Modem 2007 : A Late Late Post

I was only reminded of doing this post when I was speaking about Pony’s crush at Access…

Modem 2007 was held at Modern School, Vasant Vihar this year, oh I don’t know when. It was an event worth forgetting. Frankly, they didn’t have the mInfrastructure and the mResources (to rip-off from somewhere else which no longer exists online) to conduct an mEvent, and were proud of it. That’s not only it – their standards as far as the quiz is concerned have fallen too. Have a look at the Modem 2002 Quiz prelims. This year’s prelims were a shame, with ultra easy questions. As such, I dunno WHO checked the papers, but none of the biggies like us, MIS (team Bwubwubwuh – geez, I just can’t get it right in writing), or DPS RKP qualified. Tch.

Most people thus had nothing more than watch the chicks of MS VV this year. Not that anyone regretted it, but I wouldn’t mind having a trophy too. Then again, we were reminded of the MS VV teacher whom Pony had a crush on. He’d sent us with a secret mission to get a pic of hers this time, but ah sigh, we failed. Sample The Worst Pick-Up Line of the Century that Pony made last year…

Pony (going up to that teacher whom he has a crush on): Ma’am, could you tell me the French teacher of this school is?
Teacher: Sure, why beta?
Pony: I’ve a doubt in French. Could you please take me to the French teacher?

Pony also promised that if he was in Delhi this year, he’d come to Modem as my ‘brother’ just to have a look at her. Not that she’s half that bad though…

Modern School, Vasant Vihar also happens to have these weird toilets with no partitions in between. I guess that’s taking the whole ‘open source’ ideology to a whole new level…

No boundary urinalsAnd, not to forget the high-tech way to play songs in an auditorium – by putting a microphone in front of a speaker, rather than utilising the audio ports of the nearby computer.

Lest They Change The Board Next Year…

Engineers India Limited, happens to be this real fun joint you know, which has their office in Bhikaji Cama Place (I hope the it’s not renamed after some freedom fighter by the time I reach home), a place quite close to my house. Here’s what Ze Wiki has to say about it…

Engineers India Limited (EIL) is a public-listed company under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, and is a business enterprise of the Government of India that was initially set up in 1965 to help the vital petroleum industry in the country. It has to its credit, more than 4,300 assignments, including 320 major projects, that has, so far, been successfully completed.

Notice the year which is BOLD in the above paragraph? Now if I’m not wrong, then this board belongs to EIL…
