Two Years Down......Still A "Single" Status.....!!!

420 intake.380 boys and 40 gals. This is what every fresher’s joining NITR never anticipate. Unlike school where the ratio was 1:1, but 10:1 in NITR. Every freshman joins the first class in the institute not to be the next “EINSTEIN” but more like the “Curious Case Of BENJAMIN” to find out “What’s In Store” and “How Many”. This is where many lose their hope and like “Domino Effect” this 10:1 results in attendance shortage then grade back then a very low GPA and finally a increment in frustration level. Everyone try their level best to the backbone. Many make ducks and drakes of several chances, finally landing up in crisis. But in the end its the “Luck By Chance” game where the flimsy and tenuous guys get the ambrosia(well-favoured GF) and the brawny and hefty guys the trashy mess food(weird looking girls)[:(].Still there are others who find it hard to get some food. The gateway to the Promised Land (Ladies Hostel) being closed beyond 10 pm one needs a alternative to get connected with those sitting inside the barricades. This is where GTalk-A metier comes as a saviour. Rather than writing c codes in 1st year, most of us are busy searching for female ids in ORKUT. And I’m being one of them. But the problem with GTalk is that you can’t see the other person you are busy with, unlike yahoo or msn messenger.
Falling in love is one of the most easiest thing in the world, I know because I have done it thousands of time”. This is the primary mantra of every UG. Same being with me I too like others, used to fall in love with every female id I had. Until one day................!!!!(here it goes how it happened).
Three semesters down. After dateless try, still I was having a “Single” status over ORKUT profile. Every day was passing by with a surge of increased frustration level. Until one day I realised it’s the “destiny calling”. It was winter of 2k9 that’s Jan. I finished my siesta, had my food, opened the lid of my laptop, clicked on GTalk and finally signed in. Eventually, a long list of online friends,. I scrolled down to find some young lady. Tough luck!!! A deserted look. [:(] Only guys with, droll linguistic expression, some with excerpts copied from others verbatim, and others with mumbo-jumbo to be more specific “chhattu” custom messages. GTalk in simple words is solely a bachelor’s land. You won’t ever find committed couples hovering inside GTalk. thats good for me. GTalk itself shortlist single chap and miss [:)]. Failed to found any girls I signed out of it to try a bit hard to soar-up my GPA.

Excerpts From NITRians....!!!

Finally, two years cashed in one's chip in NIT Rourkela. As it is a national institute it has students ,professor from different culture & background, different state and different english proficiency. In the last two years I have come across many such incidents where their english proficiency stood challenged. But its for sure that you wont find such droll english expression alibi which has taken the centrestage in between the students to bug their friends or to share a smile while in stress. With passing time these have become hackneyed, still i will love to share those excerpts with you. These are some of the precious hackneyed that will remain in my memory for all my years.I hope you will enjoy these too!!!

(To the students....)Please Be Quiet......The Director Just Passed Away . -Math's Lecturer
I hope director is listening too.This man need a paper back for sure.

2.(To a student after he failed to submit his assignment in due time....)
How can you submit your assignment??....Yesterday I saw you in the movie hall with my wife..... -Math's Lecturer

3.There will be a surprise test tommorow. - Math's Lecturer
OMG....!! It's still a surprise.

This is the best branch I have ever seen.....(after a 2 mins of noisy praising commotion).... I don't expect such kind of behaviour from you. This is the worst branch I have ever seen. - Safety Proff.
This is what you are supposed to pay if you ever try to deceive mechies.

5. Don't fire the crackers, let the night-fall. - A Compu . Student

I never knew about the website...thanx to the prof.

9. Basically when I'm referring basically part of laser..basically i don't mean to say that basically it is bad.....but basically it is laser so gud.basically these are in lab..basically in physics lab.
