The Cheshire Cat Meows Again: A Faculty Song

Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

A frequent boast is that we have the best faculty in the country. This august body of nearly three hundred gentlemen and ladies is supposed to mold our minds and shape our futures. Unkind people say that many members of that august body could do with a lot of molding themselves. We don’t. The Cheshire Cat has more confidence in the faculty than most bugs have in rugs. We would like to see the faculty grow in stature, though not individually. We are doing our best to help in this issue, with hints, advice and suggestions the Cat picked up from the dormouse.

 My favourite things –  A Faculty Song

Dodgeable questions and titles of papers

AME movies and brown-colored Shapers

Class-full of boys and ten pointer fings

These are a few of my favourite things.

lIT dames and Chinmayananda

Ladies bicycles and grey-haired phuddha

Assignment problems on massless springs

These are a few of my favourite things.

My latest paper that is one decade old

Faculty canteen where coffee is sold

The fun and frolic a conference brings

These are a few of my favourite things

.

When the bell rings

When the class ends

When I’m feelin’ sad

I ‘simbly’ remember my favourite things

And then I don’t feel so ooooooo bad.

Data Security at IITK

Our institute website, iitk.ac.in recently got hacked into, with a threat that all of our data had been deleted from our servers. Many of our institute webpages have previously been hacked into. Some webpages have such low security, that students inside our institute have been able to find out a number of loopholes in our websites. Is our institute taking any measures to handle the cyber security issues and create a robust framework? And if not, what is that we, as students, should do to prevent such malpractices?
