Freshers at NIT-Surat (the odd sem)

hi there i m back!!!this time i wud like to go back to my first year at NIT-Surat.The best part of our college is our magnificient gate.Believe me i was actually amazed to pass by,thought that if college entrance is so good the college basic infra must be amazing but was shocked to pass by those dilapitated structure!!It took me abt a month or so to realize that college is not all abt buildings or so ,it is actually the students the ppl out there which make a college good or bad!!Right now i dont have any complaints against it!!!THanks to my seniors who made me realise what exactly u must look at the college!!I will talk abt the experience which made me think like that!!
Sailing through the august of 2003 we were accomodated in staff quarters of our college(NIT-Surat) ,it seemed to us as if the building was locked off for years and we were supposed to live over there for a year or so,the hostel office had told us that we will be shifted to the newly built hostel soon after the completion of it..We knew that was just to console our anxious parents!!! ANyways the first few days were horrible used to juggle for bathroom irregular water timings........Finally the best part of all that was the peacocks and peahens which always used to roam around our block,and the girls hostel tooooo...So started our college with all the doldrums internals were fast approaching ever1 of us started slogging like anything,,always used to aim at getting centpercent over the years this has died out for sure..thats the fact.Anyways college progressed our ragging was carried out so the transition began from nerds(childish behaviour) to mature ppl.. getting intro's of gals ,facing an embarrsing situation taught us a lot!!!i still remember our batchmates in staff qaurters used to sit in a room and discuss abt the ragging what kind of deed we ppl did ,talking abt the gals and fundoo seniors and their achievements..so went on our semester!!!
Talking abt the ragging the topmost priority was to know things abt our ppl ,we were supposed to keep every info of our asso mates at our finger tips that was a mamoth task indeed!!! NDTV what does it stand for?who is the present CMD of BSNL?how many runs did sachin score in the last match ?who is the highest scorer from indian side?what does epl stand for?what abt the literary personalities from karnataka?what is the best thing from ur city?...the list is long these were the things nikhil harsha sriram raghu putti HITESH bharath...all of the KSA seniors in that case always used to ask..it was then i had realised how imp these things are !!!never ever in the past i had bothered abt these!!If i m anything today thanks to these ppl!! there are so many other seniors too pls dont mind if i havent mentioned ur name here u will always be remembered by me!!there are loads of things i can talk at length abt it!!as of now i will try to cut it short!!
Now on the teachers part one person who has left evrlasting impression on my mind is Prof B.B.Mistry the engineering mechanics proff always used to bring a new book to our class and used to tell us something good abt it!!He had an innovative and amazing method of teaching,used to wait for his class like anything!!He always used to address as student members !!i still remember the first internal exam papers were being distributed and he was individual feedback and i had manged to get 10/10 that is one of the most cherished moment of my life at NIT-Surat.Well then we had a usual mix of some great and some not so good lecturers,the prob being with their teaching style!!anyways that was till the freshers party kashish 03!!we bunked abt 2 weeks and got the whole month !!!we got thrashed so badly for that by our seniors for making such a silly decisionand manged to bunk the kashish too and got a whole month vacations!!
