"The Quackers Chronicles " -Your one stop for all updates on the quackers! - A weekly newsletter -September 13-September 19

Bangalore,India -In shocking news, both bharathwaj and vasanth were spotted wearing aprons, gloves and the chef's hat.A laudable effort indeed, much needed, during such troubled times when Mr.inflation has taken a sudden fancy to reach for the stars, thereby
causing pandemonium amongst stock traders,investment bankers and young IT profs in bangalore. The chefs concocted the
perfect weekend lunch.The culnary venture invovled two operations,fried potatoes and capsicum/ carrot sambhar.But un-forseen complications forced the chefs to modify the menu, and carrot and cucmber soup was served instead."cooking rookies: the
Audacity of hope", the definitive bible of rookie's cooking in bengaluru called it "The best ever soup ever cooked, baring
in mind that the initial idea was to cook sambhar" .The reporter would like to inform the readers that while Quackers
Chronicles is a perfect epitome of a newsletter that publishes objective and undistorted news, the same can't be said of
"cooking rookies: the Audacity of hope". Last heard, bharath and vasanth were planning to apply for the post of tv chefs on
the tv program "samayal samayal" in vijay tv, so that they could pass on thier valuable suggestions to all the contemporary
desparate young women, who seem to totally rely on the tv to correct all their culinary weaknesses.The duo's perect weekend
continued, what with frank lampard, coming up with a solid performance against man city, and chelsea trouncing man city 3-1.
Quackers Chronicles wishes the men-in-blue(occasionally the men-in-black) all the very best for next weekend in a crucial
match against the red devils.Send 'em to hell ,you rocking blue(or black) boys!

College Station,TX - Vignesh had a usual week, completing Dr.You-better-finish-my-
assignments-or-else's homework.He also raked
his brains to come up with some wonderful slogans for CRY.Quackers Chronicles congratulates this quaker for doing his bit
towards improving the life of under-priviledged children.He is also preparing for the indian dinner,coming up in a month's
time. The Indian Dinner in the American colleges has always been a hugely awaited event. Dr.You-better-finish-my-assignments
-or-else was heard describing the event to his colleague as one with "wonderful food and lots of desi chics". QC
congratulates its college station reporter on some sharp antenna work.QC also wishes to clarify the Fact that vignesh engages
in kadalai sessions with sweety sharma and not preethi sharma.The editor would like to apologize for the error made.


Palo Alto, CA - We regret to inform that our Palo Alto reporter has been absconding with his report.However reliable sources
tell us that CVK, the latest addition to the quackers club has landed here.further news awaited.

Coimbatore, India - Harish "Mama" Sundaram had a quiet weekend, enjoying a well deserved rest at home after all the hard work
at Sun.Mama followed the customary mala-paambhu routine .The mala-paambhu routine or the python routine , basically consists
of a set of procedures, where in a person replicates the metabolic activities of a python snake.The python snake is known to
gorge on a single meal and then laze about for weeks, barely moving a muscle.People replicating the routine do the same,
albeit for a shorter time span of one-two days.Harish has also tried his hand at photography, this week. and it must be said that Stephen Leacock would'nt have come up with that essay where he criticizes a photographer, had he met Harish before. Harish also created a blog , wherein Quackers Chronicles can be easily viewed and accessed.Hats off to harish, and the quackers are excited at the prospect of virtually having their own official website.Further news on the official quackers site will be provided next week.

"the Quakers Chronicles" -your one stop for all updates on the Quackers ! - A Weekly Newsletter-September 6- September 12

As a philantrophic gesture, and respect towards the bonding, friendship , association and all that, Messers. Vasanth has decided to start a weekly newsletter, describing the goings -on of everyday life of Mr.Bharathwaj, Mr.Harish, Mr.Vignesh, and of course Mr.Vasanth.Other members will be added based on content availability.
Here's to the Weekly newsletter "the Quakers Chronicles" -your one stop for all updates on the Quackers ! (trademark not registered).
Other creative Names are welcome.The Author couldn't exercise his cerebellum any further to come up with a better name, despite his vettiness, due to mind boggling decisions made throughout the day over grad school selection.Anyways enjoy this week's issue!!

Quackers , refers to the club consisting of four BITSGIANS (Vasanth, Vignesh, Bharathwaj, Harish). The name has been derived from the Religious Society of Friends founded by George Fox.(Quackers Chronicles doesn't have the foggiest idea has to who he is - name lifted from good old e-dictionary "Word Web")

Bangalore,India - Oracleite Bharathwaj Natarajan spent a fruitless weekend watching 4 (at last count) movies. This is understandable , as All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.The work being refered to here , is Mr.Bharathwaj's valiant attempt to bell the cat. Mr.Bharathwaj has been spotted furiously solving problems from the book " quantitative aptitude " by Abhijeet Guha lately. Our reporter had a tete-a tete with Mr.Bharathwaj, and when asked, if he would indeed bell the cat this year,a vociferous Bharath replied " BELL THE CAT? BELL THE CAT? AM F****** GOING TO TEAR IT TO PIECES"!! Tear apart a pussy bharath? naughty! naughty! As we all know, Bharathwaj always had a way with women!


College Station,TX- Texas A&M chancellor is very proud of the latest addition to his impressive list of MS whiz Kids. Mr. Vignesh Venkatraman, has been reading up research paper, after research paper at an impressive rate. Says the chief- research paper supplier Dr. You-better-finish -my -assignment -or -else( A pseudonym - Quackers Chronicles would be grateful if Mr.Vignesh, suggests a better name for his mentor.) proudly quips " Vignesh's ability to gobble up research papers at a fascinating rate, has given a glimpse to America of the amount of energy consumed by Indians, and this has been one of the pivotal reasons for India been granted the nuclear deal by NSG". Way to go Vignesh. When not gobbling up research papers, Vignesh, also cooks, chats with his friends back in India, and engages in kadalai sessions with Rekha and Preethi Sharma. Quackers Chronicles wishes this comrade all the very best, in research paper reading and chic hunting.


Bangalore, India
- Harish "Sun Mama" Sundaram, has been very busy lately at Sun Microsystems. He has been twiddling with software tools like Pidgin. While Quackers Chronicles has been unable to extract any technical information about Pidgin, It does wonder as to why, the developers of Pidgin, simply couldn't come up with a better name. Anyways, reviews about Pidgin are welcome from all readers. Mr.Harish has also been lonely lately due to the departure of his roomy Mr.A.P.Vignesh to coimbatore. Mr.Harish
thus accompanied Mr.Vasanth to the habitual weekend hangout spot ,Brigade road.Both Mr.Harish and Mr.Vasanth, along with fellow BITSGIAN Santhosh "Santry" Ramesh, were struck with acute Brigade Road Syndrome.For the uninitiated, Brigade Road Syndrome refers to a set of symptoms which include a desperate yearning for a female companion, acquired as a result of over exposure to happy couples at brigade road.Quackers Chronicles wishes this compatriot a speedy recovery.

Bangalore, India - Mr. Vasanth Raghavan, the author and founder of Quackers Chronicles has been spending fruitless days shortlisting his universities. After an unfortunate confusion regarding issue of transcripts, Mr. Vasanth was last spotted trying to decide the colour of the envelopes in which he would be sending his transcripts."The green, threaded ones seem stronger but the brown ones would keep the water out", he mused.Quackers Chronicles hopes all issues are resolved quickly.And though he was not asked for it, Mr.Vasanth stoutly proclaimed " I went out on a date" , to refute any claims of being attacked by the Brigade road Syndrome over the weekend. Pompous Bitch!
