Invader Alert ! A historical Perspective...


IIIT-B was apparently an abandoned god forsaken building, before it was acquired by our dear founders.


Turns out that a long long time ago, sometime before christ was born and shahjahan built the Taj, IIIT-B was in posession of the parsians. They used a major chunk of land (where the fountain is housed now) to graze their cattle. They led a very simple life and were happy at chasing chickens by the daylight and flying kites by the moonlight. The persians had strange accents and would often shift time to time as nomads. (from where the icici ATM is now to where the UBI atm is).

Behind,( where the hostels are) the greeks too used to live a rather quiet life under an incompetent king called "Roh". King Roh used to love loitering around the pond and would sit for hours watching bubbles surface and amuse himself. One quiet morning the portuguese under the able leadership of King Tavant de Gama invaded what is the IIIT-B campus now from the side (where the UBI is housed) and captured king Roh! King Roh wept incessantly begging for mercy..and so did the persians with their strange accents. The tireless charismatic swashbuclking and merciful king Tavant granted the weeping king Roh mercy and set him free. Failure to understand the strange accented persians, he ordered for all their cattle to be executed. But King Tavant later felt sorry about the incident and built a memorial for the cattle for the persians.Shahjahan took time off his Taj and worked to design what is now known to be the DOME.

Many many years later, ardent followers of King roh, (now called the weep-roh ites) strange accented perians (now called the accentures) and the descendants of King Tavant de gama (now known as the Tavants) visit the campus for the daily cattle memorial service ( now housed at the cisco lab, first floor ...) to offer their prayers. They also sit at the OSL lab and learn about their ancestors extravagant lifestyle and occasionally weep at the sound of king Roh!

Thus IIIT-B is a fragmented dynasty which has survived for centuries from invasions by the Tavants, Accentures and Weeprohites...and will continue to do so....

I had heard of AJ's being too cool. I have even heard of a few. But this is just totally bullshit, love it.

Thanks, but i would never object to anybody who'd want to
-> Walk on grass
-> Smoke grass
-> Walk on people who smoke it
My board would have a "Slumber Party HERE" sign on the grass
