Run up to placements === part 1
hey frnds m writing after a long long time...........but this is 1 phase of my life which i wanted to script down since a long time........it all started frm the oct last year...........the most awaited moment of our career......it was none other than our placements......the buzz was already around that companies gonna visit early this time......and the tension and excitement was already building up.
so the process started with our so called ppt( PRE-PLACEMENT TRAINNG ) classes ....... and the stuff which these companies ask for written test is nowhere close to engg standard........it was all normal common sense maths thing wid the grind of those dreadful english vocabs.the ppt classes begun and since then we never knew wen our day started and wen it came to end...........normal classes frm 10 that stretched to 5 in the evening..............then just 1 hr break and we had to rush back to attend ppt classes.
so the first day was quite a day for us......wid the long lecture of Mr Sujit pradhan........supposed to teach us personality development ( though wid his beards on he himself looks no less than osama )......and the experience was quite painful ...he went on and on self-prasing himself wid his so called 101 national and intertaional certificates and blah blah blah........and the kind of unbearable accent he has... he was in no mood to stop...........and that day only i knew that i m not gonna attend his class atleast.english mam was ok types but her rule sort of thing to take test at the end of every class made her very unpopular .... obviously among us.it all went upto 9 and till we had our dinner and reached our rum ....it was already 10..........so it was a 12 hr grind for us.......and after reaching rum we always had to arrange any movie to refresh our body and soul( ya movies r the best way to do it ).it all went on to become more and more hectic ........ most of the time we used to have our breakfast,lunch and dinner in the same clothes wid our bags and bfor entering our rum even 1ce......as the days passed on more and more tension gripped our minds.........and wid it the new year too announced its entry ........ bringing the actual dates of 1st comp visiting our campus quite close.
In jan it was time for tests ,tests and then more tests ........ they even started a 24 hr test rum where any1 can go anytime and test his skills on 10th standard maths..........and that boring english grammar ........ and all the rules that mam taught us.........infact intuition worked better than the rules coz more grammatical mistakes used to occur wen we followed the grammatical rules wat mam taught us.GD( group discussion ) practices also started ( yeah some comps have an extra round called gd....u can call it Bull fighting).the very first gd which i was a part of was no less than a fish market where ppl were just fighting around wid their voice and miss shweta tyagi being my opponent.......left every guy in my grp dumbstruck wd the sheer intensity of her voice.in all these hectic moments ..... the sole kool time that we used to spend was canteen ...... but thr also only placements talks were making rounds.
came feb and every1 started showing bit seriousness now.........wid every1 solving maths from 10th class........learning vocabs from the list of words that they gave ( i tell u mugging up those 500 words was 1 sort of PITA).......now i was discussing maths in chats also wid miss chits everyday coming up wid a new ques.........and while doing it i used to say her that we always gonna rem these days......though how much we cursed those days............it was no doubt fun and an experience of its own kind...................till the 1st company arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That LEGENDARY "very good" paper
hey frnds........i m back after a bit of extended break.....all coz the classes have restarted...........though we havent got so much busy( xams rnt thr)..........but still lots of other non-study related stuffs take our time.................then also i culdnt stop myself putting this 1 account of the very 1st day of our coll after dp vacations...........which is full of hillarious moments..............all the credit goes to Nirmal and his L . E . G . E . N (wait for it) D . A . R . Y act.
so on the eve of our 1st day after vacations we werent feeling even a bit of excitement .......... though coll reopening after a break of 2 weeks should have been enough to fill us wid all the fervour........but i guess ppl in engg feel more comfort staying in home rather than attending those boring classes.................and we r no different than those species.
i was also thinking and was bit down even wid the thought of again attending those 5 long periods on monday.....................but never ever imagined thaton the very first day we gonna have a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ............. so the story goes like this...........it was AI( artificial intelligence) period ........ and our very own HOD (head of cs department) and probably the koolest teacher on the block.......... came wid our mid-sem papers ........ bringing wid it a lot of useless excitement and buzz among those shitty front benchers.................we backbenchers were as usual normal as xam papers r not the kind of stuffs which gonna incite any excitement within us................we 4 got our papers............and marks( out of 30) in acsending order were like this................Kannu got 18 ....... i got 22 ...... Abhinav got 25 .............. and the Best 1 ............ Ladies and Gentlemen the one and only ........ the legend of AI ......mr Nirmal Jha ................. just managed to get his half marks cut and got a bloody 29.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now the story starts here..............do u ppl rem wen we used to get comments on our xam papers ... comments like ( very good,excellent,well done)...........nowdays kids r awarded 5 stars on their copies if they behave well in class as abhinav's nephew got..................newayz those were the good old days ......... probably in class 4 or 5 wen we were kids......................but HOLD ON.......................isnt this Engineering.............whr we rnt supposed to have these kiddish things on our paper.....................but the pride of Backbenchers .............. mr nirmal ( i have started Mr since that day out of sheer respect that the comments on his paper generates) ..............not only he got 29.5 out of 30 ( bringing in lots of speculation among front benchers and toppers who dont get a clue that how a backbencher like him can score so much) ............. but GOT a " VERY GOOD" remarks on his paper................probably the first time in the history of any engg student ........... and just the sight of watching this unusual stuff on nirmal's paper brought in 3 of us a pill of uncontrolable laughter that we culdnt stop even though teacher was in the class.................we 3 as usual were in no mood to let this legendary sort of act to pass by and decided to celebrate in our own Grand way ................. so it statrted wid a kool video shoot of nirmal's paper ......... whole paper was scanned .... keeping in mind it can help the future legends of AI!!!!!!!!!...........and it was no less than any1s expectation ......... all the ans xactly according to wat teacer gave us in the notes ( surprisingly he didnt write the bookish stuffs................how intelligent of nirmal naaa!!!!) .......... all the fig. made wid pencil!!!!!!!!( i hardly rem wen i took any pencil to xams ) ........... a neat and clean paper wid 10 out of 10 in every question ....... just half maks were cut in some ques ( must have slipped out of AI's legend's (obviously nirmal yaar) mind)...............the live commentry of the video was officially provided by none other than kannu.
after video shoot ....it was the turn of our very own pics wid the legend Nirmal.........ohhhh sorrry.........not wid Nirmal.............actually wid his legendary " VERY GOOD" paper...............and i tell u i never felt so proud ever in my life..............all this nautanki in the last bench was going on wen teacher was discussing some imp stuffs at the front.............but who cares wen we have got such a legendary situaion wid us..................and we throughly enjoyed ............ culdnt control our laugh................and bechara nirmal .......... his legs were aching till then..........all coz the the leg pulling he has got frm 3 of us!!!!!
So the very 1st day was a blast and ver proud day for us...................coz a backbencher got "very good" in his paper( though he will repent it thruout his life coz the kind of nautanki we did after that) .............. and hamare sar ko uncha kiya .......................... at the end i will like to say just 1 thing ...
WE R PROUD OF U NIRMAL.....................Hi5 for BACHBENCHERS.
hey wait 1 ques left...................i wrote 3 whole pages .... totally filled it ........ i dont know wid wat crap..............but still got mere 0.5 in that ans ........... will any1 explain y the hell was so????????????????????????

Those Maggi Nights
hey friends.........i m back to my home away from home.......a place full of masti..thats my hostel.........after spending a week of holidays of dussehera.........finally i came out of my comfort zone(my home)........agaid had a long train journey.........and here i m back to hostel......to my untidy room.......whr we have spent so many memorable "maggi nights".......oops i guess u wont understand it now......slowly but surely u ppl gona know the importance this maggi has held in my life ......specially in my engineering days.
well after my admission in this coll..........the most imp thing bothering me was that how will i be able to eat maggi now.......coz i just love it.........and if i go back a bit to my history ......then i used to eat it almost each and everday........and my unflinching love for maggi continues till date...............okk so back to present..........the whole 1st year in coll ...i missed maagi as much as my parents,home,my pc and my bed. being the freshers thr wasnt any source for it ...... and i had to do wid that sada hua food of our mess.........but then in the summer vacationmy rumy brought a water heater.......and somehow prepared maggi wid it.........ohhh i just cant desribe the experience........eating my fav thing after a year was like feeling of being in heaven.
since that day.........i became the self assumed best maggy cook of the hostel.........wenever the dinner used to be bad...........we 3 rumys just decide 1ce ......... and normally at 12 or 1 am in the night ......... our door is closed wid all the stuffs ready for maggi................i do all the cooking.......agneya just brings water and cleans the plate............and abhinav does the most hard work..........yeah u guessed it right....."eating"...........wen the maggy is finally prepared the room is filled wid the aroma and our mouth wid water..........and then we 3 together relish our delicious maggi.
so after knowing abt the pathetic food in my hostel....many ppl ask me how do u survive budddy.................and i guess now this blog of mine will clear all those doubts of my frnds........who havent tasted the sugar coated food of my messed up mess.............and me being the voracious fan of maggi(can eat it day in and day out)............it wasnt too much a difficult task to survive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Proud to be a Backbencher
hey m Back as a Backbencher..................yeah thats the word ......... we r known as...........thats the word we were tagged wid , the very first day i entered my classroom...............and wid this tag ......... all the unlimited fun started..................believe me its a treasure of fun and enjoyment u wont at all get newhere else in the world.
1st year was as usual full of fun and excitement........wid as many as 120 ppl in a single class!!!!!!!!! u can easily imagine the situation of poor teachers..........till then we havent formed our kool group 9 yet............but come 3rd sem .....class was divideded to jst 50 ppl.......and karan and nirmal from IT branch joined me and abhinav in computer science branch...............and since then the last bench had been ours...........a kool airy place...........made more kool by 4 kool ppl .
well u name anything........and every stuff we have tried thr.............most of my novels were completed thr.........abhinav always wid a magazine ........ and nirmal being the most sincere of the 4 tries to listen to boring lectures(we 3 dont even try)..........but fails most of the times............coz we dont let him..........kannu(karan) being the least concerned for studies....though he is most intu...........has got his own things to do...............most of the time sleeping.............and all the crazy and emabarrasing moments that culd have happened in class occurred wen me and kannu sit beside each other.....................coz wen we to sit together.......thn thr r hell lot of things to discuss........everything right from girls , to movies,hot couples in coll,my dream gal "G...L" ,things we gona do that weekend and talking abt teachers' afairs too,deriving new formulas to calculate love cmpatibility .............and we have been caught doing this endless no. of times(though abhinav peridically cautions us that teacher is watching us)..........and its a common scenario we 2 standing together...........or orders summoned to leave the classs.........and i dont know y we dont even feel any shame.the most funny situation is wen any teacher gathers enough strength to ask us any question..........and wen finally he does so........me and kannu r the 1st bakraaas..........and pat comes the reply"i dont know" .....even bfore the question is over..........nirmal looks intell from face so he is never asked any question...........though i m damn sure he wont even be able to ans...........and abhinav does try but to no result...........and more funnier is wen toppers of our class gets up and ans the ques like they have won any sort of battle and proudly takes their sit..........unknowing of the fact that they have been booed a lot from back that no1 even gave a damn or even listened to the ans.
a kool atmosphere at the backbench.........rocking music being played from nokia N series..........for which demand for different songs coming from different parts of the class......making us some sort of DJ.....wid our hands firmly placed on the sound button...........as we have to be pretty fast to turn the sound low wen some teacher once in a blue moon comes back..........and its a funny situation wen teachers come at back side...............all hell loose that time ........ wid all 4 of us searching for our copies ,pens and other study related stuffs...........atleast to show teachers that we r far more studious that those shitty front benchers........and wen teacher finally come to back side...till then we all r in so much poised and calm situation as if nothing was going on thr.........and its a proud feeling wen teacher returns to blackboard all satisfied wid us...........but we dont care coz till then we r back to our own ways....same music,novel,gossip abt how we have fooled the teacher again.and then our chants start......."1...sir plzzz leave us........2..have mercy on us......3...sir next class( i generally say next semester or next year)...4....sir break" ..... some teacher do oblize.......and some show courage to defend but not for too long......and then its time for some maagi brk at the canteen.
it really feels as if kind of two different world exist in the same class..............1 consist of some sincere frontbenchers........all the gals.....a boring teacher.......all wid a single motive.......padhhhhhhhhaaaaaaai!!!!!!!!!! nowadays some toppers have started sitting in the back but wo log wahan bhi padhai karte hain yaar!!!!.....poora environment kharab kar diya hai last benches ka.The other world to the back of class...........whr we ppl totally unaware of the other world coexisting in the class..........no idea abt wat rubbish going on thr........totally indulged in our own relishes.........even teachers have stopped visiting our world.......coz they r well known of the fact that we dont know anything.........but we r no less......getting gud marks and surprising those same teachers......prooving the point that they r useless.......ha ha ha....finally at the end of the day its the BAckbenchers who r winers all the way......i guess u ppl agreee..............coz life is like this only.....fultoooo masti most of the times and bit of studies wen it is extremely required......and still come out wid flying colours.
1st Day Of My New Begining
hey frnds here i m to take u to my world.....................so here i m gonna take u to the start of my engineering life.............no doubt the best days of my life.............whr i met new ppl.........made gr8 frnds........a close grp of 9 frnds...........and obviously had a blast wid them coz thats 1 part of the lives of all 9 of us.........for which we all share the same memories.
So after much hustle - bustle ........i finally landed to KIIT bhubaneswar...........a deemed university ..........and surely 1 of the best colls of india..........and the very 1st day was filled wid lots of incidents........here i took off from auto ....... took my luggage and finally able to find my room( thinking y the hell they have put 5 ppl in a single rum!!!!!) ........ wen i went inside........found my rum filled wid so many ppl.........my new rumys ( who went on to become some of my closest frnds).........their parents ........ and then more parents........who were as usual giving necessary instructions to their wards wat to do and wat not...................so thr was formal intro between all the rumys and i was glad to find out that 3 of them were from DPS (always a nice feeling)..........coincidence no. 2............thr was 1 more amit in my rum!!!!!! thn some1 asked me " beta whr r ur mom and dad...........have u come alone" ......... and i was like.....back to my home and again missing them a lot.............i said yes uncle ...... but i m not alone............i have loads of luggage wid me!!.......all around thr was lots of excitement and nervousness as well coz of the dreaded seniors and their ragging methods................coz on the staircase only i was reprimanded by a senior(whom i thought initially as a freshser as well) not to wear any casuals...........and from next day we had to dress in total formals....huh.....and i had none of them.........and a big part of my day was spent purchasing formals only.
so....then me and my frnd(my skulmate shakespere deepak coz he is damn gud in english).........went to taste the food at kiit...........and u know wat ......... surprisingly we were impressed............not to menton that we never thought that day.......thet these same cooks have the habbit of putting sugar in each and every dish........making it almost untouchable..........after having lunch we came back to our respective rums.......i had some rest ........ evening was again filled wid lots of news of the seniors....that they gona do this ...they gonna do that.....and i was no doubt bit scared like every1 of them.........but i was happy that my rumys r pretty kool and surely coming years will be gr8(and i wasnt wrong)........had my evening tea and snacks......and wen i came back to my rum........wat i see...........a guy talking very loud and non-stop......i found out that he is sandy( my rumy Abhinav's skulmate and in a different rum).........i was so disgusted ki how much this guy talks yaar..........i kept quiet and helpless that i culdnt either close my ears or his mouth.......but now we laugh a lot at it.....coz later on the same guy sandy went on to become such a gud frnd and a member of our Group 9...........but that day he was still a disgust......and thank god he finally left...........so all these discussions made it close to 2 am...........and we had to go back to sleep coz the nezt day we had to attend our boring orientations( 6 hrs of boring lectures by every top authority of coll......my god they were boring!!!!)........so went on to have my first night at Kiit.........and thats how our eventful day came to an end...............but not for agneya and other amit(my 2 rumys)............coz in morning we came to know that they were still talking till 4 am....no doubt abt girls ( as later on they went to become 2 well known flirts of our coll).
so finally all this took place in the very first day of my engg career.............whr i had come to achieve all my dreams in coming few years .
