Quack! Online

I’m writing this from my Marketing Manager’s office, who by the way is never around. My company wants to implement the concept of IE (Industrial Engineering) in their apparel manufacturing process, unfortunately it seems my Production Manager is more interested in increasing his productivity and getting his female workers to work harder. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying he’s all bad, he has managed to convince the company to install an air conditioned floor and has worked with Swedes, Sri Lankans and Chinese, set the company’s lines; it’s his insistence that internationally applied methodologies cannot be applied to our own industry.

Here’s something interesting an idle mind came up with. WHAT ARE THE 5 THINGS YOU WISH YOU COULD HAVE DONE WHILE YOU WERE IN TIP.

Here I’ll go First:

1. Gotten the Magazine out on TIME :S
2. Worked Harder on My THESIS
3. Wish I could have gotten along better with My Hostel Mates (Ancient History)
4. Not Mess Up at the Inter-University Debate (VERY ANCIENT HISTORY)
5. Make that play on TIP I had been planning for the past 2 years

Here’s the Video I played at the annual dinner, hope you guys like it. Graduates 2008 .

The song that’s playing is Collapse the Light Into Earth by Porcupine Tree.

Never, have I seen a foreword, which is more self-protective, especially that of a magazine. Talking Textures has been one of my favorite student magazines since a few years. Not because it’s all so colorful, but because it was open and just so true. Exactly what student life is all about. Untroubled, lovely, cheery and cheesy, just about everything. Never, would I have thought, that I would come across a student mag, where I would find myself being forced to accept the fact that something as unnecessary as sex is … what? A part of a student’s life? Where a few have stared, wolf-whistled, snorted and possibly haw–ed over it, my friends and myself raised our eyebrows over the attempt to make common, this tabooed topic. I fail to understand the possible need of asking us believe that swear words, as in, real swear words should be included in a students’ magazine, because that’s what we students do. Swear at each other, and ask each other to bed? Ha!

I must admit, this naïve shot has gone missed, and probably damaged the reputation TISF (or for that matter, the Publications committee) had.

Nice try dude, but, get a life!
