Back in kgp.
I have returned to kgp for my super final year. The first thing I noticed when I entered my hall of residence i.e hostel is that i could hardly recognise any face. All the people around seemed unknown to me. Nevertheless the sight of some my old friends in the wing rejuvinated me. There are hardly any 5 th yr students in our hostel. So, in order to free ourselves frm boredom, we try to interact as much as possible with our juniors especially the 4 th yr ones.
After the intial cleaning of rooms and ablutions it was time for lunch. As i entered the mess, a sea of unknown faces greeted me. I had a quiet lunch in a remote corner of the mess. The food was pathetic as usual, specially so after the enjoying the delicacies at home for over a month. The beginning of the first day had been pretty disappointing and by the afternoon i was completely frust. Watched the widely acclaimed Parineeta tht day. Vidya Balan looked stunning, but in a different way, compared to other actresses of this era. I hope she has a bright future ahead. The film was pretty entertaining irrespective of the fact that the quality of the print was appaling.
The first week of a new semester is always very hectic. One has to meet the facalty advisor, choose frm the electives offered, see tht there in no time clashes and so on and so forth. This semester was no different. The chaos was hightened by the fact that you have to also meet your guide and explain to him the progress made. I think more time is wasted in trying to meet the guide than in the actual meeting with him. I have a guide as well as a co guide. Arranging a meeting between the two is an arduous task which i have failed to accomplish till now. However on the project front things are now moving a bit smoothly.
I appeared for the free Mock Cat of TIME. Well it was disastrous to say the least. I completed the Basic Reference Material(BRM) and then took some sectional tests as well. So, I was hoping to do well in this free test and get an understanding as to whr i am viz a viz the rest of the country. However I find that I am at the bottom heap, atleast in kgp. I think that it is now better to drop all grand dreams abt CAT and instead concentrate on brushing up my programming skills in order to get a job. Hopefully C parne pe Infy ya TCS me to job lag hi jayega .
The second years have come and they have started their initial interaction with us, the seniors. You know what i mean!
Well, just the other day I asked a 2nd yr to guess my yr and he replied 3rd yr. I was shocked.
On another occasion on the mess table, an unknown third yr sat beside me and suddenly shouted "Kya be tu ne mereko wish nahi kiya?"
I was too stunned to say anything so i never responded. I think he realised his folly (or someone told him) and he sat down quietly for his lunch.
Now why did this happen to me not once but twice? Is it their mistake or am I to be blamed for this perceived image of mine?
Do i look very young or do I lack the personality of a final year?
Well, I need to do something about this urgently.
