Ooops...
50 marks- and how much do I score!!! Who will score more than me and who less??? How well I’ll improve upon my last performance??? Which subject I’m gonna give more attention and which the least??? Such should be the line of thought of my dear friends, cutting across all branches, all years of engineering…right here, right now!!!
Before that, of course the usual relaxed, chilled out attitude of a Mid Sem being over. The Yippee’s, the Hurray’s, the Ohhh’s that so characterized you, me and them…they were a great sight, especially after that horrible deadly silence that had palled over the entire college during the past week. Ehhh…Those are gone. I like it this way.
Should I go on living in the past or look forward at the future!!! I don’t know. But I know for sure, I will stop having nightmarish dreams. I’ll stop dreaming MTP questions the night before ASE paper. I’ll stop feeling nervous about a worthless shit of a paper that’s for some stupid reason is considered to be 50 marksworth. And of all things, I’ll stop studying for a while, which has the potential of extending till the next set of exams come, bigger in magnitude, better in quality, nothing you have ever faced before!!! Yeah the End Sems.
We all see a thousand posters, notices everyday adorning our hostel walls, notice boards and what not. Those little pieces of paper, are often wow, celebrating some great interesting event, function…and of course appealing our hearts straight out, not to miss the opportunities and be a part of it. How nice!!!
Now imagine this. It’s November ’08. The classes have been over for a week now. The End Sems are what we are waiting for, with bated breath. As if that was not enough, you have posters all over the college, you have pamphlets in your rooms. What do they say, Who was it sent by? Yeah…they would be from your institute, respective departments, the teachers. Inviting.
“ Welcome friends. Come and enjoy. It’s pure fun out here!
I bid adieu. With a lot happening all over the world, mostly bad, it’s really sad. It’s like 20 years hence, we’ll remember our NITK days, when the present spate of horrible events are mentioned in passing, in the newspapers, in the political, social discussions. For us it would be a mix of the bad that happened to the world and the life we lived at NITK as 5sBT’s!!!

Vexation Guaranteed!!!!!!!!!!!
Well,the great epics Ramayana n Mahabharatha portrays a lot of demons.The very atrocious scene about these is that 'one always follow the other'.Peace was always at stake untill an "avathara" descended.Now lets come back to kalyug.To be precise, to the year 2008.Here they are the poor kids of 5SBT civil,obliged to suffer the consequences of everything under the sun.There lies the demon,fully emasculted by the lord(though for a short time span).Wait,whats there?Hey,there comes yet another demon.Guess who???????Its Mr Midsem.I know you all guessed him right.Why not, if you have been used to him for past two years.Does getting inured assures something to sigh upon?Anyhow VEXATION IS GUARANTEED!!!!!!!!!!

i DuNnO CiViL
When GB Shaw said ‘Those who can’t, they teach’, and that was aeons ago, he surely laid down a truth for the whole eternity. I like that. It says so much about us as well. Ain’t we like ‘We can, so we engineer’. Too constricted a view! Too un-holy an attitude! Fine, but I stand by it!
Here’s my contradiction.
I don’t know, or perhaps I don’t want to know why am I engineering. I am pursuing civil, but do I ever feel like the engineer-to-be, the-technocrat-to-be?
Both viewpoints rule my mind.
I heard a lot, I saw a lot, I wondered a lot and even I dreamed a lot. That was yesterday.
What about today then…Well I C-Evil a lot. I can’t help it…satire, pessimism, criticism. That sums it up.
Hey, all this, why on earth? Why do I need to soul search a lot…these days? Introspecting, Ruminating, Clarifying…what else and what not!
Remembering the past few days, highlight of which was the freshers party definitely. As and when, I for the matter got to know the different layers, the different shades, the different differences…we all have. 5sBTs, as we are, so we are. Each part, each thing, each aspect of the freshers party…we handled the way we wanted it to be. I am so full of admiration, for all of us…and for myself as well. Self-congratulatory, does it seem so! But then as I said ‘As we are, so we are’!!!
If I stuff my BDD assignment in the cupboard and indulge in everything else, I am happy, I am satisfied. In fact I am at peace. It shows in my face, it just glows. Try checking out with yourself.
Logically, I’m for what I feel, not what I think. But challenges are such, they need the mind to work and the heart to rest. This I fail to do sometimes an end up messing up just everything. Like I do with my days and nights…I love lazing around, I feel for it. But that’s insanity, you can’t!
“You just canna sleep and sit…
You hafta run and fall…
You gotto rise and run…
Under the blazing sun…
Under the starry sky…
Under the moonless night…
Under the raining clouds…”
Musings, as these, never cease to stop.
May be generalizing too much on life and ignoring civil was not my idea here. Here I ask you to bear with me. That gives me the freedom to climb up a TV tower and shout ‘i DuNnO CiViL’.
