Tsunami in Calicut
NIT-CALICUT:RED ALERT........
MAY DAY MAY DAY MAY DAY!!!!!!!
SOS...SOS.....
Calicut,friday the 20th:
On wednesday, the 18th, the wireless link b/w the prod. engg dept and the F hostel in NIT Calicut failed. Since then there has no internet in the F hostel. For people's information, F hostel is the final year hostel out here and is the only one with 24hrs(!) internet connection at present. The timing tho was perfect:just three days before the sessionals. For some it was God sent. The administrator told me that the Inet in NIT Calicut stands for Intelligent Net since the connection somehow fails just before the exams.
However some felt otherwise. Sample quotes:
"man i surf for relaxin in between studies...no net.... n its all drivin me crazy :O"
"hostel is so lifeless without the net :(( "
"Wheres ma oxygen...?:X"
"F**k...Damn.....Screw it...Bull S**t..."
The inmates are so despo that the F hostel Janda is on half mast now. Also, a statue of Lord Vinayaga(the e-God!) has been erected and the special Cybera Yagna has been started.(Its the cyber world Aswamedha Yagna...a virus has been let loose and the admin has to chase it :D) Also for support measures, students from other colleges are rushing in with extra bandwidth to save the life of the inmates. And to top it all, a bug(Aloha Kirkaldy) has been spotted in the Campus Networking Centre. This has resulted in erratic connection to even the Computer Centres located in the various departments in the college. And this has resulted in frequent black outs in the whole college. Latest reports indicate that it would take atleast 2 or 3 days for the connection to be bak to normal. Till then, students have been asked to bear wit the authorities and not to resort to any means of violence(!).

PPL, I have my internals from tomorrow. So all the visitors do remember me whenever u pray to God :)(I know u do but then just 2 remind all) Next weekend,I wud be visiting Coimbatore to meet my skool buds and then to NIT Trichy to participate in the Techfest there.
