BITS retouched
Its indeed gr8 to get back to one's alma mater, Same was with me. The very fact of me going back there had pumped in lots of adrenaline in me, I was full of enthu and PRO for this trip. The difference was, this time i will be going in a private innova specially for me and did not have to face the sandy/dusty roads. It will be a better journey, but it missed the fun we had that was there when we all friends used to travel together. Even though we were tired after the bumpy sandy ride- it was nice to get back there.
Set out from Delhi to Pilani, we came to saw many colors of Haryanvi culture. Welcome to Tau's place. Call ppl Tau or chaudhary and they will be eager to help you. I personally admire them a lot. "oh le bhaya" is an awesome punch line. I always cherish it. "Bhaisahab je bass seedhe nikal jao, loharu aa javega". those typical ladies in their chunari dress + the gigantic haryanvi males.
Sweets everywhere, politicians moving in their vehicles. Names of the politicians is really funny especially their local names. Old people enjoying hukka paani, big big moustaches all around. remember the special doctors that you will come across, its so funny to read them, "loharu loharu" is the call all around as we were crossing Loharu and marching towards Pilani.
We reached Pilani, crossed shaheed bhagat sing chownk, panchvati, everything was so crystal clear to eyes, we used to roam in these special land some time back [ 5 years back ]. Pilani gates were welcoming us, and we boarded the Vfast hostel. one of my colleagues asking me why its named Hostel?? [ something i did not had an answer too ]. I giggled and silenced him to not worry about names and asked him to get ready fast. We should not miss the beautiful Campus.
Yes, everything is still yellow, though its becoming lighter day by day. [ good for the campus ].
Some bhavans were newly painted and looked fresh, students were peeking around from the bhavans, some cycling. We moved towards ShankarVyas Mess and noticed Peacock. My colleague was so excited and started catching them with his Camera. Moved towards the Saraswati temple, Sadly it got closed, bahar se hi darshan kiya and we left for Shivganga towards connaught. ShivGanga sounded more serene this time, there was no chirping of birds nor the irritating voices of Peacock.
I could not resist myself had awesome champi in one of the saloons in Cannaught. Its damm cheap, 10 bucks only, gave 10 more as a tip :-) and i can't miss the champi from here. Cannaught looked the same, yes now they have Sulabh sauchalay there. Was wondering, why they made one there. but soon i was able to appreciate it. Back to Vfast, had mast simple lunch. it was delicious. The same rotis, dal we used to have and crib every day. This time all of it looked so good. VKB mess manager was now the Vfast manager, he recognized me, that was even gr8, chatted for some time with him about recent activties in BITS and Mess system.
Our campus PPT was at 7, We(Uday and me) got to know that there was RAF special show - "IRON MAN II". we just wanted to go there somehow and started to find our way to manage some RAF tickets. Bad luck, we had a scheduled online test for students, so we had to be there, but both of could not control our instincts of seeing movie in AUDI. As soon as the clocked ticked 9, we ran towards AUDI, requested the guards - "BhaiyyaJi ,plz jaane dijiye". Bahut purane students hai. ID card bhi hai, UDay even got his old ID card :), Guard being so kind allowed us to go and yes my wish of seeing an AUDI movie was finally fullfilled.
Mast majja aaya. Students were enjoying the movie, there was ho hullah/roar all around if some roll was missing or it began moving back, Most moments were of complete silence, junta was deeply engrossed in movie. There were times where you can hear the claps, appreciating the dialogues. It was total fun. After half an hour we decided to move back.
IPC mein jaake mail check kiya, it was so good, remembered those virtual telnet prithvi terminals we used to log in. IPC waisa hi hai, same old computers still :-( One student was doing his EG assignments there, remembered mine. Internet was damm slow, Mast download chal rahe the :D
ANC time - had food in ANC, i tried almost everything there. Dosa, pizza, cold drink, poori, sabji, daal. Yes now, you can get a full course in ANC. They now have ID tracking system which automatically gets billed to your Mess account. No need for CASH. Parents ko aur larke ullu banate hoge, KK wala funda ab nahi chalega, supritendend ke room pe laga do bill, dopy ke snaps xyz room pe bhej do, ha ha ha, KK you rock baba... Sacchi. Then we went to cannaught to have MNB, yep the Mid Night Beauty. Mast majja aya. Wanted to sip the express Coffee and the Gajar Ka Halwa, sadly it was not Winter :-(
Papers correct karna tha. 1:30 PM ho gaya paper check karte karte, back to Sleep :-)
--Next day--
I decided to quickly get darshan of Saraswati temple and then came back. It felt like peace all around with whistles of temple blowing around. Back to vfast hostel quickly and started the interview bandwagon.we were done with interviews till 3 and till now we did not hire a single guy, then began the hunt for finding smart guys by asking students around. This networking made us find 3 smart guys which we finally hired. I can see some really bright students.
Later we took all the 3 hires to cannaught for dinner, kaafi baatein ki campus ke baarein mein. why redis got closed and when will they start back. I again had MNB but this time the newly added chocolater * [ bhul gaya naam :D]. Sat on those small fences lost into one of our hangouts.
It was good to see CHOMES contesting for the post of PRESIDENT. SAC appeared good, but did not notice many students flocking there. ANC still rocks and is the late night hanging spot. Insti building was freshly painted and looked quite fabulous in the sunny sky. FD1, FD2, FD3, library, QT, room 2308, 2303. So nostalgic. Morning time next day and all pigeons around. the dream was over. I had to leave back my campus, back to Delhi, to catch a return flight to bangalore.
Alwida my alma mater, will come back soon.
