OPJEMS Interview...

As soon as the results were announced, I went online and found that my name was on the list. I and my friend Arka were selected from the final year of NIT Durgapur to appear in the interview round for OPJEMS scholarchip 2011. Needless to say, I was very pleased. Sometimes, when your expectation is too low, the slightest of triumphs can kindle hopes of far greater success. I found myself in a similar situation. :)

A few weeks later, the date of the interview was announced and we were shocked to find that it coincided with one of the unit tests in our college. I called up our Prof to let him know about the situation we were in with the hope that he shall allow the two of us to take the test later on the same day after we were done with the interview. However, I had a life lesson. I learnt that we should never expect a prof to understand our situation as all they are worried about is to maintain their authority over the students. Although there are exceptions to such professors, the one I talked to over the phone that day was definitely not one among them. He made it clear that it would either be the test or the interview for the two of us. We found ourselves on the horns of dilemma. However, Arka called up the OPJEMS authorities who were kind enough to understand our situation and postponed the interview by half an hour!

28th September,2011 : This was the day that fetched me a fortune. We took our unit test early in the morning and reached Reliance webworld in time thanks to kaku (Arka's father) who was kind enough to give us a ride to the place. The interview was to be held through video conferencing. I was the first candidate for the interview as my name (don't know how :P) appeared at the top in the list of candidates selected from NIT Durgapur. In the next few lines, Im gonna discuss about the questions that were asked in the interview. This discussion shall be taken more as a guideline than a question paper as same questions are never repeated in subsequent interviews. Infact the questions that were asked to my friend Arka were totally different from the ones that were asked to me. I believe we make our own interviews. :)



THE INTERVIEW


3 persons (2 males, 1 female) seated in front of the webcam. I wish I could recollect their names and designations. However, I was too nervous at the moment. All that I remember is they were very important persons from the business world. One of them was probably the director of XLRI. I shall call them interviewer A (male), B (male) and C (female).

All Interviewers :  Hello Dipayan.

Me: Good morning sir, Good morning sir, Good morning ma'am.

Interviewer B: So, Dipayan! Introduce yourself.

Me: Well sir, I am Dipayan Bhattacharya. I come from a small town called Kulti. I studied till class X under the ICSE board and then did my plus two from CBSE board. I am good in my academics as you must have already found out from my grades. Besides that, I am a computer enthusiast who loves to repair his own computer and I have a keen interest in the subject of networking and hacking.

Interviewer C: Continue Dipayan! We need to know much more about you than you have told us until now. What school did you study in? How was your childhood?

Me: Ok ma'am. Actually the school that I have studied in .....blah blah blah!!! (Went on and on talking about my school and my childhood at my favorite place, Kulti :P).

Interviewer B: What quality do you have that differentiates you from your friends?

Me (instantly): I am a kind of person who doesnt waste his time idling away. I am always busy doing something or the other. 

Interviewer B: And why do you not like to idle away?

Me (instantly): Coz I feel life is too short and we must utilize all the time we have!

Interviewer B: Ok. So give me an insight into an average 24 hour of Dipayan.

Me : (I described one of my average days in college mentioning the fact that I play a lot of computer games).

Interviewer B: How do you consider playing computer games as "not  idling away time"?

Me (i was ready for this one) : With all due respect sir,  contrary to the common belief, gaming also helps me increase my concentration coz they are highly engaging these days.

Interviewer B (mockingly): Have you ever tried meditating? 

Me (not knowing what to say): No sir, I havent.

Interviewer B: What are your plans for the future?
Me: I wanna be a professor.
Interviewer B: What qualities do you think a teacher should have?
Me (thought for a second about the things that the teachers of our department do and realized all I had to say was just the opposite :P) : Well sir, for me, a person can be a good teacher if he has sound and in-depth knowledge in his subject, is considerate towards his students and has good communication skills. Communication skill is of utmost importance because even if the person has knowledge, he cant inculcate the same to his students if he cant communicate well.
Interviewer C: Why do you want to be a teacher?
Me: Because I have had some very good teachers in my life who are and always will be my ideals.
Interviewer B: Name any 3 qualities that you think you need to be successful in life.
Me: Hardwork or sincerity, Honesty and Luck. (They noted honesty).
Interviewer B: I read your essay and I wonder how robotics can bring social and economic advancement in India. Please elaborate.
(I was prepared for this question and I kinda remembered whatever I had written in my answer sheet)
Me: Blah blah blah blah... (I repeated whatever I had written in the answers sheet during the written exam).

Interviewer B: How do you think that in a country where unskilled labourers are so many in number and so poor, robotics could make a difference coz if robotics is introduced, their jobs would be terminated!
Me: Sir, I dont believe that any human being is unskilled. Everyone has some skill or the other. We just need to portray those skills and channelize them in right direction and the only way it can be possible is if robots take up their so-called "unskilled" work.
(Interviewer B looked impressed, probably not because whatever I was saying was a total bullshit :P but because I was confident while defending my wrong point :P)

After all this, they asked about my ideals, my parents and all boring stuffs.

Last Questions:

Interviewer B: Suppose you are the manager of a firm and you find some other manager is being more successful than you coz he's using unfair means. What would you do?
Me (answered instantaneously coz i remembered that they had taken note of "honesty" which i mentioned earlier): I wont pay heed to whatever he's doing. I'll concentrate on my job. And, if ever, his job coincides with mine, I'll report him to the higher authorities.
Interviewer B: Suppose you are the manager of a firm and you find someone working under you completing his job in time and doing it very well. However, you find out that he's using unfair means. What would you do now?
Me : I'd definitely report the person to higher authorities and see to it that his service is terminated.
Interviewer B: But you know that he's doing an excellent job and its also helping you make a good name for yourself coz after all you are in charge of the team!
Me: Sir, I do believe that he'll definitely be caught later by someone else who may report to the higher authorities and in that case, I'll be victimized since I would be seen as someone who was supporting his unfair means and was probably assisting him and so, I'll lose all my fame in a single instant! Besides, I also believe that I can always get hold of some other subordinate who shall complete his job honestly. So why take a risk?
Interviewer C: That will be all Dipayan. Best of luck!

So, that's how my interview went and it took approximately 50 minutes. After a few days, I came to know that I've got the scholarship of 65000! :)  

9 reasons why Ra.One is a Must-Not-Watch !!

Before I start drawing a lot of attention, I'd like to apologize to every "Die-hard" SRK fan...and I specifically mean only the die-hard fans because this post of mine is going to offend only them and probably SRK himself although I mean no offense to the great man except on this occasion. :P

To start with, I'd like to point out a few positive aspects about the movie. Firstly, it has shown us a few dazzling special effects! Secondly, CHHAMMAK CHHALLO!! Thirdly, it has a silly, but happy ending (although, when i think about it now, I was happy at the end probably coz the movie at least ended :P ). Apart from these three, I'm sure I wont be able to pin-point any more "positive" points about this terrible movie. :P

Now, in order to justify the title of this post, Im gonna lay down a few points explaining why its a terrible idea to watch Ra.One.

1) They say "Well begun is half done". Probably, the director didnt have a clue about this proverb coz the movie started with a total bullshit of an action sequence which, although was actually a child's dream that we came to know later, was still hard to make any sense of.

2) There is no proper scientific explanation to any of the events occuring in this movie which, by the way, is of utmost importance in any sci-fi movie. For example, G.One isnt supposed to have an Artificial Intelligence coz it was meant to be played by human players. I guess, the writer did'nt have a clue to that when he wrote the rest of the story. In fact, at the very beginning, it was clearly stated that human players can play "as" G.One and not G.One himself would play while the human players would watch, which in fact would make a terrible game too! :P However, inspite of that, we find G.One exchanging amazingly sensible quotes and speeches with Kareena and is intelligent enough to fight the supposedly INVINCIBLE Ra.One with a lot of skills and agility.

3) Shahrukh wasnt up to the mark as far as his acting was concerned! For the first time, I found his acting awefull and I dont blame him coz HE SIMPLY DOESNT FIT INTO THE ROLE!

4) The songs made no sense and were totally unnecessary! Even if I consider that Shekhar did program some artificial intelligence into G.One, how am I suppposed to believe that G.One could be intelligent enough (or actually idiotic enough) to sing "Chhammak Chhallo" and also dance to its tunes???? :P

5) Shekhar's child, Prateek seemed to be 12 and yet, he had more hacking and coding skills than Ankit Fadia himself! How am I supposed to believe that????? I know that some fans may argue that his father, Shekhar was an expert programmer and so, there's no reason why his son couldnt have had those skills. However, I do have an answer to that. Prateek barely talked to his father and he was almost ashamed of his father as indicated at the beginning of the movie. So, unless programming skills are passed on through the genes, I dont see how Prateek could be such a brilliant programmer! 

6) Kareena's character was as "bimbo"-ish as always. I cant believe that she almost fell in love with G.One! I wont be surprised if we find her pregnant with G.One's offspring in the sequel! :P

7) I made a list of the movies from which Ra.One has copied its action sequences. Here they are :-

Hollywood:- Terminator 2, Transformers, The Judgement Day, Tron, Gamer, Batman Begins (only the poster).
Bollywood:- Kkrish, Burning train (the scene where the train stops right before the idle of Ganesh).

My readers can point out if I have missed any more names coz Im pretty convinced that this cant be it and there's gotta be more. :P So, in case, you have already watched the movies stated above, I dont find any reason why you should screw the memories of those good movies by watching this one.

8) Ra.One was too easy to defeat. As pointed out at the beginning, Ra-one is the ultimate bad-ass villain and it is so powerful that it cant ever be defeated. And yet, we find, G.One defeating it repeatedly throughout the movie and that too...very easily! Now that I am at it, let me ask the writer... Did Shekhar actually "programme" his testicles and that it should hurt when someone grabs it??? Or was his artificial intelligence intelligent enough (or idiotic enough) to figure that out? :P

9) G.One is supposed to be a superhero and not some punk who doesnt know what to do when his crotch is on fire! In one occasion, we find G.One doing heroic things like stopping the unstoppable train and yet on other occasions, he struggles extinguishing the fire burning away his balls.

Summing up, I feel like I have been cheated of my 80 rupees and 3 precious hours of my college life! In case, you dont wanna end up having the same feeling, PLEASE DO NOT WATCH RA.ONE !! :P

Kulti humko jaan se pyara hai....

I wish I could come up with a better topic....but u see....Kulti is my birthplace....and last time I checked....this was MY BLOG!!!! So...just shut up and READ!!!!!! :P

                        So....here's the thing...KULTI is my hometown...and it used to be a wonderful place until the company's light bulb fused! However, we still made peace with it and stayed here for one more year while my father used to travel up and down from Kulti to Burnpur everyday to provide for us. Anyways, it  had to be over soon and we shifted to our new home at Asansol...in a wonderful place called "Evelyn Lodge". But thats a different part of the story. Anyways, soon, we had to shift back to Kulti coz my father was retransferred to this place when the company's light bulb was replaced by a lantern! :P

 So...Kulti is a fantastic place if you dont have dreams. Its an amazing place to build a house if you are
ready to stay indoors 24x7! You dont need to have money here....coz you'll probably not get anything in the nearby stores that you'd like to buy. If you are a micro-organism enthusiast and are curious about what viruses and bacteria might be there in those transparent waters...well you have nothing to worry about coz the water here is rarely transparent. And....speaking of water, there is no problem of water supply here coz even if your tap stops watering...your ceiling wont! Besides, its an amazing place for biotech and biology students coz they'll have access to millions of insect specimens.....and may even find a new species inside their pants during one of their weekend naps! (somehow the insects here have the
tendency to go inside ur pants even before you've met). Besides, the students may not even have to go find the specimens coz they are always available all over any light source you dare to switch on after 5 pm. Speaking about light sources, you dont need to be afraid of the power that they consume coz they glow the brightest when they are running on the inverter! And you dont need to be afraid of "when"....coz it may very well be replaced with "always" owing to a few load shadings we have here which consumes

almost two-thirds of our day. Speaking of day, you might as well be interested about the nights which are
mostly very quiet except for the sound of those iron thieves sawing away every last atom of iron  from any substance thats left outside,unguarded....including your bungalow boundary and the lamp posts!
Speaking of lamp posts, well, the locals here are truly cautious about saving power and they dont let any halogen lamps glowing on the lamp posts to steal away even an ounce of power that those precious natural resources of our mother earth provide. So, they throw stones at those halogen lamps until they are shattered all over the road. Not that their soul intension is to save power coz some part of their interest also rests on the fact that darkness helps their cause in a few ways (if you have read my last point). Speaking of locals, well, there arent a whole lot of people you can see if you decide to step outside the boundaries of your house coz most of them have died of hunger after the company was  closed (except for the few who turned cannibals, probably) and the rest were transferred. As a matter of fact, there isnt a living soul staying withing the 2 mile radius of our own humble house. Speaking of our house, well, we stay in one of the company quarters which are more like huge bungalows with those huge doors and windows that the britishers built during their times. In fact, I've heard tales of Mr. Wilson who used to live in the same bungalow in which we are staying now some hundred and fifty years ago. Oops...I most unintensionally gave away the age of our bungalow.....and guess what, its not growing any younger...at least the cracked walls and the trees growing out of those cracks and the leaking ceiling (which, as I specified earlier, aids in providing us 24 hour water supply during rainy seasons) would prove that. Speaking of big house, well we have a lot of rooms in our bungalow with one of them assigned to me. I have my high end desktop computer in this room, which of late, has degraded from the post of being exactly "high end" as it has already developed a huge number of bad sectors in its 1 TB hard drive owing to the erratic power fluctuations we have here...and even the grounding not being proper to keep our precious electronic equipments safe. Speaking of safety, well the roads around here are very safe if you arent a good looking lady or carrying a lot of cash or both! Speaking of roads....well...actually there arent many....and the ones that are present...are normally covered with a very holy material for the Hindus....that is....cow-dung! :)

Anyways, I should not brag too much about the place I live in. So, this is it...

Thanks for reading...
 
NOTE: Appologies to Sourav Santikari (my frnd Shanti)...he loves the place for what it is....and I respect that. :P

Tada...

See ya soon.. :)

My Wingmen...

       Wingmen or wingmates are usually the best friends that you can have in the college. Note that Im talking about only the final year students coz thats when you get to select your wingmates! As for other years, we have this room allotment provided by the "college authorities".....and believe me.....these allotments are totally fucked up! I dont know whether they actually use a computer algorithm to generate random numbers in the range of our roll numbers....coz thats how the students are grouped ....RANDOMLY!!!!!! I can understand that the universe always moves in a direction so as to increase its ENTROPY.....but trust me Mr. Universe.....even you wont be able to take the amount of
increase in entropy thats gonna be created if guys are grouped randomly in a hostel and dat too in a college like ours where students come from all over the country....and dat too in a country like India where the people belonging to north and south or east and west are as different from each other as inhabitants of the Milky way and those of the Andromeda galaxy! :P

         Anyways, I really got drifted away from the topic...i guess. Here's a brief description of my best friends....my wingmen...

Room 101:- Debashish : He's a 'civil'ian...so to speak. He remain kinda aloof most of the times....coz he's quite a  "family man" and likes to be busy with his "bou" ! However, he has a million dollar smile and he is always with us whenever we have our little wing celebrations! :)

Room 102:- Chiru : Anyone who sees him first will say..."he's a kid!". He's one of those good guys who can never offend you or mean you any harm....though he can kill you with a headshot using his AK-47! :P So, u'd rather take his side or end up dead when we have our little CS 1.6 tournaments in our wing! :)

Room 103:- Myself : As long as you are reading my blog, i dont think I need to provide any more descriptions of myself under this topic! ;)

Room 104:- Rahul : One of my bestest best friends....nothing could part us right from the kindergartens. In our school, we were in the same section....in our high school (after class 10)....we took admission in thesame school.... after that.... what were the odds that we got admission in the same college... and then....what were the odds that we were allotted the same room in first year.... and then again... we somehow wound up staying together in the same room in the 2nd year also... and then again... we chose to stay
together in the final year too...and yet again... we somehow wound up staying in adjacent rooms 103 and 104!! Im quite sure that our togetherness is still not over. :)

Room  105:- Rohit : I met him in my high school...and its a coincidence that we both started our session in class 11 with some serious diseases! I had chicken pox, while he had jaundice! So, both of us found ourselves in an unknown world of projectile motions and gravitation and planck's equations when we returned to our classes. Anyways, thats how our friendship started! Rohit was quite pissed with NIT Durgapur while he still hadnt taken admission here....and rightly so! :P Anyways, somehow, it was destiny
that he had to end up with us! Rohit is the Mr. Popular in his department. For some reason, his dept guys find his teaching better than their profs (or it may be that the guys who come to learn stuffs from him rarely attend classes :P ). Whatever be the reason, its a proven fact that Rohit is a fantastic teacher and has a very good knowledge in his subject! Also, another thing about Rohit is that even he is a family man and I've rarely seen someone so committed towards his relationship.

Room 106:- Shanti : His name is Shanti and he's not a villager! :P Although he comes from a village named "Kulti" and so do I...yet people often mistake him to be the villager types! He requires english subtitles in every english movie and so do I. He's a fan of Sonu Nigam and so am I. He loves Hindi songs and so do I. I think my readers have already guessed the reason why I and Shanti make the very best of friends...coz we are so alike! The thought has crossed my mind that we were probably brothers in our previous life! :) Anyways, I met Shanti (Sourav Shantikari) in my high school where he was obviously
introduced to me as "Balatkari"! :P I came to know his first name when we went to represent our school in "Regional Maths Olympiad" alongwith the legend...Rudradev Basak! I always thought that he would make a great doctor...however it unfortunate that fates led him to end up in the same college where I took admission! Shanti is also a "family man" married(figuratively) to "Moushumi Roy"...another good friend of mine. :)

Room 107:- Anirban : Not unlike most of my wingmates....he's also a "family man" and keeps aloof as he's always busy talking to his "bou". He's again one of those guys who means no harm to anyone. His sense of humour is awesome...and people around him just cant stop laughing while he's cracking his jokes! We met in the first year when he was a room-mate of Rohit. Our friendship grew leaps and bounds during the "Great Period of Card Games" (something Im yet to relate to my readers!).

Room 108:- Amit : He's the tech geek of our college! His hobbies are  coding, hacking, making websites and purchasing new smart phones every 6 months :P. If u need to know anything about tech stuffs...just knock on Amit's door...and you shall know it! I feel so sorry for Microsft that they couldnt understand his worth....and Im sure that Bill Gates is going to regret it! Since I've always had this knack about coding and techie stuffs (none like Amit though), there was no way that we could not have made good friends! :)

Room 109:- Rajdip : Here comes the civil geek! If I ever define the word "nerd", I'd mention Rajdip as the best example. He's a guy whom I've never seen to lose focus from his goal. His principles are the 3 D's..Discipline,Dedication and Devotion and he has never deviated from these principles. He's one of those disciplined guys that you rarely find in a hostel. He always completes his task in time and makes room for ample entertainment, which in his case are watching a few good movies repeatedly until he has mugged up all the dialogues and playing CS 1.6! As a friend, he's one of the best to have coz you'll
always find him beside you when you need someone to listen to your trageic stories and guide you in the right path! Apart from that, he's an excellent judge of characters. Although, unlike most of my wingmates, he isnt a "family guy"....yet he aspires to be one very very soon! :)

Room 110:- Ashish : He's the hunk of our wing. You'd better call him the Chandannagore-ian......coz he takes pride in the place he comes from..Chandannagore! Ashish,although he's single, keeps to himself most of the times, watching hindi movies and serials in his laptop! He goes to gym every day...a fact well proven by his appearence. We met in the first year as was alloted the room adjacent to mine. He also
takes pride in his department...the ECE department....and so do I! I wish I could write more about him apart from the fact that we go to our classes together....but he doesnt open up much...not to me atleast. All that I know is that he falls in the category of those who dont mean harm to anyone and likes to keep harmony although his biceps would tell you a different story! :P

Room 111:- Indraroop : We call him Indro. He's one of those guys who are always happy no matter what! You can always see him laughing! He's one of those guys to whom you are always welcome! Whenever, you feel bored, you can go to his room, talk to him and the boredom shall be gone. Another trait of his character is....he's very focussed at his target. He aims to do an MS from a foreign university. Indro,in his
mind, has already married Priyanka Chopra. You dare not talk ill about her before him or he will screw you! He's so obsessed with the lady that he goes to watch her movies alone lest his friends shall make fun of her when he's watching her! He has her posters all over his room and I wouldnt be surprised if someone finds one of those in his underwears too! :P (No offense meant to Priyanka Chopra!)

Room 112:- Bhabesh : He's my wingmate, my zonemate and my colleague (so to say...coz we are placed in the same company)! We met in the first year during our "rectification" period (RP) and since then, we have been very good friends. He's one of those fun loving guys who takes very little "chaap". We called him "Gaja Mondol" during RP when he (allegedly) used to bring "marijuana" to our respected seniors!
He's not a "family man" and is always available for his friends. :)

Room 113:- Arindam : He's by far the tallest guy in our wing. He aspires to be an IIM'ian and rightly so....given his intelligence and high IQ! He's a nightmare for the juni's! He should find a place in the Guiness book of World Records for screwing up the largest number of interviews...most of them intensionally! :P I met him too during the RP. A funny fact about him is that he had asthma during the RP...but as soon as the RP was over...so was his Asthma...and he started smoking! :P

Room 114:- Md. Ehtesham : Well, he's just an aquaintance. I dont know him much. In fact, we didnt select him for our wing...the college did! However, all I know is that he's a peaceful guy...keeps to himself. 

A dash ends up in a lot of cash!

            Lets not keep my readers wondering about what the title to this post means. Its about the scholarship I've been soooo excited about! Yeah...u've got it...its the OPJEMS'2011 scholarship. I still cant believe that I got it! Anyways, after writing this out, I guess i'll be convinced.

                      Well it all started one fine sunday morning or dawn actually! I was fighting with my lazy ass to get up and get ready to catch the SBSTC bus from Kolkata to Durgapur which was scheduled to leave from Karunamoyee at 6:15 sharp. My tickets were ready....and still....there I was...lying on my bed....considering the pro's and con's about catching the bus!

PRO's :-

1) There was this scholarship test, which, if I attend, I could at least get a free pen..(OPJEMS guys gift a nice little pen to everyone who's selected and have appreared in the test).

2) If I was lucky, I could get a seat beside a smart good looking girl in the SBSCT bus! (which I actually did and...the journey was no less than a treat). :)

3) The third pro that came to my mind was the least probable one...and yet...it was the the biggest pro that i could imagine! It was that.....if I take the test.....there is one in a million chance that I could at least appear for the interview....which I was looking forward to....coz u know...giving interviews does boost your confidence if they go well!

The readers may note that winning the sum of 65k wasnt even in my PRO's list! :P

CON's

1) My leg was hurting and my back ached coz the night before, I was hanging out with my friends and had a real gala time!
2)  Chances of my selection was very very slim!! :(
3)  I was feeling sleepy.
4) I was feeling really sleepy! :P

Although the CON's list overweighed the PRO's list by a somewhat "small" margin :P....yet I had to give in to the PRO's......coz u know.....they contained everything that a man ever wants....Money and Honey! :P

So....the next thing i know, I woke up.....got my ass over that bus.....made a nice little journey with a smart and cute gal...and reached my college.

After reaching, I came to know that the test could not start coz the internet in our "National Institute of Technology" wasnt "working"....and hence...the "online" test for OPJEMS'2011 could not be conducted! However, after a few hours of waiting, the invigilators came up with a solution! They somehow procured the hard copies of the questions and the test was conducted in "pen and paper".

After the test, me and my friend Rajdip, as always, would discuss about the various possibilities pertaining to different situations that we were put through during the test. I found that our answering pattern was very similar! So, I thot, may be, if he gets selected, there are fair chances that even I would!

More on this....later....

Thanks for reading.... :)

OPJEMS Scholarship

             As the name suggests, it is a scholarship of INR 65,000 for B.TECH students! They award this scholarship only to a few engineering colleges all over India which include only the IITs, the NITs (not all NITs though), BITS Pilani and two other colleges. The eligibility criteria are :-

1. 2 toppers from each batch from the following streams for all 4 years
   • Civil Engineering
   • Electrical Engineering
   • Mechanical Engineering
   • Metallurgical Engineering
2. Top 12 students from each batch (any specialization or stream) for all 4 years.

                   The students who satisfy the above requirements can sit for their online test which is based on evaluating your personality by putting you in some situations and demanding for your decision or plan of action to take control of such situations. Moreover, there are two essay type open ended questions which you have to answer in less than 200 words. These open ended questions are going to be used for or against you (mostly against :P) during your interview (that is if you end up being among the top two scorers of this online test in your particular batch and you are allowed to sit for the interview).

                  Im sure my readers must be curious as to why, from out of nowhere, I am suddenly advertising about this scholarship scheme! Well, the reason is, I've got through the interview and have already won the sum of 65K and am very excited about it!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

                   Anyways, more on this later.... :)

About me and my college!

                 Hi! I am Dipayan. This is the part where I go on blabbering about myself while the readers are bored to death :P . Anyways, i'll try to keep it short and less boring! :) 

                
                 I am an Electronics and communication Engineer currently doing my B.TECH from NIT DURGAPUR and believe me....this is a very good place for doing your B.TECH coz u wont have to study if u dont want to as the profs are always waiting for opportunities to bless you with as much marks as possible so that you dont show your sorry ass to them again in the following years. And, if you are the nerdy type who has taken admission in this college to learn something, well, all that i can say is u'll learn many things for sure, but your subject wont be one among them :P. Anyways, enough of boasting about my college! I'm afraid that one of the company guys dont find out about my blog coz im sure that after reading my blog, they arent going to come to our college for campussing. :P (Of course, its not like they don't know that most of the engineering colleges in India are no better,except for the IITs I guess :P).

                 Anyways, having said all that about us NITians, I wont really say that I dont know anything about my subject, coz u know, u can learn if you want to, but the source of knowledge isnt going to be the college...better be damn sure about that! Well, it really sucks to disclose to ya all that I am currently ranking second in my department....coz u know....being among the toppers in a college like ours reallly really really sucks! There are all kinds of people who'd be jealous of you and would try to demean you by repeatedly uttering sentences like "tui toh topper bhai...tor ki chap!" or "Tui sharadin portei thak...ar kichu hobena tor dara". There are many more one liners which would certainly burn 80% of your pubic hairs :P. However, having said that, I would also like to mention that there are a lot of friends who would also say the above one liners, but they dont mean any offence...coz all they want is to burn your pubic hairs and not offend you in any way. As a topper, you have to distinguish between the guys and gals who actually want to offend you and the ones who dont! 


                Talking more about a topper's life... Well, its a general notion that toppers are the ones who study 24 hours, do not eat, do not sleep and all they want in their life is "marks" :P! For people having such notions, I'd have to say that they are retards and havent yet crossed the boundary line between schools and colleges! I mean....come on guys....do u  really feel that you have to study so much to get nice grades in college...where literally question papers are handed over to the students in the name of "suggestions" and the syllabus is no bigger than a science paper in fourth standard????!!! Well, for me all it took to secure cool grades is a lot of luck and sincerity during the exams (aint even talking about before the exams, which is still a nice time to take your girl friends out coz lesser colg ppl would be around as most of them would be studying :P).

               Anyways, talking about cooler things...like fests! Well, one of the most important part of college life are the fests. Fests can be technological and cultural. In our college, we have many technological fests....Aarohan being the biggest of the lot! Aarohan is a very competitive fest where different colleges all around west bengal (mostly) come to participate in the various competitive events like Robotics, Gaming, Hacking, Electonic circuit design, etc. The best part about aarohan is you can win a prize even when you do not know anything about the event you are participating in....how? Well, the only requirement is that you need to have a few friends who are good at techie stuffs! All you have to do is join their team (coz each team needs at least 4 participants and my general experience has always been that at max 3 of the 4 contribute to a win) and get a share in their reward money :P!

               Another fest of our college which is worth mentioning is Recstacy. This is the coolest fest for everyone who like to party and even cooler  for those who like to drink coz after drinking, u would not have to be bothered or take responsibility for whatever you do :P. There are many who even pretend to be drunk to gain that advantage. Well, for those who arent really sure about those advantages, let me describe them a little more comprehensively! ;) Firstly, when you are drunk, "you dont need to be bothered about your dance steps". There are some pretty aweful dancers who'd rather not dance to avoid humiliation (Myself being one among them :P). For such folks, being drunk proves to be advantageous, coz no one will laugh at your dance steps when u r drunk coz u are supposed to have lost your coordination with brain! Secondly, when you are drunk, "you dont know what or where or whom you are touching or falling over". I'd rather not explain this point in more details coz im sure that there are going to be a substantial number of female readers of my blog and I dont want my fellow drunkard or pretend-to-be-drunkard readers to be annoyed at me for revealing their plans :P! To my female readers, you keep feeling sorry for those poor drunk bastards who fell over you coz they were "out"  :P ! 

                      Enough said already. I am pretty confident that my readers have not been bored to death..have they :)? Please drop in your valuable comments even if they include a few slangs :P.


Thank for your time...
More to come later...
