Being the Diro(Director)


Now this is one of the most DIFFERENT kind of experience in my life (at least I feel so....). This is related to the convocation ceremony which has just concluded (My god I feel so happy for the graduating students .).....
So let me start with the description . It was the day before the Convocation (i.e. yesterday ) I was one of the volunteer for the organisation of the convocation ceremony and because of that I was to be present in the auditorium and so was I (at least no fraud in this from my side). Before I was there on of the Prof (Mr R.K.Thareja ) called me to the stage (very difficult for me as I have a "stage-phobia " kind of something in me ) and told me that I was to be the dummy DIRO for the practise session(other volleys who were eventually my friends were to be the chairman of board of governors (aayush ) , the chief guest (nishant )and the registrar(satvik)) and so we was to read the speech for the same .............
Totally dumbstruck as I'm still a virgin in this matter (speeches and debates and above that fo the DIRO ) but could nothing . The only option left was to be cool and enjoy this opportunity to be in the director's shoes . Now as we started with the proceedings we were to stand with the Head's Of Various Departments (who accidentally were not dummies like us ) and to be seated before them ....
The practise started with a short speech of aayush then a line or two from me (believe me I was nervous initially ) and then shaking hands with the fourth year rites ome by one and with everyone (another Herculean task ) for which some of them were not ready at all(how could they witha a first year ?????) . It only took me about one or two minutes to settle in and be normal with the proceedings . Thereafter I was kind of normal and was doing a good work (I came to know this when some of the seniors in their turn chipped in with comments like "good work, bachhe ", "cool ", etc ) although there was nothing to do in as the work ......
In the end leaving with the convoy through the convoy I could barely control the grin on my face and was hoping that some of the HOD 's would observe us and interact with us but nothing of that sort happened..[ ;-( ]
So this was the different (and fortunate )incidence for me in my life (at least I have something to fill in those slam book asking for your most fortunate incident or like ...)

First Of The College Years

Now that this sem is over and I am totally free(with due stress on "totally") I would like to describe my first year in so prestigious institute(though i don't totally agree on this point ) called IIT Kanpur . I have been for long waiting for this opportunity and that I have finally got it , I would like to describe it in detail . Let' s begin with the orientation and the pre- freshers time : The time I was getting used to this environment (and was feeling a sense of pride!!) , the time when I felt timid before the Seniors(though ideally this should not be mentioned but...) , the time to break the old shackles of time and friend and to make some new of them and to start afresh and get ready for the next four years of my life . somehow the "dreaded "days were over but how would i know there s much more in store for me .. then came the time of real "interaction" (a word used in the campus always with a star marked on it ) with seniors and my baap wing and the series of GPL(on which i can t elaborate and believe me , you would also not like to buy). Before I could even realise what actually was happening to me I was standing on the edge of my first mid sems .. As a result i screwed up my mid sem totally and the result was that I ended up joining a camp for increasing concentration (another blunder to add to my list ). this took up nearly a week leaving me only three weeks before another mid sem(oh my god who the hell designed this system???!!!!). At leastIi had the motivation to study for the xam this time (which was ..............going home finally ..) .... a cool week relaxed me and what was following was ANTARAGNI our cultural fest ... some rejoice and masti again and that too finally followed by DEEPSHIKHA the annual diwali celebration which meant giving up study for another 10 days or so ...and finally leaving us(though i would emphasize more on ME) with just 7 to10 days for the end sem (can you believe 4 months syllabus to study for in just 10 days )somehow I managed to screw up my end sem again (that's an art I've got ) and finally packed my bags for my pilgrimage to my home ...................far from this place for a whole "month" .

Now the second sem (which seniours suggested would be a little cool (how could they say that )).........
but yes it was cooler than the first one ( one less subject to study ) I took up this time to get on with my interest (which i suppose is tech ..........though i m not sure when this might change )...attende some lectures and started makin a bot (or robot) to take part in TECHKRITI ..oh i forgot to mention the films fest UMANG in which movies were screened n public demand . I tell you this was the event of maximunm participation (even from the profs and family).....back to tech we qualified for the second round but due to some unfortunate(mind you it was really unfortunate) event could not for third ..(:-(.... full of entusiasm we tried to participate in the tech fest of IIT Delhi ...reached there with much diffilulty(missing classes and even labs ) but due to thanks to unfortunate event (part 2) were out of the event before we could even reach there .......(tough luck)......anyways .. back college it was time for a mid sem (again!!!!!) . It came and even whizzed off past us (was like magic ).............then came the HALL DAY another event then ALFAAZ the literary event then MEGABUCKS blah blah blah ......... did n t took part in either and studied for a month nearly and took my end sems ...but it was n t over i am still here in IIT Kanpur trying to do the course i took and work on the project .......


This was my first year in my college (a little busy ) but nevertheless keeping hope for the forthcoming year

The Beginning

So here 's the beginning of me blogging (Carrier) . Being this ma first blog I think not I ll able to write much . OK so i take dis opportunity to describe some of ma close friends...
Now let' s start with Anshul (black water as khiti calls him): He has been there with and for me so long that i even don t remember ... One of the most helpful and LOGICAL person I have come across in my life . One thing I hate about him is that he is always right (he does what one should do but would not LIKE TO) .........
Now is Kshitij s turn(Khiti) ......:He is the most hardworking of our group and is full of enthusiasm all the time . If you are down and out just talk to him and u ll b like on cloud no. 9.
Now i turn to Sandeep .......(black forest again on khiti's demand ).... He's simply a dude of our group . Always on the top and still so cool .One who inspired me to write this blog along with Anshul Just love his attitude .......
Abhinav(the vagaari ): ( sorry for that name but it s again on public demand ) just the qualities wat a joker wud have . can make you laugh any place and anytime with his anecdotes (believe me there r plenty but none of them is true).but on price of vagaar.lolzzzz
next in the list is Vipul( concept ).: can astonish u with his concepts at any pt. of time (even during his sleep ) . thoroughly a child from his heart and a very good person to be with...


These are the most wonderful people on earth(at least i think so)..... miss them and will surely remember them throughout..
