NITIE Memories

NITIE…. Following things came to my mind

- Great place to have 18 months of vacation :)

- One of the best experiences in my life!

- Looking at the watch at 11.30PM and saying I can watch an episode of FRIENDS now and then go to sleep at 12

- Kuldeep (my neighbor) playing “Saat Samunadar Paar” after every Mod exam at the highest volume of the speaker. Post final Mod exam when he didn’t play this song, Sarthak and I actually went to his room asked him why didn’t play it this time!!!

- The night when Prashant, Karunendra and I were watching various old Pop music videos despite slow NITIE net, till 3AM in the morning (it was too late for someone like me). That was the first time I saw “Nigori Kaisi Jawani Hai”

- Varun coming to room during exam times and saying, “Yaar, ek baat bata” And then asking multiple questions

- Talking of exam time, the number of people coming to my room for so called help and the way Prashnat used to be pissed off because their noise

- Bakku/ Chappan ki Bakabak

- A particular girl’s innocent face :)

- Those phone calls to Guest Faculty for coordinating lecture timings

- Karunendra’s smoking (Sorry dude, but that’s one thing you do a lot) and his passion for bike

- Karunendra’s persistence to make me drink at least once in NITIE and my persistence not to drink, at the end I won \m/

- The awesome view of Renaissance hotel, Powai Lake, a whole range of hills – all this from my hostel room. You get up in the morning and you watch outside the window – it was like Heaven

- Those assignment which never had tight deadline but I always wanted to submit it at the earliest. I am sure Varun, Vaibhav, Shekhar must have been thinking why our used to present first in the class

- Controversies related to a particular “committee” (Kis college mein yeh nahi hota!!!)

- Sengar’s swearing habit (Some actually know him by his Nick name only – Google)

- The Prerana nights – especially the first one!!

- Divekar’s awesome humor – You are too good mate!!!

- Vaibhav and Vaibhaw’s knowledge

- Those Cricket matches in the common area

- Visits by my BE Project Group, although at different times, were memorable

- One of the best Profs I have met, Som Shekhar Bhattacharya – This despite the fact that he will be giving me my lowest grade in NITIE

- Being one of the toppers of the Batch and being recognized as one!

- Those Operations Simulation Games which we never won – with Shekhar and Sarthak

- Siddharth aka Tau’s punch lines

- Section C’s high CGPA which is the topic of discussion even among the Profs

(To be continued)

Raja Shivchhatrapati Lyrics

इंद्र जिमि जंभ पर… बाडव सुअंभ पर… रावण सदंभ पर… रघुकुलराज है ! पौन बारिबाह पर… संभु रतिनाह पर… ज्यों सहसबाह पर… राम द्विजराज है ! उदरात माउली… रयतेस साउली… गडकोट राउळी… शिवशंकर हा मुक्तीची मंत्रणा… युक्तीची यंत्रणा… खल दुष्टदुर्जना… प्रलयंकर हा संतास रक्षितो… शत्रू निखंदतो… भावंडभावना… संस्थापितो ऐसा युगेयुगे… स्मरणीय सर्वदा… माता-पिता-सखा… शिवभूप तो दावा दृमदंड पर… चीता मृगझुंड पर… भूषन वितुंड पर… जैसे मृगराज है ! तेज तम‍ अंस पर… कान्ह जिमि कंस पर… त्यों मलिच्छ बंस पर… सेर सिवराज है ! जय भवानी, जय शिवाजी !   Thanks to Nik for sending this.

कुछ बिखरे सपने और आँखों में नमी है, एक छोटा सा आसमां और उम्मीन्दों की ज़मीं है, यूँ तो बहुत दोस्त है ज़िन्दगी मैं, पर जो खास है वाही पास नहीं है ....................

Marathi Manoos

I read the following article in Mint yesterday. http://www.livemint.com/Articles/2010/02/19213129/The-Thackerays8217-primitiv.html I was shocked by the bias shown by the author against the Marathis. I completely agreed with him when he talks about Sena. Both Shivsena and MNS have done more damage to Marathis than they have helped. Their methods have been of violence and oppression. May it be Shiv Sena’s reaction to racists attacks in Australia or the MNIK controversy, common man is the one who usually suffers. But the author then checks the list of 30 companies in BSE and 50 in NSE, to prove that there are no Marathi person “owning” a company and goes on to say - “ The Mumbai Marathi, better at renaming things than building something himself”. Then he says - If we observe Marathi society we notice the total absence of mercantile castes. Into this space the British imported the multi-religious trading community of Surat—Vohra, Khoja, Luhana, Memon, Jain, Parsi and Vaniya. The...
