This is the time of the year when you could find every second person whispering the same few things again and again ….. ” Can’t believe this day would come so quickly ” …. ” Time really flies so rapidly ” …. ” I’ll miss this place , these guyz , all the fun , stupidity and not so substantial yet so memorable moments we spent together ” …..

Reason being the end of yet another academic year …. An academic year which was nothing less than once in a lifetime experience for me …. Infact all the three years I have spent doing this funny , mysterious and awesome course have contributed in building up the most memorable period of the god-so-damn funny and complex life of mine ….

There are few things which always remain the same …. One of those things is the sheer pleasure which we extract in mocking the guys of the tougher branches while they concentrated hard in understanding the mechanics of gears or the complex procedure of switching and stuff ….. I always knew that making a jump from ECE to CSE was a wise decision …. But what I realized of late was that it was a decision which has virtually changed the way I looked at engineering …. Everything is so so so very easy if you are a computer science guy …. Just few hours of studies , and you are deemed to score more than an electronics guy who has spent sleepless nights trying to understand microwaves and antennas …. ;) …. CS totally rock … :D

Apart from studies ( if there was any ) , the frequency of late night parties and night outs has surely increased over the past two years ….. When I completed my first year I thought that the best part of my college life is over …. But second year was even more exciting …. and third year had still more of it to offer …. Thats precisely the reason I am so looking forward to the next session …. the session which I am sure I will never ever forget ….

Life comes in various shades … So does every second , every minute and every day of our life … You never know when the curve on your lips can flip …. You never know what the next moment has in store for you …. I was no exception to this fact …. There came a period in this year when I was completely shaken from the very roots …. I seriously never thought that I would ever be able to come out of “that” thing …. It was the most ugliest phase of my life so far …. But every cloud has a silver lining …. And this is not a saying …. Its a scientifically proved fact ( read manuals for the proof by iteration …. lol :P ) …. Anyways , the reason I say this is because this was the very incident which helped me evolve , taught me a few lessons and most important of ‘em all ….. I got to know that I have got so many gems as my friends , which I am sure will always stand by me , no matter what …….

………………………………………………………………………………………..

And guess what …. the entire session has gone by and I am still wondering what was the reason they tagged the room I was allotted as “The Haunted Room” …. Goodness me …. I was so eagerly waiting for Mr. Ghost for a special appearance …. But he never came ….  People say that the room was too small to accommodate two ghosts …. I suspect that they might be correct …. At last , I was the last ghost man standing …. Yayyy … I won … I guess I was deadlier , in the end  !!! :D

Now I am back at home …. But for the first time in three years , I am not very excited to be back home …. As a matter of fact , I never wanted to come back …. Infact , most of us didn’t …. The reason behind this abnormal behavior can be credited to our beloved seniors …. Three years we had been together …. and its a time long enough to form a special bond with someone ….

They told us many secrets about this awesome college of ours …. They told us how and why Sagar Bhaiyya was to be remembered in case of a power cut …. Why it was necessary to go from single to committed within the first year itself  :P   ( now or never kind of a thing … ;) …. Life is a race … Be quick … or all the good girls will be taken ) …. Though I still oppose the way they exploited us to complete their assignments …. But still we owe a lot to all the support they provided us with ….

Now when I bid them a farewell …. I know that though we will still be in contact …. But we are not going to meet each other at every random place in the campus …. Now the meeting will be scheduled and once in a while …. The “good morning sir” which was a sign of fear in the first year , has eventually turned to respect …. And I will surely miss them all …. If you are reading this , I just want to say that I love you all …. and will dearly miss you …. Wish you all the best for the next phase of your life ….

………………………………………………………………………………………..

The rooms of the final year hostel has been allotted according to the merit …. Bad luck … :( … I am stuck with all the studious and introvert guys in my lobby …. I can assure you that there will always be a pin drop silence in presence of this guys …. Scoring high in exams can sometimes be harmful as well … :( … Got to find some way out of this bookish company that I have been forced upon ….

………………………………………………………………………………………..

Yaar majaak majaak me final year aa gaya …. Still can’t believe that we all are super seniors now …. C’mon guys … This is our domain now …. We are the most experienced and most powerful … ;) …. Enjoy every moment henceforth …. coz time flies …. and it will not be much long when all of us will find bidding each other goodbye …. and entering the ruthless competitive world , trying to leave a mark of our own …!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been out of touch with the blogosphere for quite a while now . Infact it has been more than a “quite a while” . No I am not suffering from a writer’s block . Its just that a thing called “examination” had forced me out of action for few days . Its not that I was dying preparing for these so called exams . I had ample of time to update my blog but still , my heart said that it would be really unfair to the much dreaded semester exams , and so I decided to wait . No more crap now . I am not going to blabber about how much I hate exams or why someone had to construct this system of testing our knowledge ( which anyways resides in our brain for just 24 hours …. Exams over …. Knowledge over …. ) ….

Being from a CSE background has its advantages , or should I say multi-advantages . All this while when the electronics and mechanical guys ( and few of the computer nerds too ) were busy banging their head against the wall out of sheer frustration and jealousy , I was busy observing these creatures who were suffering from this pre-exam syndrome . I still have got one more paper to go and they have decided to give us a whooping 4 days break to prepare . And you might be shocked to hear that few of them has already drowned themselves in the books .. Poor souls …

Coming back to the point … as I said that I was busy observing these engineers , I noticed quite a few things .

  • Everytime these brainy kids met on their way to water cooler or mess , they made a point to inquire “Abey Kitna ho gaya tera ???? ” ( How much of the course have you covered ) …… trust me , I really get irritated at times when this question is shot at me …
  • And now the best part ….. every other person whom I asked the same question had the same answer …. “Arey abhi suru hi nahi kiya hai yaar …. araam se padhenge” ( I haven’t started studying yet …. will do it at ease ) ….. Everyone in my college is born Einstein I tell you ….
  • And then I tried giving a different answer for a change … Another guy asked me the same question and I replied that I am going to start revision now ….. He started laughing so hard …. “  poora ho gaya … aur wo bhi tera??? hahahhahahaha ” ( You have completed your course … hahahahah ) …. I felt like thumping him right in the face , but restrained ….. Since then I always took the safe part ….. neither the “haven’t yet started” melodrama nor the “have completed everything” crap ……
  • And one interesting thing that I observed in the electronics and mechanical guys ….. whole year they keep boasting about how good was their “core branch” and how much scope it offered ….. but when exams came …. all of them had this utter desire to make a jump into CS or IT ….. interesting ….
  • The extent to which these EC and ME guys are jealous of us is quite evident by the angry comments they leave on our FB statuses ( ones which say that we love our branch .. we don’t need to study like EC guys and more stuff like that … )
  • All the insomniacs of the hostel were seen running to Nescafe to get that magical cup of coffee which would keep them awake for the time being ….. Who needs sleeping pills …. Books are more than enough … ;)
  • Every minute of sleep is nothing less than an elixir for the totally exhausted brain of ours ……
  • Everyone formulates a list of umpteenth number of things to do once exams get over …. but as soon as it gets over …. they are totally blank , unsure of what to do next ….
  • And now the golden and most obvious observation …. No matter if it is a 2 days or 3 days or a 4 days gap …. Its only the last 24 hours or so that counts …. 11th hour study rox ….. ;-)

P.S. Few exceptions have been found to these observations …. But nothing doing …. you won’t find these exceptions out of their rooms and away from their books at any time ….

I still have one more paper to go ….. and before that one , I have got 3 complete days for total rest ….. My branch CSE is nothing less than heaven …..  :mrgreen:

The reason why I am sitting in front of my desktop at home  and not thrashing my head on the table at my hostel , preparing for those good for nothing sessionals >>>>

Quoting from Dainik Jagran ….

And from Navbharat Times …

http://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/delhiarticleshow/5789858.cms

Final year students were , apparently , very very angry at the way the college administration was going about the placement activities . So they decided to do the things “their” way . The day before the sessionals were scheduled to commence , the entire campus experienced a complete blackout ( courtesy to the Electrical Engineers  :P … now you know what we are doing engineering for ) .

There was no lack of unity when it came to the support that other batches offered towards the strike . Ofcourse we showed no reluctancy , as the strike meant an escape from the sessionals and an unscheduled week off from studies . I guarantee that almost 90% of the participants were just like me , i.e. they didn’t really cared about the placement activities , all they looked forward to was a week off and all the enjoyment that they could extract out of this event .

The damage to the property that was caused in the process was not at called for . At last , it took police forces and one DM to bring things under control . In the meantime every non-concerned party took care to reserve a berth for their way back to their home , only to wait for an official notice declaring resumption of the session .
