Money matters


MONEY MATTERS!!??

DAY: 20/1/11
Boys Hostel

Battle lines were drawn in the hostel again.. This time for the sudden increase in the bill by Rs. 748. The earlier displayed bill was a bit less than the average of the previous months and the hostelers were very happy on seeing this.. Most of them saw this as an opportunity to get some unaccounted money from their parents. All the plans were shattered when on Thursday a new bill was put up with an increase by Rs. 748 under the heading contingency charges. WTF!!??

Hostelers were seen standing in front of the notice board and even swarming the office bombarding the poor accountant guy with queries and demands to see the statement for the month.. I personally went and checked the statement after getting permission from Pathrudu Sir (god bless that man). Well here is the deal.. Apparently the older bill had been made by omitting the charges for water, electricity, house keeping and mess workers' salaries.

WHO THE HELL MADE THE BILL...??? WAS HE DRUNK??

Then one fine day they realize that all these things have to be added.. So up the fees goes after adding the contingency charges and down the levels of contentment amongst the students..!

A few more points to be noted are:

  • The demand for the house keeping should be included in the 2000 bucks they take as "room rent". I mean they don't even open the rooms and clean them..!! Why the hell are they paid Rs. 90,000 (approximate) per month for it.
  • A student should be on leave for at least 5 days for the mess bill to be deducted. (This is okay). Here is the nonsense part: If a student goes on leave for 15 days then the mess bill will be cut for 15-3=12 days.. !! Now that is plain bullshit.. Why the hell do we have to pay for 3 extra days when we aren't staying and eating in the hostel. When asked for an explanation they say it is a "rule" follow it.. Yeah right.. Tomorrow you come up with a rule that go to the toiled once in 3 days.. and you expect us to follow that..?? :D
  • A student will not be charged only for the mess, when on leave. He will have to pay the rent, housekeeping, water, electricity etc. even then..!! Huh?

The demand for the members of the so called committee to be elected and not selected is still lying in the dust.. !!

God knows what they will come up in the upcoming days..

LAGH's reply:

 Please go through the following pictures of the notices(to be uploaded tonight),the management has put up on the hostel notice board giving all the parameters,and the method of calculating the bill.
  • The excess of the ~800 rs has been due to a calculation error.
  • We accept with the authors view,that the 3 days rule is kind of absurd as pointed out(Leave for 10 days,they will deduct only for 7 days)
  • The third point is really Childish,be logical,they can cut the mess bill,but it is way to much to ask them to reduce the water bill,electricity bill for the days you are not present on campus,put a lil brain into it and you will end up seeing the light,this is how things will have to work,if you want your suggestions to be implemented.

The LAGH team.

DAY:21/01/2011: To ma'am with love :)

DAY:21/01/2011:

What looked like a pleasant day,turned out to be more than that,lets get rolling right from the beginning.

The weather around the city(and the village :P),has been warmer than it was this season,we couldn't hazard a guess that we would hardly have any time to enjoy this weather.

Everyone was busy wondering why the weather has gone so nice,all of a sudden,little did we know that a political storm was overlooking the campus of gitam university,with the seniors,juniors,and the faculty aiming guns at each other,ready to fight for their equal rights in organizing or rather ripping the science fair apart :P.

JUNIORS:

Lets cover the fair and the large number of controversies as the way juniors see it,first the selection of the commitie was under the wraps for most part of it,and it was being spearheaded by a particular section of juniors,with the support of Madhrui ma'am,out of the 25 members,only 8 odd students were being dominant,and the rest of the voices were virtually unheard of,as the saying goes a "voice not heard,is a voice not spoken",well what happens when no one gives a f**k to what you are saying ?

You get pissed and start looking at other ways to pull the dominant asses down,and how do you do it ,when the the people responsible,are not willing to hear anything against their "gem" students ?
Well,take a pot luck and approach the seniors :)

Did it work ?

Initially it did work to an extent ,but it a pathetic situation going on right now,as the seniors were not officially informed of the Science Fest,every other senior,who had some kind of a political clout in the campus started pulling strings and reprimanding their juniors,since the seniors were kept in the dark about the fair/fest,they got re pissed and it was visible on their faces,after all how would we juniors feel if we were in their place ?

Cheated.


And then there were the others in the committee who were trying hard to make a make and rescue the fair/fest from the brinks of the abyss,but they have hardly been successful,at least they know that someone is listening to all their problems,and trying to make a difference.(We don't crib,We do!).

They we believe are the true members,who ought to be in the committee.

The way we see it,given the freedom, people in that 25 member committee can do marvels,not all but at least 50%,as some are our very classmates,and we know their potential.

Seniors:

Well,trouble trouble and trouble,the seniors were basically perturb due to the capricious behavior of the juniors,and rightly so,having hardly any scope to explore their bounds,and being nip in the bud,due to their initial strike(in the month of August we believe),except for many demands most of them have been lying in the dirt,still unsolved,for further details please visit the blog :reallifeatgitamhyd.blogspot.com,which covered those two days of protests made by the seniors.

Most of the junior faculty(those who joined work in the last 6 months),simply pushed away the fact that there were other beings present on the campus called "Seniors",who We must admit underwent a lot of hardships,and we juniors are not going to take away any due credit from them,we being the students of the second batch ,ourselves are under going psychologically hardships,given the facts that the campus is barely 2 yr s old,So keeping the egos aside for a while,we decided to close our eyes and imagine how the situation was exactly 1 yr ago,when the campus was new,new as in brand new.
We spoke to some seniors,to give us an idea as to how GITAM was initially and here are the quick facts:
  • No proper transportation for first 6 months(private buses,which used to keep failing all the time)
  • No labs for close to two months.
  • No working canteen,(they used to buy food from a nearby mess in rudraram and get them to the campus)
  • The second sem,for a month or so,there wasn't any canteen.
  • The library was hardly sufficient.
  • Construction work all around,and loads of disturbance(it used to be more like a construction area than an educational institution,the management lacked proper planning,says a senior).
Being in their shoes itself scares the shit out of us,imaging how they must be feeling,having been neglected entirely by the new faculty,gives quite some shivers.
And the course of the cursed set of events that followed are spreading like wildfire,for the record lets build a constructive timeline of the events:

Monday:
  • The list of the organizing committee starts to take shape.
Tuesday:
  • The list is approved by the director,but no reference has been made about the seniors.
  • Some senior,we refuse to name him, "apparently" threatened ,madhuri ma'am that he would complain/report her to the director Blah Blah,if she doesn't involve seniors.
  • Other seniors start,calling their juniors,asking them to explain their actions.
Wednesday:
  • Things start moving,with the organizing committee putting the drafts for the financial support required.
  • The initial ground work starts,and the rumored name is technytes.
  • The banners/drop downs preparation,starts and cracks start appearing within the committee,with respect to the design and dimensions of the banners.
Thursday:

Things go dormant for a while,with respect to the seniors,but the cracks deepen in the organizing committee ,since everyone wants to be a leader,and become the undisputed head of the committee,since all are juniors,their egos come in the way and the path to the fair,is temporarily derailed,the fair/fest looks to be a distant dream.

The hostel gets a new bill today,and the juniors are mostly pissed ,with over 4700/-,monthly bill,more on this later.

Friday:
  • This is when the things seem to be going extremely out of hands,with various juniors showing contempt,not anger towards each other in the committee,anger looks so tame in front of contempt,and once this started spreading,the initial so called squad,was infiltrated by the gods of emotion,no one can stand the bricking,nor can the feeling of contempt got over easily.
  • Then came the bitchy part,people started bitching about each and everyone and everything whether it concerned them or not, the campus was on a bitching frenzy, bickering was the norm of the day.
  • In the morning,apparently some other quarrel brewed up between the concerned faculty,and the seniors.
  • The management then got a wind of the ongoing events,and a quick Seniors meeting was called at 3:45,ECE had a lab session,CSE had a free hour,so they were busy in the ground with sports,EEE had a lab,while the IT seniors took a day off,as they have to prepare for their Industrial tour,which begins tomorrow :).
  • The meeting was apparently unsuccessful,as the concerned faculty,seemed to have vented all her anger on the few seniors who were present,this attitude actually pissed off the rest of the seniors,obviously,those present might not have been aware of the fair,and they need an explanation in that sense,they didn't want to be shouted at and reprimanded,they wanted answers but what,actually precipitated from the meet is that the faculty at least the one person concerned had a dig at the gathering,We quote "Venting off anger on us,barking at us isn't the key,We Need Answers !!"(unquote),complained a senior in rage..
  • What will now follow still remains..

THANK YOU :)

The LAGH team,and all the members associated with it,would like to extended a very big "Thank You" to Prabha ma'am(Prabhavati ma'am,English Department),for recognizing the Blogs(Not actually referring to LAGH,per se),we will put in more effort,and with this post we would like to make a bold statement,of having good standards,and maintaining the "uber-cool" status that we have always had :P

We are back,And LAGH will live on,Who ever thought we were shutting down,think again...

Regards,

Blog Lashing: insufficient/irregular lockers and a/c.

Feeling cool nowadays, NO, isn’t it?? It’s getting hot day by day and so, on behalf of every one we demand the management to provide complete air-conditioning for the floor’s 3 & 4 asap. Yeah, this is a demand coz it was well described in our university brochure that the university is completely air-conditioned. Beware management, you’ve a dead-line before the heat picks up. Donno what they were doing all these days sitting in their rooms and wasting time on thinking how to provide high quality whistle’s to the security guards that’s so insane, why the hell are those guys running behind everyone with those whistle’s, so irritating and so foolish.
And the locker system, so idiotic to share a locker with 3 persons. Donno who is advising these people, god save that guy. Even an average engineering college provides every student with a locker, and ours being a so called university(world’s smallest university, any doubts??) is providing a “share with two” locker system. Point to be noted about the last row, what do they expect from us, we’ve to roll over the floor searching for our articles inside OMG!! that’s so insane, thank god no one took them. Though it’s a sharing system, the funniest part is that they are not sufficient.
Immediate response anticipated!!! NO
Immediate response DEMANDED!!!!

RUMOUR MILL:Reults Scare

Results,results,results…this word’s coming out of some students mouth at the rate of 5 times per minute, Donno why everyone is worried so much about them but the things that disturb them the most are the “rumors”. If u hear the word “results” at the above said rate, I swear the rate of hearing rumors is fare more greater than results. And many persons out there are enjoying these and scaring the shit out of others Smile with tongue out(funny ideas eh??).
Anyways, I’m gonna tell you my personal favorite but mostly this may turn out to be true:
According to the UGC(some kinda university’s regulatory board) rules, the papers of the students of a particular university needs to be corrected by other people also(from other universities), this is the basic point of the rumor. So, when the papers corrected at the vizag campus were sent to Andhra university as per the rules, the verifications varied by a huge rate. And so, the papers are being re-examined at the vizag campus and hence got delayed. Interesting isn’t it??? (Comment your responses on this and do give your versions of the rumors).
DAY:-19/1/11:
Today, the attendance picked up very well and most of the classes were full (but we naughty kids never left our manners Smile with tongue out), but most of them bunked the afternoon session Open-mouthed smile. And there were a bunch of mechanical students campaigning for their SAE colligate club in every class in the afternoon session. Sources say that they got a good response and they’re gonna put up the complete notification on the notice board tomorrow. Rest of the day was calm Smile.
coming up tomorrow: an article full of lashing, get ready to face the wrath management(“crucio Smile with tongue out”)

Padfoot.

DAY 18/1/2011:low attendance,results scare,science fair

From the editor:
Due to the respone generated by the articles of padfoot(aka alba fox),we are seeing an improved number of visitors in the past two days and also the articles are finally trickling in.
thanks padfoot for reviving LAGH.

LOW TURNOUT:

The vacation mood doesn't seem to be leaving the students,juniors as well as seniors have had a very low turnout today too..
after the start of the new semester,we first saw the wave of 'unofficial' holidays take over ,till the end of December.mixed with the results of Sri Krishna report and the Telangana bandh scare.
once January started the vacation mood was still on what with the Sankranthi vacation,even though the seniors got a notice of having only 3 holidays,they later got their way and shared the same number of holidays as the juniors did.

RESULTS SCARE:

Its been well over a month since we completed over semester end exams ,but the results are not yet in sight,but as the rumour mill have it ,not a day goes by without someone or the other coming with their own version of why the results are being delayed or ,the date when the results will be released.

SCIENCE FAIR:

No it isn't a fest.but the fact is the event to be conducted on the 19th of fed(tentative) is a science fair and not a fest ,like everyone is talking Abt.
it is being organised by the science club.

The name is tech night,we believe according to sources,and this is tentative too..
more will follow.

regards,

Mule.

Start Engine, Accelerate :-p

First, we apologize for the delay in the launch of LAGH 2.0. It’s not an unknown fact that every single person was busy with their sems , both the jrs and srs had back to back exams and most of them ended up sad(especially “programming with c language” Sad smile). Even then, everyone was hopping with joy all around>that’s the spirit Smile. The idiotic part was that jrs didn’t get any holidays after the completion of their sems, but trust me we were way too smarter than the management Smile with tongue out and we took a 2 week break Smile. And then the new year celebrations came up and every one was partying like hell. As this was the first new year celebrations in engineering , the jrs were unstoppable. And later on, the college reopened and functioned for 5 days and on the 6th of jan, the riots started and we were sent back home in the break and started our well awaited vacation up to 16th of January .

Welcome back everyone to an ultimate journey of live feeds and gossips happening around the campus. And we expect more from our readers , try your level best to contribute to us any articles,photos etc. and send them to chief.lagh@gmail.com .

And here we are, ready to mark the beginning of a new era. I proudly present to you LAGH 2.0 (unplugged Smile with tongue out). More attractions yet to come(We promise you a joy ride Open-mouthed smile).

Regards,

Padfoot.

Freedom Zone:The Third Decade Of Our Lives

Yes, this is the third decade of our lives, most of us didn’t even notice it. We are into a totally new beginning for something which is going to pave the way for our lives, our future and what not, everything!!!

Our first decade(1990’s) ended up before we even knew anything, before we gained the consciousness over the remaining world, but every one does remember the new millennium celebrations, very memorable to every one.

And the next decade was the first brick in building a wall called life,Our Life. In this period of time, we remember sharing our feelings and what not ; all with our so dear loved ones-our friends.  This is the time we wont forget, we have memories to which we can come back at any stage of our life and feel happy that we were a part of it. School days are never to be forgotten one’s. School taught us not only how to live but also how to care,feel,love and share(the list goes on…!!!). Next we experienced a new way of life, junior college-the place where we made friends in a gap of two years and whom we forget never ever..there is a chance that we may forget one or two of our school friends but in this case, if you think so then you’re half dead Smile with tongue out.That was the time when we made a decision to choose something very important to us..something which would fetch us a bunch of lovely friends who were going to be a part of our lives forever. Yes, we decided our career and everything and today we are here with our dear friends promising to stay with’em until our last breath.

We don’t remember how the second decade might have started but everyone does remember the end of it-the most memorable one,  coz we got our new companions who would last forever with us. At that time, we realized what life really means, and we were still learning about the world around us but in a new context. We decided what we were going to be in the future and learnt many things, made countless friends and started partying and everything.If we didn’t like anything, we bunked,but this time it was not a lonely bunk,it was a mass bunk living up the spirit of unity Open-mouthed smile. Everyday, we learnt new things, not in physics and chemistry but in values and friendship.

And now this third decade welcomes us with a great smile and joy which would last forever, in which we are ready to create a few memories which we never ever forget. We are going to live “the time of our lives” with our most loved ones.
So, lets welcome this decade with happiness and joy,Happy New Decade everyone…!! Smile

one last advice>> Stop worrying and Start partying Open-mouthed smile !!!

Regards,

Padfoot.
