Souvenir Civil 2012-16

Souvenir Civil 2012-16 Some vows to keep,
Some feelings deep;
Some bonds so strong,
You will hold for long. As these good times fly,
We bid a memorable goodbye.

Greetings from the Asce Family!

We bring to you the 4th season of "ASCE PEC Alumni Interaction"!!

To begin with, we have Miss Alisha Madaan, a passout of Civil Engineering Batch of 2016. She was the Joint Secretary of National Service Scheme (NSS-PEC) and an active member of ASCE PEC. Being an all rounder throughout her studies, she has obtained AIR 182 in the prestigious GATE examination 2017. Here are some important things that Alisha Madaan has to tell us:

1. The Experience at PEC:

Those 4 years in PEC has been the most glorious phase in my life. I got lifelong friends here and have countless memories with places like admin stairs, civil department, electrical stairs, vindhya hostel and what not. Majority of the teachers in the civil department are supportive and cooperative and I was lucky enough to have one of the best class with best of friends to hangout with and chill along. There were variety of personalities in my class ranging from the "Over studious" to "the carefree" souls who all added their own flavours into everyday boring lectures which were made joyous and helped all of us to grow in a positive learning atmosphere. Overall, it was an awesome time which will be cherished forever :)

2. Difference between current life and the college life :

After college, I started my preparations for GATE and very soon, hardwork bore fruits with AIR 182 in GATE 2017 . Not only this, interviews for various PSU's are on the way.
However, During College life, It was mainly learning with fun activities surrounded by a bunch of awesome friends, without any sort of added responsibility. Whereas after college, a new phase started with a reminiscence of those golden years with an aim to achieve the target.

3) Future of Civil Engineers:

Civil Engineering has a bright future provided you have a deep interest in it and are willing to struggle for the initial years. There is a lot of scope for civil engineering discipline in government sector. However private sector demands experience for a good quality job, which definitely comes with time.

4) Advice to juniors for Gate/IES Preparations:

Self study, practice, regular tests, revision and consistency in your study matters the most. The more you practice, more will your concepts get clear. Test series are a great way to evaluate yourself regularly and improvise accordingly. Consistency is very important during the preparations especially in the last 2-3 months. Always trust yourself and remain positive.

5) Personal preparation strategy that helped you achieve this milestone :

Self study and continuous revision helped me score good in GATE. Constant evaluation through test series is a good way to know which level you stand. Apart from all these, your attitude matters the most during your preparation time.

6) Role of ASCE as a technical society in grooming its members for future

Asce must keep on educating the students about the various opportunities in civil engineering. Apart from placements, proper guidance for the higher studies must be given. Asce has been helping students to understand the area of their interest and expertise during the first 2 years of graduation. It also gives practical experience, expose youngsters to diverse nature of various fields so that they can understand and choose their careers accordingly.

We present to you our next Civilte- an expressionless, extremely slow person, who sometimes reacts to jokes after everyone stops laughing :p. This movie buff watches every movie and TV series- and he not just watches, he analyses every minute detail of them, most of which we do not even care to notice.
A Quora fan, he is a mobile Wikipedia on a variety of topics. Very amicable guy, he gets along with every person. In any group, he is the only guy whose no one wants to make fun of (Although he himself is always ready with a couple of ideas to crack jokes and have fun :p, though generally not directed on a person).
He has a very slow processor; even if someone calls for help, it takes him time to process the shout in his brain, and then reach the spot a little delayed.
He is very great at games (computer and mobile only, don't assume field ones :p ). Just like movies, he does a lot of research on softwares also- story, past, creator, etc.
As we told he is a knowledge bank and a movie buff, he has an outstanding information of computer related stuff, and knows all the links of internet piracy :p to download any stuff. Hence any software problem- Ragit is your man! Clearly justifies the line that net is his diet- he can survive without food but not without laptop! :p
Perhaps this overuse of gadgets proved a little costly for him, as he lost 3 mobiles in the last 4 years. :p

He sticks to the food he loves; if he loves eating something, he can eat it over and over again without getting bored.

He is a very calm, composed and gregarious guy, who gets along with anyone and everyone. A gem of a person, he is never a nuisance for anyone- he remains happy in his own bliss, never letting his peace of mind get affected by world's fallacies. :p

We wish this superb human being all the luck in his future endeavors! :-D

20/07/2016

If laziness and carefree nature were to personify, they would sure have taken the form of Madhav Singla! Ladies amd gentlemen, meet the shaunki from our class, who has simple philosophy in life-'Raj ke khao, chaahe class lagao, na lagao! πŸ˜€" This guy holds the record of taking 6 rasmalais and 11 sandwiches in dinner sweetdish/tea time, without letting mess workers write his name in "Extra" register. Dude, this is something! Just like the other Singla of 'Only Singles' group, buffets ate his life. He can skip meal but will only eat the food which meets his taste-buds' 'standards'. Aakhir Singla dynasty ke Kunwar Saab jo hain! πŸ‘‘ πŸ˜€
But the disappointment used to come at Communication Club. Our club's own Join Secretary saab used to go in club's events in hope of having scrumptious food after the event, but his maalik, secy of club, Viresh Verma, never let him have food before the press release was prepared, which generally took time. πŸ™ˆ Aur is tarah, ye zaalim darinda hamare Kunwar Saab ke pet pe laat maarta tha! πŸ˜•πŸ˜“ Vo pet, jiske protrusion ko dekh ke genuinely lagta tha ki andar ek nanhi si jaan ko extra food ki zaroorat hai. πŸ˜•
Always the last one to enter class (if only he attended), he preferred completing his 11-hour sleep more than attending boring lectures. And it is not even possible to wake him up, he is first cousin of Kumbhkarn. πŸ˜›πŸ˜΄πŸ˜΅πŸ’€ He used to say, "I take calculative 'leaves', so as to have exactly 14 absents" πŸ˜›. This is one of the few things he has learnt from his chuddy-buddy, Ankit Batra. πŸ˜› Or maybe, he taught Batra, because he already had these traits since childhood- he once passed his destination & kept sleeping in the train. 😝

Our Singla saab is so ominous, that as soon as he became ISTE's President, the society was closed. πŸ˜›πŸ˜‚ And when efforts were going to restart it, he asked Divya Bansal,"Rehne do ma'am, kya restart karna, kaam karna padega." πŸ˜‚

This guy is so carefree (just using polite word for 'careless' 😝), he used to hang his room's lock and key outside on the door only, after unlocking (despite knowing that we could lock him anytime we wished to, but we never did, for we knew "Banda 12 ghante ke liye so hi jayega, aur fir subah attendance short hogi 😝". And one day, someone took away his lock and key. πŸ˜‚
Bhai never suffered from short attendance, despite completing his 12 hour sleep in room, because he used to have 'setting' with every teacher. That is why he used to enter at 9:45 in 9'o clock classes like a boss! PKG had special love for him. Sovina Ma'am ka bhi ye khaas naukar tha. 😝
Due to Madhav's ominous nature, his rooms have been a magnet for 'evil demons' in every hostel. In 4th year, his lock used to oscillate to and fro the whole day, posing a challenge to energy conservation theory.
Well, jokes apart, Madhav is one hell of a philanthropist. He is always worried about welfare of people. Last year, when the Convocation got over, where he was preparing press release, he went to the caterers there, to check how much food was left over, so that it could be distributed in slums. Also, again, just like the other Singla of 'Only Singles', he used to go for donating blood/platelets at a single phone call in emergency.
Despite hailing from 'Singla Dynasty ;-) ', he is very down-to-earth and humble person, & you would never find him praising himself. The reason for his carefree nature is his happy-go-lucky characteristic; you would never find him sad, and that is why he is able to spread so much happiness and laughter. A very ethical & religious person, he never keeps even single penny of anyone, and therefore, despite preparing for civil engg govt jobs, he plans to be a very honest officer.
We wish you achieve all your dreams and goals, Madhav. Pour in your comments for our Madhu! :-D

For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow
For he's a jolly good fellow, and so say all of us
And so say all of us, and so say all of us

Let us introduce this hombre
Seems to be an inebriate, but still sober
U gotcha know him by his timbre
Want to match his calibre
Just don’t forget to bring your sabre ;)

The next time you hear someone crack a racist, classist or an elitist joke in the corridors of Civil Department, rest assured you’ve run into Agam Sachdeva!
With his command over socio-political matters of the day and his commendable oratorical skills, it is no surprise that watching Parliament is proceedings is his favorite pastime. One of the very few people who can laugh at themselves, his witty replies can crack you up any time.
He is very kind to share
Wait, but what does he share?

On Facebook – Editorials
Some people are of the opinion that he reads all these editorials and articles in the newspapers to show how much he knows about β€˜everything’…… but even if he did not know anything about the topic he would still manage to give his opinion (it is just that it would be bombarded with random facts not related to the topic)

On WhatsApp – Images of comic, sarcastic one-liners (Deep meanings), and YouTube links of old Hindi songs
His believes - Jo nasha sangeet mein hai wo aur kahan (we'll assume he reached this conclusion a a thorough regression analysis carefully weighing his other 'nasha' options)
With teachers – smiles and bug-eyed facial expressions

With friends – his heart ( If he likes you, you know it and if he doesn’t, you still know it) Perhaps, transparent, shining through

Now, let us predict some of his queries on special occasions:
Before Exam: Bhai itna kam to syllabus hai, paper mein ayega kya, kya padhu main??
After Exam: Bhai mid-term mein hi pass ho rhe hain, ab C to lag jaega atleast, attendance par dhyan dena chahiye ab
WhatsApp Group created: for birthdays, or souvenirs (Agam Sachdeva added) Bhai ye banda/i kyun hai is group mein, ye bhi dost hai iska/i :o

Before evening walk: Bhai weight lose karna hai, 75 kgs target
After walk: Target achieve karne ka time specify nhi kia tha, kuch khane chalte hain ;)

If you think he is a Grinch
Go get someone to give you a pinch
His shorts invigorate him
We are short of words to express him
God bless this opportunity dresser
All the best for your future endeavors.

03/07/2016

Time to introduce our very own knows-it-all Sanchit jindal.
Haldar! The very mention of this name can send a chill down Sanchit Jindal's spine. The famous story behind this name goes back to the first year tutorials.
Sanchit is nothing if not a audacious critic, a very vocal one at that. He ability to find faults with any and everything is perhaps is paralleled only by Mukesh, both of who will never be satisfied, whatever you may have to offer.
A ghor aalsi, will keep delaying matters, be it assignments, presentations or any other submissions. Deadlines do not matter to him, the quantity of work doesn’t, he will start in the 11th hour !. The story of how his group completed their capstone projects in the final year has become a folklore which will be transmitted to successive generations of civil engineering students in PEC
"Babbe tanu kuch nahi pta dunia da jidan mai keh reha uddan hi hunda hai"
"Tuhanu kuch ni pta, jive dhud cho makhi kad ke sutt de hain odha tuhanu sutt dena"
His newly found love of gym-ing is in sync with his overall personality in which he overdoes everything in a frenzy mode whatever catches his attention. Be it eating out, reading books, or the ongoing passion for gym-ing !
Disclaimer : If you go out to eat with him do not even think about matching up to his speed.
But each one us have some likeable and a few dislikeable traits (who doesn't? )
He always helps a friend in need (doesn't matter whether his help would be of any use ,which is mostly the case)
His confidence and boldness is something to reckon, he can back track on the words which came out of his mouth 2 seconds ago with so much confidence making the listener doubt himself.
Apart from his illogical arguments on Impedance of his speakers (which he tested using YouTube), Food security bill or even Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna he is a brilliant cook. You name a dish and he is already familiar with it's recipe.
One of the funniest guys to hang around, Sanchit can be identified by his almost comical, penguin-like walk and his habit of responding with 'sirraaa' to almost everything. A friend to everyone, he is always ready with unwarranted advice on anything and everything under the sun. His experiences with marketing and his proclivity for finance mean he is already better than 95% (CAT Swag) of MBA graduates out there. As he prepares for his journey at The Smart Cube, we wish Mr. Funnybones all the luck for his life ahead.

&Selfie Champ
How many selfies can you click in a day? 2? 4? 10?
This crap can click as many selfies in a day, as you get pi**ed off by his "obsolete" looks; yeah, umpteen times!
Welcome the biggest Quora addict of our class, and selfie-champ, Ajay Gupta!
Because his rear camera does not work properly, he keeps clicking selfies the whole day.
But his distinguishing feature is shivering of his hands, which keep shivering the whole day, and reach their epitome when there is some presentation- it seems as some earthquake has arrived!
Guptaji has a very good quality (wow! 😝 )- he selflessly teaches everyone. And he is really good teacher.
This lad with already sexagenarian hairline has grey (no, they are white) hair, has sexagenarian wisdom too. He is always concerned about social issues and wants to bring some change in the society. He has his own ways to do that.
Guptaji wants to start a business of his own (Haan bhai, pata hai, wig ka business 😝).
Guptaji, whose catchphrase is "Kuchh bhi **", lives on the philosophy "No damn given or taken". He is an "anti-social" element (😝), who either keeps talking to himself, or with earphones on, keeps listening to songs, sleeping (that is what he used to do coming to hostel in JP, Aish or Avi Shake's room. And when he is listening to songs (his favourites being Eric Clapton and old hindi melodies), he doesn't know a s**t about what is happening in the world!
He is a techno-freak, so much so that he sometimes changes mobile every 3-4 months..... kharab kar ke πŸ˜‚.

He is an adventurous type person with no stamina........ coz ghar ke laadle ko bed se bohot pyaar hai 😝.
Guptaji is a loveable person, you will always find him laughing, and never gets into fight, or even verbal tussle with anyone, and perhaps that is why everyone feels comfortable with him. Never says no to anything, always ready to serve.
Last, we end up making a revelation....... Guptaji knows how to drive a bike and car, both! πŸ‘» Bet very few of you knew....... but then, Guptaji does not believe in the mainsteam ways of coming on one's own!
Three cheers for Guptaji! πŸ˜ƒ

addict no 2
Let us welcome a semi-day scholar, yeah, because you will find him in PEC library any day, literally any day, any time! Yahan bagal me library hote huye humne kabhi shakal nahi dekhi!
He says he is able to study (seems like everything, not just study) in library only (to padhna kisko hai πŸ˜‚). During JEE preparation days also, he used to study in sec-34 library only, so much so that he now goes on outings with the 28 year old bhaiya he made friend there. 😝
And what he does there? Qoura! Yeah, he is second in the series of our Quora addicts' souvenirs, giving a tough fight to Kashish, with the group headed by our next souvenir guy.
But he is not limited to just screen, he frequently plays cricket and badminton- he played this last HPL too.
Besides, he is a fantastic orator too. Brought an array of awards, he is so in eloquence feel always that he wears formals even for smallest of class presentations.
He is very particular on work ethics and claims them to be his biggest asset; we don't differ. That is his strongest part; he strongly believes that hard work trumps talent. Again we completely agree.
And on dedication, how can we forget the name of his WhatsApp souvenir group- 'Highlighter' 😝. He has a habit of highlighting everything 'important' in books and notes (yeah, he makes them!).
He is one of those few people who, if a presentation to be submitted in April is given in early Feb, will complete it by mid-March. Commendable Ankur!
But sometimes this dedication crosses over the line into tension zone and turns him panicky, and that is why he keeps tons of backups of everything.
Due to his healthy habit of excessive reading, specially newspaper and Quora, bhai has a plethora of knowledge on nearly every topic, and thus gives good advices on any topic you consult him.
He is another (admin elates) champ from our class in forgetting things. Lost his i-pad, forgot his braces in PEC Market.
He has a unique sense of humour- he would take sarcastic jibe on you, and you won't even come to know about it.
Earlier confused whether to go in core or non-core (gadhe, fir upgrade kyon karwayi thi, vo bhi Civil me!), he is finally joining Grofers (placement has a different story), with utmost zeal. He is so excited about joining Grofers that he been consistently checking news about it everyday since his placement! We wish you all the luck Ankur, for your journey at Grofers and beyond! :-D

addict 1
"Yaar aaj nahi ja paunga sath, aaj metabolism slow chal raha hai."
"Tu fir se fisal gayi! Bohot kam friction hai yaar is pozzolanic cement ka." πŸ˜‚
Ever heard such kind of jokes near L1, L2, L3? On which you sometimes wonder for a second, whether to laugh, or he is trying to make you undrstand some very serious science concept! πŸ˜›
Welcome the TJ (Technical Joke or Terrible Joke) guy, the king πŸ‘‘ of the few Civil Engineers of our class, Kashish Kumar!
This GATE champ of our batch has an entirely different sense of humour- a technical one, which only proves his unmatchable techinal quotient. A lazy and careless person (sorry bura mat maanna πŸ™ˆ) he can spend months without getting his phone repaired and buying lock for his room, leaving room just bolted for hours.
A man of varied tastes, Kashish likes to discuss anything ranging from politics to social issues to spirituality with deep interest and knowledge. So much so that he can he can remain engrossed in a discussion for 4 hours just a day before exam (tayyari to pehle se hi rehti hai πŸ˜› ). An ardent newspaper reader, he keeps posting headlines from Insights' app on groups, specially the technical ones. He is first in the series of our Quora addicts' souvenirs, ranking no 2 in the addiction. :p
Hard work reflects in fitness too. Yeah, he has abs, man! Regular jogging, badminton, cricket, gyming are his passion. When everyone is snoring in hostel at 7:30, our KK is in deep thoughts in his daily meditation and Yoga schedule (bhale hi fir ye classes miss kar de uske baad nahane ke chakkar me, short attendance hone ke baawjood πŸ˜‚). Won a "Man of the Match" too in HPL. And as his cricket colleagues say, "Ye out hone pe kabhi nahi manta." (Maine nahi kaha, Rahul se argue kariyo πŸ™ˆ), for our Keks gets offended sometimes mazak karne pe. πŸ‘»
A die-hard Sheldon fan (was obvious), he is a frequent watcher of TV-series, specially Big Bang Theory.
He is a man of principles, hates dishonesty and corruption to the core; never even cheated in exams or quizzes- he believes in hard work simply.
Utmost dedicated to engg, this guy made us all proud by fetching under 500 rank in GATE and double-placement.
A die-hard Modi fan, he regularly watches and listens to his speeches.
Going to join Mahindra Susten, he wants to go abroad for higher studies and serve India, complying to the dream of his idol Modi.
Take India to new heights Kashish, we are proud of you! :-D

Finally this day is here.

Hanji what?

Sade MUKESH da happy birthday.

When a tiny creature with a frowning face instead of crying came into this world. Since he doesn't like repeating the souvenirπŸ˜› if you know what we mean. So we would like to keep it very short this time.

We managed to get down to your close friends on this special occasion and here they've something to tell you.

Dost 1 says : Ni main mitti de nal mitti hona chahunda han,
Tainu mitti ton allergy ae mutteyare. πŸ‘»( pta nahi kyun eska answer tu khud dhoond liyo) :p

Saheli 1 : the most craziest urf wierdest person in the world who doesn't even know how to approach a girl πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ ( the one with all organization of your birthday thing) you should be very proud always to have this person :p

Dost 2 : A thing of beauty is a joy forever
It's loveliness increases, it will never
Pass into nothingness; but will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. (such thoughts for you)

saheli 2 : Cheers to the most workaholic and obedient fellow i have ever known. 'kya bakwass hai' yaar plz subscribe to smile everyday channel. Isko laga daala toh life jhingalala.πŸ˜„πŸ˜ƒ (the hyperactive mode of class)

Dost 3 : Happy birthday - 🐍 (you don't even need a guess now)

Dost 4 : Helloooooooo Mukesh! Happy birthday yaaaaar ! (give your entire attention to first word)

Saheli 3 : Happiest birthday ever jhalli. We love for tu jo bhi hai.

Dost 5 : Happy birthday bhai. Work hard. Have fun. Make history.

Dost 6: Bhai souvenirs ka kaam ho gaya. Soil lab ka bhi. Ab to muskura le.

So we wish you the best birthday ever Mukesh. And it proves to be lucky to you. Good luck for your future endeavours.
