Rahul on his birthday in Hawaii with a special gift from Tulika.

Library

Yes, we have a big new great fancy impressive library on campus now. Its designed like a big pink jaipur palace, huge.

dear refli and stairs in front, do I have to say more about it, we all have our memories associated. closed now for some fancy structure

ah, the new library, wait, is that pink, what happened to the yellow paint!!

BITS Library entrance, phew are we still on campus

The campus and Insti

Lets start with the AC lecture/compree rooms everyone has been talking about. They are indeed great, high tech stuff, AC, projector, mic, lot like the lecture rooms in univs in US. No more sweating during comprees because of heat (but i guess students still sweat in comprees).

Most of the insti is still the same though, I could still see myself walking in those coridors, sitting in the lawns, IC and everything is still there. Though these are a few additions like the fancy BOSM grounds gate.

BOSM grounds, fancy gate now behind ANC

The D-lawns in front of FDIII are still there. Channel V and (probably nescafe) used to play music there during OASIS, and the nescafe stall, maggie at midnight! Those were fun times.

front of FDIII, this is where lot of oasis music used to happen, nescafe stands

Sky was also the same, though empty. Not a single group having lachcha. Even pappu was not that busy. Just a couple of senti-semites (girls), hanging around in back sky, looking very bored, and they said that they were very bored. senti-sem is boring!!

sky, the sun clock, and pond behind that

The OASIS 2004 structure, great as ever, this time it was soemthing like a monstor, I could not find what the theme was.

OASIS 2004 structure, don't know what the theme was

There were a lot more bike stands near IPC, and some wierd hurdles on the way.

do we have hurdle race in front of IPC, had no idea what these strcutures were for

the bhawans

This is how the bhawans look now. Guys bhawans all enclosed with jalis, RP made into MB2, I think its still called RP though. It hosts the 5th yearites still, but only girls, and it has its own mess. I talked to some of them and they all said that food is just awesome the new mess. I could not find out where the 5th year guys have been dumped.

jailed gandhi

Ah, our old wing has a new TV and a big equipment, which I first thought was a water cooler, but is related to the BITS connect thing.

new TV, this was our 3rd year wing

Cycle stands in MB are still the same but there are a whole lot more cycles. The number of cycles in guys bhawans has also increased considerably. Well, I guess there is no more walking with your girl, holding her bike :). The insti seemed to be a big mess of cycles everywhere.
