Irony of an NITian(Single I only)!!

"Son, Where are you studying?"

"I am in NIT"

"Oh! You mean NIIT!!"

This the most common reaction I get when I mention my college name. Come on guys,at least you can show some respect to the "could have been IITians"!! Don't say NIIT, we are at least better than them (though I would avoid any chance of knowledge duel with them!!) and studying in a national level government college.

With a little more effort,concentration and luck we could have avoided the identity crisis by being an IITian! But we also rubbed our asses hard to get in here and get mentally raped and our asses spanked by the professors,their assisgnments and even the authorities each day probably like an an IITian. Being in NIT at a place like Rourkela also doesn't help because most of the people outside Orissa don't seem to have sufficient geographical knowledge about the town. And so probably they end up thinking

"Poor Kid! Couldn't even get admission in a good city!!"

And some even speak their mind out like one of my relative!!

"Hey where have you taken admission?"

"At NIT Rourkela,Uncle"

"Oh! Where's Rourkela?"

"It's in Orissa"

"Why did you take admission there? You could have gone to Delhi. Or even Bhubaneswar NIIT would have been better if anywherein Orissa!!"

"No.No. You don't understand. It's not NIIT, it's NIT. National Institute of Technology, an engineering college!!"

"Oh! Why didn't you try Bangalore then? I heard everyone can get a seat there. You could have too!!"

And the story becomes more ironical when you know that his son is studying at some engg. college in Siliguri!!

Even a person as knowledgable as a CBSE school principal in a town reacted

"Never heard of it!"

when heard of NITR!!

My cousin had once said to me

"Dude! Why didn't you took admission at J*****guri Engg. College. It's the best in India with a campus of 240 Acres!!"

And my reply was

"I ain't qualified enough to get in here and I am happy to study in smaller campus of just around 1000 Acres!!

My friend once snapped

"ITS NOT NIIT, Its NIT. Haven't you heard IIT and NIT in the same breath EVER??"

Come on guys! We know we are not IITians and we also sometimes feel bad for not being one so but still we are one of the best. We are NITians!!! And I am proud to say that. So next time before poking your nose and commenting on ourselves, please update your knowledge a bit and also learn the difference between one 'I' and two 'I's!!!

P.S.: Dear bloggers, blogger.com has been blocked at NITR because according to the intellectuals in the administration, its a DATING & MATRIMONIAL site!!!

G.Mats THINK ABOUT THIS

Disclaimer: This is my first post in which I have targeted my friends. It does not involve any humor. Sorry for this. But I have written it from my heart and I too want best for you all. Just consider few questions asked here.
(My blog is inspired from one written by my dear friend, to read his view Click Here.)

This is a question to all those students away from home, what do you expect from your batch mates with whom you are gonna spend some precious years of life???
A little bit of support?
Is that too much to ask?
Which college doesn’t witness mass bunks?? Students in other colleges mass bunk for days, let alone a period. But for few of our batch mates, it’s like committing a sin for which they could get destined to rot in hell forever. For them life since school is getting up early, praying, attending school daily, return back to home ASAP with no connection to the outside world.
After getting to college where every teenager feels a sense of freedom, their already dull life becomes dead. They change their routine though!! Their new routine become like
1. Getting up early to study in a calm n cool and try to boost their already swelling CGs environment when others are sleeping after enjoying their nightlife.
2. Going to classes early so that they can capture the first bench right under the nose of the prof. where they can smell his sweat n feel the spit and chalk dust falling on them for some extra TA marks.
3. Returning back to hostel as soon as the class gets over (if they don’t have to do any more butt kissing of the prof.) without even paying any sort of attention to the “Disturbing Elements” of their batch.
4. As soon as the net is connected, try to get some extra knowledge on Wikipedia and google on the topic taught so that next day they can meet the prof. alone with their new gained knowledge and gain an equivalent status of his son-in-law.
5. Study as much they can and Sleep well before the night life of hostel begins so that they don’t get indulge in any malpractices.
The routine remains same for their 4 yrs. Of B.Tech.

Dudes don’t you think that there are more things in life to do, more adventures to try, more heart thumping moments to experience. Or do you feel satisfying in living a dead life like this?
Have you ever thought that you have already wasted your teenage life like this?
Some give the excuse that we will have fun after we get jobs. For them, don’t you think your 8-to-5 life will transform into 8-to-8 life? When you wanna have fun, either you will found yourself alone or your body will no longer support you in having fun!!!
Dudes these are college days, our happiest days in life, days which we will remember in our entire life, memories of these days will light us in the darkness of our old age, these memories will bring smiles to our faces even during the toughest days of life.
Have you ever thought how many have you collected such memories even how many friends have you made???

Btw, before signing of I want to tell this to a dear batch mate. Dude we were not some Bajrang Dal elements who were asking for mass bunk, we were your batch mates. I know attending one class would give you 1 extra hour to have a look at the sole girl of our batch and you speaking against us might impress her a bit too but do you really think she is the one who will support during your tough times here or us, your friends??

Best of luck to all the G.Mats for your life!!!!
