The Demo Strike

Strikes are no novel things in our college. On April 1, the Mechanical Engg dudes of S8 decided to launch yet another strike for granting some very simple demands. Luckily, Chottu’s cam could get hold of a pic of the poster. Here it goes:



Clarifications:

Point no: 1 - College is situated in Pappanamcode and many of the hostelers go to their native places on weekends by train. Very genuine demand to cut down the commuting time.

Point no: 2 - Pappanamcode area becomes extremely congested during the morning rush hours and hence an underpass serves the students’ interests to reach college on time.

Point no: 3 – Five storeys and no escalator; how rude!!

Point no: 4 - FM lab is the Fluid Mechanics lab and it consists of a small reservoir to store water.

Point no: 5 - Principal drives a Mitsubishi Lancer.

Point no: 6 - There’s not even a single girl in the Mechanical Engg batch of S8 (Poor guys). So 50% reservation is a very altruistic consideration for girls.

Point no: 7 – The current canteen running on losses will be an instant hit when this demand is accepted.

Point no: 8 – After the grueling sessions (read sleeping)  in classrooms, a theme park will serve the recreation purpose.

P.S. The demo strike was the April Fool in our college and this year the M8 dudes made the most of it.
P.P.S. Happens only in SCT!!

@silverine: You said it!!

@ashwin: Thanks buddy.

@anu: There is a froggy in it?? I've seen a frog filled pool by the side of our new building, though.

@g-man: What about hiring a belly dancer in the bar attached canteen?? Sounds good eh?

@jj: You have only heard?? Come and see live action, will be worth it. ;) Actually, more events for character assassinations occurs than other categories. If its frequency decreases, my post rates about it also decreases. And nice to see you reading those!!

@shama: Bang Bang!!

@anonymous: Don't worry, the real ones will spring up in a while. Patience dude, patience!!

@deepti: Yep, it's a universal Mech demand, but the condition for M8 guys in SCT is abysmal -not even one. Why girls, why?? Give those guys a break!!

@syam: Teacherum kollaam, ningalum kollaam!!

@mathew: Naadan patti dog squad?? You telling me that you people dressed up as dogs?? Where on earth did you find the costumes?? Really innovative!!

@amooma: They banned us entering the classrooms!! How rude!! ;) Actually, I'm not in M8; Am in S8 Electronics. Just penned down their venture.
