sunscreen advise to those in final year in college.

• Value City Pulse, you will soon find out that there are more expensive, less comfortable and more distant places to bear a bollywood flick.
• Value Mannu and Daddu, they are your best friend, especially of those with late night appetites.
• Value your open air theatre, its no fun to see Yuvraj hit six sixes on a twenty one inch box and that too alone.
• Value your neighbouring room, even if it has a stinky occupant who likes Himesh Reshammiya, soon you will have far more unbearable characters in your life.
• Value the library, soon all your reading material will limit to sleazy pages of the morning newspapers.
• Value your playing field, semi-clad sweating jogging chicks can attract you to jog on the roads but at the end of the day your knees will hurt like crap.
• Value Sardar Kebab junction, just take my word for this one, if Gods ate, theyd eat his butter chicken and momos.
• Value the galla, the brightest, smartest and most intellectual discussions of your life are over once you are out of college.
• Value your instructors, soon you will encounter some waste of human organs instructing you.
• Value E-FJunction, soon you will understand that cafes and pubs are as good for hanging out as a toilet seat is for tap dancing.
  
• Value corridor cricket, it is, was and will always be the zenith of human endurance.
• Value mafia, your professional life will depend upon the skills you gain from it.
• Value your LAN, soon you will have a limited collection of hundred odd films and a two hundred GB harddisk ! yes you will.
• Value your labs, soon you will start spending nights in front of the computer at a desk, for someone else.
• Value your room mate, soon you may end up with a Karmic Healing freak.

Finally!

Yes!!

Awesome!!!

Ok, alright it's not that big deal, but just that you know I got my DA-IICT email forwarding enabled now.

All my DA-IICT emails are now automatically forwarded to my GMail ID now.. which is kinda nice as DAIICT gives us only 5MB Inbox.

That's all folks from my side.

Note: Not many people are active here, so it kinds of defeats the purpose of the blog. I want to test few things

1. Do anyone looks at the blog at all !
2. Is anyone interested in blogging here at all !

I'll put up a poll soon.

Have fun

Abhishek aka DarK

EDIT : for people who wanted to know how I got it done

I mailed the sysadmin [at] daiict about 6 times to setup a forwarding to my GMail.

Chennai Mathematical Institute

Hi,
After a week I have internet access again. I think most of us can imagine how it feels like. Well for most of us who care and don't know yet I am now in CMI eating south Indian food, reading for a change(not anymore, now i have internet access). The college is small, even compared to DA-IICT. CMI houses only 100+ students and the campus is in an upcoming area, which is a dump as of now. We don't get anything here, you need to go to Chennai for most things, and ermm... that's all for now will update you guys later about the place, once the lectures start.

PS : Are all Infosys ppl joining on 28th August @ Mysore?

Hello all...

Seems like old days to be among fellow DA-IICTians and blog. I am Naresh, from the Class of 2006. Still into the post DA-IICT Syndrome, I was itching to write somewhere completely dedicated to DA-IICT. Thank god, I found this place!

If you were wondering what the Post DA-IICT Syndrome is, it is just missing DA-IICT. While we were at DA-IICT, though most of us liked the place, we never sang paeans of it. But once we left it, we realise what all are so unique about DA-IICT. There's no place like our college, people... I envy all of you who are there now, having a time of your life... Enjoyyy!

Here are some nostalgic posts by my friends about our college:
