Background : A very dear friend of mine recently could'nt digest a change in our academic schedule. The schedule had to be changed in view of the autumns placements coming up and the idea was to squeeze everything so that students have more time at hand to prepare for their interviews. There were 4 of us who were involved in bringing about the change and advancing a few exams so that we could finish everything well before companies start hitting the campus.

I don’t quite get it when for every issue that you want to bring to public notice you have to resort to stoppage of work. I wonder how they do it in other states in India. On second thoughts I think I know how they do it in other states without disrupting normal public life.
