MY LIFE AT IIT DILLI (REVISITED)

Did you expect another Chetan Bhagat's 5 point someone kind of a story? Sorry, to disappoint you then. No Professor Cherian, or his daughter Neha, no Ryan, and no 5 point grades, in this story. This is my story.I hail from a small township called SANGAREDDY in ANDHRA PRADESH AND NOT Chhattisgarh, I feel this place is well known, though. This place is not only known for the CHERUVUKATTA, which is now the back bone of ALL DHOBIS THERE, but also for one other thing, producing lot of MASTER BRAINS (LIKE ME) , and is not far behind KOTA(Rajasthan), MY BIRTH STATE, in this race. Since I am from this place, I NEVER shared a dream of beating the IIT JEE screening test, (AS I KNEW THAT I AM A MASTER-MIND I NEVER WANTED TO TEST IT). AND U KNOW ONE THING I SMILE AT ANYONE WHO SMILES AT ME (THIS SENTENCE DOESN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE BUT I HAD TO ADD IT DELIBERATELY BCOZ A "DEAR" REFERENCE INCLUDES SOMETHING SIMILAR). FINALLY I got into IITD, without much hard work. I say so because, I didn't have to READ SO MUCH FOR THE GATE exam BCOZ THOUGH I'VE MENTIONED IT EARLIER I'LL REPEAT IT AGAIN "I AM A MASTER-MIND", to pursue MTECH here in IITD. I am NOT a sponsored candidate working in a government organisation. So getting an admission was almost a cake-walk (I MUST QUOTE HERE THAT THE LAST TWO SENTENCES ARE "INDIPENDANT"). The first semester, in particular the first minor, was a BATTLE WON for me (NEEDLESS TO SAY 'I LOST THE WAR'). I scored "praiseworthy" marks in almost all courses (I MEAN THE SENTENCE THOUGH SOME PEOPLE DONT AND USE IT SARCASTICALLY). I took - most notable of them was a 13 out of 20 in one of the courses. It NEVER boosted ABAT NETHIN. AND THIS IS VERY CLEAR IN THIS LITTLE 'ORIGINAL' BLOG OF MINE. IS IT NOT???! Well, I learnt a lot, during my stay in the IITD so far. I learnt how to score good marks without having much stress and minimum studies (LET ME REVEAL THE SECRET. THE SECRET IS "ASK VIJAY HIRWANI"). Back in our Engineering days, we used to take "a one night stand" towards any exam. Hey you!!! It doesn't mean what you are thinking, it means that we used to study only the previous night of the semester exams (SUCH A 'BANAL' STATEMENT BUT I HAD TO WRITE IT TO KEEP IT "ORIGINAL"). Initially I thought that it won't be applicable in IIT. But then I found out that "a one night stand" is applicable to this institute as well (IT ACTUALLY WORKS NOT ONLY HERE BUT ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD--'NAIL EM N NEVE CALL EM AGAIN'). Studies apart, there are quite a lot of things worth enjoying in IITD. Firstly, the "Dilli ki sardi". This is one season in Delhi I like the most, but guess what, good things last for a short duration. Secondly, I enjoy the "Aunty ki Chai". Now all the IITDians must have enjoyed it too. Then there is the "Shashi Parathe Wala" where almost all the hostelers have there meals, almost twice everyday. At least VIJAY doES ( LET ME TELL U WHO THIS VIJAY IS? HE HAS COPIED MY BLOG). VIJAY spendS, I guess at least twice the amount I pay towards the mess bill, evey semester, eating out at Shashi (AS I AND VIJAY PAY EQUAL MESS BILLS 'ALMOST'). Then we have the "Mezban". Another place (actually it is a canteen cum restaurant) where at any given point of time, you can find at least half of the IIT students dining (I AM TALKING ABAT INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, DELHI. THERE ARE ABAT 6000 STUDENTS IN IT AND THE CAPACITY OF MEZBAN IS NOT 3000, SO LET ME MODIFY THE ABOVE STATEMENT AS "YOU CAN FIND HALF OF MEZBAN FILLED WITH IIT STUDENTS AT ANY GIVEN POINT OF TIME". NOW THATS MY CREATIVITY).So many, memories of this place, in this short duration. Only 4"-0.5=3.5" more months to go, before I get deprived of all these enjoyable things. People say that it doesn't take time for the time to pasS by. True every word, because I still can't figure out how almost one-and-a-half years have gone by and in another coupleS of months (I WAS NOT SURE WHAT I SHOULD CALL 3.5 MONTHS). When it comes to the most memorable day of my stay, though its quite difficult to chose from so many contenders,(THE NOMINATIONS ARE
1) JAB MAINE AMEY KI -----.
2) JAB MUJHE POONAM NE HADKAAYA.
3) JAB MUJHE 9 SGPA AAYA. YA
4)JIS DIN HUM LOG POORI RAAT CHHAT(ROOF) PE BAITHE, ROAD PE BAITHE....................JAHAN CHANCE MILA BAITHE)
but yes, I will never be able to forget the night when the first student (OUR KUNGFU PANDA) of our Control & Automation got placed, inspite of the global recession. That night 5 of our batchmates including VIJAY, sat the whole night in front of my hostel, on the bare road (believe VIJAY.I KNOW ITS HARD TO BELIEVE WE SAT ON THE BARE ROOAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), and then climbed on roof-top of the Bharti Building, and sat there discussing our lives, till morning 6:30 AM (BELIEVE VIJAY AGAIN).( SO THE WINNER IS SHITTING SORRY SITTING ALL NITE CONTESTANT "4").I hope, may be, I will (NOW DONT SAY WHEN DID I COME IN THE STORY, IT WAS ALL VIJAY!!) again get to relive the moments, like spent in IITD, probably, at some other place, some other form, with some other friends and a new environment, apart from my professional commitments.N I AM SINGLE (NOT COMMITED).
