The blog, as a comment and a spoof, is indeed creative...

But cant blame the college authorities for what's elapsed.. We all know what effforts the College Administration (irector and Deputy Director) undertook to make this event happen.. At least we got the Art Of Lving!

Maybe, we will get to go the next Semesterend break in April, when the whole of Lavale will be one scorching sunbaked hilltop.. (AS sir..please take this into consideration)!

On a more "serious" note... we do nee to know the bloopers and goof-ups here..

After all, isnt this a TRAINING institute?! Idhar sikhoge toh muft mein milenga! Office mein sikhonge toh laath milenga!! Better to learn the 'tricks' of the trade in a safe environment before entering into it!
