B2k3

This one's for the four wonderful years together, cheers to B2k3! :)

One name, many hues. 110 odd students, each with a different story to tell. This is the story of B2k3, where bhasad was a religion duly practiced; its spirit and unity unmatched...when challenged they fought as one.

The year was 2003, when we first met...newbies fresh out of school, slightly rattled , rearing to go, wary of each other...starting out on a new journey together.
On our way there were the add-ons and the plug-ins: the sutta and the daaru, the trips to Trips, H 'n' D and Samrat, the early mornings in the village, the Hasty Tasty rituals, the disappointing finals, the AOC and CS nightouts, the 9-12 shows, the thefts from the canteen by our master con artists, the “special” hindi lessons to the southies, the “one-night stands” before the exams, the YM and Orkut cult, the birthday “bashes”, the strife between PAM entertainments and ALAN productions, the MBA vs BTech war, S Ray’s obsession with attendance and punctuality, AV’s fudged-up “sumanis”, Rahul Mishra ki “yaar”i, the Jogesh Korkodam episodes, the CMB-Babulal-Siddiqui first year trio….

And a glimpse at a few of the main leads who made our under-grad time all the more interesting! Sid's special philosophy lessons for anyone and everyone (un)willing to lend a ear; the preaching’s of Pag Floyd; Pandey's antics; our dear Sir John; Shilpi’s walk; Bhavish's Maggie; Parai’s padhai; Venkat and TC’s exceptional wit; Shah's infinite PJ capacity; N Sid's expert view on anything and everything; Rajani's guts; Pal's drama; Appy's emotional speeches once drunk; VKMeena’s sincerity; AshuNan’s logic bombs; CK's Pawan Kalyan fixation; Manaj the mimic; Suchi’s Frooti; Rocket’s ceaseless laughs; Lashkar's mysterious source of enthu; Nag Baba's trademark red jacket and black trackpants; Ramya’s split personality; the Don’s majestic presence; Nahata’s naivety; Robo’s ever-extending deadlines; Bhaiya’s awesome rote prowess; Body’s football fan-following; the tall-taller-tallest cricket team; Baya’s on-court meditation ... that and many more, all special in their own way.
We gave the college its first open Tech fest, the Trinetra Webcasting Service, a couple of national and international prizes, a few patents, an excellent bakar culture...and well that’s it!

Four years down the line some are achievers, some wastrels; there were the go-getters and there were the back-benchers; the prof's pets and the rogues; the hard workers and the lazy-lumps; the bakar crowd and the zealous junta; the movers and the shakers....but we go out of our alma mater together, our heads held high... to conquer the world, to carve out a niche of our own!

This is the culmination of our years of togetherness, co-existence, rivalry, intimacy, communion, merriment, hard work…it all finally comes to an end.
Its time for the adios and the ciaos! But we say good-bye till we meet again in another world; in another place...but the B2k3 spirit will always remain!
