After a long time...

The internet is back in the hostel after a long time. It had been almost twenty days since the net stopped working in the hostel. Apparently, the local VSNL office had caught fire and all connections were damaged. Nevertheless it had been set right at least a week ago. But there was still some problem with the hostel server and only the girls' hostel had no access to the internet. The cyber committee has been most nonchalant and careless in this regard. We were made to run around from one committee member to the other almost everyday. Finally, we approached the convenor only to realise, to our dismay, that he had resigned. How careless can the authorities get! Doesn't the student body have a right to know the activities of the Committees of the college? A matter such as resignation of a convenor ought to be made public at the earliest for the benefit of the students. And it is not as if we aren't paying for the internet. We are shelling out good money for it and obviously expect some service let alone good service.
The internet is needed the most now since the final round of the intra-university moots are on. The problem is on International Law for which substantial amount of research is from the internet. The mooting community has been on tenterhooks for the past week because of this. I am not mooting this time but I do understand their concern. Anyway, I am glad the net is back. However, I am really unsure as to how long it will remain this way. The server may konk anytime and it will be back to square one again... Anyway till then, I shall keep updating my blog.
I have my viva on 13th and i have studied nothing for it. I better get back to work before it is too late and I flunk my viva...
PS: nobody has ever flunked his/her viva till date. It is not possible since it is only out of five marks which forms a part of the semester paper. SO if at all you flunk, you flunk in your semester paper and not in the viva. Yet, at the rate at which I am going I think anything is possible....
