One of the most curious things that I found during my initial years at BITS was 'The Psentisemite', and if you thought the 'P' was a weird thing you had better read on.

These were healthy senior-junior interactions during the first month, placements during september, NSP in October and blogging in November.

One of these has been banned since 2nd October, and I think you've already figured the second one out.
But on a serious note, this is a time when you realize who your true friends are, especially during the month of September. One's true character comes to the fore, and true bonds are formed.
