Slided to IT

August 29th, 2008 by Naman Bagga | No Comments | Filed in MANIT Bhopal

Thia incident happened on 25th August 2008.I was attending classes in Energy for a month at that time.I had the following subjects in my first semester-

Physics with Practicals
Chemistry(Part 1) with Practicals
Mathematics
Engineering Graphics
Communication Skills
Computer Programming

I was leaving for my classes after the break when an announcement was made about second sliding before final allotment of students admitted through Second Phase of Counseling.Well I decided to go for it and when I reached the auditorium,I saw that there was a vacant seat in IT.A tiny hope arose inside me.When students were being called for sliding in order of ranks,a guy slided from IT to Mechanical which meant there were 2 vacant seats in IT,now.The students were called and I was the person interested in IT.My AIR of 14191 in AIEEE had got me IT at MANIT Bhopal and I was thrilled.

One thing that was always in my mind throughout the whole process that IT had different subjects in the first semester.My new subjects are-

Physics
Chemistry(Part2)
Mathematics
Basic Civil and Mechanical Engineering(BCM) with Practical
Basic Electrical Engineering(BEE) with Practical
Environmental Engineering
Workshop

This means I'll have to study hard in the first semester to perform well in my exams.I had mentioned before about my first minors which were supposed to be from 18th to 22nd August.The latest news is that the minors have been postponed and now I'll be having my minors from 22nd to 26th September.There are rumors that second minors are in October.Other rumors say that there will be only 1 minor in the first semester.

Speedboating at Bhopal

Bhopal is popularly known as the city of Lakes.When I reached Bhopal on Friday 25th July,I checked into my hostel and spent the next day with my parents.I went to many places but the one I enjoyed the most was my visit to the lake for a speedboat ride.I got the tickets and let me tell you,as compared to Delhi,Bhopal is a really cheap place.Then I headed towards the jetty with my mom and sister and saw this speedboat waiting for us to get in-

Then I enjoyed a round of the lake in the speedboat.It was a great feeling to feel the air blaze past my face.There were moments when I could see nothing but water around the boat.It was really difficult to hold on to my phone as the thing was powered by a 6000rpm motor.Still,my sister managed to get a picture of mine during the ride-

I also managed to get a picture of a duck roaming around the lake

I’m Back

I have successfully managed to escape form Tihar Jail MANIT Bhopal,Hostel No.2 for 4 days.Getting leave is a big problem.I had to submit an application and get it signed from the Warden.You need to come up with a really convincing reason to be granted leave.Tuesdays are half days for me so I came back to the hostel early and packed my stuff.I took the train last night and reached Delhi this morning.I'll be leaving for Bhopal on Sunday.

Since my first minors start from 18th August,I'll have to study at home.I met lots of classmates/hostel-mates on the station and some of them told me that by 5pm in the evening the warden asked the guards to let everyone go.Perhaps he was getting too tired signing everyone's applications.I won't be missing any classes because 13th and 14th are MT(Mass Tadi i.e. Mass Bunk) days.

I met 2 other guys from my school at MANIT-Shishir Bhargava who's doing Mechanical and Chun who's in MANIT because SPA Bhopal's campus isn't ready yet.I have loads of stuff to write about MANIT but I'll be doing that in later posts.For now,I'm enjoying the luxuries of home.
