Welcome aboard all .. !!

This is a group blog project for the students passing out from the ECE department of Jaya Engineering College, Chennai, 2005-2009 batch. The blog will be co-authored by all the batch members and we're looking to get everyone to contribute his/her college memories here for a start.. you could also treat this as an 'online slam book' where you can write in your opinions, rants, complaints about anything related to our college life.. feel free to 'slam' anything you feel like( some ideas - you could start with your fellow classmates, college staff, college administration, the group blog effort).


If everything goes well ( ie. if we manage to get a good response from everyone) this blog will soon be filled with candid thoughts, experiences etc. from all of us. And then.. this page can also be used a news board to share our progress/experiences in the coming years. Writing in here might seem a little trivial right now to some most of you, but i'm sure we'll all feel great about doing this when we look back a few years on. We'll also use this space to put up album links of our group pics, get2gether plans ( if they happen ;) ) and maybe even used to record small g2g's between us classmates. In short - use this space to do anything you think is related to our college life. we would actually prefer to see you post candid rants rather than formal perfectly drafted posts.


I'm sending out invites right now, you might have to create a Blogger/Google account if you don't already have one to start blogging . Also, i'm taking an effort to reach everyone in our batch, but in case i missed anyone/you, please mail me and i'll add you in immediately. Mail me/buzz me on YM if you have any difficulty posting, or anything else. The group blog project has just taken off .. i'll consider it half done, if/when we get everyone to join in and follow the blog and it'll be 'complete' if everyone chooses to contribute in regularly with posts/comments. I know getting a supersuccessful response is going to be very tough (knowing our class...), but we'll even settle for something like... say.. a few people forming a core group to update regularly and the rest of them following the blog, interacting through comments etc.


Let me suggest some post ideas, for a start you could post about your thoughts about the last few days of college, i'm sure we'll all have lots to say on that topic. you could summarize your college life, diss people you hated/people who you think sucked and maybe thank people who helped you/were good.

More later ..

@all: try and shock/surprise us with a 'good' response. that would be so soopercool...
