Velociraptors - A brief history

It all began on a bright sunny day (July 2nd, 2009). Saranyan, Prasad and I, were destined to be close friends since that first day at BIM. Not a day passes without us conspiring to do something radically evil. This blog is a tribute to our team ‘Velociraptors’ which is a brand in itself.

How it all began:
The Marwar event in the 1st trimester marked a new chapter in our Velociraptors group. The name ‘Velociraptors’ was selected by us as our team name. The name Velociraptor is well known, thanks to the vicious group of dinosaurs in the movie Jurassic Park. The literal meaning for it is ‘swift seizer’. The Velociraptors are characterized by how they hunt as a group. So, we found it fit to be our team name, as we were very united as a team. Though we did not win the Marwar event, we had so much fun which made rest of the college sit up and take notice.


What are we upto.

“We solemnly swear that we are upto no good”

As a team, we have uninhibited fun and are free-spirited. Of course, we study sometimes, as an afterthought. Velociraptors’ wicked sense of humour needs a special mention. Who can forget our Fakebimblogger, Prasad’s Kalaai’s, Birthday Videos etc. Notice some practical joke at BIM, and rest assured Velociraptors are behind it. Of course, we do it in good humour.

Know us better

Saranyan and Pravin – Spend most of their time playing cricket. Planning to shift their room to the middle of the cricket ground.

Rajkumar is never afraid to shake a leg. His dancing skills are legendary. He has been the subject for a lot of spoof videos. It’s a pity that he doesn’t realize it when the videos are taken.

Prasad: He is a one man army. Watch out for his one-liners and rhymes. Take away his rhyme book and he is vulnerable.

Navin (Paan paraag Ravi) – master of slapstick comedy. Master entertainer.

Preethi Balaa – (I’m risking my life here) Juggles her time between MBA and her job as a police constable.

Yokesh – His cap is his life.

Arun Kumar – Also called as supermodel, this guy is popular among girls. Or so he thinks.

Jaini Sreedevi – Strict officer.

Akila and Uma - "Ko Pa Se".

Sakthi Shobana - Well.. We haven't understood this kid yet.

Being proud:

“Build for your team a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another and of strength to be derived by unity”
We’ve had our share of difficult times, fights and difference in opinions. Those differences have only made us even closer. A sense of belonging to the Velociraptors group is what we pride ourselves in. The name ‘Velociraptors’ mean a lot to us. There has never been a dull moment at BIM for us, the Velociraptors.
