A superb day, it was ... OBO rocked

Buddies

OBO rocked ... Plain and simple ...
The day was great. Nice pleasant weather. No traffic. Great organization. No confusions. Superb effort by all of us ...

A great salute to the 10 winners ... esp. the senior citizen who was among the top 10 ...

Personally, I had a great time at Garuda Mall ... helped in volunteering ... enjoyed a lot with buddies ...

The cultural show was super. Especially, Atul was great .. Kanchan and Kajal spoke well as part of the compering team ...

Thanks to the sponsors PNB & British Biologicals for the delicious Badam milk and some lemon drinks ...

Will be great if we have an off day tomorrow. We guys deserve it for all the great effort put over the past couple of weeks.

HATS OFF to all of us ...

Cheers

Marathon postponed

Hi folks

A setback ... ODI BENGALURU ODI has been postponed to Oct 3rd ... The judgement on the Babri Masjid demolition case is due on the 24th of this month. So Bengaluru is going to be deserted from Friday to Sunday ... A curfew like situation ...

But this delay is a blessing in disguise ... It gives us more time to fine tune our organizing skills ... We can have a much more super marathon on Oct 3rd ...

This unexpected long weekend gives us a chance to maybe go back to our home cities ...

On the whole, next weekend is going to be super exciting and busy for us ... What with OBO, Anjaana Anjaani and last but not the least ENDHIRAN ...

Can't wait for next weekend ... :)

The long Festival weekend ...

The long 3 day weekend that we had last week was the first real weekend that we guys enjoyed since Aug 2nd :)

The internal tests ... :)

Folks

How did you feel about the 2 internal tests that we had for OB and Accounting. ? :)

I basically feel that the OB mam was very prompt in correcting our papers and returning them back to us. It reminded me of my school days. She said that she had followed a very lenient correction pattern. But the marks tell a different story...

The less that is said about the Accounting test the better. The Balance sheet didn't tally. Lots of tense, worried faces after the test. Waiting for the marks with bated breath.

Ciao ...

The Interviews and Filming sessions ...

Hi Folks

Last week, the management decided to film the sessions going on in class (for publicity purposes). It was a good initiative on their part. There was good co-operation from the student lot too.

They came in during an accounting lecture and filmed the class for some time. After that, they interviewed each and every committee's members.

We from the OPNG committee started the interview session followed by the other committees. We told about what we were doing as part of our committee work. It was a good opportunity for all the committee members to tell the outside world about what they were doing for the class.

After all this, the camera also followed the hostel students to their respective halt spots.

The purpose of this exercise was to capture the Manipal student's ideal day at college.

Eagerly waiting for the day when the video is released to the WWW sphere :)

The Academic Committee's QUIZ

Hi guys

Hope all of you enjoyed the academic committee's quiz. It was conducted very well by Angad and co. Hats off to them

The quiz was extra special to the IT committee because we won the quiz. Myself Kaushik, Rohit and Ajay won the finals in a very thrilling finish. It was very interesting.

Our team was called the WOODIES. We finished first, followed closely by the FIGHTERS and then the 3 IDIOTS and INVINCIBLES

There was also a preliminary round conducted last week. The 4 teams mentioned above progressed through to the finals after a written test.

On the whole, this exercise was awesome. Three cheers to the organizers, the audience and last but not the least the participants.

Looking forward to more such efforts from the academic committee. We are there to support them

Corporate Relations and Social Responsibilty committees inauguration ...

Hi guys

Sorry for being offline for the past 1 week or so. I hope you guys missed our updates.  We present to you the happenings of last Wednesday when CR and SR committees were inaugurated.

• Aniket, Jimmy and Smita presented the CR inauguration function. There was a Q&A session with the students where Aniket asked the students about their future job expectations so that they can interact with the appropriate persons. The session was quite interactive and useful.

• This was followed by the SR committee inauguration. They asked for 5 volunteers to give 5 widest possible smiles and they were snapped. There was also an exercise where students were asked to compliment any one from class by randomly picking. Students participation was great. They had a lots of fun.
