Engineers Minus Electricity

Ok
So I made it into one of the best colleges in the country. Maybe I should be happy. I'm not.

If you are a complete moron, I will explain it in this way-

Science and engineering owns you.

It might be depressing to hear for you- if you're an arts or commerce student and have the audacity to think that you are smarter than anyone from science and engineering, you're delusional.

I'll give you a simple comparison.
St Stephens is the best arts college in the country.
The Delhi College of Engineering is ranked in the 10-15 range in the top engineering colleges of the country.

DCE > Stephens, unanimously, by account of basically everyone.
You guys are that far behind on the ladder.
I'm sorry. You guys work for 3 or 4 hours a day, we do closer to 15.

You've got to feel sorry for BITSians though, for all the shrewdness and ingenuity this place instills in you, you still can't land a chick.

Bits Pilani grads are forever doomed to watching Messrs Roorkee, Guwahati and Madras (All ranked below Bits Pil, to the idiots reading, Madras is now the worst IIT, congratulations Madras) EDIT: (All the colleges are awesome, I do not intend to offend sensibilities- on the off chance of that Er, yeah.) pick up girls in pubs by dropping the 'brand' (ugh). The same females would not even have heard of Bits.

I can understand how it would make sense to think that the fact that they haven't heard of this place would safely put them in the 'too ignorant to date' category. A more pragmatic approach would be to tell them that you're from IIT-Pilani. You get the girl and they'll never know the difference.

Seriously though (although I WAS being serious about the above point. Don't doubt it), this place is interesting. Everyone here has their tragic story about screwing up their IITJEE, which gets annoying, oh well.

"I was heartbroken."
"I panicked."
"I didn't study."

To which I reply-
"I was panicked, heartbroken AND I didn't study. Also I had a 101 degree fever in the days running into the exam. So FUCK you. My excuse is better."

The people here are pretty damn smart, you can't underestimate anyone. Its scary and awesome. Scary because intelligence breeds a peculiar form of insanity, more or less.

(I'm serious, there are people here who think they are incarnations of vampires, people who have deluded themselves into thinking they are on every sports team and have a CGPA of 10, people who eat live ants, people who talk to dogs, people who walk around singing at extremely high volumes, fat people who walk around half naked in the middle of the night and the morning, people who throw light-bulbs at people shitting in toilets for no known reason, people with machine fetishes, people who go batshit insane and think that other people are messing with their 'wavelengths', people that think they own every girl on the campus and depending on the severity, with some kind of death wish)


Luckily, I'm smart too. I won some freshers quiz when college started and was a celebrity for like, two days. (Which I missed, because I was in Delhi for those very two days)

There are rumours about me here too, out of a batch of a thousand students, people are spending their free time thinking about me. Man they must be bored. I remember the good old days when I didn't exist in a class of a hundred and twenty, fun times.

The gossip machinery here is so active, that rumours about me reach me.

Some of the nice things I've heard about myself-

- That I have a major attitude problem.
- I have rage issues.
- I'm a crybaby.
- I'm strange. (TOTALLY didn't see that one coming)
- I majorly dissed the department of sponsorship, telling them to 'get lost and stop bothering me'- thus making me both tragically stupid and badass.
- I'm Gay.
- I'm a Casanova.
- I'm a neat-freak (lulz)
- I'm a slob. (expected, do you see a pattern emerging?)
- I'm obsessed with the colour yellow.
- I'm a prude.
- I watch a lot of porn and masturbate a lot. (What else could I be doing late at night with my LIGHT ON? WRITING A BLOG? HAH. Nice try.)
- I study a lot.
- I don't study at all.

If only I could control this machine and add things like 'I'm super sexy' and 'I'm awesome in every way."

Alas.
That must wait.

In the meanwhile.

I'm not satisfied with my course, so I'm working on changing it.

Chemical Engineering is not bad, pollution control systems and heat engines and biochemical engineering are pretty interesting, but petroleum extraction = UGH.

I've been hollow for months now, and this is the only kind of drive that I have left, that comes from me.

Combinations I'm considering (realistically possible, with a bit of luck)-
Chemical + Mechanical Engineering
Chemical + Electronics Engineering
Chemical + Computer Science
Physics + EEE/E&I/CS
Economics + Mech/EEE/E&I/CS

The ultimate goal of course, would be-
Mechanical + Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
Totally badass, but almost impossible to get.

Recently, the early morning elec cuts ceased, and the weather improved. Thats nice. Life is a little bearable now.

This equation should explain that bit-

(Engineers - Electricity) = i
