Munnabhai B.tech ..anyone?

three-idiots
3 Idiots is arguably the most awaited movie of the year. Ever since it was announced that Rajkumar Hirani and Aamir Khan were going to get together to make a movie on the education system,  the interest of every movie lover (including the author) was piqued. To start with, 3 Idiots is probably the most entertaining movie of the year. And that is saying something, specially in a year which has had a bunch of high profile duds. At the time of writing, according to some reports, the movie has already garnered close to 93 cr in the opening weekend itself. This is an all time high record for any Indian movie. Not that anyone had any doubts on whether the movie was going to recover money or make profits.

Rock ON!

My engineering college had a rich tradition of cultural festivals and Rock music. ‘Horizons’ was our annual fest for which the entire college longed for and started working for from the around the middle of the year. Committees were formed, leaders elected, budgets drawn and plans drawn to organize an event which was grander than the previous year. Students worked feverishly as the days got closer, classes were bunked royally and studying became optional.
