Wheels

Wheels! More the merrier? Think again!

Owning a two wheeler in BMSCE suddenly got much more „cooler‟ this semester at BMSCE!
Yes, you‟ve seen the notices right below the „anti-ragging‟ boards near every possible
parking area on campus. ‟As there are several proposed construction projects. Four-
wheelers will not be allowed to park on campus w.e.f. 01/09/12 until further notice.‟ – is what
they read. Though the college security guards and management have done an excellent job
in keeping out some of the major traffic hitches on the campus roads, they have also upset a
few BMS-ians, who have always been coming and going to college on their very own, or
parents‟ four-wheelers.

When asked for his take on the ban on four-wheeler parking on campus, Toku Wodeyar, a
3
rd
Sem Instrumentation student says, „‟It‟s a torture. We can‟t even get parking nearby, as
it‟s always full. We get so many parking tickets for parking near college. I just hope they lift
the ban.” Another 3
rd
Sem Computer Science student expresses astonishment as he says,
“Seems to be utter nonsense, seeing as they're not really doing any construction.”Faraaz, a
5
th
Sem Chemical student says, “People like me who drive up to college, find it extremely
annoying to find a parking spot outside college as it is a residential area and the roads are
too narrow to park! I sure don‟t see any construction work going on in campus!”

Though the poll may seems one sided, there are a few others, also students who own four
wheelers, who feel that the situation is not as bad as it looks. “The place is definitely quieter
and more peaceful”, says Rohan Srinivas a 3
rd
Sem, Mechanical student. The students
though, who don‟t own for-wheelers or no wheels for that matter, seem not to be too affected
by this new regulation.

Troublesome though it may be for some, and not so much for the others, we all do hope and
pray that this ban gets lifted soon enough, so that finding spots to park outside campus and
parking tickets will all be reserved for the Utsav period only!

How I Braved Anu Aunty and Co-founded a Million Dollar Company

Varun is a twenty something engineering graduate, for whom his degree
is nothing but a piece of paper and whose aspirations lie somewhere
else. When everybody expects him to join the corporate rat race and
get a safe MBA, Varun‟s hours are filled with friends, pub-hopping,
and stalking his secret crush on facebook. Losing hope on her son,
Varun‟s mother desperately relies on Anu Aunty to get her soon "back on
track". Anu Aunty is the typical Indian Aunt who Varun describes in his
words as “one of those women who always poked her nose into everyone
else's problems and sniffed for one when there was none." She derives
sadistic pleasure in rubbing in the fact that her son Arjun, working
for an MNC is doing way better than Varun.

So when Anu aunty hatches a crafty plan to get him a job offer, Varun
along with his friend Rohn Malhotra is chasing entrepreneurial dreams.
Under the sneaky eye of Anu Aunty, will Varun succeed in fulfilling
his dreams of setting up a company that manufactures logo adorned
merchandize for schools and colleges? In the duel between our
protagonist and Anu Aunty who essentially represents the typical
Indian society, which refuses to accept anything out of children
except doctors or engineers, who will have the last word?

Written in a naive style, Varun himself admits that there is no inner
Ernest Hemingway in him to evoke. The narration is hysterical, with
loads of references to the most fun hang out addas in Bangalore
including Noon wines, Millers 36 and the very local cutting chai and
cigarette provider Shiva‟s. As you flip through the pages, the story
unfolds effortlessly and the humour keeps you hooked.
Varun employs several slang words and SMS lingo used by today‟s youth
that makes
the reading light. Apart from the fun stuff, this book is a must read
for all the budding entreprenuers, since Varun provides us with tips
and tactics on how to brave the Aunties
in your life and gather up the nerve to create your own start up. The
book is recommended if youŗe looking for something refreshing and
informative for the weekend.
