That very day

Here I was, lying on my "couch"(i tried but that very thing cant b called a "bed");miles away from sleep despite having a gruesome n tiring day at a lightning quick pace. Is this what happens here??? Having woke up in the morning in jubilant spirits, the first day of classes had taken its toll on me...its like i never had such a day in ages....classes from 8-5(with a one hr break spent standing in the line in mess for most of the time) and then CPA where my sore ankle did play the required part and then quad...omg.
The last few days were equally tiring since the day we were here but they were somehow manageable.In the morning we reached classes thinking it would be the same as were in Bansal's or colleges witnessed on TV/films. But then, this is IIT. The prof just gave his "intro" as the first few words he said and then just ran away with the lecture at a frantic pace not even bothered by our presence there."Try to ask as many doubts as you can and floor the instructor with intellectual ques!!"i remembered the words said at the orientation(the only speech during which I wasn't sleeping.). The lecture ended with almost no one having come to terms with what was taught. The second lecture was on the same lines. The prof speeded and we slept.The next one-Physics(one of my favs before coming here) followed the same trajectory ;we unnerstood a little bit but it was basically maths and I slept most of the while. The lab was bit of fun but shortlived. Altogether this place had started to disappoint me on the first day itself. "Tomorrow will be better" was all i could say.
Then my thoughts drifted onto the things i had seen in the last few days-gbm, orientation, interaction, seniors, wingies etc. "All that has been said,shown and assured to you is nothing but a big lie. Juniors are r***ed here." were the first sentences of our first gbm we still remember. It was a start of something strange; I could feel it;good or bad I was about to find out.

The First steps....

"When you can see the destination, don't think you are near; because the hurdles have just started coming."
aha
the first entry!!the thought of having my own blog prevailed since i got into habit of reading blogs.I tried but it did go down as one of those things which i started and then abandoned(lost my "Midas" touch with words).This first entry does make me feel like a 3 yr old kid on the doorstep of class on the first day of the school;Life has come to a full cycle. From a child prodigy to "the next big thing" to a ever smiling kid to to finally clearing the JEE; life has given me all the talents I require.
But here it is-at the very place that boasts of grooming country's finest talents "discovered" by a 6 hr JEE paper, i am now a mere witness to others success(not that i am jealous of them).

So welcome to this small world of an IITian, the land where the country dreams to be(and just respect us for being there), but why?? Hence a look at the proceedings here that i encountered in my first year.....
