1 Lassu
2 Baikait, Chaapu, Bhokaal
Vishal Sharma  |  Added idea  "Arbit"  |  1 year ago
At times when absurd, senseless, idiotic, ... and, of course, arbitrary seemed a bit too long to fit in, "arbit" came in handy. It made a good qualifier to many other colorful words ... arbit funda, arbit kholu, etc. What an arbit idea, sir ji!
Rajat Malhotra  |  Added idea  "Baikait, Chaapu, Bhokaal "  |  1 year ago
Ya, I remember some...these were used as positive terms meaning someone outstanding. Anybody who was very good in something was given these names. But the exciting part was people started remembering them by these names.

Vineet Dwivedi  |  Added idea  "BTP was given a weightage of a course"  |  1 year ago
I mean the Btech project BTP, the one year project in the end was given a weightage of any other normal course like a BCA or a MCA there, and students used to start these projects in the end of 2nd semester when only 2-3 weeks were remaining,...
sachin lakharia lakharia  |  Added idea  "1st semester was a dead one "  |  1 year ago
The BTP project was to be completed in the last year with two semesters, but nobody would be doing nothing in the 1st semester, and on top of it if the faculty would give less grades below than A B then nobody were interested in doing it at...

1 Antaragni - Chaar Din Ki Chandni
2 Become A Lassu
Arvind Agrawal  |  Added idea  "Become A Lassu"  |  1 year ago
IIT was never short of lassu's. One can find lassu's here n there. What to do, this was the side effect of less girls in the campus. But this thing really helped to cope up with the problem - Scarcity Of Girls
Devesh Raghubanshi  |  Supported idea  "Bird Watching - Naveen Market"  |  1 year ago
Well said Rahul, bird watching used to be a hobby for many of us....

1 Make The Road Easy
2 Decrease Application Fees
Shahnawaz Islam  |  Added idea  "Introduce Courses that girls want"  |  1 year ago
I'm not an IITian but it seems obvious to me that --its all about demand-supply ratio. I studied sociology and the ratio was like 20:1 in favor of girls. Surely,the subjects in high demand among girls can be identified by the management. If there...
Devesh Raghubanshi  |  Added idea  "Set Examples"  |  1 year ago
IIT's should show make others aware what are the achievements girls have achieved. They should make sure that candidate passing out should help in spreading the word that girls are equal to boys they can also crack the nut.

I am currently studying in Medical college and i must tell you these old stupid teachers who just concentrate on theory part, these teachers came out of an age where there was incompetency;no entrances;add it to caste based reservation with no...
Surajit Basu  |  Added idea  "our idea of honour cannot accept failure"  |  1 year ago
increasingly we cannot accept failure; and in IITK, there is probably more of it than before; "in India the izzat factor, which in practice forbids me to lose my status, my dignity, in front of others. When however that is in fact lost and the...

Hi ,I would like to share the following... This information is narrated by a guy form IIT K the story goes in this way...... I am from 1980-82 M.Tech IME batch - stayed in Hall IV.   - There was a 10 pointer who had a horse inside the campus. When people objected about it, IIT/K took a stand that it is fine to have a horse as others have bikes.   - I learnt from Dr. Sadagopan the concept of money. He used to say ' Money is the last thing to be worried about as it is the only thing that is available with everyone including a begger.'   - Within few months (1981), I got a job at BHEL, Trichy (near my home town). I decided to quietly leave IIT/K, packed my stuff and was heading towards the rai...

This is satisfying and good at first but then the after effects can make us feel terrible. Here are few tips on 'after fest diet' 1. Control your sweet cravings and brush your teeth when you feel like having sweets. 2. Eat fruits , loads of them. 3. Get throught the guilt of eating and this will do a super trick which you cannot even imagine. 4. Excercise a bit 5. Drink lots of water 6. Have juices or nuts when hungry at work. and last do not even check out pictures of delicious sweets or you will end up having some.
