MY Days at IIT

Prologue

  'What's the rank?' my father asked, handing me the ACPC booklet. I said '3000'. 'Which college?' he interrogated. 'If I don't choose computer then mostly every college.' I replied. 'Ok then computer it is and don't turn pages till last, those colleges aren't worth it.' he commanded. As I was about to move to first page my eyes were caught by this abbreviation IIT. I thought why is IIT so below, until I read it's extension which goes as 

'Indus Institute of Technology, Racharda'. I laughed at those paper pointing to IIT Racharda and said 'How much everybody has sunk for money nowadays.'

  And I am pretty sure that while handing over the fees 
(voluntary extortion) to accountant at IIT Racharda those cheque paper would have laughed back at me.

My first day at IIT (Part-1)

That day didn't started on a good note as when I was getting off the bus which had already reach the college gate, my water bottle felt down and got a crack due to which the cap was loose and hence bottle leaked a little but that seemed to be least of my worry as I was aware of ragging of first year student and was constantly reminded by my elder cousins a day before. The sliding iron gate opened as I approached them. First thing I saw was group of students at broad and open staircase attached to a building but the thing that caught my attention was airplane, a hanging airplane which was just above that group. Yeah a hanging airplane at the 'entrance staircase' of the college or as the Indusites call it 'the Airport'. I wasn't surprise by airplane as for a college which would name itself equivalent to IIT this was another cheap trick to lure students. But still I was thinking about the crimes that the airplane 

had committed for which it was hanged, 'Hiroshima Nagasaki wala toh nahi he yeh'  I thought because it looked like one.

After I collected my temporary ID I was escorted to underground auditorium or as I like to call it 'The Dungeon'.  It was big enough to accommodate 700 people and therefore it seemed quite empty. I guess bus dropped me early because even last row was nearly empty. As a ritual that most of engineers follow, of filling the last row first so I went to last row, on the leftmost corner of last row I saw a girl with fair complexion, open hair like a princess. When I went to sit next to her I could even smell the breeze of shampoo she used, it was clinic plus and dove conditioner. Just as I was about to sit adjacent to her I felt a sudden movement on my chair, when I looked below I saw a swarthy hand on the part of chair where one usually sits and attached to that hand was of course a swarthy boy about same age as me.

He was staring at me, and his expression were grumpy and in bitter anger with both side of his jaw clenched. My assumption was that he was her BF. At that point I quickly thought what would a moron do and I will do the exact  opposite. Usually a moron would sit on his hand and the chair simultaneously apart from which flipping the bird would be complimentary. And the opposite to that would be giving him the chair with a happy face because who wants to get beaten on their first day of college.  Hence I went with the latter. Even after that his face was grumpy and teeth grinned. I guess that was his natural look.

Well he behaved like a wildling because this is how they impress a female in animal kingdom by intimidating other preferable male candidates. I don't know what we were waiting for in that auditorium but as I was sitting away from that pretty girl, I needed some other reason to be there. After few minutes that grumpy guy abruptly asked the pretty girl sitting next to her 'What is your name?'. Just as she opened her rosy lips to tell her name, which by the shape of those lips I bet would have started with syllable "K", she was interrupted by a skinny male, slightly taller then me.

He said " As you can see that the first row, behind that of faculties is empty, and the chairman wouldn't be happy to address an auditorium with empty first row, so all in the last row go and sit in first row. I revolted instantaneously ' No matter how many go and sit in the first row there will always be a last row and if you are sending us to first row then who will sit here.' He rhetoricated ' you first year right?' I nodded, he couldn't have care less and then he continued ' So let us volunteer worry about that.'

Listening to that grumpy guy who was sitting between me and that pretty princess, stood up and rushed to the first row as eager as a HAPSI, and sat on second chair to the left (same column as to previous row) of first row. This way he marked his territory and showed his intention of sitting next to pretty girl again, so I honored them and sat on his right side. But to my and grumpy guy's amusement she sat right next to me. I bet his GF sitting next to me, made him even more grumpy. Oh wait I did recall something lets prove it: 
Hypothesis: Grumpy guy is not princess's BF.
Proof:
Step1: Lets assume Grumpy guy = Princess's BF
Step2: Still he asked her, her name.
Step3: Conclusion is that he can never be her BF, and hence our               Assumption was wrong because it contradicts our conclusion.

As I was being happy about some of the things sitting around me, the grumpy guy pushed me back while half sitting on chair, leaned toward pretty girl and asked her  'Your name, you were interupted earlier '. 

' KUTTE apna kaam kar tu.' she replied ferociously. I thought  she has quality of both Princess aur Phulandevi, and sentence did started with 'K'. Well that made the untamed dog (grumpy guy) to return to his kennel quietly.

After an hour there still wasn't any sign of chairman of IIT Racket. Oh I meant IIT Racharda. So I took my cracked bottle out and drank a sip while there was pandemonium in the auditorium. The pretty girl asked me ' Is that water? Can I have some? ' I passed my bottle to her even before my neuron could send message to hand. While she was drinking it I could sense a pair of eyes staring right through me, I looked left it was grumpy guy who was either staring at the bottle or the girl. Well I couldn't have passed the girl to him so after she finished drinking as a courtesy I did the gesture of handing over the bottle to him saying ' Do you want some?' 
'What's in it?' he asked suspiciously. 
'POPPY ka dudh he, piyega' I said.

After which he looked at me like the white walker king and snatched away the bottle, emptying 3/4th of it. 'Hapsi kahi kaaa' I murmured........
