RIP Byxtroczarz?

2 Years into our under-graduate life,We The Byxtroczarz have faced problems aplenty before which Obama's worries appear to be a trifle.(A Fact for outsiders:Byxtroczarz is the unofficial name given to the 2007-2011 batch of BE ECE in PSG tech.)What this bizarre name means is out of the lexicologists' control.The unofficial rule here is:Have a nice-sounding name first.Let us become Shakespeares and give meanings to it in the last bench of a boring Electron Devices class.
First semester was smooth sailing.No issues.Then the second semester beckoned.Yours trully was made the representative.That was the first nail in our coffins.I can be a fantastic follower but never a great leader.I can heed to everyone's opinion but a representative should have a much needed quality:People should heed to his words.Alas!
Kriya,an inter college techno management fest held in Feb 2008 was where the downfall started.We went for volunteering in the event without informing the staff.The Golden rule in PSG tech is:Never offend a member of Staff.We did exactly that and HOD made a dramatic entry to our class announcing that the IV for the second semester was officially CANCELLED.Girls were badly affected because boys had private tours organised.
Every lecturer coming to our class had a complaint about our class.We were declared the "Worst batch in the illustrious history of PSG tech"."You are fit for an Arts and Science college",a lecturer had to say.That is doing injustice to an A&S college!
But the 2nd semester ended on a jubilant note with the Byxtroczarz winning "Chill-out",a cultural fest for first years.The "electrifying atmosphere" usually associated with cricket matches involving India VS Pakistan was prevalent in the campus on March 2,2008.We won places in Chartfest and Adzap-The two primary events.We won the hearts too by celebrating our victory in a restrained way-chatting in the mess- while the sore losers from other departments were fighting with banana skins!
3rd semester did have an IV atlast(Cochin,Trivandrum).But the IV itself was a shoddily planned affair full of boring moments.Only lovebirds relished it and there are not many of them in Byxtroczarz.
Then came "Intrams"-the lowest point in our career so far.The sibling classes G1 and G2 got into a dirty fight over the most important issue of a lifetime(What should be put on our Batch T-Shirt?A dragon or a warrior?!).Some harsh words were exchanged.Malevolent glares.I could not stop it.Our 3rd sem representative did not want to stop it.In the end,G1 guys printed their own shirts and G1 girls had their own BZ churidhars without even consulting us.(Imagine Churidhars with warriors!Awful!)
The culturals was a even bigger disaster.Our class guys did nothing useful for the event.Their class guys had a honest try at dancing.At the end of the dance,our own juniors were found smirking.G1 guys mistook acrobatics for dancing and it was a heavy price to pay with the buzz all over the campus:"What happened to the Byxtroczarz?!"
Now we are in the fourth semester and we are disasters in the eyes of our department staff and our own seniors.We care about nothing.We roam around the department with collar buttons open and Cargo pants.We make fun of our own staff:a farmer-cum-familyman-cum-lecturer is a joke for us!We bring infamy to prestigious lecturers by unnecessarily involving them in private affairs of students.We try silly jokes with our staff.(Once a lecturer asked our class guy seeing his poor record note book,"What,Diwakar?" out of concern.Our Diwakar had the sense of humour and brazenness intact to reply back,"K.Diwakar")
Future is bleak for us with no proper leadership and no one responsible.10 pointers have their own personal trouble of keeping up their performance in the upcoming semesters.5 point someones have bigger worries of "Ajith-Vijay" etc.Someone has to bell the cat but the trouble is that the cat is now a sick and hungry lion.Who to bell a lion?
I suppose that it is too early to write an obituary for "Byxtroczarz".You can write obituaries for people.Not for institutions-Bad or good.Waiting for the Phoenix to rise from the ashes.
Hail Byxtroczarz(With all our troubles)!
