New Year Eve.....A party at Kubera

Hi all,

What to say on the New years eve... the pictures above say it all ....still let's start with the definition of the new year..

The New Year is an event that happens when a culture celebrates the end of one year and the beginning of the next. Cultures that measure yearly calendars all have New Year celebrations.

Ooops.... that's what Wikipedia had to say..... not me.

Guys Wish you all a Happy New Year ..2007 .... in advance....

Haven't we spent enough time cursing Bhatkal , Aec..... when we were at bhatkal ?

But honestly we had lot of things to complain .... like no co-education at the college, the teaching staff, the hostel, food, the rain, the sweat, jam packed tempo's, no busses to bypass, saikumar & Mithunda's movies... well the list goes on ..... still there are 100 of other things we complained about.... which was the reality back there...

But don't you think we also had some of the advantages of being in bhatkal ... which were the one kept us alive there....

Like the Kubera, Quality, seven seas, Sindhu, murudeshwar, the APM buses, the packed tempo's with good people kind enough to give us the that lill space to creep in and hang on to it also worth mentioning the other minor advantages of coming in tempo's (we all know),
the konkan train which made going Goa just a matter of 100 bucks in the pocket, the fish curry (for the fish eater's), Laxmi theatre (for morning shows) and Pushpanjali (for night shows), the near by hotspots like Gokarna, Toodalli falls, Baindoor beach, trasi beach, .........

There are so many to list.....

Every new year eve brings me loads of bhatkal memories to me....

The new year parties at kubera, parties at shirali, the goa trips .....

The memories of the unplanned trip to Goa..... the time we had spent in Madgoan busstand and the panjim trip the next day.... all are sitting like the mpeg clips in my memory.... all I need is to replay it whenever I feel .....

Each one of us had atleast 4 newyear parties at bhatkal (some lucky one's like me had more than that) and we all have party even now.... but that carless attitude... no responsibilites, no worries about money, wife , job, kids....while partying .

The true parties was only at parties we did at bhatkal .

I am leaving the following flash clips for you all .... Happy New Year once again...

Response No 1... for Pradeep Singhs article by Sreenath

Hi all,

Here is the first response on Pradeep Singh's blog......

It's not that each one of us had to feel the same way what Pradeep, Somu or Gopal felt ...... well Sreenath has a different story to say ......

The truth is out here on this blog for the first time straight from Sreenath.....

I think all of us will have a say on this one....

Here goe's Sreenath's comment.....

Well it’s all flourishing moments I ever had in my life during my stay @ Distinction block…like Pradeep said he saved money when he stayed away from distinction block, I thought why not I make some money out this Distinction block? (sounds crazy ... look how I did it.....)

I went and cut a deal with CSC student and here was the deal…’I will move get you my single room and how much can you afford me?

He replied with a big smiling face how much you want? I said 3K .....and next moment the deal was closed and I walked away from the hostel and stayed near K U B E R A……..

Enjoyed for 2 months with out studying just watching bur..'s and full time playing and cooking…continued this for next 2 months then I realized...... I was screwing my career.......oops....

One fine day came back to hostel and Told Raj Kumar (ENC professor and then Warden) and here it goes my conversation with him …

”Sir I want single room now, he said you had volunteered...? your room to some one else so we don’t have any more, I said sir I am not able to study properly after I left hostel, he said I told you many times but you never listened to me…You better come next year, I will talk to my management about you and I will personellay request them to get you shared room, sir if I waste my final year like this it will spoil my career.

He said this year you enjoy next year you can study well…;-). Then some tears (mosale kanneeru)…and started "sir actually we are very poor sir....!!!!???", we didn’t have money to afford a single room at that time, that’s why I gave that to other person. as now we got loan sanctioned and I want to study hard ..... so that single room is very essential..… he told ok I will talk to Bokaro(Principal and the management tonight and will try to get you shared room)….sir please sir…...

He told you come and meet me tomorrow. I met him next day, he told I have 1 single room but if you can pay the bill by end of today I can give you other wise I will give it to Satish Jarali ;-)…

I told him sir give me time till tomorrow I will call my father to get the money and come tomorrow morning itself… he told ok today you can shift but you should pay tomorrow….I paid after ..........5 days ;-)……….

Will update about Satish Jarali’s case later…

Pradeep Sing da article ... on the distinction block

Hi all,

Its been almost a month since I blogged sorry for the delay,

Hey all here is an article from our own Kannada speaking Sardar....Pradeep Singh,

Currently he is working in Ericcson and had been to Bhatkal and to our college in connection to installing an tower for Airtel,

The topic of Pradeep's article is about the Hostel and to be more precise .... its about the famous distinction block....

Man....!!!!! we all had heard lot's of stories and myth'n block ..... only top scorer's get in there and all the rooms are single rooms.... there is water 24/7 and next to the mess..... there were so many attractions and advantages we all saw and wated to be there in our final year.....

Well most of us did not have that good marks to enter there .... well .. I think none of the bypassians did bother about that .... vcos... we already had our own 5 star single rooms at Bypass.....

Well Pradeep has got some nice photographs from the top of the distinction block....(none of us had accesses there)

Along with the article is also shares his feelings about the distinction block,

Here goes Pradeep's story,

Enjoy....!!!

Hi Bypassians,

These are recent snaps from top of 4th block... i.e. final year block...

Most of us might have got this idea at least once to stay in this block in final year and study well and walk out with a distinction in final year.......( I think this line will rake up lot of replies from people aboard your blog :-)......... )

In my case, when the time came, I was not selected for that... I gave myself an explanation that I saved the extra money which I might have had to shell off if I had got a room there....

Or.... I dont remember, I did'nt even apply for that block I guess..... Or am I saying this just to save my face?.... :-).......Iam not sure......

Whatever... these pics are different from all we shared before because these are taken from terrace of 4th block where nobody has access..... Airtel is planning to put a mobile gsm site on top of this block to give coverage to campus... the guys who went for survey have taken these photos......

Please share it among our friends aboard your blog.

You've set it ablaze, now keep it Burning.....CHEERS !!

Pradeep
