Alright , here’s the NITC special post. The usual disclaimers apply.. This might seem extremely irrelevant for all Non-NITC/CREC visitors to my blog. Date of visit : Jan – 6, 2008 Quite a lot of things have changed since my last visit.. As I remarked in my last post, I was here for attending the wedding reception of my batch-mate, Ibrahim.. The first sight that kind of ignited the old memories… (1) Mamachan’s Ruins è http://picasaweb.google.com/ajithprasadb/NITC/phot o#5154167544479834402 They have moved a little bit ahead (2) The New Mamachan’s location è http://picasaweb.google.com/ajithprasadb/NITC/photo#5154167565954670898 After this, I stepped into the campus through the rear gate (3) This place hasn’t changed much..Isn’t it ? http://picasaweb.google.com/ajithprasadb/NITC/photo#5154167596019441986 Buildings everywhere!.. I lost count of the number of hostels that the college has..There a new PG hostel, old PG modifie...

Another one from our B-tech batch losing his bachelor status.. My project partner (a.k.a partner in fraud ) Ibrahim getting married on Jan-6.. He's special in many ways.. -- Only student in perhaps the entire NITC history to have his home nearer than hostel from class.( his home is couple of plots behind Mamachan) -- Even with that proximity , he took a room in hostel with the intention of studying :-) -- He studied quite a bit..And at the end of 4th year, he became an expert in FIFA-2000 :-) . -- NITC Football captain with a rather awesome victory streak in Calicut league :-). -- Now enrolled in M-tech @IITK, he aspires to come back to NITC and join there as a lecturer few years down the lane..I sincerely wish he succeeds in that. ( Hopefully he won't read this post :-) ) His wedding ( or rather reception ) gives me another opportunity to visit NITC Campus..I'm off to Calicut on coming saturday eve... Last time I visited college was in Feb-07 for Raagam .. Heard ...

This is about a venture started by two of my seniors ( Jeswin & Hemchand ) of NITC( erstwhile CREC ) - 02 batch. The venture is http://www.skillda.com . Its a professional networking site like Linked In.. However,I think they'll have to progress much to be anywhere near Linked In. If this attains a good critical mass, I guess they can think of selling this to Naukri/Monster etc ( just a personal opinion ) .. Anyway, worth a look right now..They have done the web-interface reasonably well and its pretty fast...Though don't expect much on the job/career front from that now.. But definitely worth a look :-) Another venture owned by my immediate senior Zerin, an IIML passout is http://www.indigoedge.com/ ..This has been there for a while. Interesting Times !!!! Ajith

Couldn't resist posting about this.. Got a mail in NITC alumni group about the 'code of conduct' published recently in NITC..The document link is this Some quotable quotes from the pdf .. 1. " Students are expected to spend their free time in the Library/Reading Room. They shall not loiter along the verandahs or crowd in front of the offices or the Campus roads. Students should refrain from sitting on places such as parapets, stairs, footpaths etc" -- Sitting in Raj-path & "looking around" used to be one of the favorite time pass of NITC'ians (or CREC'ians ) from long time back itself.. I wonder who's going to enforce this.. Are they going to appoint someone who'll chase out the students from Raj-Path in a typical school master style ? 2. "NITC Campus is a “Smoking free Campus”. " -- I didnt know that :) ..I'm not a smoker, but I really don't find anything wrong in someone smoking within their confines...
