A century of coconaughty.

Flashophobia among students

A certain group of mass media students on hilltops were found to suffer from a deadly disease presently titled FLASHOPHOBIA. A flash of light or lightning from any corner makes the affected to shiver and utter gibberish like Shree, suspension, Dhaba, kiss, miss et al. It seems like SIMC is bound to suffer from ANKUR’s every year. The only common thing with the sufferings is that though the earlier bunch suffered from 'AS'inophobia, both are caused by ANKUR’s who were GONE WITH THE WIND’s.

Two new types of mass media acknowledged

Mass media are media, which can be used to communicate and interact with a large number of audiences in one time. With the advent of SIMC, two new types of mass media have been added in the gamut.

Now the list reads as follows
  • Print media
  • Electronic media
  • Digital media
  • OOH media
  • Prateek media
  • Padma media
Prateek and Padma media are fast eating up the digital and OOH pie, while print and electronic have already taken measures to stop the already eroding base. Reports from SIMC also speculate a convergence of Prateek and Padma media to a new type of media called Interactive-PR media. This threatens the already existing Interactive media to go kaput. Padma media also received an award for the best Word of Mouth campaign last year, while Prateek media is a real MASS media, looking at it figuratively.

Question mark reaches a full stop

With the beginning of the third semester, some unnecessary evil looking like a barrel has reached a full stop. The good thing about this transition is the cloud of optimism that surrounded the rest of the crowd. They presume that this special species will slip to a COMMA in the next semester.

Book & Banner ji – Why Market Research won't happen
  • A notebook must contain 192 pages, all sized 20 cms X 15 cms. Else market research won’t happen.
  • If PR students don’t get an assignment spanning 192 divided by 4 multiplied by 0.5 pages, market research won’t happen.
  • If last benchers exist, market research won’t happen.
  • If front rows aren’t filled first, market research won’t happen.
A conversation in the Film appreciation class.

Mad’am:
Midhun, have you seen the BLUE UMBRELLA?

Midhun (wakes up): Yes madam, I saw it a few hours back.

Madam: Great coincidence. What did you like the most in it?

Midhun: The colour blue, the nylon cloth, the steel bars and of course the press button!

Madam: (Zonked) where did you see this?

Midhun: It was lying in the corner of the class.

Mad’am: Please watch more movies or at least read about it ! ! !
