TATHVA IN ITS FULL THROTTLE

After days and months of waiting TATHVA has started.
its the realization of hundreds of people working together for more than three months.
The preparations had begun way back in may .
After deciding the problem statements then the question was about how to carry out everything.
But with the immense support from the fourth years and the commitment from the second and first years it was all easy.

This year the participation has almost doubled.Even though the unexpected rain is a little problem people find their way under the umbrella making sure that they are reaching their event spot at the right time.

I was assigned to work with the registration committee.
Most important section of any event.
We were always busy with the registration with participants coming from various parts of the country around the clock.
We have to add the information about them in the database and then have to issue their id card with which they can participate in any of the events conducted.
And the work is now going smoothly..............................

is exam changing our life style?

You mite be wondering at this question.
But its a question concerning all those who are students.
Until before the exam all are free, leading their own happy days,
but its suddenly changing once the exam starts.
The person who is at the forefront of making fun too would sit quietly sit in front of a book and reads.
We cant think of anything else during these days than study because of fear of failing in exam.

Should we change our life style during the exam days?
In my opinion, go according to how you have been doing these days,unless you are not in the least prepared for it .

To cope up with this scenario my advice is to spent everyday with the lessons and it leaves a little work left to you afterward.

For the past one week i couldnt do anything except studying for the exams and now its a pleasure to sit simply without thinking of anything to study

And now its time for me to do some extra works other than curriculum stuff.
Thats all for now..................................

about today

This day was not so eventful
as regular woke up at 7.00 in the morning
as our teacher had gone home first hour was free
then computational combinatorics was a two hour consecutive class our teacher made us do many problems
it was anyway useful getting acquinted with different types of problems
then it was electronics
to say truth it was first time in this course that i slept in the class
i often thought how students sleep without knowing themselves
while sleeping i drew something on the note
hihihii
i dont know whether sir noticed me sleeping in the class

and afternoon was free for our batch students
then i started sitting in front of the computer once again today
did two of the assignments
this was the first time i was troubled by the so called 'segmentation fault'
though it was a simple problem it took me quite a long time to figure out the error
it was implementation of insertion sort using a doubly linked list

so i have two more questions left to do
once is the famous towers of hanoi program and the other one is
displaying all the possible permutation of a string given by the user

not thinking to copy down the code from the net
but i will just go through the algorithm
so bye for the time being
good evening

tathva padwork

Tathva is the annual technomanagement festival of our college(NIT Calicut)
there is this kind of pad work preparation for the tathva
manly the work is for club mathematica one of the clubs
and this year the nature club as well as the civil engineering department is gonna have their stalls for the fest
so yeaterday me too had gone for the padwork
we second years mainly go there for making the juniors do the work
and also a little ragging in the midst
it was a chance to meet these juniors and get acquinted with them
i did not do any ragging , but was watching them
some of us made them play cricket
not the one with bat and ball
we made them assume that they have bat and ball and play
and it was fun watching them playing
as today is Gandhi Jayanti
we asked them to give a speech about Gandhiji
and we troubled them in between their speech
it was really a fun

about first year

firsts year was a busy year
coming to the college as a fresher
was initially afraid of all the seniors
i only new three of them here
one from the second year
one from the third year
and another one from the fourth year
all these seniors were kind and lovely
the first few weeks or rather one month was like a hell

locked up in the hostel as if we were prisoners
wherever we go there would be these securities to accompany us as the facaulty feared we would be ragged by our seniors
but to say the truth these measures dint refrain the seniors from ragging as
they found quite a lot ways to pick us on our way back from the class rooms or rather coming to the class to give us assignments

i remember two seniors coming to the class to give assignments which they ought to submit
they say that they too had to do all these during their first year
should it stand a reason to burden the juniors with their work??
hahahahaha
i wondered why the seniors behave like this
but now i can say(being in second year) what pleasure they get in giving the juniors these assignments

starting continued

i am now doing b tech in computer science and engineering here at nit calicut
lot delighted to say that i am an nitian
thanks to god for all his grace
if it was not him i would not have reached here

computer science is a cool branch
study load is pretty low if you listen well in the class as the core subjects are all related to logic
so if you listen well in the class there is a little left to you for working in the hostel
(which i never do these days)
always think of studying something but never get my mind to do it nowadays
as i have computer with me and internet is available all through the day
