Theories of Mass Media

Thursday, June 28, 2007

Ok, so we are supposed to use this blog to write articles and show our creativity, but some of you didn't know how to access the group, so I'm posting the link to the Theories of Mass Media over here. Enjoy!

Thanks, Neha, for inviting us to the blog, it does make things much easier, to post through our own id's.

Take care!

Today's commE class

Friday, June 22, 2007

So I guess I could set the ball rolling by writing about today's "communication studies" class - as its staidly called in the time-table and all other such official documents. (Of course, as someone noted today, it's like no other class I've ever attended - NO note-taking, NO textbooks, NO long hours of endless listening, oh joy!!)

I don't suppose I need to go into the fine details of what exactly we did and stuff - I hardly think this is going to serve purposes of archiving or recording the various classes today. So there were four groups, blah blah blah. All that. Face, hand, feet and stomach. I personally thought the stomach was most difficult of all - but the problem seemed to be solved by not going particularly into the biological details :-)

Our group had a really fun and easy part - the hand. At first we thought each of us would take 1 finger, and then involve three other parts (eg armpit :P ) - but then, rather predictably, no one wanted to take the role of the middle finger (ha ha!!) so people chose nails, the palm, etc.

All the groups did a really nice job, I thought, and I'm hoping this is just the beginning in a long list of fun, interesting and atypical exercises we'll be expected to do over the next three years.

I also officially began my research on the hand and the associated words (through wikipedia, of course - all hail the king of online encyclopedias [encyclopediae??]) .

Have fun!

Reason to be kind...................riddhi misra

i was searching for a reason to be kind,
but the world's cruelty made me unkind,
for money sell,for money kill,
the easiest way to pay off a bill,
the gift of a woman-innocence sold,
walk around ...half naked.....bold,
sold her soul to lucifer,
no conscience to hold her back from the new her,
guns'n'bombs sold like rice,
the reason behind-to add some spice,
the age of heroes now the past,
the generations of cowards now coming fast,
easy to end a painful life,
all u need to do is cut urself with a knife,
what is hard,is to stand tall,
but so easily they all fall,
suicide attempts....reasons-love and hate,
forget that there is something known as fate,
when bad things happen,better are on there way,
happy times don't always stay,
if not for the valley no mountains survive,
to live forever you hafta strive,
through happiness & sorrows,joys & tears,
through pieces of cake to deadly fears,
when your down & out take a shot at life,
when your down and out throw away the knife,
it takes courage to live the pain,
each moment more scary to live in vain,
but you will come out a happier man,
for that you shall have to take a stand,
to be strong when you are weak,
let no life's energy leak,
so live for the someone who's world you are,
and then when you die you become a STAR..........

The Latest.....!!

Now that we have a site for ourselves lets make good use of it ( thank u juhi!) Can i be incharge of writing the latest happenings in college?:) ofcourse others can do it too, no objection.
Ok as far as i know this is the latest....

• Next weekend is retreat for the catholic students for 3 days!! so all non-catholics get the those days off..... lucky people!

• Freshers week is supposed to be on the 9,10 and 11th of july...suject to change i think. These 3 days are fun! We usually have dress codes (dont worry they make it wearable) and lots of events to take part in ranging from the usual like indian and western dance n singin, creative and poetry writing,pictionary,dumb charades to taboo, drama etc. so all those interested please give ur names to our class rep Khushali n depending on the response the union will decide the events.

Also i thought it will be a good idea if we have a comm e group for dancing,singin and mayb even drama. Whoever wants to take charge please give me your names so everyone will know who to come to if they want to be a part of it. We already know we have alot of good singin talent in our class and im sure there are plenty of dancers and actors too so lets make organised groups to make things easier.

Post 1 from Juhi!

Welcome, freshers! Yes, sadly, that is what we are called... for the next two semesters, anyway!

Yes, I have named the blog 'These is my Words'. My grammar isn't bad, don't worry. I have named it after a book which I have been wanting to read for the past three months. It's quite relevant to our blog, because it will soon contain our 'words', our views, our thoughts.

So this is how we will express ourselves. Before I can be more cliched, I'll just stop, and turn in. I hope this year turns out to be as fun and exciting as I have imagined it to be. Make good use of the blog!

Adios!
