Fashion Technology : 24×7

I wanted Fashion Technology and now I have 24×7 of it…. Did I want this much???

From Monday to Friday, we have the usual class… That reminds me, I had to take a seminar on Tuesday. It was a seminar on the Traditional Textiles of India, and I was taking Tripura. Luckily, Tripura didnt have any textile of its own, so it was like a 5 minute seminar with only 16 slides!! But the previous one about Nagaland, which had a lot of material to be taught and that too by a know-it-all of the class, was really boring and I remember yawning just before my seminar!! The seminar went fine except for the fact that I had given random animations for the bullets, and some of them were real slow ones!! Two or three times, they ‘crawled’ in real slow, and everyone started giggling, including the teacher!!!! :D The next tough task was to pronounce the names of the tribes of Tripura, without making it sound funny! The names were Khakloo, Kuki and Lushei :( Anyways, I am glad that it got over!

On Saturdays, we have the Fashion Art classes. The miss who had been taking Fashion Art for us left the college, and since no-one has replaced her till now, Fashion Art is being taught every Saturday by a sir called Mohamed Ansar (or Ansar Mohamed??) He was a classmate of one of our teachers, when they were in NIFT (that makes him around 30 years old!!). We call that class as ‘Ansar ki paathshala’!!! :P Both the second years and the first years are taught on the same day… Ansar Sir is from Trivandrum, working in Technopark.. He will be there in train with us most times!

Sundays, the only day that we used to get free, is finally taken for the Photography classes.. Its an extra module taken for our own benefit.. It will be of use when we go for our craft documentation (CD). We are woking in groups, the same ones that we are planning to do the CD with. Each group is required to have an SLR camera and a tripod.

Anyways, like I said before, I wanted Fashion Technology so badly and now I am 5’1″ deep in it…!!! Did I want it this much???? Guess I did…!! ;)

What age do u act?

You Are 20 Years Old

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what’s to come… love, work, and new experiences.

What Age Do You Act?

Phew!!! I shouldn’t say that I wasn’t worried about the results… Rather, I wonder how this happened!!!! :P

Happy Birthday to my blog!!

Its been 1 year since I started blogging… I knew that I had started in April, but I never thought I’d be checking that on the very same day!!!! I am glad that something like this came along… Coz I was out of material, and my friends have already started nagging me to blog..!! :P

Today was a very tiring day…. My friend Arya called me up the other day to ask whether I’d go along with her to my previous engg college, to invite them for a techfest that her college is hosting… I had plans to visit Marian anyway, so I agreed… Besides Marian, we had to go to UCE, GEC, MBT and SCT… My good God!! There r over 13 engg colleges in Trivandrum, and the max we can cover in one day were these 5.. Each college was located too much away from the other one in different directions… After Marian itself, we decided that one should be cut from the list.. And that one would either be GEC or MBT.. Since I was hoping to meet a friend of mine, Rajesh, at GEC, we decided that it should be MBT… Then we went to UCE.. Arya’s cousin was a lecturer in Computer Science Dept at UCE, so we asked one of the students to show us the way to get there.. I think these people didnt even know that a CS dept existed in their college until we asked about it…. Anyways, I was only too happy to leave that college.. Bless the students!! On our way out, I discovered that I had left my bottle of Aquafina in the internet lab… Bless me too!

Now we needed to get to SCT college… We striked out GEC from the list too, due to lack of time.. All instituitions were working only half-day coz of Aaraat and since SCT was one college from were participants could be expected, we decided to go there at once…. After a terrible bus journey, we reached SCT and stood near the gate, puzzled, wondering where the college really is.. I rang up a friend of mine and asked him to come to the gate… I knew him through the net only, and was about to see him for the first time! He recognized me anyway, and led us to the Principal’s office… Arya went in and talked to him..

I saw three engg colleges in the city, and none of them seemed to have a good infrastructure…. SCT was better than Marian owing to the fact that the campus had a lot of trees!! Marian looks like a coconut plantation from every angle…. And from the main entrance, it looks like the desert map in Age of Empires…

By the way, there was a fire in the forest in front of the UCE campus… And seeing the heavy smoke, we asked the students what it was.. They said, “Forest fire” and continued their work…. hmm… Engineering students.. What more could I expect? :P
