@AniruddhaDeb how's it going??

in JEE Chemistry Club, 48 secs ago, by Aniruddha Deb

how's stuff at BITS? Online classes / extracurrics?

Aniruddha Deb

hehe

Safdar Faisal

Online classes mein feel nahi aatha..

BITS was all about the campus life lol..

Aniruddha Deb

same (I'm sitting in one right now)

Safdar Faisal

@AniruddhaDeb lmao..

Aniruddha Deb

how are extracurrics tho? I'm into quizzing/debating here :P really liking it

Safdar Faisal

05:00

anyway, what about co-currics? anything new?

@AniruddhaDeb I've been into app dev a bit.. starting to learn python.. other clubs aren't that great online..

Aniruddha Deb

ah nice nice... we have DevClub and Algorithms and Comp coding clubs as well but I'm not much into them at the monent.

Also I just realized chem SE doesn't show you if the other person is typing

Safdar Faisal

nope.. it doesn't.. it isn;t instant either.

chat is primitive here.. lol..

Aniruddha Deb

I've got so used to seeing when the other person is typing; its like picking up body language in a conversation lol. Covid batch issues

Safdar Faisal

:XD

Aniruddha Deb

also do you know M shashank reddy?

BITSP CSE first year

Safdar Faisal

05:04

I know very little about non-state mates.. online sem issues.. haven;t socialised much.

Aniruddha Deb

You have hostels right? Or have you not been given a hostel yet

Safdar Faisal

@AniruddhaDeb you've already been assigned one?? Our campus is saying next year is also gonna be online. so why hostel??

Aniruddha Deb

no we've just been assigned a hostel; we don't pay mess fees unless we're on campus

also some people (very few) were onboarded after/during first sem if they had recurrent issues

hostel/department/extracurricular whatsapp groups are where most of the socialization takes place; we have meets sometimes but not everyone turns up.

Safdar Faisal

damn.. I need to socialise more.. :P

what about acads, JEE level or worse?

Aniruddha Deb

hm I actually find it kinda easy difficulty wise :P

time management is a bigger issue

Safdar Faisal

05:11

JEE mains vibes lol..

Aniruddha Deb

thing is profs have absolute control here, so some papers are hell and some are okay

Safdar Faisal

Topper ho kya?? :P

Aniruddha Deb

our electrical minor was a 2 part exam; clear the first part and you can sit for the second part. And then they cut the time from 40 to 30 minutes in the middle of the second paper

that was not a good experience :(

Safdar Faisal

@AniruddhaDeb yikes..

Aniruddha Deb

yeah most papers are alright though... marking still sucks :/

wbu? BITS would have that zero attendance policy thing right? (not that it makes much difference in an online semester)

Safdar Faisal

05:14

@AniruddhaDeb I chilled tooooooo much.. paid a heavy price.. trying to catch up now..

@AniruddhaDeb zero attendance is a scam.. you need to attend to get marks kek..

Aniruddha Deb

@SafdarFaisal ooof

lol lectures are recorded tho right

Safdar Faisal

@AniruddhaDeb that is for online sem.. offline tho who bhi nahi.. at that point you dead..

Aniruddha Deb

hm good point...

Safdar Faisal

time wise how is your day?? you get time to do what you want?

Aniruddha Deb

mostly (I don't do much though apart from coding, nothing's changed there)

Safdar Faisal

05:17

@AniruddhaDeb Any amazing code designs i should know about??

Aniruddha Deb

haha I had been working on this game of life thing a while back; into comp coding now

also made a few discord bots

Safdar Faisal

python??

Aniruddha Deb

yep discord.py

game of life thing was also in pygame

speaking of which, what's your discord ID? (if you have one)

Safdar Faisal

I've started to learn python recently..

@AniruddhaDeb banned from using it at home kekw.. parents told me to catch up first.. :P

So, I'm stuck with JEE part 2.

Safdar#0268

Aniruddha Deb

@SafdarFaisal F

okay if you do begin using it, I've sent you a friend req :P

when does second sem end for you guys?

Safdar Faisal

05:22

Jun 30th.. endsems start on jun 19th..

wbu..

Aniruddha Deb

I have majors from 9th to 12th June, then summer vacations :D

Safdar Faisal

for a month??

compressed sem tha??

Aniruddha Deb

I think vacations are till august 1, not sure

Safdar Faisal

Damn..

you lucky.. :(

Aniruddha Deb

@SafdarFaisal yes, compression = lot of pressure :/

Safdar Faisal

05:24

@AniruddhaDeb Atleast year 2 will be more chill ig..

Aniruddha Deb

@SafdarFaisal not really, for people who had covid or had family members who got covid 2nd sem was not so good

fortunately we've been healthy so far... what about you?

Safdar Faisal

What is going out?? It's been far too long.. :P

@AniruddhaDeb I agree. Second wave was (and is) bad

Aniruddha Deb

at IITD we had a lot of people who got covid or lost family members, because most people from delhi and delhi was in a very bad state 15-30 days back

Safdar Faisal

I don't think pilani had it that bad.. but it was still torturous..

what about vaccination? dose 1?

Aniruddha Deb

no my parents are below 45 and we didn't get any slots so far lol

it's ok tho, everyone is staying at home anyway so minimal exposure...

Safdar Faisal

05:28

I'm on dose 1, but that's just halfway there and it doesn't count until the end one..

Btw, any recommendations on resources for a web designing language to learn?

Aniruddha Deb

@SafdarFaisal ah nice.. we were planning to get dose 1 as soon as a slot opens up

@SafdarFaisal hm W3schools for basic HTML/CSS/JS ? maybe move on to a framework like angular/react after that

Safdar Faisal

@AniruddhaDeb parents got a slot from their office.. so got it done 2-3 weeks ago..

Alright.. cya later then?? I'll be on here so feel free to ping me.. :D

Aniruddha Deb

Yep will do :) nice talking to you as always

cya around ✌️

Hey @SafdarFaisal! chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/152243/… .This is my question link, hope you recall. I didn't wish to extend technical discussion there as it would have been out of context. . I wanted to ask that what made my question get a downvote. What should I do in my further questions to not get into a situation where my question is good but still downvoted

Safdar Faisal

I cannot say why your question has as many downvotes as it does, but the main reason for your question getting closed, is because it has 3 main question. Albeit interrelated however, it can be compressed into one question. Here in most SE sites, it's one answer for one question.

Also, don't worry too much about the downvotes, Let me see if I can edit it be more focussed.

Raviraj Bhosale

Very thanks for your kind gesture @SafdarFaisal ! I will keep what you said in mind henceforth on SE sites while asking a question. 'One answer-one question'

@SafdarFaisal OCl2 is very much directly related to the question. But we did edit it out, will it be fine to include it again?

Safdar Faisal

@RavirajBhosale Tbh, the $\ce{OCl2}$ part wasn't very important since your final question was the main one.. You need to decide what to give focus to. You can ask that as a separate question just for OCl2..

Raviraj Bhosale

Okay. Thanks mate! Will you mind if I ask these general technical doubts here? WOn't trouble you much
