Lingua Franca-Revealed...:)

Is HINDI no longer INDI???

Recently during the preparation phase of Zealicon-2010,our Principal sir came to us with a proposal of conducting a Hindi debate alongside with our main event Rhetoric.It was a brilliant idea as nowadays all the colleges and their fests are bereft of using Hindi as their matter of presentation.We members became enthusiastic as it was a fresh idea to be cooked and the results were expected to be great.

BUT.The same ugly word comes in again!

When we put it in front of the entire team during a meeting it received a mixed reaction!The reason?

We have no hosts who can conduct the event in a satisfactory manner!Are we so afraid of speaking our mother tongue in public!For the first time I felt terribly ashamed of myself.Even I was not able to speak out even when I love to host events in English!Why?

Well the answer still remains a conundrum for me.I wan't you guys to help me out.I want your support to bring in some ideas so that we include many variations to our normal working.It's our duty to protect our own 'ma','pita','guru' and most of all our own 'Bharat'.Isn't it??

THINK AND ACT!

ZEALICON IS BACK!

Do you still cherish the moments when you proved your mettle and showed that you are the best tycoon or the best computer maniac or the best debater or the best robo-freak out there!?

Well IT'S back!!!

An opportunity to live those moments again and this time its even bigger!

New events added,new participants added,new rounds added!

What do you want more?

Enjoy the Zealicon fever!

We are proud of you!

I seldom watch cricket matches.I don't want to waste time watching the game for 6 hours and saying at the end-'Gosh!'.But don't know how I got the feeling that I should watch the game this last Wednesday.

And yeah,you guessed it right!Our own maestro did it again!this time even bigger and majestic!

But the question is- 'Why am I writing this on our own blog?'.

The answer to this is,I noticed something I never noticed before and i hope that it might be useful to all of us.I am fond of watching hte humans perform.whether it is a mason or a film star,I love to see them behave in a certain set of conditions and constraints!Take my word.You'll love it if u try.

So what did I notice??

I'll describe it along the scores of Sachin and his reaction at that moment.sorry,to say this but i started watching the match when he was on 111..:)

SACHIN-

On 111-He was playing his natural game.

on 150-He was playing his natural game.

on 167-Dale Steyn came barging on him.Guess waht he did.He passed a smile!Have you seen any youngster passing that smile in return of that verbal deluge.And the net result,HE STILL PLAYED HIS NATURAL GAME.

On 175-He was playing his natural game.

On 199*-HE WAS PLAYING HIS NATURAL GAME!

till 200-HE continued to play his natural game.

Notice the difference between any ordinary guy's reactions and Sachin's reactions!

well,the difference here comes from the mindset of a person.Do the things you like without any result orientation,submerge in the thing you do without any greed.You'll see the above difference vanishing and you'll become more calm and composed.

So,when people say-'you'll fail!!',answer this with a statement-'Who cares!.I do this because i like it.'

New contributor!

Hello everyone!This is Shubham Tomar.I have joined the Lingua Franca blog as the new contributor.

From now on i'll be posting on this blog frequently.I would appreciate the comments and new ideas to improve our blog.I would like it to be a medium which not only provides an interactive platform for the students and the society but also act as a birthplace for new budding ideas!howz that?..:)

Please come up with any idea which you would like us to implement in our future endeavors.

that's all for now.

Astalavista...:)

8/9 Final Year Lingua Franca members placed in Infosys!

Eight out of Nine final year Lingua Franca members got job offers during Infosys's on-campus recruitment drive. Since more than 160 students got final offers, this is probably not too much to boast about. But the news reiterates Lingua Franca's belief that sound communication skills and a rounded personality play a extremely positive role when it comes to jobs and interviews.

Many students who appeared for the written round called the compulsory "Comprehensive English Language Test" extremely difficult, while Lingua Franca Members termed it "manageable". Again, our members were a confident lot during the "Behavioural Interview" Round and came out with flying colors in the end.

PS - The 9th member did not participate in the recruitment drive.
