MIT’s technical fest is back and bigger than ever! If there’s simply too much for you keep up with, you’re unwilling to leave the comfort of your room, or you just want a refreshing take on the happenings, The MIT Post is at your service. Stay tuned for live updates from TechTatva 2018.
This is The MIT Post, from The Manipal Conclave. We are currently in an half-hour break and still recovering from a mysterious technical issue. We apologise for the lack of content.
It’s five by my Rolex, and we shall wrap it up for the day so that our friends at the Conclave can take over
This pizza’s been roasted well, just like me on our Liveblog.
How’d you know that I have nothing on my profile if you’ve never stalked me?
You shouldn’t have to worry about that since there’s nothing on your LinkedIn profile
Siddharth, we’ve heard of people stalking others on Facebook, Instagram, etc. Why do you stalk people on LinkedIn?
Our food fairy Godmother
If you cant beat ’em, join em (2)
With the sessionals coming up next week, I really wish that was me too.
I really wish that was you, Vignesh
Could someone get me a ‘strip’-per for my wire?

Hello Siddharth. I hope you’re happy with our transition from the MIT Post to the MIT Roast.
Welcome back to our live blog. The theme for this year’s TechTatva is Reminiscing Greatness or as we at The MIT Post call it, yesterday’s roast of Vignesh.
It’s a wrap as these guys do not want me to Post anymore
Rain rain go away. Fuel RC wants to play.
You could print yourself a better brain so that you can come up with better insults
I am pretty sure you are hoping for a better education since you repeatedly fail to spell Siddhant
I’m pretty sure the Sri Lankan team are hoping that their matches will end due to the rain, Siddharth. They wouldn’t have to face the ignominy of a whitewash.
Play has stopped due to rain
At least someone’s enjoying the rain.
