College revisited... and OH the pain!!

as some of u know i was whiling away my time (helping out natraj sir with his phd in data mining or so i claimed) in cbe. when i first entered the hostel, it was around 8 30.. and students were walking/running to class (i thot at first that their speed is actually a parameter that can be used to measure their level of sincerity but then i realised that there can be conditions like unfinished assignment to be copied, last benches to be reserved, gf's/bf's to be seen etc in which cases a soul can be totally pardoned for wanting to rush to college..) i then walked past the n block grounds my mind whirring with different memories, some distant, some that seemed like they'd happened just yesterday.. i suddenly realized i was feeling philosophical and it was totally unlike me.. i then began thinking abt how poor these ppl were to go to coll when i could sit and idle away my time and a feeling of dumb euphoria overcame me.. a few more students rushed past.. a couple of them complaining abt how lethargic i seemed and debating whether i'd bunked or not.. one of them was observant enough to point out i was wearing a round neck t shirt and was probly a junior hoping to join the coll.. (bloody hell!)later that day i planned to go to the lab and see nat sir so i could get started on working (i can hear "yeah right!"'s).. i had no id and was surprised none of the security asked me for one.. i noticed that a lotta parents were waiting anxiously near the e block.. i caught the lift and went to the fourth floor admiring the bridge and a girl walking on it. i entered the lab and our juniors were sitting there as vetti as we were.. i pushed the door in and stood uncertainly searching for nat sir.. and one of our juniors, i dont know her name, gave me a v condescending look and said "BITSAT ENTRANCE THIRD FLOOR LA PA" (that brought an end to my dumb euphoria.. ) i mumbled weakly that i'd passed out and was her senior and walked off to the terrace :(from then on a few of our juniors have begun recognizing me. a few even ventured far enough to ask me how to prepare for placements for which i gave them a lotta bullshit anyway. there was this junior (lets call him junior_1) who asked me if i was planning to go to the US to which i ob very proudly said yes and that i was going to go to ohio state university.. he asked me if i dint get into IIT chicago cos thats where his cousin was apparently.. i patiently explained to him that osu was a better college etc etc.. he then asked me for my cg and i grudgingly told him the obscene number to which his reply was "ivlo cg vechu ungalukku dual eh kadachirukkume na?? why are u going to the US?" i felt it would be justified if i decided to jump off from the 4th floor.i then learnt two of our juniors are planning to write their gre and do their MS.. i hunted them down and spoke to them and then asked them wat their area of interest was.. they replied "area of interest ellam illa na.. we dint get jobs in cts, tcs or any other company so far.. our cgs are 6.8 and 7.1.. so only we are writing gre.." i could totally pardon junior_1 for asking me such a question.. i stopped trying to talk to our juniors after that and only responded to wat they asked.. so a warning to the 7 of u who are also going to the US..if our juniors ever ask u abt gre, tell them ur company, or in some cases ur cg first (do u read kona mooka?) :)that day i bumped into sisty in college.. he'd come cos his sister had got an admission in msc sftware.. a feeling of camaraderie swept thru me when i saw him. i dint tell him abt my distressed state of mind knowing fully well the bugger would take advantage of it :)anyways... the whole experience wasnt wat one with a sane mind would call delightful.. working with nat sir was the only compelling factor.. it was fun, exciting and v enlightening.. i worked in psg tech for the first time.. and enjoyed it..
