Morning Bath

It’s winter time…with mornings the coldest, so the thought of taking a bath itself gives chills to many...plus the unavailability of hot water makes it much worse…but WHY is there this problem ? as water Solar heaters ARE installed on the every roof the reason is this…

Who will clean it??

Snake in OAC

Everyone, please take special care while going outside now days. I was saved today from stepping over a Naag (about 4 feet long, healthy) by about 5cm to 10 cm gap in OAC while coming out of the larger shade. Just about 2-3 seconds later, it was having its fangs open at a bird nearby in full anger.

Released in favor of AITians.

Janmashthmi celebrated in AIT

The Spiritual Club organised the celebration of Janmashthmi (श्री कृष्ण जन्माष्टमी) as every year, a legacy of AIT. The celebration started with the Saptami (सप्तमी) on August 21 and went on till the legendary birth of Lord Krishna, by midnight. Bhajans, keertans etc. were organised with grand decoration.

Pass out seniors were also invited and witnessed the retained culture of AIT towards spirituality. At 0000-hrs, prasaad was distributed along with charanamrit (चरणामृत).

Besides, non-social and cheap activities also took place like stealing of slippers / sandals.

On 22 August (अष्ठमी), a special lunch was arranged in the Badminton Court, as every year inviting the teachers also. The mess was closed on this occasion.

Candlelight march at AIT

A huge support for Jan Lokpal Bill was seen in Army Institute of Technology, Pune on August 17, 2011. The entire strength of about 1500 students came forward to participate in gathering followed by the candlelight march. The students waved the national flag with the patriotic slogans. The organizers Sunil, Nitin, Vinit, Ritambhara, Prabhat, Narendra , Digvijay  and HariSwaroop along with other seniors took a further step in spreading the awareness regarding what the Jan Lokpal Bill actually is.

Participants expressed their protest against the increasing corruption by wearing black drapery and bands on their arms. They fasted for the whole day to show their support to team Anna, the crusaders against corruption. The administration and faculty of the college also encouraged the students for the good cause. This also instigated a spark in the hearts and minds of the spectators.

My Cube in AITians

The very popular 'virtual money' making website (and eventually convert it into real money) is getting popular in AITians. You simply need to register in the website and share your own creation (drawings, paintings, poems etc) for selling and buy others similar intellectual property. It will be in the forms of cubes. To check the site, click here.

• MyCube is a "social exchange", a place where you can exchange information, ideas and content with others yet retain full ownership of what you share, control who you share it with, and determine your own terms of exchange.
• MyCube uses its own virtual currency: "Cubes". These can be used to purchase and sell content. Cubes are tied to the Singapore dollar (S$), with a value of 100 cubes to S$1.

As the site is in beta version, you need an activation code to register (and earn money). For your help, we are providing an activation code.

This will enable for you also to register the same and propagate your own creations online and that too worth money. In addition to this, if selected, you may even get a training given by the company out of the nation. Enjoy the cubes.

Comp Pracs soft copies

The TE's of Computers have made an online collection of all the practicals' soft copies for the use of coming next generations (especially for taking print-outs in the days of submissions). These pracs are available at the following link.

AIT Comp . blogspot . com

This will save a lot of time searching for the soft copies by students every year in submission and exam days. Though not guaranteed at present (because the work is in progress and is at its initial stages) students are uploading only the fully working pracs. In case any prac found not working, they have also enabled even anonymous comment facility to report error so as to rectify for future uses.

Cooperation is expected from all compies from FE to BE.

The TE's request for the current BE's to kindly submit their pracs also so as they can also be uploaded.

Earlier, this blog was named as AIT Dighi, but due to some technical snam in blogger dot com, it was deleted and now made again with the name, AIT Comp.

Fire of fines.. Once again??

A list of 25 most severe Bio-metric punch defaulters have been launched recently by the administration. It includes 13 SEs, 7 TEs and 5 BEs as per the list put up in OBH. Earlier, about 60 to 70 students were in previous list with fine of Rs. 200/- each. Those students were not given the mess fee refund unless they presented the 'fine paid' slip of the BOB.

This time, the fine has been incremented by Rs. 300/- making a sum total of Rs. 500/- each student. And if this time, the fine is not paid soon, these 25 students will be made Hostel Out. Indeed a threat at the end of session when exams are approaching.

Fun Fact:
Those students having any LGs may go for the Hostel Out option keeping in mind that almost all the submissions are soon to be over this week. Next is they just need to come to college only to give the exam. :) lolz.. Its only 20 days left without any classes.

The Fan Drop: Serious issue for AIT Hostels

Yesterday, at about 10:30 PM, a ceiling fan dropped on the floor in working state rotating at full speed, and that too without a warning.

The remains of the fan

The incident happened in 009-B of OBH. Just 5-10 seconds prior to the fall of the fan, the residents of the room, Nitin Grewal and Raj Kumar were standing beneath it talking, whereas the third room mate, Manjeet Nandal was on the other side of the room on his own bed. This could have been a major accident with even a loss of life, had the fan dropped on the head of someone.

The incident was immediately informed to the attendent present in the hostel at that moment. When no response came in return, except a consolation to the loss of property, the incident was baught into light to the Rector of Hostel, Mr. Roderigues in presence of Warden, Mr. Shekhawat. An immediate action was taken. The warden told that this is a major problem and the similar incidents have also occurred twice in NBH.

To be noted that the flank 'Groud-B' was recently repaired and all the setup of fans and other electric instruments were recently done few months back. Yet, the fan dropped. All the three room mates had to spend the entire warm night without fan, and with mosquitoes.

No more a CEILING Fan, but a FLOOR fan

This could have led to a major injury. Today morning, the electrician came to the victims' room and inspected the reason. He told that the nut and bolt used was of very low grade and poor quality. We were shown the broken bolt and compared with that of bolt which was recommended (but not used). The broken bolt was almost half in diameter than that of recommended.

Are you safe? May be your fan also drop tomorrow? Who is responsibile? Be a responsible for your own life. Demand for a thorough check for all fans' bolts in the hostels and Adm. blobk. It is for your own safety.

Its not a question of cost of a bolt. Its not about the damage of a fan. Its not a matter of laugh. Its not a joke. Its a question of your life, your career. Take it seriously.

Hurry!! Fee refund today

The mess refund worth INR 3010/- is being paid today, i.e. April 11, 2011. The students who have not given the account numbers of their bank may collect the DD from Mr. Rodrigues, Rector, OBH, AIT.

To be noted that the students who has their names on the notice board regardng any kind of pending fine to be paid to AIT must get the "fine paid" reciept first, before approaching the Rector for the DD.

The DDs will be distributed to the students only between 3 PM to 4:30 PM only. So Hurry!!

As if AIT won the world cup

After India won the ICC World Cup 2011, AITians celebrated the moments with pride. A dream came true to see how world cup seems for those who were born after 1983.

It was a great news for the nation. Well done India. Congrats. We are proud to be Indians.

Fun Facts: Most of the team captains whose name initialised with 'S' were out of the world Cup. For example: Strauss, Sammy, Smith, Shakib and Shahid. Hence it could be predicted that Sangakara would also loose the Cup. And India Won.
