A TYPICAL DAY AT IIT DELHI

Well, so i finally kick start my blogging with this entry. For past so many days have been searchin for a topic 2 write my frst blog.... Then i thought y nt my dream insti of which m a part nw..
Since i have arrived here at iit all my frnds have been asking abt hw is iit?? Hw do u spend a day n wat all u ppl do....
Frst of all, i wud like to end all ur misconceptions beforehand, that iit people are nerdy n all into books.. n ppl of the likes only make here.. cuz in such a short span of tym hav spnt here i have knwn these ultra cool guys who knw hw u cn make the best out of ur life.. IIT STYLE!!!! M glad i have been one of them..
So nw leme tell u abt a typical day that v spnd here in iit..
P.S. all events and characters mentioned here are purely real, and any resemblance to any kind of fictional event or fantasy is purely coincidental.. Also there may be people whose schedule may not match with mine, but this blog is all about me, my life and my day at iit..

SUBAH K 7 BJE: abe uth haramkhor, aj phir late ho gaye (8 bje ki class hai...) n then sum1 can b heard sayin “ Kaha tha Yar ki muvie mat dekho MAL(Mathematics Lecture) mein phir lagegi subah subah....
Khair, this is hw v start r day, bang on wid the frst gali of the day..
Bhaag bhaag k adha adhura brush kia.. jese hi ur rushing towards the loo, ek awaz aegi “Arae koi pani toh dedo, sala pani hi khtam hogya andar..” n ur lyk.............................
Uske baad standing below the shower for the bath.. PAR PAANI HO TAB NA..
Chalo u take out the drinkin water frm the thermos n all the kind of cans kept in the room, postpone the bath, and wash ur face and wet ur hair for the tym being. Time 730
Nashta karne mess pahuche... bread jam n milk k alawa nuthing is edible..
U finish the bfast around 745, wow just 15 mins left n u have got this 3 km strtch to cover if u want 2 b on tym, leave alone gettin the fav seat( 2 complete the piece of sleep u were distrbdd frm cuz of this useless lecture, tho MAL is an exception.. you fall in2 sleep ryt in the frst row itself)..
So 3 km n 15 mins, iit bus remains the only hope.. so u run ur asses off to catch the damn vehicle... n wen it cums... DUDE, ITS ALRDY FULL.. stil the bus driver exclaims “ arae abi toh khali padi hai chalo andar chalo baakion ko bi aane do...” so u spnd frst few minutes or ur day outsyd hostel takin in the aroma of the atmosphere.. mst of which is mde up by ur mates in the bus..... u still manage to stand n tolerate the splendid aroma n trust me the sight of other students walkin the stretch and gazin at the bus as a 6 yr old wud c his bro’s newly bought game console wid an ache in his heart, wish i had it....
There u get off the bus at the bharti building, the largest departmental building of the insti.. belongin to the compu deptt... another 2-3 min walk wud land u in the insti ms buildin(ms:Multi Storey).. while sum lucky brats get 2 attend classes in the ac others sweat again under the electric fan in the LT’s(lecture theaters)
As soon as the class starts, bade budhon ki baatein yaad ati hain” kisi kaam ko adhura mat chhodho”.. so u begin 2 finish the job incomplete since last night... n evn the profs have the least 2 care abt u r awake or nt.. they r so much in love with their subjects that they dont evn find it worth 2 have a luk whether the students are findin it nething 2 worth luk at..
So there goes off ur frst lecture... nw days loaded with tuts, pracs more tuts and more pracs... tuts r subject matters restricted to the first 2 rows of the class while the rest of them either talk abt the last nyt or upcumin muvie... or evn frustrated talks abt the gals in iit.. oops sorry mentionned the wrong word.. actually iit has only 2 genders... Males and Nomales.. Call it our misfortune there is no such thing s Female in iit..
N nw cums the intolerable 4 hrs prac.. wow!! Just the ryt ingredient missin for another gud sleep tonight.. evn a 2 hour run in the insti grounds would nt make u so tired than this 4 hour nonproductive work.. wid sum confusing experiments given by some confused scientists and leavin it all 2 us 2 follow...
In between u get an hour 2 get bak 2 the hostel have lunch and cum bak.. jaate toh bhagte bhagte jaate hain cuz it itni bhuk tumhe lyf mein kabhi ni lagi hogi na kabi lagegi.. par khane ki shakl dekhte hi adhi bhuk hawa hojaati hai.. aaur baaki roti ka pehla tukda todne ki koshish karte hue.. m sayin koshish kyunki usae try karte hue itna tym aur effort lagta hai kiu u cn plan all ur day in that tymm...
Let me tel u abt the ingredients.. the secret recipe hw to make a typical iit roti... the flour is sprinkled on a mixture of latex, pykrete and water and then tawe pe fenk k sek do.. while latex is to give it the flexibility that wud help u take out tym for plannin out ur day, pykrete just strengthens it so much so dat u dnt need lal dant manjan all ur lyf.. v r plannin to launch a commercial advertisin r flexible and strong roti s a thing 2 replace vicco and dabur in the market..
The only thing for which i go to lunch n dinner is the saunf which u cn have s much s u lyk, tho it goes sthe same for the food, but u wnt find it gud 2 xercise that option... u finish the lunch by 120 and s the class is frm 2 toh ek jhapki toh le hi skte hain.. u record an alarm to sound at 140..
S soon s u close ur eyes u dnt need n effort 2 let u slp, the hot summer sun is enuf 2 tire u 4 dat..
DUPAHAR 155: abe b********* bhago!!!! The same old story..
Class mein entry 215.. is class mein nahi soenge... kyuki bag mein biscuits n chips rakhe hain.. hahahhahaha.. sula k toh dikhae koi... still honi ko kaun rok sakta hai.. thoda bahut kha pi k thandi sawa ac ki... aahhhaaa!!! Is there nething better in the universe.. seems like njoying a movie at the priya in the ac with the chips and biscuits on....
Khair another class till 4.. n manufacturing practices is the best class 2 get ur sleep s all the lecture slides are online n u cn have a luk at them netym, so y waste n hour listening to the prof.. wen u cn get a sleep in advance 2 prepare for the movie at nyt..
So ur finally free at 4, tiringly moving towards the hostel, sum1 exclaims chai milegi hostel mein toh... n evry1 steps up their speed racing past the hospital and the mini campus.. bas ek garama garam chai din bhar ki thakan k baad aur woh bi fokat mein toh mazaaaa hi aajae.. kyu???
Vese v ppl think a lot abt money, hw 2 save the money on useless things.. ptani kab kaun kanjar dost saala hamla karde.. phir nanga karke hi chodhte hain..
phir cums resting at the hostel rooms, after 7 hours of pakaun n fodu studies its a bliss 2 cum bak 2 ur room.. “HOSTEL SWEET HOSTEL”.. aur tabhi koi mugga aapke saamne aake padhne beth jae.. u just feel lyk fucking that bloody bastard to death.. nevertheless u leave him thinkin the IIT system has alrdy done enuf 2 fuck his ass off.. moreova none of us dont have a will 2 heed to the act 377..
ab uske bad starts the msti tym.. FRNDSSSSSS!!!!!! Thats the best part of the hostel life, in fact the IIT life, u just cnt survive widout ur mates.. to bust ur stress, to let out ur frustration, to abuse the system dil khol k.. thats wat u need the most specially in the case of our insti where profs just bug u up n totally piss u off wid assignments n tutorials..
the youth cafe is the best place to hang out and a pitcher is a cool drink 2 hang out with... SORRY Parle for the catch.. so there u r wid ur frnds, n then u discuss is this the place that u burn ur asses for the last 2 years, is the place worth... pehle 2 saal yahan aane k lie lagwao apni phir yahan profs se lagwao.. n then u decide that its tym for sum freakin out.. n then there cums the most hap place on campus..... SAC(Students Activity Centre).. ask guys where they r the most n ul find them SACing...
SAC has got loadz of activities that u cn spend the whole sem there and stil u wnt b bored... it houses a pool room, a billiards room, a swimming pool, a gymnasium, a tt room, 2 squash courts, and a badminton hall for the sporting activites besides a fine arts club, the robotics club, and an indoor sports club with a music club and a commitee room..... no wonder its every students destination on campus.. btw havnt seen much gals there, are they 2 bore or 2 shy 2 turn up..... oh forgot it, gals have their own game of backbiting and of course the boring GTALK... i wonder hw the gals dont get bored pokin their noses in sumthing thats none of their business....
After SACing, a roam around the campus would take another couple of hours to roam around.. and theres a special attraction where each iit student goes atleast 1ce in a day... WIND-T... a pet name for the Wind tunnel... its a structural marvel at the base of the insti building ryt btw the ex hall and the sem hall,.. it has been designed so as to be the wind amplifier.. at nyt a lil breeze becomes strng enuf inside the wind t to sway away ur hair.. and the best part is its midway btw r hostel and the gals hostel.. so u cn c sum of the non-existent gender of iit over there.. tho u wud b highly disappointed if u have been doin it all thru ur lyf since 8th.. but if u had been a nerd last 2 years and havent seen the opposite sex that much.. u wud like the place i stil cnt say that u wud love it.. cuz the female gender is so much missing in the iit.. thanks to kapil sibbal v hope 2 c a handful of gud gals at least worth a watch...
Also 2 iit dudes.. there is an alternative if ur tired of the cemented floor of the wind t u cn njy the same pleasure in the bharti lawns.. u get a natural bed of grass and it is truely lovely to lie there and watch planes flyin overhead evry 5 odd minutes...
Cumin bak its the tym 2 part, tooo tired to roam nemore.. sum enthus go bak 2 uth cafe for anothr round of pitcher.. others retire bak 2 their rooms 2 sleep.. and this is how the iit day ends..
Kindly note that none of the muggas are involved in the above mentioned itinerary.. while the rest of the iitians may have other ways 2 njy their tym.. this is hw an average iitian spends his day.. especially a fuccha.. the routine may change over the next 3-4 years.. still much of it wud remain the same...
Apart frm this i would also like to mention sum of the other attractions without which life in iit is incomplete.. frst of all cums the thing that all of u r acquainted with(i hope each 1 of u have mugged up 5 point sum1..) and almost every student in iit has gone 2..
SASI’s.. a roadside dhaba just outside the iit hostel gate serving excellent paranthas and chai evn a shikanji, as well as cigarettes.. n xcellent place 2 give a light treat 2 ur frnds..
Then cums the SDA complex... its ryt opposite to the iit main gate... and houses the centre for the main requirement that 70% iit relies upon 2 survive.. a THEKA!!!!!
Also for givin ur gal n impressive date and 2 luk at others’ gals is a barista, subway, village cafe.. and a couple of sweet shops.. an archies gallery and much more... all in all a gud place 2 see the delhi gals including the school ones as all the coaching centres are nearby... go enjoy..

So this is how v live our days in iit.. V all are extremely proud to b here and njyin the way v have been..
There hasnt been a single test 2 determine hw do v stand in the race of another 700 fuchhaas so v cnt say what v r doin is ryt for r cgs is gud or nt.. the point is vr njyin 2 the fullest annd thats wat matters..
Lastly i would like 2 quote a one liner i saw recently
“WE WILL BE WHAT WE WILL TO BE”
I hope u like the blog kindly write in ur comments... i have much more in store for u.. il cum up with it s soon s i find tym.. minors r approaching il find a new story..
N who knws there myt b another 5 poiint sum1 in the making...........
