Alma Matters :)
The halcyon days of college are always close to any person's memories and it is the mega events like Spring Spree that bring out the best among all of our college lives. The Spirit of Spreedom has always been very high in the campus right from its inception... and as generations pass on from their brief, but very lively and purposeful stay on these grounds, it is heartening that the love for the alma mater never wanes.
This spree, a lot of credit goes to our beloved seniors. With their generous philanthropy and oodles of succour, Spring Spree 2008 is all set to be the grandest success yet in the history of NIT Warangal.
So here's a toast to all our alumni!

The Stoned Rockers of NITW
Wahey people.
Our fest co-ordinator just asked me to mention the website as often as possible on the blog. http://www.springspree.org/. Now that thats done, I can get down to writing.
Vogue... the things it makes people do. Some years ago, in central europe you'd see one out of six women dressed up like a poodle. After TZP, 10% of the guys in college had their hair erected like one of those dhaba huts outside college. Apparently, that wasn't it . A new craze is pulsing through NIT Wit veins now.
All of a sudden, everyone who knows about LinkinPark, thinks he can do one better. With Indian rockbands like Parikrama and Mother Jane gaining international acceptance, our techno-phobic engineers to be are looking for a new way of life. It all started off, ofcourse, with the naming of our college rock band in the previous sem. They call themselves the Phoenix Connexion. Wonder what it means? I know a Phoenix is reborn after death or something... but this band was born not from death, but non-existence! Ah well, people do strange things. The second phase of Rock-O-Mania at NITW started off recently, when the spree rock competition was announced.
*Break* I forgot, I am to constantly advertise the webbie... http://www.springspree.org/. Please visit it and give our co-ord's soul some peace. *Break Over*
Ever since, everybody who has heard Metallica, or has seen a guitar before in his life, is forming a band. This is how band recruitment works :
Phase 1. Two people together get the initial brainwave... "Dude, if we work hard we can win. The only problem is, I can't do anything, and all you can do is bang the guitar tunelessly. But thats ok. Since we are the ones forming the band, I'll be the lead singer, you play the lead guitar, and then our band is almost ready. All we need is two more guitarists and one drummer... all backup people.. we'll take any random fella who will listen to what we say."
Phase 2. They end up finding two guitarists better than themselves and take them in the band. Yeah, thats one thing NITW has enough of.. guitar players.. and wannabee guitar players.
Phase 3. They search the college, and every other place they could go to... for a drummer, but in vain. Then, they search for somebody who has played the tabla at some stage in his life. They find one, and the band is ready.
Phase 4. They try to look for songs that they can play. What they basically look for, due to talent constraints in the band, is... a song with easy drums, easy vocals and a reasonable guitar. Apparently, there are many such songs available. Good for them.
And the band is ready. Then, they go to practice. They download tabs and lyrics for their songs, and practice day and night (pity their roommates....).
And soon, God save us, they will perform.
