Thoughts and Ramblings.....: February 2014

Cricket and Farewell !!!!!one would think how the hell they are inter related but they are and in a big way too..if not for everyone then at least for us....

      To make the long story short we had a intra faculty cricket tournament in which seven of us were taking part ..six from hostel and Gautam from delegacy....everything was going pretty fine till the morning of the match when suddenly to our surprise we found out that only three of us out of seven were in the playing eleven..Nirbhay was asked to sit out and that too after having the toss...we were startled but since match had started we couldn't do anything but play...Nirbhay showing good sportsmanship by coming on the field as substitute for Ritwik and Gautam helped in scoring...two good players having spent fifteen days in practice were made to sit out for some one who didn't came for practice even once....With some luck and foolish batting from the opposition we went on to win the game....

               Now having got the taste of bad management from seniors we decided its enough and we are not going to be part of the team anymore...so what happens next...we were sitting in one room and discussing the incident and Raghvendra Bhaiya comes apologizing for whatever happened and promised in front of everyone that at least four of us will play in the next match but we were not convinced and we met him in the evening and told him that we didn't want to play but he tried to convince us again and requested us to play....we said OK we will play but only if four of us would play and he promises that..its hard to give a cold shoulder to your senior.

        Next morning we are waiting for the game to start and then he comes and asks Job to sit out....Is this a joke or what ..this was too much and we left the ground..all seven of us.

Now after all this we decided to not take part in farewell ..farewell to whom ...to those seniors who don't know how to behave with juniors and we seven are not the only one thinking along these lines, those who were not related directly have also echoed the same feeling...saying that it doesn't concern only seven people but the whole batch...Siddhant has been ferocious on this matter and what makes his support even more commendable is that he has good relations with Raghvendra Bhaiya even then he is openly opposing what happened....

   The matter was raised in the class and few girls said that it was not the right thing to do...someone said since seniors have given us freshers party so we have to give them farewell... a girl or two said that they agreed with us but we should take part in farewell to shame the seniors by our goodness( too ideal and world is never meant to be fair and ideal).

So the crux of the matter is that we are not going to be part of the farewell but that doesn't mean we are against farewell or against those who are interested in giving farewell.

PS - Had my birthday on 18th.. nothing special in that...Siddhant and raja gifted A keyboard which I was thinking to buy for sometime...UPSC giving two more chances to veterans have forced me to think for some other jobs...atleast typing would help for a data entry operator job :p

Also activated my third Facebook account( one for family and relatives, one for friends and one for.....) its just too hard to stay away from Facebook

On the very first day we skipped classes and decided to visit Ramnagar Fort which didn't span out as a very interesting outing. First we had minor verbal clash with the security personnel present there and then we found out that the camera( thanks to Rishabh) we were carrying was not of great quality.

Recently BHU administration decided to increase fee of almost all the courses but the decision was not received well by the students. Students protested in front of VC house and Lanka gate shouting various slogans, some of which were quite interesting and big hit among the students.After three days of student protest the fee hike was taken by BHU administration.
