ug4’s day out - Batch Picnic/Trip
I was not in the mood to go to the trip. Reasons - We already had one last week, have to show something to Prof PJN on monday, coz of Priyanka, coz the master plan has faild and coz I am moody. I tried to bunk but failed. But I could not dare to refuse.
[ almost all of us ]
Master Plan bole to -
When we are on our way, few guys enter our bus and say that they are naxalites and would release us after the government release their guy. A hijack drama. Unfortunately we could not work it out. 
Ok I landed into the bus with a plan to check the remaining (some 12) scripts of Software Technologies midsem. We were 62 guys. See the pic below. We started from IIIT at 6am.
Thats what I started with. In the bus after there was enough of light (after 1 hr) I started correcting the papers. Also there was not much fun going around.
[ dedicated to the job ]
Our first stop was XXXXXXXXX temple. I guess more like a khandhar(barren building). Someone said it had 1000 pillars. It wasn’t so big. Amal got bumps for asking us to spot pillor no 121 we discovered that there were only 119 pillars.
[ no comments ]
Next stop was XXXXXXXXXX temple. Another khandhar. We chilled out there for some time in the premises of the temple. We played ‘dodge-ball’ there for some time. After I was out I continued correcting the papers.
[the buffet]
We continued our journey to the XXXXXXXXXXX lake. At the lake we started with our lunch. It was a great lunch, a buffet feeling. Only the place around was limited. And we could not spread out because of monkey menace.
[and the monkey menace]
I didnot like the lake, it was dirty like hell. So I dicided not to go to the shore. Also there was no boating (self driven). Journey in the big boat and that too near the shore was no fun. But ok I decided to give it a try.

It was real fun. We took one round and decided to take another. So without landing we continued our second round. Unethical coz others were waiting for their turn. This round was great. The fun started when XXXXXXXXXXX threw a fistfull of water on others. It was only few drops. But then Deepika and AC also joined. And the next second everyone on the window started at their top pace. We were stopped by the driver when he said that its going to itch. It looked like, the water was so dirty. But then we had tasted the blood. Without bothering about the warning we continued throwing water on eachother. We all were drentched totally.

Then we came back to XXXXXXXXXX temple. We started playing dodge-ball in temple garden. Then pass the ball - I mean when Shetty whistles the guy having the ball has to do something. Then tambola. I had real hard luck at the game.

We started our return journey at 6pm. And like always it was the most beautiful part of the day. We started with quiz - related to our life in IIIT, and very few general ones. I was collecting the answers and deciding the winner. I was confused a lot, I mean the guys shouted like anything. This was fun, everyone was participating. After the quiz was over small groups were formed, 3 grounps actually - front bus, middle bus and the rear bus. Reason being the bus was too deep to involve everyone in a single activity, and the voice could not reach the full bus. I was in the rearbus. I came up with an idea of playing the game of dumb-charades on our students server passwords. Everyone liked the idea so we started playing. It was real fun. Too exciting. People shared their most important passwords which they have saved for years. It was like whoever is able to make others guess his password will win the prize. Timelimit one minute. Sorry guys, I am making the passwords public.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX was the first to act. He successfully won it for his password XXXXXXXXXXX. It was followed by XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and lost. I lost the game for my password ‘ifeelgood’. Others who won were - patnaik/xxxxxxxpatke, suman/thisismyxxxxxxxxxxx, swati/xxxxisgod, maliha/blackxxxxx, devi/sanxxxti, XXXXXXXXXx/XXXXXXXXXXX and the loosers were rakesh/XXXXXXX, sanyam/nooxxxxan, dp/venusxxxxx.
We had a tea break at XXXXXXXXXXXXX. It was 9pm. The tea was real good. Few of us had our dinner.
After the break I joined the front group in their non-stop songs at full volume. We had great singers like piyush, parivesh, rakesh etc trying to make it nonstop. And everyone else helped making it loud.
After some time I again joined the rear group, they were playing antrakshri, like singing a song starting from any word picked from others song. No thinking time. Just after one teams stops singing the countdown from 10 starts. Though there was lots of cheating going around, like pls sing again, this song is being repeated etc. So no one really lost the game. But girls managed well. It was between boys and girls. They were 3 only. Swati was like a unending collection of real good songs.
We finally reached IIIT at 11pm with the slogans of “ug4 rocks” and “hip hip hurray!”
Only 3 scripts were left unchecked after the trip. multiprocessing though may sound cheap to you. TA on a picnic.
[ multiprocessing = checking copies + playing tamboola + enjoying tea]
[ zooooom ]
UG4 ROCKS. GDIT2K1 ROCKS.
** XXXXXXXXXX => dont remember, will fill it later.
