somewhere in the month of july last year, IIT-M website apologised me saying:
" Sorry, your name doesn't appear in the rank list", when I entered my registration number of JEE - 2011.
My search for NITK seat lasted till august, which again was elusive.
The dissapointment, frustration of not getting a seat 'atleast' in NITK soon died in the month of september... ! I stepped into the 'top' college of karnatka and soon joined that elite group who were probably the last batch of students to be chucked out of an IIT, or an NIT... ! For us, IIT is a mirage, like the golden deer in Ramayana, Mareechike !
.
.
.
On the day of orientation, the chief guest was supposed to make us beleive that having lost an IIT seat shouldnt dissapoint us and that in some issues, RV stands better than most of the IIT's... He was an ex-IITian himself. For the first time, I was proud of my CET rank !! I belived that there was absolutely no difference between an IIT seat and a seat here at RV....
It took a 8th mile (RV fest) and a Saarang (IITM fest) to prove I was wrong ! Sample this:
On the day of our HSS interview (Extra curricular grades), for showing the certificates of organising and participating in the Techno-cultural Extravaganza, 8th mile, many of my friends were pissed off for getting only 'E' grade. Whereas for just showing the entry ticket for Saarang, a friend of mine got away with a 'B' grade... ! Seriously, B grade is something which u cant expect everyone to get !
RV boys boast of having 40GB, whereas IITM boys have 14TB .
(14 TB of what ?? )
well... err... I cant say that !! :'>
Well, so this is a short introduction to my life at RV... 3 more weeks, and its an end to my first year.
Dumb, Idiotic, Stupid, and totally useless friends.
Not everyone gets these kind of buddy's ! From eating lunch, staring at cute girls (rare to find though), to fighting for 2 rs change in the canteen - we do it all, together ! ASN, PS, AVK, PJ, MR, PG, KR, ASK... etc (kill me if I've missed out anyone... !)
One probably will marry an RTR someday, another has vowed never to show interest in shaving. One shares my name, another shares common thoughts with me.. ! One will go on to become that nerd in The Big Bang theory (Sheldon is his name, I guess..) another will finally get 10K views for his blog ! One likes photography, another adventure while one more is so ever confused yet so sweet frnd !! ! I've all sorts in my class ! :) :)
Monotonous, Irritating, Boring,...
Lecturers, yeah.... However - as an oasis in desert - we do have some great teachers who doesnt mess up with our attendance, or throw us our for sleeping. That's the least what we expect from our teachers these days... I've got more scoldings in these two sem than my whole school and PU life put together... ! I'm not proud of it. But seriously, it's impossible to impress or atlest avoid scoldings here. Cant explain how. In PU it was different, we knew teachers closely. But its hard to find such people here...
Academic schedule looks so packed up that teachers are in a hurry to finish up the portions left, unlike in PU where we take one year to study the same 6 subjects...
Living as a team...
This is one important change in me, I feel. I'm now learning to be a part of a team. Thanks to NCC and Project Vyoma for that. Its not that I'm the most important part of the team, there are many who have worked hard for the team. Helping those ppl itself motivates you to do something for the team...
As my brother had said before, till 10+2, its all individual excellence, after that its all about how well you are in a team. Very true !
In our coll, getting a 9ptr is not at all difficult. In Engineering, anythin above 80% is reallly good...
Win or loss, its the team's effort that counts... You may have to give some little extra work and time, but when u need help, the whole team is there behind you ! That's the time when u realise the value of teamwork. Working together for a common goal, is so very special !
A dear frnd of mine SVM (IITM, only IITian I know !) and me have been a team of two... ! As a team, we have done so many things ! won few, lost few !! If am writing anything about team n teamwork, it's all what we've learnt as a team ! :) :)
Brahmachaari life...
no comments ;) !! just waiting for that special someone to fall straight from heaven and land in my arms ! :) :) My pillion is waiting................
That's not it about RVCE ... ! It's just my mind stopped thinking any further ! Maybe I'll write a blog, 'what not to do at RVCE, nine point somone', in future !! :D :D unfortunately, haven't met any of my prof's daughter !! ;) he he !!
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Thank you all...
Wishing myself the best of luck for the SEE !
