Censory Perception

The point of speaking out without sanction from aforementioned stalWarts is simple. Our college operates just like the government agencies in China, Iran, etc. that control or restrict information – if no one speaks about it people won’t think it exists and hence everything will seem fine and dandy. I’m quite certain their proxy servers are sourced from the same fine nations quoted above.

Well it isn’t; you know it, I know it and they know it – and I felt it was time to do something at the very least. A leading (non)periodical distributed in the campus claims to be looking for people ready to “Speak fearlessly, be part of the renaissance and ‘proove’ that the pen is mightier than the sword”. Who’s sword? And it’s prove not proove. Well if you are planning to apply for a post at this haven of ochre journalism I hope you know you’ll have to toe the line. Why? Cause the big daddy (an expert very visible at said bjjngr pan-wallah) on top of it all is quite capable of replacing Sharmila Tagore as censor board chief – write about our shitty admissions process or abysmal placement scenario (I was amazed at the way EO turned that around they should apply to become Bush’s spin-doctors) and your bound to get either fired or the whole operation shut down.

So I can’t really blame the word wizards at The Red Herring publication – it’s the system again. Would it improve if we paid a couple of rupees for a copy and took it out of the institutes finance? Maybe, but it would sadly, have to become anonymous and you already have me for that - don’t you?

These articles are here for you to think and hopefully, to bring you to act and make this institution better than it is. Feedback is appreciated and hence the address below. Vandalising the postings and adding comments, more so.

Vapours and Fumes

You know what ticks me off – the fact that although we’re the legal age to vote our hypocrite prof’s still feel the need to tell us what we can and can do with our lives. I write this with a hostel resident point of view.

If they catch us smoking, drinking, etc. they have no qualms in ‘taking action against such despicable acts’. But I ask you to keep a close watch on the counter of a particular pan-wallah right outside bjjngr gate – I have personally seen quite a few of these sentinels savoring the same fumes they seek to extinguish within our lovely (sic) campus.

Another bunch of these same stalWarts can be seen vnit’s true hangout – PP’s garage pub (“Eye’s Only” get your facts right, a few people posing with ice creams doesn’t change the truth) – as testified by erstwhile students of ECE.

So whether it’s boozing or closing computer rooms for porn while ogling examples of divine beauty in class (I may be exaggerating the divine part), our experts just can’t seem to face the facts – the more you ban something the more we’re driven to get a way around it – Orkut’s a fine example.

That’s not to say that all our teachers are fakes, even coal mines yield diamonds sometimes. Students aren’t much better either – in fact we’re worse in some ways…..
