I am a student of engineering at BITS, Pilani which is a wonderful institute. It’s a general rule there that holidays are never to be utilized for creative purposes….atleast for non-ghotus (the less studious!). Hols are for total freakout. Freakout may contain things as diverse as pulling the leg of sideys (ones having rooms beside u), chatting about the latest bombshell on or off-campus, watching latest episodes of sitcoms with relish or having “sams” or “jamuns” at redi (food-stall). With such all round personalities, you are definitely prepared for the harsh difficulties you are going to face in ur life!
It’s a strange feeling when you realise u r not going to return back to the insti after the hols are over. The first month of the semester at BITS is absolutely bombastic. With a minimum of tutes, no tests & no practical exams, u live in heaven for a month for all practical purposes. Then again the “no compulsary attendance” rule is quite attractive to many & our future engineers make full use of it. Yet the profs manage to extract vengeance in their own way which is best left unsaid!
The feeling of nostalgia has definitely set in. You cannot explain it. Its in ur veins. If u were asked what two plus two is, u wud say four and yet if asked to explain, u cannot even though u r quite sure of the fact. While pursuing internship in Pune, away from my alma mater, I look forward to returning back for one final semester & take in as much of the place called BITS-Pilani, as I could. Who knows whether in future, I would be fortunate enough to refresh the four years of wonderful existence at BITS by visiting it…??
