Scene: H6 canteen, time around 1 a.m. in the night. Two days before the start of the midsems. stud1 is waiting for his 'maggi' .(why does he always endup waiting?I wonder...) stud3 makes his entry and orders for chai.

stud3: ek chai dena (to canteen guy)
stud3: (turning towards stud1) aur baiya.. kya haal hai ?
stud1: (murmuring..a bit unsure)bus..chal raha hai..
stud1: achha..tell me..did you read those 2 papers of compilers?
stud3: nahi.. abi raat ko padoonga...
stud1: ...
stud3: ...

and they carry on... as an iitian, stud1 did not find stud3's plans as flawed.

Excerpt: Breakfast time talk (someone special)

Scene : A lazy saturday morning, time 9ish, two of our studs from previous post are having a brownish yellow coloured thick slice of something which vaguely resembles 'some' indian bread. Ofcourse the studs are in shorts and obviously they have been up for hardly 10 mins.

stud1 : .....
stud2 : .....
(the conversation is.. as always boring and inconsequential)

The third stud, who has had his bath!!! and well dressed!!!!!!! joins them in their effort of munching down the hard thick brown slice.

stud1: arre wah ! kya bath hai !? going to meet someone special ?
stud3: hmmm..yeah!! I am going to meet my guide!!

*sigh* life at iit

I saw this article on Lal bahadur shastri on rediff. After reading that read this and observe the difference in what two of the closest people to shastri say about him. I dont know much about Shastri to comment on who is saying the truth, I am ashamed of that. But the polished answers of the son, Anil shastri, which are almost at the level of boot licking, madam is god, approach of congress men, left me wondering about his credibility. It hurts to see son of such a legend compromising on his father's legacy for the sake of pleasing the madam. May be he has seen / experienced the result of his father's fight against the Nehru-Gandhi 'dynasty' (if you ask me it is almost at the border of monarchy, infact an improved version as there is no gender discrimination, but that is beside the point) and he is being a street smart politician, but still, it hurts.

funnny

came across this funny post about a person being mistaken for a chat bot. Also if you have never talked to Eliza, try this..and as suggested in the page try talking about your personal life to get a better illusion of intelligence.
