This is sheer disrespect to the achievers. Dean Nattu is the loved one by all the students for his responsiveness, responsibility and the ability. Having such a person who can aptly called the King be dethroned shows me one more reason to hate BITS administration. Not sure what circumstances have led to this(as I'm an alumni now) but still this is a bad move.

I would have been very happy if Dean Nattu has been upgraded to the Placement Division. It has become worse under the guidance of u know who!!! Nattu with his contacts can sure make it live upto its ability.

So here's the cry!!

Nattu for Placements!
Nattu for Placements!
Nattu for Placements!

Dear Anurup are you being forced to withdraw your writings?

Lucky Murari it does not matter what you do matters but what matters is how well you do it...

Three decades of Mission with passion at BITS Pilani and What Next BR Natarajan BITS Pilani? Mera wardi Uthar sakthe hein but not my Himmat.

Unknown said...

Sir,

Actually, I think it does matter for us- students. If the leader is not given the right position, obviously the loss is not for the leader.Instead its the loss to the followers.
We want you in placements coz we are selfish. And we want us to benefit from ur being as the Dean for placements.

Cyber police must be hunting for Nattu related matters. Just because you close your eyes it does not mean sun has set. Eclipses may come and go but Sun, moon and Truth cannot be hidden for long. Vaibhav Soni great job you did assembling it. Mera Wardi Chala gaya hoga bur mera himmat regaya.

Bengal and Bengalis championed heavily for the freedom of India. Why Anurup the Bong is not championing for freedom of expression?

Anurup said...

Hey Vaibhav. Why would I remove legitimate comments from my blog? Expecially my own? :-)

Anurup said...

@BR : Sir, my staying on in BITS at what is considered the peak of my career should be proof enough that I champion causes much more than freedom of expression.

Two years ago, I was in a position not very dissimilar from yours. It was humiliating to say the least - I really don't want to get into the details.

You have an entire community rallying behind you. I didn't.

I stayed on in BITS still when the easiest solution would be to move out - and I really can move out at any point I want to.

That Sir, was my way of saying that I cared for this institution and would not be put off by a few bad eggs.

Vaibhav Soni said...

Hi,

I am referring to the 13 comments which were part of your original second post before deletion.

I have them copy pasted with me in a word file. If you want I can mail you them. As because of the size I cant post them all - but you being the author can.

Reason - I think people should not view partial legitimate information/views.

Unknown said...

Hi Anurup,
why did u delete this post...

Anurup said...

@Chirawa, wasn't me mate...

Unknown said...

@Anurup: wasnt you!!! then how does the post gets lost!!!!

Som said...

Hello everybody, I think this is snowballing into something that it shouldn't! It is only a blog and let us just treat it like one. There is no point in being so sentimental or holding someone to his ideals over a mere blog post :)

Here is another example of what people write on blogs: http://nymphodiary.blogspot.com

Unknown said...

Dear Anurup I have no clue to what u are saying happened to u at BITS Pilani. I was living in my WILP shell dealing with Ekalavyas of BITS Pilani and not the Arjuns in Pilani campus. I have always fought many batlles for many BITSians. U ask Vaibav Soni

Shri Vignesh said...

Hi, I am Vignesh. At present, working as a Senior Software Engineer at SAP Labs. If I were to recall my first year at Pilani I am happy I did not leave campus or do something ghastly out of humiliation caused by ragging and demotivating words that were directed at me just because I came to Pilani for ET.... I fondly remember with gratitude the encouraging support which Natarajan Sir gave not only me , but also a lot of other students who are what they are now due to those faith giving words of warmth. I am an alum now...I do not know what is going on in campus, but it pains when a man of such integrity is dealt like this.... I hope this ends up with something sweet like given placement cell to Nattu Sir.. Sir, I owe a lot to you. Thank You..

Varun Anand said...

@Som: Thanks for the link! Thats a refreshing change!!

@Anurup: I'd quote you on what you said to me a few years back - 'Its all Karma' :D ;)

Well, I'd just say its time that BITS makes the right choices at who gets what job and who doesn't. If they don't, its still not too late! As your latest blog post says 'Embrace the negativity' and go ahead doing your job! There is no better way to prove your worth than to continue doing what you are best at.

Unknown said...

Dear Vignesh Thanks for bringing a sense of satisfaction to a teacher by your comments. I would prefer to be remembered as a good human being rather than unceremoniusly removed Dean

Shri Vignesh said...

Thanks Sir.A few other bitsians of my batch whom I spoke to today reflected a sense of anguish. We all feel you are a great human being. The most important thing for a teacher is the place he has in the hearts of the students he taught, long after they have left the classrooms.Nothing else. I am sure you have this place in many of the ex-bitsians and bitsians on campus. ...

After logging into orkut, please copy paste the following link...

I am sure it would echo something.. :)

Unknown said...

Dear Shri Vignesh That is one great stuff in orkut. Thanks. I most liked that one line about Anil Kumble "Smiling Assasin"

Unknown said...

The concern I had for off campus (even after what you all call as unceremoniusly removed as Dean) should have been evident from my request to Anurup to change his expansion of DLPD as Degree Lo Paise Doh division to work integrated learning programmes division (WILPD). That is the meaning of three decades of Mission with Passion. I have no doubt that I had done a good job for WILPD, a good job for alumni, a good job as PR Man to the extent junta thought that I am PR Natarajan and not BR Natarajan and above a all decent respect from students and faculty, non teaching staff and even local community as a good teacher and good human being. I am not worried about what I am going to do but what worries me is what I should not do.I need no body's sympathy because its my battle. I let me repeat is just not a one man army but army navy airforce and BSF all put together.

DS said...

No one can replace nattu. Empowering few people on the campus and De-recognizing the achievers, is the biggest mistake done by KM and LKM.......and their group

Throwing out the hard working and great achiever BR Natrajan and Suman Kapur those who have done a lot for BITS and are popular not only among the students but also among BITSAA

Both have great potential and credentials....and both of them have proved it. They have achieved the popularity by their hard work and devoting time.........

KM and LKM have not only vanished the WILP but also the good research from bits campus..............

bitsian said...

this is not healthy for both which is my Favorite.

Sir take care of your health.

at this time i remember kishor kumar song

Dil aaj shayar hai, gum aaj nagma hai, shab yeh ghazal hai sanam
Dil aaj shayar hai, gum aaj nagma hai, shab yeh ghazal hai sanam
Gairon ke sheron ko o sunnewale, ho is taraf bhi karam

Aake zara dekh to teri khatir, hum kis tarah se jiye
Aake zara dekh to teri khatir, hum kis tarah se jiye
Aansoo ke dhage se seete rahe hum jo jakhm tune diye
Chahat ki mehfil mein gum tera lekar kismat se khela juwa
Duniya se jeete, par tujhse haare, yun khel apna hua

Hai pyaar humne kiya jis tarah se, uska na koi jawab
Hai pyaar humne kiya jis tarah se, uska na koi jawab
Zarraat hai lekin teri lau mein jalkar, hum ban gaye aaftaab
Hum se hai zinda wafa aur humhi se hai teri mehfil jawan
Hum jab na honge to ro ro ke duniya dhundhegi mere nishan

Ye pyaar koi khilauna nahin hai, har koi le jo kharid
Ye pyaar koi khilauna nahin hai, har koi le jo kharid
Meri tarah zindagi bhar tadap lo, phir aana uske karib
Hum to musafir hain, koi safar ho, hum to guzar jayenge hi
Lekin lagaya hai jo danw humne, woh jeetkar aayenge hi
Woh jeetkar aayenge hi
Woh jeetkar aayenge hi
