Results are in

Both DS and PB ended up at a difference of .2%. So both the teams were decleared joint winners. GH took the second place.

Did something like "GH ki m** ka ..." happen? After all, in true Galaxy tradition the winners (Halls 2 and 3 both) should go to the loser's hall and taunt them! :-)

Was this some kind of sadbhavna Galaxy?

Can't believe that this result is genuine.

well it hardly matters who won and what was the result ...what's more is important that Galaxy did happen ... and gor those who participated it was no sadbhawana Galaxy ,may be size of the event was small ,not the size of the competiton

psd: kyon bhai? Do u remember any girl coming to our hostel in 2nd year :)

Anon: Actually ye to hon ahi tha. What else do u expect when
only 2 genuine teams are taking part and the scale is so small. It is very difficult to diffrentiate. This where the large scale of galaxy came into play.

T: Yeah I realize that but I will be generelly busy during next 10-15 days and so not much writing. Hope u keep coming back though :)

Pray do explain why the winners were the 2 genuine teams ? And your reasons for not considering the GH team a genuine one.

Do read this article

There are 1001 ways to answer this question but I'll choose unconditional apology and the simple explanation that it was a slip. Of course u are free to interpret it in terms of my subconcious biases coming into play.

What I think about the GH team will be clear if u read my one of my previous postings called
GT - IInd edition About the article, I think the total content value of that is zero which is quite expected from a TOI article.

Just because GH was never a seperate team before does not mean that it is not a genuine team. Remember, GH lost by only 4 points :(
In today's date the PGs ,who usually see Galaxy as a festival of UGs, are in majority in GH. And hence the working people from GH were only a handful. By saying that GH team was not a genuine one, you have not done justice to the hard work of these few people.

Assuming that u are the same anonymous to whom I replied earlier :), I think u missed my point. I am not saying that GH is not a genuine team. It was just a slip when I wrote 2 instead of 3 and I think I am allowed to slip at times. Am I not? :)

बिछड़ते दोस्तों के नाम

यादों की माला के मनके खोते जाएंगे, हम खुद से हर रोज़ बेगाने होते जाएंगे। मिलना जुलना, हंसना रोना, दुनिया भर के हिज्जे, रफ्ता रफ्ता सब अफ़साने होते जाएंगे। "आते हैं उस तरफ कभी तो तुमसे मिलते हैं", न मिलने के यूँही बहाने होते जाएंगे। इंक़लाब की बू है अब पुर-कैफ हवाओं में, बेवजह ही लोग दीवाने होते जाएंगे। भिंची मुट्ठियों, उठे कदम, लहराती बाहों से, बिछड़े साथी का हम साथ निभाते जाएंगे। गले नही  ल गते हैं, अब बस हाथ मिलाते हैं, यार अभागा सभी सयाने होते जाएंगे।

क्या लिखूं?

छूटे कोई दीन दुखी ना, सबको करो शुमार लिखो, दबी हुई चीखों को बुन कर, कर्कश इक ललकार लिखो। धरम जो पूछे शरणागत का, जात जो पूछे साधो की, हिंदुस्तानी दिल ऐसा भी हुआ नहीं लाचार लिखो। लिखने दो उनको BSE, NSE और GDP, तुम आम आदमी की जेबों में बची चवन्नी चार लिखो। इस शोर शराबे में सहमा सा सच जो तुमको मिल जाए, एक बार लिखो, दस बार लिखो, तुम उसको बारम्बार लिखो। है वक़्त अभी कुछ कहने का, है वक़्त नहीं चुप रहने का, नफरत के तूफानों में घिरते, इंसानों को प्यार लिखो। सुनो अभागा बदल गए हैं यहाँ मायने शब्दों के, देशभक्त ऐसे हैं गर तो, खुद को तुम गद्दार लिखो।

To bend and not to fold

There are thousands of things in my mind right now that I would like to put on this blog, share with the world. But I hardly manage to find time or the kind of tranquility that I want in order to write. There is one thing however, that never fails to push me to the emotional state where words just seem to flow. Few minutes ago, I watched a video prepared by IITK students called "The Way We Were". There was nothing much in the video. Large part of the video is a music video produced in house at IITK which, I must say, is quite good. The rest of the video is brief snippets of some junta talking about how they feel about IITK and what makes it special for them. It is this part that prompted me to write this post. First to quote a dear friend of mine, the later part in the video looks rather like a "boisterous attempt at self-glorification". I somewhat agree with that and it is this feeling of agreement that forces me to think what would I have said if I was there in th...
