The final yr sun is slowly settin n my student lyf along with a lot of my friends n mates' is on verge of completion....a journey spannin 2 decades of fun,play n growin up is nearly over....as we look back we c a lot of things which we will never ever xperience again....from our moms n dads holdin our hands to write that first alphabet to the fast paced typin of computers n touchpads we all have come up a long way...its really difficult 2 sum up everythin n everyperson involved in dis process where we go thru the transformation kiddos-->smart citizens,but i guess the 4 yrs of our college lyf(engg 4 most of us i know ;D) will be a good reflection of when we were students
We all r eternal students....we always keep learnin(yep u too....n i know u aint a nerd)....but oficially we wont be students nemore(well most of us...though i envy those of u who plans higher studies ;P)
This blog is dedicated to all of u guyz n galz who will be student no more come jun2011...
U wud think wats new....we hv already read 5.someone....nope its not at all similar 2 it...tht was IIT,even a dud ther ends up being chetan bhagat....here at NIT n other colleges,u c lyf in a whole different aspect...we aint IITs....our profs also knows tht,so do us....n i can guarantee each one of u can relate it 2 ur lyf as i will go on....so frends here is the thing tht we all will cherish forever....
yr 2007
AIEEE result day
yippy got SR 104...."bhad me jae IIT"....i wud get 2 stay at home right here in Rourkela...n frankly NITR is no less(actually more happy tht i wud get a byk if i stay at home ;D)...but what branch 2 choose??wont get EC 4 sure...but all other options r open lukin at last yrs admission...
DAD:take a core branch...
MOM:Take whatever u lyk...god will guide u...
ME(Thinkin):Lets c whatever will b the trend i'll follow(no lakshya)
Counsellin day
hmm...seems lyk EI is the hot fav in my level....ok ill take it(wahi semiconductor transistor padhna hi h...ho hi jaega ;D)
nxt seems CS...but wait...with my compu knowledge(i barely knew how 2 copy paste n stuffs which kindergarden kids cud defeat me in nowadays) it wud b tough...but ok lets follow the trend(EI toh milna hi h 99.9% sure)
nxt EE n ME....dad bhi khush ;D...i guess tht wud suffice
GOT CS!!!!
how can tht happen....god cheated me....last guy to get EI was SR103...just 4 1 rank i m into unknown territory....last hope slidin(though it never happened)
back home
ME:Mom ur god cheated me....he gave me hope n now i am all alone
Mom:god has done whatever he thinks is gud 4 u....put ur faith in him n u will definitely succeed
ME:yah....now god will teach me na....with my compu knowledge "ho gaya"...i wont last 4 yrs....infact i dont even hv interest in compu....i lyk cars...shud hv opted 4 mech....damn this compu...dont knw how on earth i ended up takin this bloody trade :x
MOM:u will c beta
ME:yah whatever :x

SENIOR:beta kahan ka h tu?
ME:Rourkela
Senior(esctatically to his friends):mera beta!mera beta!
ME(kinda scratchin my head n thinkin):pagla gaya h sala....beta paida hua jaisa kya uchal rha h...sab sanki bhare h kya idhar!!!
SENIOR:ladke ye kya pehna h be !@#$% kal se full formal....no ghadi,no belt bahar mil dsouza school ke samne poora funda batata hoon....aur sunn...tu rkl zone ka h....koi aur zone wala kuch bole toh chupchap sunna par karna kuch nai
ME:ok bhai(aadat se majboor....used 2 call school seniors bhai)
SENIOR:bhai kya bol rha h be !@#$% sir bol aur 3rd button dekh
ME(reluctantly):par sir mai toh T-shirt pehen rakha hoon kahan 3rd button dekhun!
SENIOR:@#$%^ kal se
ME:ok sir
damn it!!i feared this day n now its infront of me....pata nai kya kya karwaega sala...kahan fas gya!!!
thruout the yr i played cat n mouse games wid seniors...never came in formals...seniors named me dude n i was the most targeted junior untill that day wen somethin serious happened...
all the seniors n juniors who used 2 meet at the raggin session at dsouza school(did manage to avoid it everytym) were summoned n were handed severe punishment....soon everyone found out the so called mole who leaked the info n now i was the 2nd most wanted(phew)
1st yr passed by wid the hectic routines.....disastrous results along with markin patterns never even imagined(2.2/10 thnx mr bisoyi) ruled the yr n now i was in a branch wid no interest in it+a cg tht makes sure i m doomed+targeted by seniors+havent made ne good friends(hostelites used to bond among themselves...bein a dayscholar was kind of a curse ;( with the schedule ther was no tym to make friends at hostel as most of our tym was spent in the insti itself :()
lyf cant be more messed up...but thers always a silver linin....4 me it was my home.....atleast had my family 4 company n mom's food ssslurp...so chalega ;D n den ther was the love of my lyf(dont float ur imagination ;P) cricket...india hv won the inaugural T20 WC n everything was not bad
