Ring Tones

Ring tones, aim of using it is to help the owner to identify that he has received a call or message. But today's ring tones are informing the entire society along with the owner.Mostly people keep the film songs as ring tones which usually disturb the entire environment. These tones have defeated the objective of usage of cell phones. They helped in gaining the ban on usage in most places like temples, hospitals, organisation, etc. But we can't eliminate them and go for ordinary phone like tones, as in today's situation each and every person posses a cell phone and it may create chaos in deciding whose cell phone is ringing. So one solution is to keep the volume low and proper selection of tones which won't stun the entire surroundings. Its in our hands to utilise it as our servant and not as public nuisance.

Let me quote some of the funny instances with these tones

one of my friends had set the kandashasti kavasam tone for the call from home, and andakaka kondakari for call from friends. But what happened was when he was at temple along with his parents andakaka kondakari started to play which embrassed the mami in front of him in the queue. While he was with his friends naturally his parents would call and kaka kaka kadirvel kaka starts to play to the amusement and embrassment of his friends while he was watching movie with them. Atlast he decided to go with the tincan tone for both to find solace and comfort for this problem.

Another instance is regarding me. Me and my family members went for a picnic on a holiday. On the way my uncle paniced as he misplaced the cell somewhere. We didn't know what to do, but my small cousin aged five asked me to give a ring to my uncle's cell. I did and we heard the doll baje doll baje tone from my aunts bag.

So we have to make use of it as a lover who speaks only to us and not as spouse who speaks to all other than us.

Electives

Electives, i think it means options, no choices, no no alternatives, or say compulsories to be taken.

let me see the first one, OPTIONs, then it says we have the full rights, better to say full freedom(100%) to choose our subjects of interest. It seems to be the objective of the university.

Second one, CHOICEs, it itself conveys you are restricted to take or study those which can be provided to you by them. 80% freedom, with 20% veto power in others hand.

Thirdly, Alternatives, meaning try to take the best path to escape. so 50% power in your hands.

Fourth and final , COMPULSORIES to be TAKEN, 20% in your hand, i.e you have to put your signature on acceptance papers.

So, its in our conduct, behaviour and approach to gain the 100% freedom.

Cautious and calculative approach yeilds adequate results

Speed of internet

Internet is really a boon to mankind. It is the first invention turned into and supported open sourcing. It has helped man to share and collect information beyond physical boundaries. For todays youth it is a genie which will help him do his homeworks, gives ideas for projects, enables chatting and dating. What more can a guy ask for.

Technically internet means a collection of computers which are connected together(this much only i can recollect @ present), but it is a digital library cum resource identifier for a computer novice. Generally people who can be tech geeks or novice they like the speed of internet to be tremendously high, say minimum expectation is to be that of light's velocity. No one wants to wait and see the blank screen even for seconds though they have no idea about what they are doing. So, today we have gone to broadband from dial-ups, Gbps from Kbps.

It is quite natural that human expection always increases with his achievement, as his neccessity led to various inventions. These inventions seem to be simple from outside but are mind boggling for students who have to analyse it and were for the inventors. So we have started to purchase many electronic items which will improve the speed of communication, i.e internet. One thing we are forgetting at this velocity, we are neglecting the art of conversation, can you remember it, yes you are correct, why to be so suspicious about it, yes ofcourse it is speaking.

Today guyz send sms, chat even to propose or convey their messages to each other. If it goes on then soon our internet speed will be at its zenith where as our power of speaking will be inversly proportional to it.Guyz donot forget that human is the only animal which can laugh and speak in a language. Give a thought to it.

hostel life

First time in life we are forced to fly outside the parental nest into the world. Here we make new friends and leastly foes who make this part of life ever green in our memory. We learn the values of sharing joy and sorrow with our friends. This also helps in lot communication between students to discuss and share information from general topics(film,sports, etc) to latest technology, subject(only on exam eve), etc.

Only problem we face is food. After getting used to delicious food prepared by mom for the past 17 years, it will be disgusting to cope with mess food. But it is also a boon in disguise, as it trains us to be prepared for the meals prepared by spouses in future(mostly incorrigble, as no one cares abt cooking as every thing is available in hotels, fast foods).

study hours, silence hours, apologies, feast, power cuts and canteen are some of the spieces added to hostel life. Most important one which adds more taste to hostel life like ajin-o-motto for food is Treat. Comming late to hostel is one of the ingridients in hostel life which usually takes the joy out of it by the punishments followed.Most irritating one is the low and restricted time for internet access. Money management is the biggest issue faced by each guy which makes him a good financial advisor at the end of the course.

Amidst the problems there always lies solution. So does in the hostel life too. It has lot of fun and experience to gain between the various hooks.

love pairs

Normally students in college , now even in school days link a girl with boy to make fun of him(i don't know abt girls). Choosing of the pair by peer group is done on basis of some event that happened which is funnier to remember. During the teasing, students unfurl their creatvity and tease the guy and produce a very colourful film beyond the imagination of any oscar winning director.They also laugh heartily which keeps the examination tension away and makes them lively.Even science has agrred that such friendly mocking, sighting girls keeps blood pressure low in certain study conducted.
If the girl is good looking and also smart the boy usually or say partly likes the mocking done by his friends linking him with her. But if she is opposite then he disagrees and tries to find a new one of his taste. Makes his friend to associate her with him by creating stories or new events to support his selection. Suppose if the girl is already linked to some other person , it leads to some small petty fights which normally ends in treat by signing a peace treaty that both will enjoy the game.This type of practise is normally offended in most institutions as they are against the discipline and decorum of organisation.

So, it is better to tease a guy only in friends circle with out breaking any rules and offending others feelings. Like crackers we have to handle them safely.So, Play Safe

Best out going student

Normally a guy has specific skills and interest which amuses others. Each and every one attends various competitons to find these skills, sharp them up and compare with others on how to improve them. Institutions also help in such activities and honour those who outsmart the rest in various skills.

In auctual sense the best outgoing student means the one who has all the features of a student such as hunger to learn, willingness to share, team spirit, quench to achieve something in life that is ambition which will help the society.

But thats not what it is happening today. Most students are making their ambition as to get BOS, for which they loose their ethical values, try to please others who are powerful, do all mean things. It is very annoying to see students trying to act as if they have the skill or interest in which they don't even have basic knowledge.If it continues like this in future too, we will have BOS guyz who are not good actors and also students for the society.

It is high time for the society and institution to recognise the original students with ethical values and award them the BOS to encourage them and for betterment of society.

Cash or Knowledge - A Prize for competition

In today's world students normally think or tend to think the cash prize winning is their main goal in participating competitions. As a result sponsorers announce huge cash awards to attract more students. Even a national level technical symposium attracts best minds only when huge sum is printed in their posters. Money generates tendency to be miser and a looser whereas knowledge the tendency to share and gain.We have to regain the lost values, pursue the path for ultimate excellence and not get pacified with side kicks.

We have to provide proper recognition for achievers by helping them to gain more IQ and also for competitors tips to excel. Student community is like a flooded river, it needs proper bunds at correct place to reach the sea of knowledge and avoid causing a havoc.
