Genie.exe
While the pages are loading, I decided to finish watching the "Aladdin" movie. I was not concentrating on what I am clicking, I became deeply involved in the movie. After finishing the movie, I saw "genie.exe" on desktop. I opened firefox history to know from where it was downloaded. It showed a page with no url. So, I got suspicious and scanned it with Avira antivirus(AV). The AV got crashed and the entire system got stuck.
But, I took risk and clicked it. Do you know what happened?? Nothing happened. even after so many double-clicks nothing is happened. and even shift-del also dont work on it. I left it to its destiny. But, it is on my desktop and I notice it everytime.
Later I took the "Aladdin" movie to home for my 5 year old cousin from US. After watching the movie, She said "Rubbing 3 times, genie comes...thats silly". "why cant!", I thought "when superman can come from other planet". It gave me the idea. Immediately after coming to college, I went for lab keys and opened my system.
I have a strange feeling that I'm going to achieve something. I clicked "genie.exe" thrice. Do you know what happened?? Entire screen got blank. I went to press the restart button...but genie appeared. There is a lot of difference between genie in the movie and genie in my computer. He has lost his hair and has got spets. When asked about this change, he told that his parents forced him to do research and now he became expert in networks. He also told me that I'm his master and gave me 3 wishes.
1st wish: Without wasting any time, I copied him into my pendrive and transferred to chitti(my laptop) and asked him to connect the laptop to high speed net. There was a problem with my laptop's wireless card and I haven't opened any webpage since 3 years in room. From that day, I wasted so much time in orkutting, facebooking, searching for female profiles with pics etc etc...I and genie used to talk about personal things and became close.
2nd wish: I never needed another wish until the deadline of 7th assignment in C. I came to know that 5th program done by my crush is not getting accepted since the program contains only if and print statements(works for the sample inputs given). she is feeling very bad about it. So, I asked genie to make her program get accepted the next time she uploads. And now everyone is happy, she is happy as she got full marks. so, Im happy. Genie is happy as he can be free after another wish.

Fee Hike vs Free Education
http://web.iiit.ac.in/~vvelagapuri/feehike.pdf .See the link for script of our skit that we have planned but couldn't perform.In that
- We have justified that the current fee hike(10,000/yr this year and again 10,000 next yr) is not going to solve our institution's problems but postponing them.
- We have proposed an alternative scheme.
Bank loans are there always bot not beneficial to the students as we need to pay something around Rs 5,000-7,000 after graduating.
As many of you know the concept of "Free Education@IIIT-H" was raised by Sandeep Sancheti and Pranav Kumar Vasishta in last year's(2008) fare well speech.
We have come up with a new model of education taking inspiration from the "Gurudaskhina model" that was followed in the pre-colonial period.
1) We use the public money(Govt) for our education.
2) We work hard to ensure that the money spent on our education is rightly
utilized. 3) We work for them while we are studying(summer?).
E.g. : Training and educating the young ( Considering there are 40cr young people in India,it's our(iiith) responsibility to educate them ).
You may propose your own interests when we discuss this with you individually.
1) Fee gets reduced. (Many medical colleges in India are following this model.For example Osmania and Gandhi medical colleges at Hyderabad where you will find tution fee as 10,000 per year,in return they work at hospitals, which is beneficial for them and to the country)
2) Feeling of Gratitude A feeling the society is paying for my education expecting that my knowledge and wisdom is used for the progress of the mankind.
3) Better interaction with the Govt and the society.You will find many problems that need to be addressed.
4) IIIT-H stands tall and its students become very special.
What about faculty ? They gave us positive feedback.
We are ready to discuss about this model in depth with each and everyone of you.
We are planning to have "Wing/floor Speeches" in all the hostels.
Any suggestions ?

As Rabindranath Tagore said :
"Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
-------------
Into that heaven of freedom, my
Father, let my country awake"
Yes,this is going to be a huge change,but it is inevitable.
This is for ourselves by ourselves.
Students,its high time we should rise and show the world what IIITians are up to !
Unity,courage and commitment are what we are expecting from you.

Aaka-Paaka
I wrote "8 things to do, before coming out from college" after joining IIIT. later I made it to 12. more than half of them are fulfilled. one of them is to perform something on stage in programs like cultural night or felicity. Then felicity09
came, as this is the last felicity for most of the 4th year friends, we dual degree guys thought of giving them a nice gift.
After deciding some characters we needed a OA character otherwise the practice and everything will be professional. so, when we are searching for OA candidates in dual degree, we couldn't find easily. One day, I saw the OA-KING in UG4 lab and decided to take him also.
1st step: Having the dream is not enough, try to achieve it. For this you need some type of courage( Item ayyina em kadu ane feeling). I got this after SPUDI made me item 3,4 times. so, we explained others about the skit. most of them said "item avutham emo ra!! kani chedham".
2nd step: (discussion) After several hours of discussion the concept was modified by "ALLU-ENKI" and others, which was finalized.
3rd step: (script) The dialogues must be funny. I am a great fan of "AMRUTHAM" serial and comedy blogs which helped in writing comedy dialogues like rentatma instead of pretatma and thuch cell phone for hutch. The titles in that serial would be similar to this. The 1st year physics helped "REMO REDDY" to invent 3 RAJNI laws. We all saw the related movies 2,3 times to get more ideas.
4th step: (character assigning) Male characters ki bochedu mandi dorukutharu but what about girls!!!who will come with the batch in which most of them never climbed the steps of stage?? we need a CONVINCER, some body who can convince anyone so that even though they dont understand they have to say yes. Atlast he succeded without using his convincing power due to concept.
5th step: (practise) This is very hard. It denies sleep, stops from going home WTF. But cricket, middle monkey, pichi-banthi etc with sponge ball are enjoyable. Here, KANTH lifted the spirits with ever lasting energy and always willing to practice fight, forcing others to practice and striving for perfection. As the concept and everything was our own, we faced difficulties while dancing and acting but OA-KING came to the rescue. He was very good at dancing, dialogue delivery etc. He is an all-rounder.
On the special day: planned to do a final rehearsal at 9:30. most of them woke up at 10. so postponed it to 11:00. Then came telugu antyakshari, all of us wanted to participate(as most of us narrowly missed in last yr felicity and carnival). so, practice postponed to 12:30. we all got selected in 1st round. 2nd round completed at 1:30. Only SPUDI was busy at room preparing other things for skit. We went to mess and started practice at 2:15. practiced everything for 1 hr and came to know that telugu antyakshari finals was over( we got slot after telugu antyakshari).
we went to organizers and requested for another slot. They are very nice and gave another after an hour.
we played. Hope you enjoyed.
PS1:Practice becoming an item( It is like falling while learning to walk).
PS2:Didn't write about some others who played MAJOR/KEY/IMPORTANT role because i dont know how they react(Girls are difficult to understand. I took 2 days to understand a sms from a girl).
PS3:During award functions, everyone says thanks to technicians who worked for this film. I thought "veedevado sodi peduthunnadu" but I came to know that they are as important as any one like VKASI,Vasana,KAM,ALLU-ENKI and others.
PS4: Thanks to Vibbu for "Pichumithayi konukkodaniki Pavala ledante Papa vachi patika adigidanta" dialogue. Thanks to Tavva for dance steps. Thanks to goutham for his name and "uff uff" sound during practice.
PS5: Every story has a villian, even we have a villian.

Jejayya
FlashBack: There used to be a college named UIIT ( universal institute of information technology) in gachibowli. In that college there was an icon, star player Jejayya who used to hit big sixes easily. One day after 4 dot balls, he decided to go after the bowler and hit a massive six which took the outside edge and went over the canteen and then over the faculty quaters and hit "APPU" in the academic office. Though he died, his pretatma didn't leave UIIT in revenge of Jejayya. Jejayya always wants to go home and likes white meat but APPU used to stop him by creating obstacles.
After few days, Jejayya gets vexed with these obstacles and contacts an excellent Saint in NRT who explains him the pretatma concept( The pretatma must take revenge asap as it has to submit a project report before the deadline and every time he wins in stopping you he gets some x% power and everytime you wins he will loose some y% and it will always tries to become more powerful). Now, he is in the hunt to find the way, he can stop APPU. He accidentally reads an article in ET which says that he has be lazy and the paper also suggests that BOJJA can be an excellent weapon. But, he is slim and hardworking so he decides to die and tackle APPU in next janma.
So, he asks his family to treat the first child in their vamsham, who likes ET paper and STORIES as him and feed him well until he gets BOJJA. He dies.
Present Day - Now, Jejayya is a handsome guy whom friends call vinj is celebrating someone's birthday near his house. APPU wants to bring him back and suffer him by keeping exams and classes. He was successful in bringing him to UIIT and tortured him by busy schedule of classes and C assignments in first year. He was 99% powerful during 1st year summer holidays.
Then GILLI and SPUDI who are spiritual, recognized the destiny of vinj helped in developing bojja by going to restaurants, doing night-outs etc. He comes to know that every failure of pretatma will reduce his power and he wanted to make it zero. He becames lazy because of his bojja and sleeps in the morning time to bunk the classes. APPU thought that he will regret if he gives him less grades but the determined vinj didn't care about them. 25% of his power lost after 2nd year.
In 3rd year, vinj chelaregadu. classes ki vellaledu, assignments cheyyaledu, exam papers choosukoledu. so at the end of 3rd year 50% gone.
4th yr lo CAT vunna placments vunna chalinchakunda determined ga time waste cheyyadam tho APPU gadu 90% chachadu. appudu vadiki oka goppa idea vastadi. vinju intiki veldam anukuntadu, daniki addu padadhamani VERIZON placement pedathadu. deeniki atya-adhikanga 9% aatma power karchu vuthundi(GENTLEMAN body lo praveshinchali kada). but vinj ekkada taggakunda adi kooda lite teesukunnadu.
so 1% remaining and vinju UIIT lo vunde time aipothundi ela ela ani APPU gadu aalochistu vunte sankranti vachindi. 3 days holidays so NRT ki vellina malli vachestadani 5 days after sankranti roju class pedthadu. kani vinj teliviga sankranti aina ventane ooriki start avuthadu 1 week tharvatha vastadu.
AAA vidanga APPU gadu vinj gadi life nunchi velli poyadu and afterwards vinj lived happily for ever.
