and that led me to Indore...



It was the time to walk past the school thing…
      Oh God I had waited so long for it, I couldn’t recover from the losing streak in my life. All these years in a small district in Jharkhand called Giridih, I lived a very intellectual life as all my family members worshipped education no less than God. Except for me, I found other wastages of time beautiful… like day dreaming, Internet, etc etc etc… I never considered myself an idiot, well the credit goes to my school as it was one of those “rich profile school” you hardly see in the state of  Bihar and Jharkhand, So the matter of fact is I am out of the school thing and luckily both my 10th  and 12th  mark sheet shows first division on it. In CBSE Board you don’t really categorize your score in divisions, but in my case its fine to let this stone be unturned.
      My friend Rahul invited me as his roommate in Indore, and I on his words appeared in the MP-PET Paper. I scored a mere 69.12 out of 200 in PET. A few months later, my life’s first counselling letter knocked on my door, I was excited enough so without giving any 2nd thought, I started the preparations for the 13th day of september,2008, that was the day my counselling was scheduled at SGSITS, Indore, perhaps the finest engineering college of Central India. But apart from that, I had 16 colleges in Delhi University which offered different courses and a B.FD course in Amity University on its half way through waiting for me. But the engineering option was only one, so that was it, ignoring all other choices I headed for Indore.

Ragging: Govt Colleges vs Private Colleges

I was shifting from the School level to a collegiate one... my brother graduated from the most talked about college of this country and the college who owns the Star Performer of all the companies who hires engineer, that is Indian Institute of Technology, so disbelieving him was as stupid an idea as me myself.

Anyways,
In IITs, ragging is as hazardous as malaria, once you messed it, you will be in deep shit for a long long time, my brother narrated me a dozen stories about ragging in IIT and I used to have the fear of ragging since school.
Keeping that in mind, I played it very safe since my first day, and as a result of that, i became a dumb, speechless, tongue-tied, incoherent junior who only looked down due to fear of seniors, but I forgot that its no IIT, it is just a mediocre engineering college and your seniors are no star performers or entrance crackers, they are seniors only because they have born a year before than you did, 
I obeyed all the shittiest rule made by my seniors, only after watching the patterns for 6 months in this college, I find out that how exactly I should frame myself in this institutions, actually saying frame is inappropriate, in private college, one should be natural and fearless, seniors hardly have guts or authority to create problems for you neither they are going to help you with your degree. 

Our juniors learned it very earlier and the super juniors came with that natural and fearless essence.

we were the last Ragged batch of my college, I guess I believe.
