Can one's calendar be so full that it's literally a case of one hopping from one exciting event to another? Hmmm...at GCE, this March, it is.

I attended COMPCOM 11, ECE department's annual symposium. I had classes, so caught just the last part of Prof.Kavimani's speech. He informed students that head hunters from different companies had given the feedback that while students had the intellectual acumen as engineers, they needed to know, understand and appreciate business, since all companies are driven by commercial needs. 

At this point, I recalled the Business English Certificate Course that we used to offer to students in the evenings- that course by Cambridge honed the learner's understanding of the business jargon, the practices and nuances of official and corporate activities.
The Chief Guest, Mr.TK Das, DGM/ Dalmia presented a picture of an economically strong India that requires quality engineers and so urged students to equip themselves for the demands of the corporate world. 

This week , girls hosted their hostel day, which I believe was a riotous, fun filled evening of dances, food and laughter. 
TLA is releasing 'Agaram', their magazine this afternoon. Gecofest is being held on 11th and 12th, rather unusually on a Saturday. I'm disappointed, as I will miss the fun on Saturday, due to a personal commitment.

On the first three days of the week, starting  on the 7th, is Mekchat, a grand gathering of students to attend a three day long symposia with a workshop conducted by TATA Motors to be the highlight, beckons one. I suppose that will be followed by  the Boys Hostel Day, TechnoBlaze and  MetMat11. I'm sure the Sports Day will be somewhere in between. 

With elections around the corner, life is going to be hectic with fun and books thrown in together, in a melee of days.
