whatever you're going through, its not worth dying.

swine flu, nibes and chowmein


so. yes. old news first.

swine flu came to manipal. yes.
people got infected.yes.
a student got infected. yes.
lots of post graduates got infected. yes.

did we get a holiday?



umm.



no.

the problem with medical colleges, is, that the dean is also a doctor.

and theyre not scared easily, be it swine flu or amy winehouse or even asia sarkar.


vibes 09

the poster for it shows joker(from the now famous batman movie) in a foggy background.
writing with lipstick :

vibes so serious...?
(seriously dudes. just because it rhymes doesnt mean it fits!)


as usual, with each year, the college fest t shirt gets worse and worse.

I just dont get it.
they put an inverted color MJ oh the back, show an umbrella a rain cloud and other crappy things and wrote something equating vibes with why(dude. just because it rhymes..... no wait. it doesnt even rhyme dammit!) that I dont remember(and I dont even wanna!)
that seems like a potential success from theory.
but they managed to make even that really really sucky.
and then tried to sell it for 225 rs.

anyway.
when a blank page was passed around with the following written on it : names for vibes T shirt

the batchmates came up with replies:

ugh!
argh!
awwwww.
not needed.
NAD
micheal jackson?!!
you aint got my size, I aint got your money
cant I just borrow yours?
no
it sucks!
T shirt- WHAT TSHIRT?!!!!
WTF??

and my personal favourite:

meanies!



a total of one person was actually willing to buy that t shirt.

you could have made the t shirt pink, drawn flowers on it, written gay revolution on it, and it would still sell more that what they tried.

I mean, come on.
even if you just wrote vibes 09 on the front, kmc manipal at the back people would buy it in dozens.

uh-oh. perhaps I said that too loudly.

they did that.

with one modification.

they put a huge line in front of vibes, now making it nibes (no, vibes?)

sigh.



ingenuity and good business sense:



not yours.definitely.


chowmein

have now made roommade chowmein.
which actually doesnt taste too bad.
so that, now increases the spectrum of my self sustenance cooking by a good huge margin.

thats one small step for man.
one giant leap for hostelfoodkind.






sigh.

    hey even we at our not-so-fancy hospie got a week off..

    a week!! but thats prolly coz our dean was too busy fending off the anti-bmc vultures..not rubbing it in tho' ;)

    in our hostels, i hear they stick to maggie on hotplate..so chowmein is a huge step up..

    and yes, college fest t-shirts do get worse every year..

    ours had crosses and noughts replaced by trees and factories with trees winning..it was supposed to be for the going green thing..

    then they had this hideous monstrosity next year..

    ohhh. Manipal college fest t-shirts have a way of going wrong. Its habit maybe, or probably tradition!

    deluded,

    My lack of comprehension of 'Swine flu's' nomenclature.

    Has it killed swines in India? What will swines call it, if they start dying contracting them from us, humans?


    Vibes

    Now I get what Stupidosaur meant by your fixation with the gay-movement!

    Yes, the T-shirt, as far as I could gather, totally sucks! Also the 'vibes so serious?'

    Also a small suggestion, the name of your college fest would be much more interesting, if you replace only one letter in it.

    Vices

    Imagine, with each passing year, the fest would only sound more enticing.

    Vices 10

    Vices 11

    Vices 12...

    Vices 99

    Then, you could change the name of the fest, provided one or the other kind of flu doesn't make you a piece of vital statistics. ;)

    Your culinary accomplishments:

    One small step for man; one giant rip for the restaurant-waala's!

    And deluded, I find you more interesting! ;)
