happens every year after internships.
Some 'interns' are using the internship time to get ahead in their enterprising skills. Something keeps buzzing in the ear all the time.

Sources told me that the new girls' hostel has an "in time", "SILENCE time" and a strong wall + iron gate. And we all thought Servite was worse! Girls, hope for a hostel warden with some human element. Having Loyola girls as 'hostel mates' was not completely unexpected. Or was it?

A little scope for thought before signing off aka Gossips -> The super senie girl, with the name of a nut stays at the boys hostel till 8 in the evening 'TT-ing'. TTing or missing someone special? ;) Who knows!

Also the 'Golden couple' from super senies, was seen exchanging courtesies on FB. Are they not in touch otherwise? After 10 comments on 'why here', there was a reply that sounded like "am here. just the same and no searching of anybody :) :)" Is everything alright? :?

Are our Junies really having a welcome party all for themselves?


Till Next Post,
Pandora

Maiden Post From the Junie

First of all, Thanks Chaitik for passing over this legacy to me to continue bugging our LIBAites with.:) It was and is still fun learning how to write in here from you Chaitik! :)

Hello everyone from the 'first years', the soon to be the Seniors!
I am the Junie Blogger and taking over from him from here. It is amusing how just yesterday we the 'first years' came into LIBA and today we are already doing our interns all over India and waiting for the juniors to arrive. Was just a yesterday we all introduced ourselves to each other over and over again till names stuck. Hope all you out there are having fun doing your interns, wherever you are. I am glad I was chosen to do this. Hope I do justice to this.


Now, my small "Terms And Conditions"

1. Gossips are Gossips. They are either widely talked about or widely whispered about. They are not the secrets you tell me. If you still dont get why your story is here, it is because it is talked about.

2. I am looking out for stories all the time. So, if you have something, mail it across to juniorpandoras at gmail dot com or just tell me in person. Your identity is safe with me. But I will make sure your story is right before I publish it.

3. Pics that tell a story are always welcome. Send them to me and they will be on. It could be anything from an outing with your own gang or a funny moment or anything amusing that brings a smile on faces.

4. Personally I am not much of a gossipper. So, that defect will always be seen. So, please bear with it.

5. Take the posts here in that spirit. Dont take any of it personally. And it is NOT my personal view about things.

Well, as many might have guessed already and many know, it is me Jyotsna, [Jo] who has been penning as the Junie Blogger anon under Chaitik's guidance. I hope to bring in a bunch of memories like he did that you could cherish once you go out of LIBA and leaf back through this 'unofficial official blog' of our college. [ Or is it now the 'official unofficial blog'?? ]
Hope you enjoy the posts at Pandora's...

This is Jo ready to take you through a year of gossips and news and fun [Hopefully!]
Signing in,
The Junie Blogger henceforth the Pandora. :)

Day 0 + Signoff post!

Day 0 - I sign off!

We won! we won! We won! For Sachin and for India (After all superpower Rajnikanth blessed the match with his presence)

I was meaning to write this post on the last day, but the goodbyes and the travel and the match made sure that this post is posted from Mumbai!

One year has passed and I realized I gossiped more than any girl in LIBA. What an achievement ;)

As I write this post, a plethora of memories flood my mind with 2 yrs of sheer madness. Unknowingly, this blog became one of my closest memories in life@LIBA. It was fun to write every post on this blog. Thanks to my "secret reporters and spies" who fed me with news from every corner of the 'world'. But the real secret of the gossips has been that a huge part of it came from the readers of the blog itself. Since many gossips were too personal to be featured on the blog, they had to be filtered out. Will never forget the fun in playing around with the names of real characters at LIBA.

Apart from gossips, am proud that Pandoras Box - "the unofficial blog" became one of the faces of LIBA to the outside world as well as a medium for the seniors to stay connected with life@LIBA :)

Not keeping this too long, thank you everyone for encouraging me and double thank you for being their sporty best when featured in the gossip sections of the blog.

About the new author, I would like to say that there would not be a better suited person for Pandoras Box. Most of you might have already guessed the author's identity by now. Am sure the Junie blogger will keep up with the legacy! All the best! :)

Lastly, I hope that someday after LIBA when you open this blog, the posts will serve as a flashback of our glorious days.

Here is wishing you all the best with all your future endeavors. Stay Happy, stay healthy and keep gossiping ;)

Signing off as the author of Pandoras Box, it was a privilege to be Mr. Pandoras and Dr. Love!

Regards, Chaitik

Day 4 from the Junie Blogger

Day 4

A small update from the Junie Blogger

The US president's lookalike is hanging out 25*7 with the precious stone girl. Solitary walks and everything. Making the most of the last days at LIBA. My spies were eager to tell me about this.

Two 'single kids of parents' have been seen together from Beacon times. They were seen together almost always but Farewell was the time when they confirmed they are not going to leave each other's hands. Literally. Symbolically? Go figure!

Exams going on and all the First years are looking forward to the silver lining they see approaching by 31st.

The Junie also came across 2-3 Entrepreneurs from the first year. Inspiring!! One of them has already got people working for him. [More details soon!] The other is on the way to patent her products and I heard talks for large scale production are going on. She was also one of the reasons the first years had to sit through the "IPR" classes of USR.

Procrastinated a 1000 times, now the 'hostel allotment ceremony' will be held only in June. The fear most first year girls [soon to be second years] have is that the 'soon to be first years' will be alloted the good rooms before we return from internships. Right now, all we get is a big room to keep our stuff and leave for interns.

Summers have achieved 100% placements and the vital committee members were seen congratulating each other.

The D-Effect theory seems to be a hit among first years. But the effect on this batch will be confirmed only after the interns.

The Yearbook 2009-11 distribution has finally started and from what I hear, it has lived upto the expectations! People are just loving it. Hats off to the hard work put by Nikhil and the Yearbook team. That surely required some selfless efforts :)

From the Hidden Treasure (This time not exactly hidden treasure)

LIBA Theory + Farewell + Yearbook

Day 7

Am starting today's post with theory that has been developed by the great Bartender turned Rockstar turned Bartender turned Director turned Bartender turned MBA grad :P

The theory is named the D-Effect theory (by the inventor himself)

This theory is applicable to all 240 full time students of LIBA.

It says that cupid strikes 3 times during the entire 2yr duration of an average love inclined soul at LIBA.

1. 1st Term
2. 3rd Term (with summer internship extension)
3. 6th Term

There are a lot of facts and figures to support these claims. Pick up any "We are just friends" around you and they are more likely to fit into one of these categories.

Disclaimer: The above time frames hold true only for the first sparks that fly between the cupid struck. The love might intensify or get realized or get declared in public later.

Dr.Love says "Good news for the 1st years: If you have missed the 1st term strike, don't loose heart. The 3rd term summer extension and the 6th Term will make sure everyone is happy!" :)

And the reason this theory has been put up on this blog is because of the credibility and the experience of the inventor on the soils of LIBA.

P.S. For any queries or counselling please contact the inventor of this theory :)

The Farewell

The farewell for the great batch of 2009-11 was on Sunday, 20th March. It was one hell of a show! The grand red carpet entrance made sure the mood was set for the evening. The original I.P.O. performed for the last time and made sure it set the hearts thumping and the audience jumping.

And yes, the nariyal awards were a hit amongst everyone for the sheer 'uncovering the hidden stories' act :D

Lastly, it all ended with Ms.LIBA and Mr.LIBA awards that were given away to Lis and 'yours truly'! :)

I would like to end this note by thanking the juniors on behalf of all the seniors for giving the awesome farewell and most importantly the time that we all would cherish for a long time now. Thank you! :)

The Yearbook update

To all those eager souls, the yearbook distribution would start from tuesday. Here's a sneak peek at the cover page of the yearbook. Enjoy!

Am ending this post with the world cup fever. Its all around and everyone is set for one of the greatest battles on the field - India vs Pakistan. What better way to end the year! Many of us have an exam on 30th from 3-5. God bless the prof in correcting those papers :) Goodnight!
