PAINTBALL

Wanna play CS ?? But NOT on a wired network.....Then u can try PAINTBALL!!! I got a chance to play this exciting sport when we (Team Pacman!) had gone for a team outing on last friday. It's a chance to shake off your boring monotonous routine corporate life and satisfy the spirit of adventure and relive those beautiful college days of gaming (seeeyes) BUT this time in a real arena!
"Go Go Go" "Team fall back" "Storm the front" "Hold this position" "Aim Headshot"
Check out : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paintball for more details about the sport.
A company called 'Yuyutsa' offers a PaintBall arena here on the Bannerghatta Road. And they have a tie-up with the adjoining Confident Cascade Resort which takes care of the food and the other sports and swimming pool facilities.

wen students bcom invigilators!!!

Last sunday, we had been to Wipro (Electronics City,Bangalore) to do an invigilation on behalf of DLPD, BITS-Pilani and it was a pleasant experience (thanks to ma n70 and fever 104.0 :D).It felt kinda strange and something really different to be on the other side of an examination hall , invigilating(ahem ahem inspecting :P) students ; rather than writing the test as we have done till date! It was nHice to see questions of known subjects like CP-II, DSA and the same answer sheet that we used in our 4 yrs at pilani. It was exciting to see and observe students' behaviour during an examination.....last minute discussions before the test begins; various cheating instances; some students taking lotsa additional sheets; junta writing after the final bell; invigilators running behind students to collect their answer sheets,post exam discussions,tallying the answers with friends....n so on. And the best part was trying to recollect what invigilators used 2 say during our exams and speaking out the same in an authoritarian accent....."Please do complete all the details - Write your Name,Id,Course No and Course Name on the front page of the answer script before attempting the questions" "You have to mention explicitly the Section No on top of ur answer sheet" "1 hour over" "1 more hr to go..." "Time's up...Hurry on...SUBMIT" "SUBMIT!!!" "Do you intend to submit ur paper ?" .....and things like that ...hehe :)
We were treated to a brilliant lunch there and on top of that, we were entertained by some god-level mime by KD!!!
