Site updated…
we saw it coming & now we are proud of it…
the Official website of SNIST, now has it’s first version of the students’ portal!
the loginId & password being the the student’s RollNo.
though it has been outsourced to a company…
the bugs do continue…
for example…there is no notification for sucessful change of the password!
…and yes we are still terribly dissapointed with the layout of the homepage!
Lawns at SNIST:
It’s not a Barren Island anymore…there is indeed Greenery at SNIST.
The Admin Block has surrounded with Lush Green Grass!
The Famous ‘invisible’ Clock Tower has now been converted to World Class Flood Lights!
Lack of better Pics is regretted!…and is attributed to the diligence of the ‘Guitarst’!
…who takes, “Get me some pics of the grass!”…by the Word!:)
Edited by Guitarist: Better Pics Uploaded!

New URL for the Blog…if some of you dumb morons haven’t noticed it yet!
we have moved to a new URL!
snistscreamers will now redirect to snistblog…
thanks to our beloved guitarist!…what was supposed to be a 2 min, 10 dollar exercise!…became a nightmare spread over 2 days & 30 Dollars!
the initial idea was to….
go for snistdiary.com…which our anna guitarist registered as snistdairy.com!:)
and for the intellectually challenged!…
Dairy <--> A place where you get Milk/Amul etc…
Diary <--> A record with discrete entries arranged by date!:)
then we wondered if a Diary would be the right place to express opinions!
afterall we use diaries to just keep records of what happened through the day!
then we mulled on snistjournal.com…(Guitarist called it, “the Online version of perestroika!”…now we do remember the history there…don’t we!)
…thus we ended up with the simplest of all options…by naming this space snistblog.com (SNIST-Blog: the Voice of SNIST…)
….hope you guys like it…and more importantly find it easier to key this into your address bars!:)
B-School Interview:the following is an excerpt from an IVY League B-School Interview…
P1: a General Management Lady Professor
P2: a Geeky ‘Dean of Admissions’ & IIT/IIM Alumunus!
Me: for now let’s just say Spy…!
Starts with comfortable things like family, background etc…and then…
P1: any hobbies?
Me: started listing out…stopped at writing blogs!
P1: do u have ur own blog…
Me: yes…it’s called SNIST Screamers…
P1: Why ‘Screamers’…why not something more melodious!
Me: the idea was to create a platform for students to vent their voices about things in the College…it goes with the Title…”the Voice of SNIST…”
P2: do you consider yourself to be a part of a closed system?
Me: not really, it is a blend of both Literary & Creative ideas…a place where people can publish their work, for others to see and comment on!, and more importantly an effort to integrate everything at one place to ensure maximum viewership…and the corresponding credibility!
P2: do the faculty write ur blog as well…?
Me: as of now, No, they do follow it!
P1: maybe they do…under some anonymous name!…(laughs!)
…and then…we move into the more uncomfortable…JNTU related Stuff!:)
