STRUCKED IN THE MIDDLE OF PRACTICAL

It gives me immense pleasure to write this post, not because it is special or wat, but of course, it is the time which makes it a little bit special. Actually I had no intension of writing this, here, and at this hour of time. But I have nothing to do, and I am captured at a very strange and funny place in IITR, where I may not be able to escape before 6. It is 4:30 now and I have full hour and a half to pass sitting in front of a big dumbass large compu. Ohh. I forgot to tell where I am and what makes me to write this and what’s special the time is. Actually I am in middle of my auto-CAD practical in computer center. Well for those, who think that IITians undergo serious training during their pleasure time in IIT, it must be enough inkling that what we really do during class timings and during rest of the hours (though we hardly find them); you must have found my rest of the posts sufficient enough.

Well it is not that only I am captured by these so-called professors in the lab, all of my batch are here, not doing their job, of course. Most of them are busy in chatting, most probably in search of their life partners [: P]. It is not that we have no work to do in these labs, but we are given the work of a second class poor chap, learning ms-paint colouring the objects with brush and screaming with a joy as soon as he saw the multicolour objects, most of them dislocated. Can you believe we are given to make a design of a hut on ms-paint. In the starting I called professor to check the drawing on paint, but I think these Profs consider their job in making sit students for 2 hr practical rather than training them. He told me to improve the quality of drawing, which of course, I am not insane enough to do it. Of course none of us are interested in doing that.. and I think it’s right. I am done with checking my mails and my orkut account in initial half hour and so I decided blogging. Anyways it is the best time pass I have ever thought, next to chatting and reading novels, of course.

It is hardly 4:50 now but I think I am done because I have hardly anything to say except to make you feel the hard times I am spending in IITR, dissolved completely in useless pracs and classes and widout a grlfrnd, of course…!! But I can still hope for one…haha…!!

YOU SAID IT, SIR

One surely feel amazed at some junctures of his life by the game this Mr. Fate plays with us sometimes, not always full of pleasant surprises but sometimes it do bring some of the bitter most facts of life that someone, very well educated professor of IITR and among the senior most faculty here, calls your father a bastard. At such times you will surely felt bad(more for the professor than for you) but you will be overwhelmed by the strange feeling in your mind and heart and such strange thoughts will continue to haunt your mind till you survey through his mind and find out what the fuck made him said so. One other time, you respect some of the proffs. here very much and love them and their teachings, more about life than that related to subject but at the same time at some other place, you feel like killing a professor who lost his temper, and that too for the sake of his students, and continued scolding the students in a unitone(for a right cause.. I agree) and said some of the words which are too hard for a student to hear from his respected professor. You hear those words, firstly you will never believe that it actually originated from his mouth by his own lip movements and when you are confirmed that it’s none but him... yes the professor, to be more precise, IIT professor, has said this. For a moment you feel so much embraced and harassed in front of the whole batch, and then you realise that even he is sorry for his stupid act. You didn’t become angry with him, just a little bit surprise, a surprise which will be always with you throughout your life and the very first sight of that professor will always remind you of this thing.

Still you don’t feel like killing that professor... you develop a sense of dignity and honour for him... you don’t treat him as your enemy..... u don’t think him as just another common professor of IITR.... u think him the one who care for you and your future... you develop a sense of responsibility towards him.. he is the one who make you feel a real civil engineer. You suddenly become confused...!!!

But then, all of a sudden, you don’t wanna discuss it anymore. You feel like letting it be a suspense and let it remind of itself, whenever and wherever you encounter that professor in your life again. You want to be in a dilemma of confused-mind state forever rather than putting yourself to find out the reason of his saying.... you make yourself comfortable by giving reasoning that he is also a human being(no matter he is a professor in IIT)... a homosapiens... the kind of animal which is used to commit mistakes....!!!

A COMPLETELY NEW LESSON

Hey friends…!!

How are you all doing..??

Today wat I m gonna tell you is not any interesting experience of mine or any of my incidence(in which u will find me fucked up most of the times). But what I am gonna write about here is the wonderful words spoken by proff. Vipul Prakash sir. Well he is taking our lectures of solid mechanics.

Today after teaching something(I dnt remember what exactly.. [:P].. but must be something related to his subject, I guess) he completed started a different new topic. Well I would like to tell u in his language.

Scientists and engineers(technocrats) are completely two different terms. Scientists are only interested in the things which are not known to us yet. They are merely interested in the things which are known to the world. They never like the application part. They believe in becoming the first person to know something. On the other hand engineers are strong believers of learning application part which are still in use. They want to know how this stuff works no matter this thing was discovered in 90’s or before. Whatever is used nowadays is the object of keen interest to them. So in this manner these two kind are of completely different species.

What nowadays Indian and American government is supporting in colleges and universities is the shallow knowledge of every field than in-depth knowledge abt a single core.( if you are a engineer, ask yourself how many courses are there which are related to your core… merely 5-8 courses out of total of abt 40 courses.). In future where you will find the person who has in-depth knowledge of the core?? The bosses themselves are working as a clerk in their own companies, asking every other second person what is his job, what he is supposed to do now, and how should he do it. Searching Google and wikipedia for every answer, these are the things they are taking help of. But do u know who are their on the internet?? Do u knw who are the people with whom u r taking help of on these sites. They are none other than fucked up people like you who dnt have complete knowledge of anything. Government is talking of starting online lectures and tutorials for the easy resources. Infact all English developed countries had recently signed such a agreement. But are resources ever been a problem?? You want to read online tutorials and attend online classes. But have u ever tried to surf books through your library which are far easy and comfortable to find. If resources have ever be a problem, have u ever tried to purchase a book from the market and tried to go thru it. Have you ever tried to solve a tute of your own? But there’s no fault of yours in this. It’s the iit system, it’s what the government wants you all to learn and there is no wonder if in the future cheating in exams will be called mere sharing of information...lol..!! Who knows?? You have forgot to practice things, developing your hands, developing your brain. If all the work would be done by machines then you will just become like robots on the earth who does mere transfer of things and not applying their own brains and this time is not so far.

But no fault of your’s my friend. Nowadays there is so much difference in economy that no one allows a skilled person to stick to a job. Inflation in the economy in a night and you are out the next day. Happily working till yesterday and today when came to office, instead of coffee on your table found a pink slip telling you that you are fired..!! Then what can you do?? You will only run after jobs other than core and that’s all government is focusing nowadays in today’s education system. That’s all education is all about nowadays. Shallow knowledge of everything is better than in-depth knowledge of any one thing. There was a time when excellency in one field was required. But now you go for a core job interview and no one will ask you questions related to your field, as If you are given the degree then you must have known that. But who knows they don’t want those qualities in you. They want you as a person who can do become clerk at one time, manager at other time and who knows their driver at some times. And that’s all you will find today’s professionals doing different different jobs at different different times.

If all the people will became like this(which government wants all of us to become) then you will have the in-depth knowledge of the core?? Who will help the world solving basics problems?? Will wikipedia help us which is written by all of us?? Will in future Google be able to find our father’s name(so that we need not to remember that even...!!). If yes then no doubt we will become machines and computers, and machines and robots will rule us.

Solitude is the price for the greatness. The people who really wants to learn, who really wants to gain some knowledge works alone. Walk by the real professors(there are only few real professors.. Baaki sab farzi hai) house late in the night and early in the morning you will found them working alone in their office in a room. Yes, they work alone i.e in complete solitude. You should have habit of passing time in solitude(but this doesn’t mean in any way that you remain alone all the time). You spend 4-5 hours(I amazed on listening this much amount.. lol..!!.. becoz I hardly pass that much time in a week :P) on your studies daily. Work in solitude and then only you will learn to do things of your own. If you dnt have any work, or u wanna do something else like roaming with ur frnds.. Then fine… dnt do that work but sit idle for that much time and you will find your work. You will be forced to do and learn things and that (working in solitude) is the price you are giving to become great in future.

Suddenly ended the lecture… and he started teaching us about solid mechanics... again..!!

Ahh.. I know most of you are jumping from the first para to here leaving reading middle para’s becoz you must be in hurry to chat with your grlfrnds… or the other reason may be this thing doesn’t interest you. But what.. I remember proff. Vipul Prakash saying the things which are educative doesn’t interest public and which are publicly accepted can never be educative. So I doesn’t feel like hesitating publishing this.

Hope you liked it…!!

TIWARI JIIIII…..!!

First day of 2nd year

Date: 23 July, 2009

Time: 10:00 am

I took the keys of my room and when I entered into mah room…. found that there was no chair in the room. As I was in hurry of performing my registration formalities, ignored it. But in the evening I did informed the security guard about that. He told to write the complaint in the complaint register(which is almost full of uncorrected complaints through years). I did it. But in the evening I picked up a chair from nearby empty room as I was sure they are not gonna give me a chair(at least not in mah whole 2nd yr)

Fourth day of 2nd year

Date: 26 July, 2009

Time: 7:00 pm

I found out that my fan is running very slow(so slow that you can watch it three wings with your eyes..lolzz). Though I was sure there’s not gonna happen anything going to the guard or warden(or writing complaining in the register) but still went to inform the guard at the duty. I told him mah problem regarding fan and he told me to meet tiwari ji.. [:O]. Must be some great person(or rather say personality).. I thought… that’s why known as tiwari jiiii. I tried to search him and asked many people but no one gave me any trace of him. At last a man told me that “arre vo peeche k water coolers saaf kar raha hai.. wha dhoond lo… mil jayega”. What??

The person whom I was thinking a great personality is cleaning the water coolers(job of a sweeper.. lolzz). I hurried to the back but was not able to find him.

Fan continued to move slow day and night, becoming more slower day by day.

Ninth day of 2nd year

Date: 31 July, 2009

Time: 6:30 pm

Fan is still running slow. Frustrated again. This time seriously frustrated. “If that bastard tiwari(ji) is not gonna do anything today, I will go to the chief warden” I thought. And the hunt for tiwari continued. At last I asked the guard about the tiwari(ji) and he told me to look into the supervisor’s room. I went inside the room and in front of me was a good physique gentleman. “Must be tiwari ji, I thought” as his personality correctly matches with his so-called name tiwari jiiii. But the very next moment I thought how come this gentleman, sitting on a officer’s chair was given the work of cleaning water coolers. [:P] But the very moment he said me to go and meet tiwari jii. fuCk…!! So this is not tiwari jiiii. hooh..!! Tiwari jii not yet found. “Saala ye chutiya tiwari hai kon jo hamesha gaayab rahta hai.. Etna busy?? Vo bhi sweeper ka kaam karne me.. Lolzz.. [:P]” I thought. I went outside and read the board above the room which read “supervisor”. Oh so this gentleman was supervisor(whom I mistaken as the person who does sweeper’s work :P).

Seventeenth day of 2nd year

Date: 8 august, 2009

Time: 6:00 pm

Well till now have figured tiwari(and not tiwari jii). I dnt knw when exactly I have known him but I do remember when I first looked at him what I taught was “ ahh.. To ye hai tiwari jiiii.. bhosadi ka 4 futia… hoon…!!” and I had actually spoken these words out of my mouth. Well he is exactly like what work he is supposed to do here ( hey..!! I think I had spoken much than what I am supposed to do. By no means I want to say that sweeper’s job is too small or worthless.. every work is important in its own way.. and no one becomes small by doing that job). Well I got a electrician to speed up my fan now. Around 6 in the evening he changed the condenser( actually he was saying there’s no condenser now, so will change later on but somehow tiwari(ji) was able to give me one(nice person.. must say [J]). So I got mah fan repaired but at that time power was not there… so couldn’t checked it.

After 1 hour:

Power had came and I tried to switch on my fan. Holy fuck..!! It has stopped working [:x] it was 7 and all the electricians are out. So I am fucked badly(like always.. Ab to aadat si ho gayi hai..!!) so I had no choice other than going to tiwari jii. So I contacted him and he asked me to call on a emergency no. So did I. they said they are coming within 15 minutes but they didn’t. I made another call after half an hour and same response came this time too. Well full of tears(actually it was sweat) I again went to tiwari jii. He said “okk.. Ek minute ruk, me call karta hu… dekhta hu saale kaise nahi aate…” He made his call and told me they are on their way and asked me to wait here. Another 15 minutes passed and still no sign of those people and I again yelled at tiwari jii. He said “ accha abhi balata hu unko” . “watt?? What the fuck was he doing till now. bulaya nahi abhi tak??” I thought. So then he made his final call and those man came in about another 10 minutes and so my fan was repaired.

Thanks to tiwari ji….!!!!!

BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA

Hiii guys…!!

First of all thanks a lot for all the readers of mah blog and those who have voted and commented on my writings. That’s how I came to know that at least there are few people who read it.

Well I am back to my college(iit roorkee… in case u forgot). Though I was not at all mentally prepared for coming to college after such a long break(which now appears very short…lolzz..!!) but as I entered the green area of roorkee(which is completely able to absorb anyone) I was feeling ecstatic and much more comfortable than my home. Few old died memories floated in my mind and I was much excited about my new hostel and new room(single this time).

I reached the campus at 10 in the morning and at that time everything for me was a mess as after having the keys of my room I hurriedly went for the registration for mah 2nd yr and that day everything was a big mess. This time I got a single room and that too on ground floor(in first time it was on second floor…. lucky this time). I really liked my new room as it is near to department and hostel is in the heart of campus.

Our classes begin from the very next day of registration. This time I am gonna taste real red flavor of civil engineering. In my 3rd semester we have 7 subjects most of them are professional courses. So I expect to learn a lot about civil this year and looking forward to become a good civil engineer. I hope ur blessings are always with me.

In this semester we have 7 subjects

1-Solid mechanics

2-Fluid mechanics

3-Building and construction

4-Economics

5-Auto-cad

6-Physics(again…!!)

7-Cryptography(elective)

Well I know this post seems to be a little bit boring for u all…. But this is my life in iitr( now you must have understood how much boring is my life here) [:(]
