I`m having cold feet ..both technically and metaphorically implied. The winter chill is here. Had The Times Of India not reported that Delhi`s minimum dropped to a cool 4.7 degrees, I wouldn`t have felt this continuous psychic shiver of the torso since morning! Suddenly I feel like trapping all the sunlight of the world around my increasingly diminishing frame, and lock myself in my room ..shut all doors and windows ..turn all lights off ..transmutate temporarily into a recluse ..because I need a break. Yes I need to get away ..I need a voluntary retirement from life for some days ..the exams have drained all the energy out of me ..I`m too stressed out ..not that I`m scoring absolutes in those papers ..but still, to spend two hours surrounded by the best brains of the country ..all deeply engrossed in solving questions of the toughest imaginable levels, sadistically designed in weary succession to crack your confidence in your abilities as an IIT`ian ..with the huge misconception that they are preparing engineers of tomorrow ..and those fellow Computer Scientists subconsciously caving in to things they just have to do because it gets them a 50k+ monthly salary or an entry to one of those Ivy League Colleges abroad! Its sick!
People have retarded their thinking prowess ..and channelised it to just one concern ..getting high grades in those once a double fortnight examinations. It is worse than school. Its no college. I don`t crave for the premier tag of this institution any more. It`s all bloody hogwash. Once here, everybody`s sole aim is to add this coveted degree in their kitty of academic accomplishments in those stipulated four or five years. Don`t the people at the helm of policy making realise IIT`ians are ending their lives courtesy those obscenely roughshod rules? Do they necessarily have to be this savage to hold up the elitist tag? I don`t think so. A life is worth everything. It cannot be taken to uphold some freaks` decision making abilities.
So you can see that I`m visibly moved at the suicides in associate IIT`s in the last month. Thankfully I`ve never been remotely witness to such an incident. Not that I haven`t climbed frustration levels during my stay in this esteemed institute ..but never actually transgressed the threshold of not continuing this essentially morbid existence!
And now its almost 2 in the morning ..the mercury is dipping dangerously low ..and I`ve to study if I`ve decided to exist in this exceedingly competitive environment ..my eyes seem to give in as well. Nobody dares to be different here ..you do and you are history! I`m sorry ..I cannot flow with the normal channels of academe here. I can think of my own, and I`ll continue foxing the system ..and I`ll always have my way out ..cuz its my life ..and I decide how am I going to structure it.
Yes. Life looks good now. I just need to take such regular doses of optimism to keep me going!
Nobody dares to be different here ..you do and you are history!
Not really.
Not always.
Yes, it’s coold…

//its my life ..and I decide how am I going to structure it.

@ rabert
guess I`ll address u in the Ajit variant now on ..gives me some kind of weird kick 😀
[robertfrust]
Arey haan, I forgot that one.
But these days people find that a sign of my uselessness and lack-of-worth.
Maybe I should reduce it and let u win the crown.
but then again i’m not feeling the heat because i’m not competing with anyone..If u want the titles to any of the above, tell me and I shall gladly withdraw.
Yes,, i’m in a benevolently cynical mood now.
Maango duniya ke logon jisko jo mangna hai jise.waise to kuch hi nahi, par fir bhi jo de sakti hoon zaroor de doongi

my my czar – i’m due to land in delhi in a couple of weeks aur yeh khabbar sunkar toh meri kulfi jammgayi!!! And to think that i’ll be travellin even further north into punjab, yaar… lagta hai mein ek baraf ka statue bankar rehjaungiiiiiiiiiii
p.s.on another note, I totally agree with what you say about over-rated high-end institutions – they rob u of your life, and leave u standing with a piece of paper which depicts the tale of our sorry lives for 3-5 yrs spent in the institution. i rebelled. and I survived… tu bhi jeeyegaa laal! 🙂
@ princesse
baap re ..China mein thandi nahin hai kya?
seriously ..heat sinks arrange kar lena ..meteorological department says it`s goin to be foggy soon as well 😮

ahem ahem ..I intend to know everything u can speak in this regard ..what institution did u attend?
I`m somewhat rebelling as well ..not sure if I`ll survive 😮
Yaar – is this gonna be another ‘let’s use Czar’s comment box as an instant messenger chatting facility’ again 😛 🙂
China – it’s hella cold there man… but not where i am.. the weather is only starting to pick up now – only around 13/14 deg celcius still… next week tak thand yahaan pohnch jaayegi…
As for Fog in punjab and delhi – yup i tend to encounter it every year when i visit.. it’s amazing..love the season and the dampness of the cold fresh wind on my dupatta as i wrap it around my neck and cover my mouth… haayyye, mera des… mhaaraa pind!!!! 🙂 yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@ princesse

pind!!!
there`s so much I want to know ..umm ..about u ..u r still a mystery to me ..anyway, only wen u wish to 😀
Bapre, chillax nahi you are already chilled out.so “hottax”:))
Bhai, when ever you think of cold, think about your sis in this la la land where temperatre is freakinf 8 farenheit:(
Where, her car breaks down at that temperature and when she waits at that parking lot for a jumpstart.
Dont worry, stay warm and I will make sure I send you those regular doses of raysofsun:)
Just one more to go “Haathi chala gaya, poonch reh gayee hai”:p
its a big bad world out there my friend. I expect things to get even worse once we step out of the college. I do think some people really like what they are doing in iit, specially in your department. That they will get a great salary for doing what they like should not be held against them. But not many fall in that category, i agree.
4-5 in Delhi is too cold. Stay warm with loads of cloths.
Good luck
