Topics … You Choose? or We Choose? … Which one? OMG!

Photobucket

All right, we have been asked by some of you on the choice of topics. Without letting much go, for the prelims the choice of topics is yours alone and you have a free reign within defined limits. That means anything under the sun (or even above it) which is NOT seditious, sensitive and all by means ruins the peace around all of us. If you aren’t that sure whether the topic you have in mind falls in the NO-NO list, just contact us through the blog or see us for yourself (nearly all of us hang about the campus every working day: the library, the cafĂ©, the minimart or the bookstore). Seriously, come and see us! You don’t want to prepare a page long script which probably took days to chuck it in the bin at the end …


On the other hand, the final round of competition is a totally different ball game. Firstly, to get there, you must have a certain level of prowess and once you are there, we are going to tighten the situation a little bit and see how you are going to perform under diverse situations. Needless to say, the topics are going to be chosen for you in the finals by the organizers. No worries, you at least get to know one of it a WEEK beforehand and the topics are fun to delve on. So, no sweat and don’t worry yourself about that now: it is still sometime away. Any questions, confusions or general muddles, feel free to leave comments or shout at the Chat Box!

P/S Please leave your name or even a nickname when commenting … we like to know the name behind the words so that we don’t resort to calling you “Anonymous of 1.11 a.m.”. I trust you have a much better name than that and we would love to know that we have real support from real people.

WELCOME

Hey there AIMSTers!

Photobucket

While catching up with classes, labs, meals and building your social network (Aha!), we are sure (at least 99.9%) that you have got something to say to the world. So, the point is BE HEARD! Now, the big question is how? You can't possibly take a megaphone and scream out loud in the cafe at lunch?! We can also hear some of you moping, “Who cares about what I think or have to say?"

The point is WE CARE. Without ruining anyone’s lunch to say the least, YOU can now give your take on the world or anything beyond it to an audience who actually cares to listen. How?

JUST JOIN THE AIMST VICE CHANCELLOR CHALLENGE TROPHY!

Essentially it’s a public speaking tournament and the glitz to the name is obviously due to the cool and very expensive trophy … SERIOUSLY, ask Mr Ranjit from Student Liaison Unit (the TROPHY is also there!).

So, since you know what the general idea is about and know that we are not wasting web-space… it is time you know who we are. Well, we are from MBBS Batch 13 who is organizing this (soon-to-be) Mega Event which if you have been here for sometime, has taken place twice already. We however plan to take this event into a new dimension.

That is where this blog fits in; an interactive domain for the organizers, participants and basically everyone who has an access to the internet to share and communicate. More details of the competition are on the pipeline as the committee is finalizing everything from the very tiny little things to the really big stuff like sponsorship and prizes! There will be a post on the committee members’ and their various antics, so don't worry; you won't miss out on anything we do!

So back to the blog … again, we wish to emphasize the interactive quality of the whole thing (let us not waste web space), so we expect all of you to share, ask, comment (look below!) and basically just tell us what you want to tell us; good or bad (just be careful with your lingo though). Yes, just tell us! Anything!

For now, that is about it. Do keep coming back to the blog. Pictures, registration forms and goodness-knows what else we can cook up will be waiting for you. Till then, have a nice day, keep pondering, thinking but don’t forget to live (huh?)!

Signing out for Batch 13,

~ravi~
