Things I bet you didn't know about IIIT'ans :)

I am rather disappointed that people are not gossip mongering these days. I hope this post encourages other people to do some factual gossip mongering. The following facts are true (afaik) and fun :D

1. It's past the first mid sem and Kulbir Saini is still not officially registered as a masters student. He has also been eating Biryani for 5 days in a row now.

2. Jyothish Soman, A 2nd year masters student working under Kishore Kothapalli on parallel algorithms, has 2 publications. Both are with Abhijit Mitra and are on biology. An ECE student pursuing a MS in CS publishing papers in Bio.

3. IIIT has only 1 student sysadmin now. That is bitgeek. When Zenwalker last asked him to send person X to the compilers lab, bitgeek replied " I'll SCP him to you." Rest assured, our servers are safe.

4. Pranav Kumar Vasishta has not only submitted his Masters thesis but also grades for Gandhi and India. Needless to say both submissions were many semesters late.

5. A certain Mythalez has submitted his PhD thesis. Looks like very soon we will have to announce his arrival with a loud "Gentlemen Dr.Dodo in da house"
