WE - the kgpians


The other day, my friend asked me to suggest a topic to write in his blog. I immediately asked him to write about our life at kgp. He thought it was a good idea, but he dint start it yet.
So I thought I would do it, I would write all the holy crap that we do over here.

When we first came to kgp after doing 12th (infact most of us working hard on our asses for one more year to crack the prestigious JEE), we thought we were stepping into some magical land, a land into which the very entry guarantees a rocking life ahead, a land of course full of fairies :D for these spectacled and worn out eyes. But then, we got nothing of what we expected. Disgusting off-campus views, boring bandis on campus, terrifying labs( the electrical lab standing tall among them), those owl-faced profs trying to corner students whenever and wherever possible......... Well some amount of the dissapointment can be attributed to the topographical and geographical location of IIT campus ( no offence bongs). And on the other side of this coin is the great fortune that everyonez in kgp is sure to get their hands on..... Friends and i got lots and lots of them..... shared, remo, dave, goldy, shaggy, naggy,dontam ....... the list goes.... it was like an unglued bond between us and as time grew it just strengthened. May be there were some minor frictions in between, but then we were good enough to come through them. Then there were these late night combined studies during these exam days ( typical IITians style), running off to canteen at 1 am and 2 am excusing it as a break during studies ( well, to be frank we never really deserved those breaks).... can i ever forget them? And those night walks to bidhan(read it as 'vidhan') chowk, chatting with friends all through the nights, some of my friends running to CIC every evening to chat with newly found online gf's (thanks to the IIT tag that we wear now :D) owing to lack of comps in our rooms. Well, that was hell lot of a first year. I actually wanted not to talk about this thing, but i guess if i dont i wont do justice to iit life... yeha.. the CGPA - cumulative grade point average- it sucked for everyone of us and it sucked like hell . Know how it feels when seniors say our batch has makhaoed in terms of CG.. gosh!! life sucks :(( . Most of my friendz dreams of maroing a dep-c coming down to pieces.. well that was meant to be so with this kinda life style.. so no regrets :D

And then came the 2nd year and with it brought the hall OP and the hall tempo... a one month of gruelling OP (should i use the term 'gruelling' for RP hall... luv ya RP!!) and then things were normal again. With all those Inter-halls, all those tempo shouts, the tensiona nd excitement surrounding each and every match of every sport ....and that astonishing Illu work, the effort that goes into it from each hall(I can bet Illu is one of the few things in kgp that IITians prove their true worth :D)... the fights between halls for the GCs, the determination of players representing the halls... that can be only felt, right?? Wait, coming into 2nd year gave us a license at home to get our hands onto comps and GOD!!! we should have restrained ourselves..... it came and along with it brought disaster.. with LAN contributing its part in this holy work. What can one say when I sit all the night, watch some stupid comedy series and bunk the whole bunch of classes next morning. Isnt that meant to be peak level of stupidity? But then thats how life has been in kgp for years and it will be so for years to come... the best thing about 2nd year was we found out cheddis... the most memorable part in my kgp life would be walking out with friends at 2 am 3 am anytime to cheddis, sitting there for an hour or two, oh god... the very thought of life without cheddis scares me!! oops.. I forgot about orkut... presently the very food and bread of kgpian (well, atleast for most of them), trying to catch fish in orkut after having not-so-good-to-eye looking gals in kgp.Hmm, all the best to all those hard working guys.

Then there are these SFs and Kshitijs... trying to add color to life in kgp...but growing with time.. these are getting bored... stop it guys!!! they rnt worth it.

Thats what life at kgp is like. This is US at kgp. This is how we do things here. And we love this place. Though we always get disappointed by it being not in a metro, by that crappy stuff they make over here in mess and they need a mess secretary to do that!!!... lol !!! (thank god all kgpians have same say in atleast one thing :P), by getting frust with our acads here, by seeing kgp going down in ranks year by year...... we still luv it. Luv ya kgp. When we go back home for holidays and sit and think then we know its value. Well, to be frank it feels like hell to be out of kgp. This life has been like a tradition for years and it will continue to be so.

I guess trying to cut down two years life in kgp in few lines is foolishness. But still........ ok, yeah I am a fool :D!!!! Uff, thats it. See ya soon bbye

i dont know if u are happy about the way life is..u seem to be..but dont you think we are compromisig on the intensity of our feelings by reaching far and wide?u said u dont think the world is getting divided (or something to that effct)..but spare a thought to the possibility that this internet stuff is the attempt to hold the pieces together rather than the bonds in a proper framework?
are you a sportsperson?..just share a beautiful game of any sport u like with a person u like and then come and tell me that internet is a substitute for it!!
dontassume ignorance on my part coz i know what life in an iit is like...expecting a response...
