Note:Its been close to 10 months,since the first and also massive bunk,of GITAM University Hyderabad.
The memory of this bunk,probably lies buried deep inside various students of GITAM ,some of you weren’t part of GITAM University Hyderabad,just yet,and some were probably astonished to see the classrooms nearly empty on their first day.
The blog’s memory,of the maghadeera bunk,is pretty vague to,but nevertheless we have pooled in all we know about that bunk,to make this post possible.
INTRODUCTION:
The first canteen management was a notorious one ,it was more into students affairs rather than its main objective of providing quality food ,the one particular incident which lead to the fall of the first canteen is known on campus as the maghadeera bunk ,the canteen manager virtually arranged the tickets for the bunking lot,and also provided “logistic” support,Which irked the management to the core!
Rear View:
This Blogzine was non-existent during the first semester,and hence we have no old post to link too,and hence we decide to recollect the adventures of Maghadeera,for the sake our our new readers,ala,the juniors,Vizag gitamites,and non-gitamites.
Here follows a brief introduction to the Maghadeera effect on campus,Click here for a briefer note on the mass bunk,Click Me.
THE ADVENTURE:
On the morning of 31st,August,2010 it was unanimously decided to have a mass bunk,albeit the only one of its kind,and never again to repeat again in the history of GITAM University Hyderabad.
During the first semester the University used to run private buses for the students unlike the current college buses.
And the drivers of these buses used to be extremely cooperative,and hence the students ended up using their services like stopping the bus at any point they like,while on the way to campus in order to bunk,this was the norm during the first month of functioning.
August being the second month,most of the students used to get along well with everyone,they hardly had any difference,and this actually played a pivotal role in the success of the mass bunk.
The college,used to hire/operate 3-4 odd private buses,and the the LB nagar bus students got down at lakadavaram(2km from Rudraram),while a virtually empty bus arrived on campus :P
The narayanguda/Ameerpet/kukatpally bus students on the other hand were in a dilemma whether to bunk or to visit the campus,and hence the buses arrived half filled on campus,with the ECIL bus coming in the same situation,The management was aware of this bunk to hence their bus,the separate faculty bus was constantly tailing the students buses,but at the end of the day,the students won it out right!
The initial tactic of letting the morfus over take the students buses failed,as the faculty made sure they formed the rearguard of the motorcade,rather “buscade”,so the students encouraged the drivers to burn more rubber !!
And the morfus couldn't catch up,the student buses were quick and reached the campus a healthy 10 mins prior to the morfus,and this made all the difference on that day in those 10 mins alone close to 40% of the students from ECIL/Narayanaguda route(Included Ameerpet/kukatpally-They were not separate during that time),in those valuable 10 mins,most of the students moved into the Rudraram streets,and flooded the streets,waiting,waiting for the morfus to enter the campus so that they can head back to the camp,in Doven County.
And the morfus finally arrived,once the Morfus entered the campus,the students flooded the main road of Rudraram,and packed off in various sharing autos and buses to doven county.
(Morfus pictures coming soon)
WHY THE TAILING ?
You see the management got a wink of the planned mass bunk,spearheaded by EEE/CSE ,which registered the lowest strength on that day,followed by IT and ECE,find itself at the last place,in terms of students participation.
The major reason for the managements concern over this bunk were :
- A high profile,visit by the Vizag campus management,rumoured to have included M.V.V.S. Murthy!!(Who is he ? The founder!!)
- Maghadeera was a long awaited movie,and most of the students were movie buffs,the management tried to stop the mass bunk.
The plan of the show was hampered by various reasons,the show was initially projected to have taken place at 11:00 am,but since the theatre was a brand new one(it was the opening ceremony),the timeline of the movie conveniently pushed up and up and finally landed up at 14:00 hrs(odd).
The price was 50 rs per ticket,which was not at all a bad deal,actually some tickets sold were worth only 10 rs :P.
Slowly most of the crowd started disintegrating due to the extending timeline of the show,and finally the number of people who ended up for watching the movie was touted to be about 50 students.
But the initial crowd which came over to Doven County(Doven County township,lakadavaram:the epic centre of the bunk,two houses here were rented out to the canteen manager,and the students made it their base),there was everything there to please all the bad guys and good guys alive,some of the activities included,Cricket!,and everything else naught and nice things boys do when they get together. (Perverted Heads,its surely not what you think!!!!)
Later at about 1:30 odd,the students started moving over to Isnapur(4 km from lakadavaram,6 from Rudraram),the place where the movie was being screened.
TRANSPORT:
Some had to walk,some took sharing autos,others were riding “tricky” on the canteen bikes :D
THE SHOW:
Only one word,can define the experience of being in a brand new theatre with close to 50 odd gitamites,Awesome!
The only thing which probably put the students in a tight spot was reaching home,some students reached home as late as 9:30 !!
CONSEQUENCES :
Obviously,with close to 60-80% of the campus being empty,the management couldn’t be dormant.
Even thought only 40-50% were present in Doven county,there were various other small break off groups,which headed over to Imax,PVR,Talkie town,and where not!
And,hence the attendance for that day was about 20%,the management decide to take a “tough” stand against the students,and it ended up not sticking to its “tough stand”,which kind of made the management look brittle.
The management failed to take action due to the huge response to the bunk,obviously calling up 80% students parents is an uphill task,and may be that was the reason the management decided to let the students go free,yes obvious things like letter from your parents Blah Blah did take place,but that was it.
And we at the Blog,are pretty sure,that such kind of a mass bunk,will not be possible in the near future,due to the various cracks which have appeared in the various branches,and branches themselves.
Regards,
P.S.if there is one thing/group which can make another massive bunk possible,it has got to be LAGH ! :P
Dear admin i do realise you have been under presure but the posts you are makin are more towars crap thn tht makes sense you certain posts were like from sum childs textbook
ReplyDeleteFrom the admin's desk:
ReplyDeleteThank you for it,but our major role is to record the events of GITAM university Hyderabad(GITAM Student portal,gitam 360° are spin off's from the LAGH stable),and the students daily experience,I cant,but help report events which may look like I quote "Sum childs textbook".
Another quote to appease you
"Blogging/Journalism like everything thing good in this world isn't perfect, Cynicism on the other hand , always is "
based on the actual quote "But, yes, marriage, like everything good
and important, isn't easy.
Cynicism, on the other hand,
always is.",from 27,dresses.(katherine heigl)
p.s.We cant always satisfy the whims of a specific person, personally I felt obliged to have covered the maghadeera bunk.(It deserved the space,due to some specific reasons)
And on a serious note,I personally believe that an anon post is worth rubbish(You seek to hide behind the anonymous veil ! ),but still I will look into the post and see if it needs any over hauling(personally,your comments would have carried more weight had it been under your real name )
Cause a similar an anonymous user,said something similar to this to the Fire safety article,(shiver me timbers !!),And have a look at the Fire safety article,and decide if it needed such comments. :)
