I had started to get the hang of thing s in the campus having spent a few days . Basically getting the hang means what to do and what not to do in campus. I had been hearing a lot of things and had certainly come to know what were the things that I should never do in campus. First and the foremost thing was – NEVER VENTURE INSIDE THE GIRLS HOSTEL , unless of course you wanted to pay a fine of 25000 bucks or have a disco against you . I would like to specify here that disco is no fun as the name suggests . It is the disciplinary committee comprising of a bunch of blood sucking vampires waiting to screw your life at the first given opportunity . If you are lucky enough the disco will not throw you out , but having a disco against your name in your resume means that your chancres of getting a job are as good as nothing up .In short words if you get a disco you are f*****.
The next thing on the not to do list was never ever take ‘panga ‘ from any of the seniors, and then there were the usual don’t be in the bad books of teachers and all that sort of stuff. Basically stuff that your parents always keep reminding you every day dozens of times. I was not very sure about the to do list .One of them was certainly to impress Pooja . I had also been advised by many ‘padhaku ‘seniors’ to attend all the lectures .”If you attend all the lectures you are sure to score above an 8 point .”Sadly attending all the lectures was not as easy as it sounded. Into the first week only I had missed many lectures.
Anyways things were going quite normal. I had almost become habituated to the boring and hectic routine . ‘I had better do something quickly otherwise Pooja will forget aal about me . Man this routine is so bad , all the time go to lectures , this routine is getting to me.’ These thoughts were ringing aloud on my mind while I was coming back from the last lecture.
Sameer – “Hey dude wasup.”
Me – “Nothing man, thanks for helping me out with the D C stuff.”
Sameer- “ No problem bro , anytime .Waise what are you doing in the evening.”
Me – “Nothing much , why?”
Sameer – “Aise hi I was planning to go to velinos.”
Velions is not any place inside our campus but that in no way undermines it importance in the life of the students of our campus. It is a shelter for most of the guys during frustration , sorrow or even for that matter happiness . Now let ,e make it clear if you are wondering something else. Velinos is a bar , a place where you get cheap booze . It is almost every time filled with the students of our campus.
Me – “No yaar I don’t drink “
Sameer – “Real chicken you are . Come on man everybody drinks . You gotta start some time, why not today?”
Me – “No yaar not today , sometimes else , waise bhi the warden has called a meeting of all the students in the common room today .”
Sameer – “Your choice , anyways I ‘m not coming to that useless piece of s****”
As ypu might have guessed by now Sameer was the typical metro city boy . Booze and gals were a very common feature for him. He was nice at heart though. He was a computer wizard, he knew all those things which normal people like me take a lifetime to know. One other feature about him was that he used to help each and every guy that used to turn up to him for help , at least that is what I had observed. In a very few days we had become good buddies , though our nature was poles apart still we somehow gelled together.
Rohan was waiting for me outside my room when I reached there
Me – “Yo wadddup how was your day “
Rohan – “Ok , in fact if you ask me good in a way. I have been made temporary hostel rep until the elections don’t take place”
Me – “Whaaaat , Wow man , is baat pe treat to banta hai”n
Rohan – “What treat do you know how much work I’ll have to do and it’s only temporary . Once the elections come anyone can become the hostel rep”
Me – “Yaar you are ever so grumpy”
Rohan – “Whatever , anyways as a hostel rep I have been given the responsibility to collect all the guys in the common room in the evening so you had better been there”
Me- “Aye aye captain ”
Rohan – “Shut up””
The common room in the evening had a different feel to it . Normally it was a place to laugh about and jokea around play T T or watch T V but today it was full of students who were looking very serious.
“What could be the matter , why has he called a meeting?” A boy asked me as I was goining toward the common room
Me –“I don’t know probably introduction”
“OOO I see , by the way my name is Ayush . I live in the room opposite you “
Me – “ I’m ----“
Ayush – “ Puneet I know”
Puneet – “And how is that?”
Ayush – “I saw you in the first workshop lecture but since then you have not shown up for any lecture”
Me – “Oh that , ya man I am just too lazy to get up “
Ayush – “I ‘m from Delhi and you ?”
Me – “Patna”
Ayush – “Oh nice …….hmmm”
Me – “Let’s go to the common room before it gets late. Waise bhi I have a reputation of coming late and I don’t want to live up to that “
Ayush – “Ok chal”
In the meeting called by the warden we were just lectured about the usual stuff you know the stay in your limits type stuff. We had two wardens one was a residential warden and the other was a non residential warden . The only good thing about the meeting was that I could all guys of our hostel all together . After the meeting there was a lot of buzz among the boys. Young boys and rules , these two words don’t go side by side . The boys were not very pleased regarding some of the rules especially the 11:30 rule.
Boy A- “What does he mean by saying that we cant go outside the outside hostel after 11:30 in the night”
Boy B – “Arrey the CSA is trying to break that rule , they are saying that this rule is not long to stay it will go soon “
Boy c – “And how come we can’t come into the campus after 10 :30 in the night “
Boy A – “Dude we are in goa , the haven drugs so they had to be a little more strict”
Boy B – “What they can’t expect us to live like saints “
Me – “Li8 lo boys we can’t do anything about it “
Boy A – “O yes we can we can kick that warden’s *** and tell him who’s boss”
Me – “No way man we are just a week old in this campus , you don’t want to get into some sort of trouble “
Mean while Rohan was silently taking down all the cell no’s of the boys to keep a record for the warden .
Me – “Way to go hostel rep abhi se hi kaam , not bad not bad”
Rohan – “Shut up your big mouth and help me get these sheets photocopied”
Me – “Wo Wo how did I come into the picture man “
Rohan – “Coz Mr Big Mouth thinks he’s my friend”
Me – “Okkkkk man, I give in , god only knows why do I listen to you “
I spent the next half an hour getting the sheets that Rohan had given me photocopied .Meanwhile I saw Sameer coming from the opposite side.
Sameer – “Yo bro doing some work eh ……”
Me – “Nothing man , was just getting these sheets photocopied”
Sameer – “Work and only work is what is on your mind, you should learn to enjoy life man “
Me – “Chuck it man “
Sameer – “What chuck it these are the golden years of your life you are letting them go down the drain , I bet you didn’t have any girlfriend before what is her name…..aha haan Pooja”
Me – “I didn’t have any girlfriend , true , but Pooja is not my girlfriend at least as of now”
Sameer – “Don’t worry man , if you stay under my guidance she will soon be”
Me – “You must have had tons of girlfriends , you sound like a pro “
Sameer – “Girlfriends kya cheez hai bhai , all this is moh maya. I had many flings but didn’t fall for anyone .How can you spend your entire life with a single person , at least I can’t “
Me – “I am a noob , I don’t know anything”
Sameer – “Don’t worry man , lets go Shahi .I ‘m feeling hungry “
Me – “Shahi kyun , mess chal abhi paise nahi hain”
Sameer – “Don’t worry bro , tera ye bhai hai na , chal”
Me – “Where do you get all the money from ,you spend it like water”
Sameer – “Li8 le man , I don’t do ant wrong stuff, my dad has his own firm in the U.S.”
Me – “Wow , then why are you studying here , go and join your dad’s firm”
Sameer – “Why should I , he manufactures bathroom fittings , bathroom fittings man , who would be interested in that . I have my own plans”
Me -“Like”
Sameer – “I want to develop an operating system that is fully hacker proof , then
I want to develop the world’s fastest supercomputer . In theory it is possible but no one has attempted it in practical”
Me – “Wow man you have all the things figured out I have not even begun thinking “
Sameer - “Li8 le , lets go to Shahi”
Me –“Arrey yaar first let me give these to Rohan “
Sameer – “Arrey he can wait , apna hi admi hai .li8 le”
Me – “Ok chal , but if Rohan says something I am blaming you “
Sameer – “Ok , Ok now come”

LIFE IS NOT A PARADISE
My college had a very unusual timing , for instance classes used to start at 8. Wow , have you ever heard of any college starting at sharp 8 in the morning ,give me a break .We students work our a**** off during our high school , studying late till nights, going to all sorts of coaching classes , mugging up useless formulas and theorems to get THIS. I had been kept under the impression that you just need to work like a slave in your school days , once you get into a good college life will be paradise. BUT I WAS WRONG . Life here was no paradise , where in a paradise do you have to get up so early an attend useless lectures and tuts all to get one magical no , your C.G.P.A. C.G.P.A (cumulative grade point average) is literally like a hanging order. It means study or you’ll be screwed . Even if you study and all and write your exams well , there’s no need to be happy. The reason is that some or the other guy who must have been more intelligent than you or must have studied more than you will score more than you and on an average scale you will be pushed downwards. So you had better study and hope that others don’t to score a good cgpa. Our director in his introduction had also mentioned the same thing he had said QUOTE== ALL THE ATHELETES THAT COME TO THE OLYMPICS ARE GOOD BUT ONLY THE BEST AMONG SURVIVE. ==QUOTE . What this meant that the rat race was still not over, you were caught up in it and have to keep running until one day you grow very weak and incompetent and are ultimately thrown out of the race . So you get the point , life here was no paradise. The only thing that was keeping me up was the thought of Pooja.
Just the thought of being able to impress here somehow made me look forward to the next day. My friends were one of the biggest reason that I was hoping to survive in this rat race. Rohan , ya that stupid a** hole was actually a very good friend, He was stupid , grumpy but he was still a very good friend. There was this one day when I was in urgent need of some thing and this guy went out of his way to help me and even made sure that my work had been completed . Now you don’t get such a**holes everyday. Being around him kind of made me feel happy , probably the thought that I am not the only one miserable , there’s someone to give me company.
My first meet with Pooja had turned out to be awesome but after that I could not meet her for many days or 4 days to be precise( I had been keeping count). The college lectures were not helping me to find her , I had a jam packed routine and had hardly any time in which I could meet her or more importantly she could meet me. Moreover I did not have any weird reason to accidently bump into her. The only class which we had in common was the workshop lectures , but the problem was I could never get up on time.
Anyways bottom line is that my days in college were not passing very jolly. When you get into an engineering college and start disliking the lectures from the very start that is the signal that something is very very wrong .

Mess
My freshers party was not so bad. In fact it had turned out to be pretty good. The ragging and all was a very small cost for getting to talk to Pooja. I was overjoyed
Rohan - "You seem very happy , you escaped the ragging or what?"
Me - "What ragging,who cares about ragging ,I talked to Pooja dude"
Rohan - "Who Pooja?"
Me - "Arrey ,Pooja ,the girl which I had shown you"
Rohan - "Oh that girl , so what"
Me - "Come on man , I talked to her in the cafeteria , TALK , CAFETERIA , do you get something."
Rohan - "No , you are talking as if you proposed and she said yes.Dude she must be talking to tons of guys like you everyday , who cares. In fact if you ask me she might have forgotten you by now . Trust me there is no need to get overexcited. Abhi to tune kuch kiya hi kahan hai."
Me - "As if you are , pro , huh"
Rohan - "Li8 le, let's go to the mess."
Now the setting of the mess is of great importance. There were two mess or dining halls for the entire campus, mess A and mess C. The name A and C coming from the wings in which they were located. Most of the boys hostels were in A wing so the A mess entertained mostly the male population of the campus with very few girls , so rare that it would have been easier to find uranium in our campus than girls in A mess, so it was popularly known as the 'gay mess'.As you might have come to know by now most of the female population went to the C mess. We could have also taken C mess, but as it was the start of the semester we were given A mess by default.
The food in the mess also deserves a special mention. There were in particular two types of curry , green colored and orange colored, both of them tasting equally bad.All the vegetables found there place in these curries only. These were the types of vegetablles that were unlimited,meaning you could help yourself to them as many times as you wanted(although nobody did). There used to be one eatable curry vegetable but that used to be limited.There used to be one person standing there serving you, who used to as miser as you can imagine.I dunno whether he wanted to save all that curry for himself or what.Anyways you had to be a pro to extract more from his miser hands.
Student - "kya bhaiya, thoda aur digiyena"
Mess worker - "Limited hai sir."
That was the standard answer. If it was your lucky day ypu would get some more or if you from his state he would surely give you more.You had only ato prove your identity and he would play into your hands.
Same was the case with the one 'mithai' that we used to get.
Me - "Man , these rotis are as hard as rock"
Rohan - "Even the daal tastes as water"
Me - "Why didn't they let us choose C mess"
Rohan- "Why do you want C mess , wahan pe food ke saath me free entertainment hota hai kya?"
Me - "Obviously"
Rohan - "You and your theories."
Me - "Look dude I'm a normal guy who behaves normally not like you who---"
"Excuse me , is somebody sitting here?"
We got distracted from our argument and looked up
Rohan - "No"
New Boy - "Ok" so I can sit here, all right with you guys?"
(The first impression of this guy only made me realize that this guy was a total stud , you know the kind of guys who keep various fancy hairstyles , who wear Man U or Arsenal jerseys and whose facebook and orkut accounts are always filled with friend requests from girls)
Me - "Ya why not?"
New Boy - "Sure difficult to get a place to sit tn the mess around this time , looks like the whole college turns up ay this time."
Me - "Guess so."
New Boy - " I am Sameer."
Me -"I'm Puneet "
Rohan - "Rohan here, you are in which hostel?"
Sammer -"AH4"
Me-"Hey we are in AH4 as well"
Sameer - "Cool, which you are from which stream? I'm from E.E.E."
Me -"Computer science, Rohan is from M,Sc chemisrty"
Sameer - "Nice"
Me - "Ya, by the way you are from which place?"
Sameer - "Mumbai, and you guys?"
Me - "I am from Patna"
Sameer - "Oh! Bihar , nice, I've heard of some super thirty from there , pretty famous , eh"
Me - "I guess so"
Rohan - "I am from gujrat"
Sameer - "Ok , hey you guys got all your books and stuff?"
Me - "No , thinking of gettiheng them from a senior"
Sameer - "And how will you will contact them , through D C?"
Me - "What is this D C?"
Sameer - "Man you don't know D C do you have a lappy?"
Me -"Ya?"
Sameer - "Then you must install D C , it is awesome man?"
Me - "Ok will do, once I get to the hostel ,do help me out bro"
Sameer - "All right"
Me - "Ok chalte hain , I have some work "
Sameer - "Ok"
Rohan - "You seem very happy , you escaped the ragging or what?"
Me - "What ragging,who cares about ragging ,I talked to Pooja dude"

Before I continue any further with my story I need to introduce you guys to a word that is on the minds of every student in the campus. "LITE"
The history of this goes back to the time when our campus came into action.
We do not exactly know who coined this term but whoever he might have been I salute him today.The life of us Bitsians is incomplete without this word . It somehow finds a place in every conversation. Some examples being-
Query - 'Yaar Prob stats kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai'
Ans - 'li8'
Query- 'Kitne saare plates karne hain E G main , kaise hoga?'
Ans - 'li8'
Query- 'Yaar kal subah tut hai pehli class kasie uthunga'
Ans- 'li8'
Query - 'Yaar I love that girl kaise bolu '

In The Cafeteria
Now that our ragging session was over, it was time for the fun part of the 'party'. For a change the seniors were not looking menacing and were actually interacting freely with the juniors . I too had a chat with some of the seniors , but my mind was somewhere else . I was looking for Pooja ,'what if she didn't bear a good impression of me , then my chances are as good as over'. I dreaded the thought. Finally after some time I spotted her , she was sitting alone on a table.'Good ' . I thought , 'this is my chance. Chal bete Puneet , abhi nahi to kabhi nahi.' I went towards her and casually sat in front of her
Me - "Hi"
Pooja - "Hi"
Me - " I'm Puneet"
Pooja - "I know, I'm Pooja"
Me thinking - ***' Don't sit mum like a fool , say something , what to say? what should I do****
Pooja - "By the way you sing quite well"
Me (over the moon) - " Thanks , I didn't mean to offend you by singing that song It's just that----(*** you are so lovely ,can I be your friend***)---
Pooja - "It's okay I understand , have you received any vocal training?"
Me - " No no , I'm quite a bathroom singer . In fact this is the first time I sang in public"
Pooja - "Wow , inborn talent I'm impressed"
Me (*** good going Puneet ,aise he chalta ja***)
Me - "Hey can I buy you a coke to go with that samosa"
Pooja - " Sure , but I don't like coke , maaza would do"
Me - "Sure , I'll be back in a minute"
Pooja and me over two maazas
Pooja - "You have quite a dressing sense"
Me - "What I did't get you"
Pooja - "I mean the morning lecture in the LT"
Me - "Come on , it was not that bad ---(*** dam it, there goes my good impression***)---"
Pooja(laughing) - " Ya not that bad , you should have seen the face of the teacher"
Me - "Chuck it, let bygones be bygones"
Pooja - "So you are from Bihar."
Me - "Ya from Patna and you?"
Pooja - "Delhi"
Me -"Cool so you must have visited the Raj Bhawan"
Pooja -"Come on living in delhi does not mean visiting the raj bhawan , I am in delhi from the past two years , before that I was in chandigarh"
Me - "To tussi changi punjabi bolte hoge"
Pooja - "Assi to Punjabi hi hain , how do you know punjabi'
Me - "Movies , you don't watch them?"
Pooja - "Ya i do , in fact that is my favorite past time apart from--"
Me - "Apart from?"
Pooja - "I do a little bit of dancing"
Me - "Wow "
Pooja- " Come on tell me what are your hobbies I know singing is on of them"
Me -" Singing is just t p (time pass) 'actually I love writing poems and stories and stuff"
Pooja - "Impressive , will you show them to me sometime"
Me - "Sure"
Pooja - "O hell , it's awfully late I better get going I have to set things up in my room"
Me - "Bye , so I will see you around then"
Pooja - "Ya , see ya, bye"
Me - "Hi"
Pooja - "Hi"
Me - " I'm Puneet"
Pooja - "I know, I'm Pooja"
Me thinking - ***' Don't sit mum like a fool , say something , what to say? what should I do****

Fresher's Party
'All's well that ends well' , I thought to myself as I was heading towards the hostel. The first day had gone quite o.k. barring the hitch in the morning I had managed to attend all the lectures even managing to pay attention in some. Along the way I met Rohan who was not looking very pleased.
Me - "So how was the first day?"
Rohan - "Forget it man."
Me - "Why, what happened?"
Rohan - "The teachers over here think they know everything."
Me - "I didn't get you."
Rohan - "Nothing dude. It was this chemistry teacher. First he comes to the class and starts bragging about himself ,his degree and all other bullshit , then he says that half of the class will get av- in chemistry if we don't study like mad from the first day."
Me - "What is that supposed to mean?"
Rohan - "That is not all. Then he makes the noobest mistake while teaching and when I point it out he gives me a long lecture , something like what you got in the morning."
Me - "Chuck it man let,s go and check out mongi"
Meanwhile we arrived at the hostel.
Rohan - "Oye , why is everybody standing near the noticeboard"
Boy A - "Its the fresher's party , All the departments have put up their notices."
Boy B - "I have heard that they rag the freshers like hell in these parties."
Boy C - "No man , they won't this is BITS, idhar ragging nahi hoti hai"
Boy B - "But I have asked my cousin , he is in 3 rd year."
Boy A - "Will there be beer in the party?"
Rohan - "Oye Puneet look , your department's party is today at 6 :30"
Me - " Man ,why I am always the first one , its already 5;3o ,lemme see ."
The notice read -
DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE - ASCII
This is to inform to all the students of computer science stream that there will be an interaction session held in LT 1
NOTE - ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY FOR THE FIRST YEARITES
Me - "I better go and change."
Rohan - "Whaaat , you are not going to a prom ."
Me - "Still man , she might be there I heard that she is also in cs"
Rohan - "You are a real despo"
Me - "And you a real gay"
Anyways I put on some better clothes and reached LT 1 this time before time. I was right , she was there sitting with the other girls.
After some time the proceedings started with the faculty giving there welcome speeches (:this part is boring so I'm omitting it:). When all this finished the faculty left the LT. We could sense that the bad part was about to start.Then this guy comes up who seemes to be the head of the assoc.
MR HEAD - "Now we will have all our so called interaction sesseion. All the juniors sit in the middle rows . Second yearites on the left and third yearites on the right."
We did as told.
MR HEAD - "Now I need some volunteers from the juniors"
Nobody moved.
MR HEAD - "No problem, we'll pick . Guys who do you think should come."
In the next half and hour the seniors kept picking juniors randomly and made them do all kinds of things including pole dancing and catwalk.Meanwhile I was praying that I don't get picked but apparently my prayers were not answered.
MR HEAD - "You there , you in the blue T shirt ,come over here" I had to oblige.
MR HEAD - "So what is your name"
Me - "Puneet"
MR HEAD - "From where?"
Me - "Bihar"
MR HEAD - "Ohhh, Bihari , I D no"
Me - "2007A---"
MR HEAD - "In hindi you fool"
Now my hindi is not that bad but I couldn't give the hindi version of BITSAT in my intro
MR HEAD - "So guys what do you think our Bihari friend should do"
SMART GUY 1 - "Dance"
SMART GUY 2 - "Make him propose a boy."
MR HEAD -"It's common , so puneet do you have a crush on any girl from your batch"
MR HEAD - "Come on select any girl you like"
I thought 'this is my chance' . I pointed towards her.
MR HEAD - "What is your name?" ans - "Pooja"
MR HEAD - "So puneet you have to propose this,girl by singing a song"
Me - "I can't sing."
SMART GUY1- "NOOB"
MR HEAD - "It doesn't matter"
Ultomately after a lot of booing from the audience I sang the song 'pehla nasha'.
MR HEAD - "Not bad bihari,if only you had more guts"
MR HEAD - "Guys the first yearites are all noobs without any talent, they are making this session very boring , so I say we all move to the cafeteria for snacks and juniors it's FREE for you guys."
Me - "So how was the first day?"
Rohan - "Forget it man."
Me - "Why, what happened?"
Rohan - "The teachers over here think they know everything."
Me - "I didn't get you."

First class
I had slept pretty late last night mainly due to the girl that I saw at Ice & Spice. It was almost 2.30 when I finally caught some sleep. It seemed that I had slept for only 5 minutes when I was woken up abruptly by a loud banging noise at the door, it was Rohan . "Get up you lazybone",he was shouting, "we're awfully late. ITS 7:55, classes start at 8." "Whaaat", I said half asleep,"but i had no sleep." "You keep on sleeping. I'm going." .It was then that I realized that it wad as late as hell."Man, I don't wanna get late on the first day itself. I just put a shirt and put on my sneakers, grabbed a notebook and glanced at the routine. First class was in LT 4. Then I started the first really long sprint of my life. Now I am no athelte.It took me a good 5 minutes before I reached the LT. The teacher was already writing something on the board.
"May I come in sir." , I said
Teacher - "You are late. why?"
Me - "I overslept"
Teacher - "Why?"
Me - "I was not well"
Teacher -"What kind of a dressing sense is this.What do you think of yourself. Why did you even come. -@@##@@##@$^^^$$@!!!!!!!!-------------------------------------------------------- --@#$%%^^-%$$$!@#!!@!##@@#@!###@@#$$%^--------------------------------------.Today is your first day so I'm letting you in.Go sit."
There were a few guys in the first row. They had one thing in common , they were all nerds wearing shirts buttoned up to the collar and with enough oil in there heads to cook food for a handful people. They stared at me as I were some alien.But I didn't care for I was staring at someone else, there she was sitting among the girls looking even more beautiful than ever.I went and sat beside Rohan who had already seated himself comfortably in the last row.
Rohan -"Look at you man . Don,t you have anything to wear?"
Me - "Stop joking.I was already late . Aur late hota to hitler class main aane nahi deta."
Me - " Look Rohan , there she is ."
Rohan - "Whatever"
Me - "How come you are not into beautiful girls .Are you gay? Stay away from me man"
Rohan - "Don't you start blabbering .I AM NOT GAY .I have other priorities "
Me - "Like"
suddenly out of the blue
Teacher- "You two in the last bench.Stand up.You in the shorts.What is your name."
Me - "Puneet Mishra sir."
Teacher - "ID NO"
Me - "2009A7PS007G"
The teacher noted down something
Teacher - "And his friend .I D"
Rohan- "Sorry sir . Wr are very sorry sir."
Teacher - "Give me your I D or I will throw you out of the class"
Rohan - "2009B3PS576G"
Teacher - "So care to tell us what is your aim?"
Me - "What?'
Teacher - "Why did you take up engineering ?'
Me - " To earn money."
Now I don't know why I said that but it was perfectly true , everyone has the same motive but they say something else something like 'to improve the society'; but I didn't and on my response the whole class burst into laughter.
Teacher -"Don't act smart with me . Sit down both of you"
I don't know what happened in the class but the teacher kept on stressing on the words dimensional accuracy and surface finish. Meanwhile Rohan was busy taking notes.
