un año en IIT
My 2nd sem has ended and that marks the completion of one year at IIT Roorkee. Evey year lakhs of people vie for a few seats in the most prestigious institutes of the nation. Of course, this time there are more seats with 3 new IITs coming up but still JEE remains the toughest exam for undergraduate studies.
But its 1 year 1 month and 9 days past JEE and my life has undergone a paradigm-shift. First of all as i stated in my earlier posts, i didn't perform well in JEE and came here to IIT Roorkee. i made new friends while we stood in queues in order of our room numbers for 2 short hours daily (short - of course our legs started paining, but talking to each other let time pass by) . One of them is HHH whom i met while interacting in English (amid talks mostly conducted in Hindi) and i really like one of his initial comments.
(Thanks 4 ur comments M2G)
Another looked to be a teddy-bear who was quiet and spoke mostly against the atrocities committed by authorities in making us stand long. Later I came to know he liked listening English music, which i didn't much. Of course in his company I started liking Enrique, LP and stuff. Soon the bombshell had to explode, he showed his real persona which broke his image of an innocent guy. What exactly, I best leave it to him.
Teaching became more of sleeping. I confess that I slept in all subjects except Behavioral Science (why, probably she was the only female and interesting teacher). Thermodynamics, that was one subject in which I slept through all lectures without exception.
No more on teaching stuff.
Sports faster than a - I had initial interest in going sporty and I gave selection trials for Basketball NSO but couldn't make it. Nevertheless I went to play in evening though the initial interest depreciatedTGV.
Bakar - This is an integral part of IIT. It actually means nonsense gossipping for hours together though it may be productive in some rare cases. We discussed from lack of girls in IIT to rock and profs and.........
And this is going to remain an integral part of our IIT life.
Chapo - another term from IIT lingo. Made from Chai and Pakoda, it now literally means treat. Whatever it be in our canteen or in Hotel Prakash or... Seniors ethically entrusted with the job of providing chapos to juniors perform their duty vigilantly.
Of course gaming is a passion in IITs. i am not talking about outdoor games. It is Counter Strike (CS), Age Of Empires (AOE) game on LAN. People are more staunch devouts of gaming though they may never visit temple except during exams.
I learnt a lot in this one semester. I can now design websites, can pass time on orkut et al or in Bakars. One more important lesson is to take care of mess times lest you miss on your meal. So I better be going and update it later, though you may always eat outside.
