Bugs and Errors in the Life of Thaparian..



#Thapar University

We Thaparians are all tortured by similar issues ranging from ATTENDANCE, CGPA to GIRLFRIEND in the right precedence order. Actually our databases are severely corrupted with such viruses, spams and trojan horses. I don't have an antivirus, I'm sorry for that. What i have, is a bit of experience and advice to share.



Below I'm going to discuss certain major bugs which may interfere with the compilation of your program having a runtime of 4 years ( OR MORE...YOU KNOW WHEN...!!!):-


1) Error message 0075: This is a fatal error, occurs when you bunked most of the classes thinking that the professor is your father ( I'm sorry... he is more than that...you are soon to realize). 
BEWARE: you may be detained at 74.99% attendance !!!


2) Error message 0006: This is another disaster, occurs when you focus more on your girlfriend than EGRA and MATHS...as a result you are unable to get even 6 CG in your semesters. Tortured by the world you take a pledge to get more than 9 for the next sem.
BEWARE: tomorrow rarely comes, in fact never !!!

3) Error message 0805: This occurs when you played COUNTERSTRIKE the whole night or watched INTERSTELLAR for the 99th time...whatever be the reason but you woke up at 8:05AM. You realize that you had an important lab at 8:00AM...you don't have the time to bath....or let alone brush your teeth...( STINKY....isn't it)..You reach the lab at 8:20AM...you are in the hands of the lab-attendant whether he lets you slip into the class unknown to the Professor.
BEWARE: Punctuality is important, even outside Pre-nursery textbooks. Our college gives REAL LIFE lessons too !!!

4) Error message 0000: This is in particular, displayed on your account balance section in your ATM receipt when you are expecting the last Rs500 note to come out. This is the outcome when alternatives like FOOD FACTORY at COS, LAZEEZ, DOMINOS, NIGHT MESS etc are dearer to you than C-Hostel mess. Thapar can be very expensive, it already is.
BEWARE: You are not yet placed, take care !!!
5) Error message 0010: This is encountered when you score 10 CG in your semesters. This is actually the worst mistake you can ever commit. Somewhere in the middle of your college life you come to realize that you don't have friends to boast of or stories to tell. This was a consequence of never bunking a single class and devoting 100% to studies. You feel isolated and deprived. Try to join societies, learn other aspects of life as well. 


So, with this i covered a major part of life at Thapar. The right mental balance and a bit of intelligence may make you sail through of most of the problems. Try to think, experiment and make mistakes. Learning through mistakes is what is preached at Thapar and throughout the world. Innovation and creativity in your field of interest is preferred over CG. We at Thapar, are a bunch of curious students trying to learn through making mistakes under equally curious professors. Of course, there cannot be a shorter path to success.

NSS BITS Pilani has been organising a two-day national sports fest for youth with disabilities every year since 2012 and this time its back in its fourth edition..


"India has a population of over a billion people, with a staggering 20 million of them physically challenged. While numerous NGO's cater to their specific needs and fight for their right to live a normal life, this August 29th and 30th, NSS -BITS Pilani pitches in to give them their right to equality and normalcy. 

Junoon is more than just an event. It is an effort to give the specially abled their right to equality and a sense of acceptance. It is a platform for these young champions to showcase their talent to the more privileged section of society to prove that every human born on this earth bears the tag of being called "equal".
Junoon has taken upon itself to sensitize the next generation of potential leaders to the life of the specially abled.


We do not claim that we are going to redefine sports. But, in our own way, we intend to honor sports for all it stands, competition and chance. This August, the fight gets fiercer, this August, everyone gets their chance, this August, sport triumphs above all. 

Junoon- a unique sporting extravaganza for the specially abled youth of the country is now into its fourth edition. In this new edition of the event, we expect a participation of over 200 participants from all over the country with support from 10 NGO. With all this support and some exciting changes, we expect Junoon 2015 to be an even bigger success than the years gone by have seen."


Says their website.. http://nss-bits-pilani.org/junoon/

Though registration is not yet open and even the events schedule is not out..
But it seems the preparations for the fest have started..

LIFE AT NITK
By Aditi Kaushik, Second Year

If at first second, i would find myself grooving in our A.E lawn ( the lawn amidst our academic and electrical department)..then  other second we will find multitudes jostling , shouting wildly at our DJ N8 ,where the ‘nit security forces’ line we encounter between girls and boys rows at our OAT(open air theatre) ⇓

IMG-20150718-WA0031.jpg

seemed  vanished... and...at  third second we found girls ..remorsing over our limited out -of- the hostel timings..(may be that timing problem is the story of most among us) .
From two sessionals per semester to horrifying machining drawing ,our ED 2, (well being a lovable one for me)  ..from boring lectures to full on mass bunks.!!

From boring mess  food to masaledar scrumptious gluttonous dhaba food  (sooraj dhaba, kathi king and many more) from outskirts of college,
from sexy afganis to cool haryanvis ( being  a  haryanvi is an attitude 8) )
from sweet south indians to intellectual biharis..
from rigorous late night and even early morning ( up with the larks )  practise sessions of  our dance crews let it be  SUC LSD NBC to our velapanti, sitting idle observing wiggles and exactly just dawdling  at market place or anywhere.:P
from vodka shot to nimbu pani( just to alleviate the effects of former)..
this is  just a tiny stuff out of the actual ecstasy we gathered  in our first year. !!
( beep ! nostalgic ! )
NOTE: REST IS YOUR SOLE PROBATION. :P


IMG-20150718-WA0034.jpg


NIT K .. one of the most prestigious..standing 4th among all its peers, whose its campus extends over an area of 300 acres imaginatively laid down on a picturesque landscape. It presents a spectacle of harmony in architecture and natural beauty. Starting from its entrance gate its natural beauty ( which plays a great role in carrying away those February love days swiftly :P)   will surely thaw u down.


OKAY NOW : BELOW reported CONTENT IS SOMETHING THAT U MUST MIND :
So, For the new entrants..
we have our  TALENT SHOW (CULTURAL EVENT basically) and later on there is “ALTIUS” the technical fest soon after talent show.


So..tenderfoots..

Among many fests being conducted right here for instance CONFLUENCE, UTKARSH, TECHSPARDHA, ALTIUS, I- SUMMIT...
TALENT SHOW is the material for first yearites specially. you guys will get a chance to form your own teams, get your opportunity to interact with seniors (to compete many other turns will be there in future) ..and actually the matter of fact is that the every fame story starts from this TALENT show thing.that  approbation is the best ever spark needed for a worth remembering college life.
for  hey. ! FOR OTHERS ..longing some stuff other than and sing and dancing ..we have our  *informals * club events ( this is what they are called) running side by side.After the hectic life or i say hiatus , pause of that mains adv. thing. this TALENT SHOW offers you  a chance to wilder around AND try things just like anything !  jump in anything and live ur life to fullest !


so it is  an  OPPORTUNE TIME TO SHOW UP !

Talking briefly : these clubs and society, dance crew  possess their very own life.Discussions, Quizzes,Chandigarh Night Outs, Clubbing. They all are like your second family. :)


ONE MORE THING THIS CAMPUS OFFERS IS ITS *ANTI RAGGING ENVIRONMENT*.
RULES ARE QUITE STRICT IN THIS REGARD. SENIORS ARE ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU.
they are just at a call away from you..during prep give them a call anytime anywhere.
AND IN CASE YOU ARE A PART OF ANY G.T (get together) let it be of south people, bihar gt,

#Thapar University


During these hustle full admission days, some people in Thapar University are even more prepared than those seeking admissions in Thapar.
No, it's not that faculty or the staff that I am talking about, it's the Frosh Team.

For those who don't know, Frosh Week is the initial week for the fresher's of Thapar University, where variety of events are held to welcome new students and help them get rid of their nostalgia. The fiesta is an opportunity for the freshers to find their bearings in a new environment.

In simpler words, in frosh week, Students are made familiar with the university and its atmosphere through a series of events organized by their seniors. This helps them to interact more with the seniors and helps in creating a no ragging atmosphere in the university.

Soon after its existence in 2011, Frosh got the recognition as a society in the university. Within the initial weeks after admission, Frosh organises two set of events for the freshers, namely PROEM and FROSH WEEK. They consist of city tour, department visits, movie nights, workshops, guest lectures, karaoke night and much more..

The seniors are assigned as mentors and chief mentors. They also handle the queries of parents during the counsellings not only this every students is provided with a mentor whom he/she can always run up to for any sort of trouble during their college time.

All in all, frosh week is the treat time for the freshers in Thapar.
And if you are one of the coming to Thapar, just gear up for the FROSH fun...:D

#IPU

As you all know, College life is the most enthralling experience for every student and you will have that experience if you are a part of IPU.



Every engineering aspirant has a dream to be part of an IIT but life doesn't end here and believe me it has so much to offer you. 
To flourish in life “Don’t be recognized by the college you attend, remember to excel so that your college is recognized by YOU”


There are several other options for every student who wants engineering as their career. And one good options is INDRAPRASTHA UNIVERSITY, DELHI... And especially for the students of Delhi, it is nothing less than an icing on the cake.



I am also pursuing my B.Tech from Bhagwan Parshuram Institute of Technology, one of the top colleges affiliated by IP University. Frankly, I have never regretted my choice. Though at times, it is really hectic to attend the Continuous classes, scheduled from 9 to 5 with only a 45 minutes lunch break in between. We don't even get a free lecture anytime. But if we think rationally, the college authorities are really concerned and strict about the studies.


And not to miss.. IPU also conducts one of the biggest cultural fest of the capital with 120+ colleges participating which witnesses the show of raw talent put up by different colleges of IPU.  
BPIT itself conducts two of the biggest fests of the city.  The LITERARY FEST namely ELOQUENCE and The CULTURAL FEST known as CORONA.
Life is fun at IPU.. especially with the advantage of being in NCR.. which provides you with lots of opportunities for training and internships..

and my friend if you are worried for “PLACEMENTS”, Just don't be.. as IPU ensures the best talent to achieve the perfect place for developing your future. Several multinational companies like Accenture, HCL, INFOSYS, COGNIZANT, IBM, TCS, INFOTECH and Even Indian Navy visit for on campus drives.


So to conclude, If you want to be an engineer as well as looking for overall personality development then this is the right place!!..

#IITRoorkee

As IITR expels 73 students last wednesday. The students of the institute itself are not willing to accept this. Our Sources Say that as the classes resume tomorrow after a long break, students will start protest in their own way.

(Source: Amar Ujala, Dehradun)

"Bade level par protest hoga!!"
"Unity hai students mein!!"
Such voices are prevailing among the students while IITR stands by its decision.

(Source: Amar Ujala, Dehradun)
NSUI and ABVP are already protesting outside the campus. A melodramatic scenerio is expected tomorrow in campus. Though authorities must be aware of the fact that the situation can worsen up. Yet its crucial where the whole matter goes and what happens to the future of those 73 students.
