Does anybody say "God is omnipresent"? Sorry boss, I am too naive to under-

stand such a hefty concept. If there is anything I see everywhere, it is the element

called 'humor'. But the kind of mechanical lifestyle we are adapting ourselves to is mak-

ing us numb to experience the bliss of humor. Unfortunately, it so happens that sense

of humor reaches its peak towards the end of teenage, after which it simply goes

downhill and you hardly get back the magical ability to laugh at the situations posed

along the journey of life.

Wikipedia brings in a new perspective here. The word humor originates from

name of a Greek medicine system called 'humoral medicine', which emphasizes the bal-

ance of necessary body fluids namely 'humors' to con-

trol health and emotion, which implies that all those

who don’t have a sense of humor are really un-

healthy. We should pity those who say 'Life is too

short to take things lightly'. We should rather say -

you are not helping by suffocating yourself with the

complications. Take a chill pill, use the sense of humor to lighten the moment and

move on.

Such a serious note about humor will make even the essence of Fun non exist-

ent! We start closing the page thinking it is boring to even read about humor. So, lets

stop the boring write-up about humor and focus on the real fun !!! Did you really scroll

down all the way or just got fooled by the empty pages?? If you were actually fooled,

its okay, just relax. Think about it and laugh! You will not loose anything because of it.

This would be a good opportunity to tell you all about the fun we have while get-

ting SAMPADA done!!! Confusion, last minute hurry,

blame-game on others, imaginative stories as reasons

for delay… OMG, you will not believe with the stories

we hear or tell to others to save our face. “I have com-

pleted the article, will send it in 5 mins” - is the most

common answer and we also are certain that it will be

an hour or more before second call will get a reply—” I

am clicking the send button now” and we keep waiting

for the mail to be received in our inbox for eternity. The

third call gets an answer - “ Maybe the internet is

slow”. You would have observed few bad designs in the earlier editions. This is due to

the same kind of answers received from designers and amateurs in the team trying

their hand in designing. To stop the embarrassment, we were given a template design

by the experts, to be used unless they say so.

SAEINDIA UVCE DETAILS

Student life is the time when you are more alert to the presence of humor in almost every incident that happens around. Though such incidents are quite serious when they happen, but are good laughter pills later in life. As long as we rejoice the lighter note of the incident it is never offensive and of course we should know our limits. I am sure that each one you have at least one such story to be shared, may be even more funnier, so don't keep it to yourselves , share with friends and have your fun time. So this edition of SAMPADA is about “Laughter - Of the people; By the people; For the people” There is a short poem in kannada -

ನಗುವು ಸಹಜದ ಧರ್ಮ ನಗಿಸುವುದು ಪರಧರ್ಮ ನಗುವ ಕ ೇಳುತ ನಗುವುದತಿಶಯದ ಧರ್ಮ ನಗುತ ನಗಿಸುತ ನಗುತ ನಗುವಾ ವರವ ಮಿಗ ನೇನು ಬ ೇಡಿಕ ೊಳ ೇ ರ್ಂಕುತಿರ್ಮ ||

which nicely narrates the need for laughter. Let us live a happy and healthy life, let us try to bring a smile in others life. Hope you will enjoy this edition of SAMPADA and laugh out loudly !!!

A HUMOROUS YET MEMORABLE FIRST DAY

It was my first day of college and I was standing in the corridor not knowing whether to enter the

class or not! A senior came to me and showed me which was my class and asked me to feel free! I was

happy that the seniors were so friendly! Friendly they were but little did I know what was in store for

me; actually for us freshers. So I went in, totally innocent of their elaborate plan. I went in, and had my

first shock. In the actual seat allotment for the college it was mentioned as 60 students per batch. But the

class seemed a hundred strong; half an hour before the actual commencement of the class. And from

then on, it was just shock after shock. There weren't many seats but luckily I found myself a seat. The

funny part was, even after all the seats were filled, there were still about 20 more students who didn't

have a seat. Our seniors were sweet enough to lend us a few benches as a temporary arrangement. Final-

ly somehow everyone had a seat.

I was shy but my neighbour (my apparent classmate) started a conversation and broke the ice.

After the introduction, he sees my ID card and asks when I got it, later he mentioned that half of the

class hadn't got their ID cards. Then came our teacher for the very first

class, a guy actually, apparently just looking a bit older than us but he

called himself as Deepak, an ME student. Well, since it was our first class

of the course, all of us were quite confident that it was going to be a nice

curtain raiser. He wrote "Programming in C" in a sarcasm-intended font;

three words covered a fourth of the board. Were we being made fun of? I

didn’t know, nonetheless, we were all ears with full concentration waiting

for the first word of the topic he was going to utter. He asked a question

'What is C language'? From the last bench came a sarcastic answer 'C is a

programming language'. The teacher was furious stare and asked the student to stand up and answer. He

changed his answer to "C is a structured language" and the teacher let him go.

Just when he was about to start, a ringtone rang 'Nonononono Shiela, Shiela ki jawani...' and the

class burst into laughter. The teacher lost his temper and asked him to get out of the class! He literally

shouted at us to switch off our phones, not silent but switch off. Then the whole class switches off their

phones, tap tap tap... The student who had previously answered starts talking and the teacher asked him

to get out too. He was near the wall end and he arrogantly says 'Sir I can't' and this was my next shock.

When he asked to get up and come out of the bench, his friend who was sitting beside him covers his

path by bending forward and says 'sir, stomach ache i can't bend backward and hence i can't make way

for the other guy'. My neighbour whispers to me, 'Ee college alli ingeneno?' (meaning is this how this

college is?) The teacher started scolding everyone.

A parent who was there by some good luck went to complain to HOD about the behaviour of our

teacher. Then came the surprise! A senior rushes in and says something, I guess she said "prank over", I

don’t know! And more than half the students rush toward the teacher, lift him and start giving him birth-

day bums. It was all a prank, supposedly the tradition of welcoming freshers to our wonderful college!

And we did really enjoy the welcome. The teacher, the one who answered from the last bench, my

neighbour, and about half the class were my immediate seniors. But now it was our seniors' turn to wor-

ry! The HOD was coming. One senior climbed the podium and addressed us. She explained that this was

the tradition in UVCE and started convincing us that it wasn't ragging, it was just a prank. And in came

the HOD. Our seniors started pacifying him that it was tradition etc. He then asked us if they ragged us.

Luckily everyone said no and the HOD let our seniors go. Our seniors explained that the classes don't

start until two weeks from the actual date of start.

But the bright side, was our seniors. They were pretty helpful and told us how to go about with

the routines of the college, how we had to spend more on xerox than on fees! But at the end of the day,

I'm happy that I joined here!

VU SAMMILANA

Sammilana - as the name translates to good a get together, is an idea that we have been thinking

along for quite some time. A get-together of small-proportions aimed at presenting few challenges to the

alumni that could potentially do good to UVCE. All the challenges we plan to bring to the forth will be

realistic and can be implemented with a basic push.

We all know that you always had and always will have an idea through which you could do

something good for the college, but lacked a platform. We are keen to intervene here and provide that

platform for you.

And VisionUVCE (VU) Sammilana is one such event where you can start making in-roads into

doing something for the college where we will list out the challenges faced by college and you can as

well decide by starting to pitch in. It is a discussion amongst like-minded alumni and faculty of UVCE.

As for the itinerary for the day, we have planned for two panel discussions that places perspectives of

alumni into the table and also a mirror of situation within the campus. This event is all about emphasiz-

ing, how small things can make a big difference within the campus and the role that each alumni can

play in it.

All in all it is an event for UVCE where we can try to understand what can be done from our end

individually to help the college in our own ways and the support required for it.

Date - 25th May, 2014

Venue - Senate Hall, Central College

Time - 4PM to 7PM.

A summary of activities - Panel Discussions between alumni and faculty over the issues on the

table, VisionUVCE - till date, Open House discussions on the current state at the campus, Photo-

sessions over the High Tea.

You can reach out to us at contact@visionuvce.in and feel free to voice your opinions or ques-

tions. We will be glad to answer/consider them all. And please do also mark your dates for this event

and spread the word amongst the fellow alumni.

Thanks,

Team VisionUVCE

Ever tested your courage at UVCE?

No, it’s not what you think.

Not the adrenaline rushes or roadies or any of the events at the fest,

or it is playing the fool in the class in front of the lecturers or friends.

Step on the tail of one of the two dogs that made UVCE their home. Now that's what I call courage.

I did it. And I know how it is. Quite an unforgettable experience. Well, that’s the boasting part of it.

I always thought these dogs were lonely, reserved, quiet and especially lazy since they are in UVCE too;

Until that day…

I never realized I stepped on the dog's tail which was on the ground;

Until it immediately stood up and looked at me like a hound.

I freaked out at its growling sound,

And my fear went out of bound.

I still wonder why I can’t run like that in a running competition.

I ran like my pants were on fire;

But the dog ran faster because it didn’t wear pants…: P

Right from the main gate till the central college mathematics department,

I ran panting with pants in my hand, and the dog ran barking with tongue out of its mouth.

The dog went nuts and I became Bolt.

And I was also bold;

For me, this experience is worth gold;

And when people read it they will catch cold

And remember it until they grow old

Till they have no one to hold.

And till they go out of this world.

This is not toy story; this is my dog story.

CAMPUS SAYS

Being a twin is always fun! But in UVCE it turns out to be even better! Last year

holi marked to be the proof for this hilarious incident involving my twin! As usual

we didnt get a holiday for holi while my sister who studies in the "school of engi-

neering" got a delightful holiday! Planning on making full use of this free day, she

planned on coming to UVCE to pick me up so that we could go for a girly shopping

day out. Only that she didn't imagine in her wildest dreams that she would be

masked in holi colours as my extremely friendly class mates mistook her to be me!!

- Diya B S, 4th Sem ECE

Well! Everyday we encounter with many incidents of humor, be it at home or in class or with friends

which sure can crack you up every time you remember them! Here are some of the students telling us

“What their funniest moment in UVCE” was!

19

I'm a guy whose Kannada is not very good. I can just barely understand it and

I'm starting to learn the language from my classmates. Once what happened is that in

Electrical lab, the lab incharge told me to go and pick up an Ammeter in Kannada and

for some reason I thought he asked me to pick up wires. I bought back wires and I got

shouted back at. He said it again. Ammeter! This time, I got him a Voltmeter.

Eventually he said something long in Kannada which obviously I didn’t understand and

it made everyone else in the lab laugh. Embarrassing at first but truly remains a funny

UVCE experience.

- Aman Kedia, 2nd Sem Civil

Physically exhausted, mentally high spirited, with sky limit of hopes, all these

hammered within stood a young merry boy alone at Majestic (heart of Bangalore)

wondering how to reach his self chosen UVCE. I looked puzzled being in a new city,

much hyped Namma Bengaluru, butterflies in stomach!! I asked a guy who was

standing beside me, "How to reach KR Circle from here?". The guy scratching his

head said "Illiro yella bus KR Circle ge hogutte".

The answer puzzled me more. I boarded a random bus, got down at the next

stop and there I stood gazing the mother of traffic jammed circle!! Plenty of questions were revolving in

my head. "Where's UVCE?" I asked a Samaritan, "Whats that?", sped a question back. "Visvesvaraya

college sir" I said. "Munde yavdo red building ide, ade irbeku".

I looked startled and passed a urinated subway and reached the college entrance. I had a 360 de-

gree view where an array of 5 dogs, dry leaves and flying pigeons welcomed me!!

Okay, this welcome was surprising and "Is this a college? I asked myself". Anticipations about

how my college would look had high standards. That was the "COLLEGE AT FIRST SIGHT FOR

ME".

But now I would rather ask myself, what more can I ask for?

Greenery. Fun. Soul friends. Laughs. Smiles. Empty class rooms. Memories are made here.After

nearly 3 years now I feel this defines a College. Viva la UVCE!!

- Swagath V C, 6th Sem ISE

As an alumni, I would like to share an experience with the current students. I was asked by the

“then” second year students to enact as a ‘lecturer’ to their juniors who had come newly to the college. I

kept couple of lecturers informed, so that I wont get into trouble later !! One Saturday, I entered the

classroom of First Year students and told them that there is going to be a new Subject called—”Social

Behavior” which was introduced by Bangalore University to all the Degree classes and there would be

new time-table put up accordingly. I started the class and it went on for an hour with no one actually

knowing that it was a prank.. I wrapped it up for the day and left the classroom. I even forgot about it

completely in my routine work. I got the shocker of my life the next Saturday, when I received a mes-

sage saying—” The first year students are waiting for your class” !! I could not believe

it and told them to disperse for the day as I was still at home… But, the following

week, to continue the prank, I went and took the class and spoke about ethics and

stuff.. After their internals, I too conducted an internal within the class in form of small

games. I did not tell them that it was a prank as both of us enjoyed it for 4-5 classes.

After the first semester exams, when couple of them approached me asking -”Sir, will

you continue the classes in the next semester too?”, it was again my turn to collapse !!
