Rem on the Ramp

Today was a holiday, since midterms ended yesterday. Section D (D Company as we now call ourselves) decided to go for dinner together to celebrate and also to begin preparing for the T-Nite, which begins next week.

Over 50 out of the 80 in the section were present - not a bad number. We were led out by our CR Anara Singh (aka Ankit) at 8:30, only to wait at the WIMWI gate for over 20 minutes for a bus we had hired. Travelling in a hired bus just to go to dinner was a novel experience. But it was a very good idea, and we would have been hardpressed to find 15-20 autos in the midst of fairly heavy rains.


Dinner was a good time. We went to Mirch Masala and had Punjabi food. The food was not bad and everyone seemed to have a good time. We then went to have ice cream and were finally back around 11:30.

Most of us however had not studied much for tomorrow. So we hit upon the idea of conducting a Rem on the Ramp itself. In this case, the Rem(edial)s were conducted by those who had studied, to teach the basics of the topic to the rest. Rems for MANAC and Computers were taken in a setting where normally large groups gather only in preparation for group outings or to gyrate in a Ramp party. Both Rems were short though, so we were free to mug/blog by midnight.


T-Nite (Talent Nite) should be really great. We'll have to organise dances, skits, songs and other such performances for 3 or 4 nights. It is an inter-section competition and D-Company is determined to be one better than last year when we were only joint-winners with A. The tucchas (PGP 2s) will judge us and many alumni will also drop by. Only problem is that the Institute does not care much about this event. Hence classes and quizzes will proceed as normal (perhaps worse, because the professors know we'll be busy with the Nite), and we will simply have to sacrifice more sleep to prepare for the performances. Don't know how much I will be able to contribute, except for helping with logistical arrangements and showing lots of enthusiasm. Will take many snaps, I promise.
