Major, Minor or SIMC event?

Some people understand a little late in life that they got lime juice mixed with soda powder instead of salt, received 22 carrot instead of 22 carat for their wedding etc.

Similarly, Midhun also came to know of certain truths when he checked the Gtalk list of friends, which reads in the following order.

Sahil

Zehen@SIMC

Swetha S

National Alumni Meet 2009

Sushant Kamble

HR Meet 2010

Faisal Siddiqui

Sports Media Meet 2010

Kausik

FOC 2010

Nitin Kanhekar

DAM 2010

& just as he was about to sign out, a junior came online

Ipsita

GCMC 2010

Event Management in the name of an MBA ! ;)

It is heard that the next year event schedule is already charted in the event-fool college.

New Instructions are written below.

All first letters with 'N' to be changed to 'G'. Else, strictly add a G-Spot to the existing names!

Eg: If it is FOC, change it to GFOC, Zehen to Gehen, DAM to GDAM etc !

This is done by keeping in mind the tradition of going Global or Glocal from local. As a courtesy, the holed Globe, which lay in place of the bathroom tiled fountain, is replenished near a YOU CAN SEE place.

New Global Idiot is also being launched after the hype around the movie '3 idiots'. One out of the three is already identified by the college students. Once the other two are also found, students are sure to receive amazing prizes in the form of a 'Smiling pen holder', 'Rainbow shirts convertible to bedsheets', 'A 24 hour switched on radio with 24 hours non-stop nonsense' etc etc.

So, rush in your entries before Midhun grabs the opportunity !

P.S: A new classification of event known as the "SIMC event" is being incorporated along with the "Major Event" & "Minor event" taught in colleges around the G'lobe.

These are defined in Wikipedia as follows: A set of happenings, which has no definite outcome or purpose, but at least gets done shabbily, with an amount called seed capital.

Engineering a Media Plan

The advertising student hailing from a 'Boys-must-be-engineers' family gets his dream job as a copywriter.

An overwhelmed HE calls up his mom and speaks as follows.

"Mom, I am a copywriter"

"Beta, why don't you write it on your own, at least now?

The chest full of proud loses a little of air.

"Mom, what I meant is copywriting as a job."

"Beta, I too had an intelligent friend who but copied all his life and wrote, only to have lost it all one fine day, when caught."

"Please understand Mom. This is a position in advertising which are adorned by people like me who have an ability to play with words."

"No Beta, even if you have to play with words, please do not copy"

"Phewww... I am quitting & going to the news channel"

"Ok son. God bless"

After a few weeks of landing up as an anchor, a plum position in some popular news channel, mom rings him up.

Being busy with work, son picks the phone and says

"Mom, am 'breaking news'. I will call later"

(Suddenly, mom shouts out loud and angrily)

"You break whatever you want to, but unlike in college, don't call later & ask for money as fine"

The phone goes mute for a while like a temporary Doordarshan blackout !

Internship extension stories

After a long time in college, suddenly the students have become absolute professionals, really understood from their status messages and some of the mails received in my inbox.

Some case studies

A journalism trainee

"Dear Council, I will come on the reopening day, just to write the exam and will leave for Mumbai as the news bulletins aren't happening without me."

Even after 4 days, the same soul is on campus and the "DD" news continues without an issue.

On a query, the answer is - "The peon shortened his leave and is back" ;)

In short - The intern needn't prepare the cup of tea anymore ! :P

An advertising trainee

Status message - " I miss my WORKSTATION"

Oops ! Suddenly made us feel that she was in search of work and reached a station selling work ! akin to a Gas station.

Another PR trainee

"Going back to Mumbai to finish unfinished business"

My Gwad ! Looks as if he is just hired by OBLaden & AQaeda PR Associates.

An AV-ian

They need me till the end of December.

Why?

Dude, the Director fell ill. As they were too impressed with my work, am told to complete the movie ! :P

Overheard: "Regil, I am coming on time to the campus as my company is now equipped to work even without me ! ;)"

The Photo-grapher !

A sorry state of affairs

The faculty who teaches basic photography to future MEDIA professionals clicked a job for the council, & professionally for the PLACEMENT BROCHURE. Ultimately more work for the students of the council !

An example here is with Swetha's picture.

Do check the identity card !

I just do not understand why we Indians still hold on for the mediocre when we can get better talent. The education in India is pathetic. We still treat the disease without investing any time or money to investigate the real cause of the disease.

PITY !

Batman & Batwoman

The junior batman of UG shares the AV database with ‘Smiling Assasin’ alone as the senior batwoman ‘supposedly’ shares it along with a password with ‘You Can See’ only.

The truth being that the batwoman has nothing but excuses to share. Better if the batman can mail in the excel-lent sheet and get the AV some jobs!

Good work UG on getting all your 120 to organizations where the seniors couldn’t even reach.

Winners at SIMC !

New event at FOC 2010

Going in sync with the selected theme of war/battle at FOC, the events team at SIMC has decided to introduce a unique, yet interesting game called spam-o-war. Though it is sure that Sidkid will steal the thunder after being the uncrowned winner from ages, Debunk yaar will be a close competitor.

With awards ranging from spamming of simc.edu's and threats to spam gmail.com's, sidkid had had a long stint as Mr. Spammer at many an online event conducted by booboo.in and paapaa.com. His concepts are unique, inclusive of threatening juniors, batchmates and his classmates with venomous writing skills, though leaking in his pants at the thought of Manipur naxalites. His vacation from Manipur footprints, leaving the three girls to fend for themselves is a story of grit & courage or 'GUTS' according to his lingo.

Essay Writing competition.

The Director at a certain Symbiosis Institute won the essay writing competition held online by spamindia.com, headed by the whizkid CEO Mr. Sidkid.
Later Mr. Sidkid, acknowledged the fact that it was a big error on the judging panel to award the Director, as they mistook his SIGNATURE in the email to be the conclusive paragraph of the essay. The award now goes to one Mrs. Swanal of brandswasted.com, again for her signature !

Kidkid and Sidkid

A few SIMCians are appointed in a corporate house.

First day - 'We welcome to the family....blah blah blah.. Your email id is sidkid@kidkid.com

To the second one - Your id is - 'dumbkid@spoilkid.com

(As eager and silly as the kid he is, opens the mail box)

The first mail he finds is from the CEO

Dear staff,

As you may have heard, bright minds over at kidkid removed “Reply to All” button to eliminate bureaucracy and inefficiency.

We developed four Mail toolbar configurations for different departments... blah blah blah…

Our sidkid who is a just pass out from the cameras and videos of SIMC cannot resist his habit of simc.edu and clicks the 'Reply to all' button which will be available for a few more dying days.

The reply goes - "ROFLMAO"

The CEO feels like the boxers bag that is punched a 100 times.

Just as he feels the heat building up in him, the inbox cries - 'ping ping'

He reads the next mail, again a reply to all - 'whoa ... wad a F***ing reply ... he he :D Now I know where all your ideas collate and therefore don't relate. Heights of Obscured DESPERATION' :D :P ;) :)

Along with was added all the smilies that he practised during the 4 semesters at SIMC.

The CEO gasps for breath and searches frantically for the inhaler.

The kidkid again writes.

'LMAO. What the bloody F*** do you think the world is all about you A**h***? I am the one with guts, am the one with courage. Kiss me if you can and BLAH..."

And then the dumdkid writes again

"Sidkid ... loved the Boo thing :D..... lmao"

Finally, the very own CEO, like it often happens at SIMC, where the Director also 'replies to all' out of no avail, presses the button that he had decided to eliminate.

"Who are these pests and where have they come from?"

Within a fraction of a second the sidkid and dumbkid mails again in the same tone.

"I seem to have irked the CEO...well did you expect me to send you a bouquet of flowers for sending me this 'reply to all' shit. your post is getting to your head...unless you are an ardent admirer of technology and derive great pleasure in telling the world about ur technical expertise. To you about who i think i am...i am a guy who had the guts to speak up against ur cheap thrills and coming from the great institute called SIMC, Pune."

The CEO not only spams the sidkid and dumbkid, but dismisses the HR and the interviewers, which unfortunately included him as well. With a resignation letter in his hand, the CEO also slightly gets the SIMC syndrome and "replies to all" as follows.

"F*** o** you spammers... Am LMAO ROTFL.."

And the rest is history. All the staff followed suit. Thanks to the two SIMC-ians, the company is now the 'organisation with GUTS' ;) :P :D who adds all smilies available.
