The first TRiP

The official travel(trip?) partner could be taken up by anyone but right now lets just say I took it over.

I remember to a great deal every word of the statement made by a certain layzee core about how spons changes lives. And I simply cant help appreciating how surprisingly true and trippy it is.

1. A certain spons cord who inquired events team about FOSS licenses explained FOSS workshop to a certain main sponsor and his co-cord pinching himself to stop laughing thinking of the change.

2. The same main spons chap pointing out to a spons cord that you definitely drink and at the same time points out to his co-cord that all he drinks is milk. (Duh)

3.That "on top of the roof" is also known as "first floor".

4. "Happy hours" can be extended if the manager by chance sees your IIT Madras Spons card on the floor.

5, Having an alumnus in the company is a sure shot reason for them to sponsor and not having one isn't.

I rarely blog, so please help me pass the lemon law with your comments.

@I.N.Gar - I look forward to you the most.

Achtung !!

Well, Well, I see the proof of Layzee Saar's influence on all of us in front of me on the screen, with it reading "No Blogposts " .Hmmph. And on top of it, I get requests from two (or was it three ? ) lazy buggers to start off with this Blog-Trip (yeah, if someone gives me enough rokda, I'll make a film out of it and Lypas Tech. daren't rip this idea off, or my curse shall befall thee :P ).

Now, the first topic that I wanted to write about was a difficult choice, with loads of topsy-turvy things happening in the past 2 months, but it was made quite simple, by the name of this blog as I stared upon it - "Madras Money Theory " whose acronym was our erstwhile Meta. Dept. BTech course's name :MMT a.k.a. Metallurgy and Materials Technology (now they have changed it to engineering realizing no new technology is coming up from the students whose ideal pass time ranges from 'Mugging for GRE' to writing 'Psychophantic Scripts for Plays' and for most being a Trip to a resort where people who can't swim, wish to drown and experience an NDE (Near Death Experience, not a Non-Destructive Evaluation, if any of the Mech guys got interested).

Now, coming back to the point, why "Madras Money Theory" ??????? When a team which can come up with pseuder articles and titles than rest of the insti (minus the Newsletter team), why a name which doesn't ring any bells and instead sounds more like some Film Production Unit for a B-Grade Tam movie ? Not that I watch B-grade Tam movies (I hardly watch Tam movies, for that matter) but I hope the expression was well understood.

Well, I was non-lethargic enough to type down this much first thing in the morning but then, you see, Layzee is a very influential man, (as his LinkedIn profile could well be describing himself as a catalyst for Industry-Student interactions) and that will prevent me from writing further... until of course, some one else from the team starts contributing. After all, a Blog-Trip with just one person can get boring and if they are laced with my PJs, could be even more so !

So, (B)Log On guyz !!!
