Exams at NITW is a 6 day long twice a semester affair. Affair would be an understatement. Rather, it’s a celebration. A celebration of sleepless nights, body odour, bits of paper, coffee and some studies.
Bringing before you a not to be missed vivid picture of life@nitw. With all its different hues.
Beating calligraphy experts the world over. Students at NITW flourish in the art of scribbling down important details from the text book in small bits of papers. These bits referred to as chits can be carried inside the examination hall as long as you are sure you won’t get caught. Engraving (read it as art of writing on the desk) and tattooing (the act of jotting down answers on one’s body) are other artistic skills that students here possess. Farsightedness is another innate quality to be seen in the “cream of the society”. For the ignorant soul, farsightedness is the ability to see ahead especially the paper of the person sitting ahead of you.
Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board suffers heavy loss this one week. Considering the number of fans and lights that continue to work all night, thanks to a phenomenon called NITEOUTS. Niteouts can be defined as the physical process of staying awake all night. The ideal niteout is the condition of staying awake to study, errors due to distraction being nil. However practical realization of the concept shows people doing more of eating, dozing with books open and lights switched on, consuming liters of coffee and once in a while taking time off their TP( Time Pass) sessions to do some studying. The study of this process brings to light a major problem faced by the country today, hunger. The male species at NITW have a reliable solution to this problem, the night cafeteria. Not being so lucky, certain members of the opposite sex cursed to live in dungeons called the ladies hostel [LH] can be seen foraging for food. (Thank Heavens, I have juniors in the LH.) Juniors are younger members of the female species who readily sacrifice their food for their seniors during ragging period.
Entrepreneur, here is thy much wanted break. Business in the campus flourishes this one week. The canteen saaru in the LH, the night cafeteria and one Mr. Srinu of Srinu point does brisk business. These blessed souls do a good amount of social service providing guys@NITW with round the clock supply of cigarettes, coffee, tea and other edibles. The LH saaru does his share too by selling a large amount of lays, Kurkure, Nissin cup noodles and other “very unhealthy stuff”( to quote my mom and the latest issue of her health magazine). By the way, Saaru is the formal term of addressing the mess workers, shop keepers, auto drivers and other members of the work force, used by the students of NITW. The origins of the word can be traced back to the English word sir.
The unshaved, unkempt look is in. stinking pigs( pardon my language) who eat, sleep write exams and do everything else the entire week in the same pair of clothes frequent the college. Thank heavens, they invented the deodorant. But then what do I say about certain male friends of mine who would rather consume the 1.5 % of alcohol then let it go wasted as a chemical component in the deodorant. Hard core feminists can take pride. Women are no where behind. I quote a certain member of the female species at NITW, “ so much to learn for mechanics yaar, I dint take a bath for the past 4 days. don’t tell anyone I went for today’s exam without brushing my teeth.” For further details contact info@POKEMOiNose.com because diplomacy prevents me from naming the heroine. ( remember diplomacy is the new word for “ the act of loving one’s own life”.)
God gets real busy this one week with a long train of requisition forms to be processed, demands to be met, MoUs to be signed, deals to be finalized and bargains to be attended to. Guess he takes niteouts too, else how does he bless the suddenly devout crowd. He sure can’t ignore people like me who all of sudden pray not just the mandatory five times but also agrees to do an extra namaz for a better grade in fluid mechanics. Neither can He can turn a blind eye towards those “god fearing” friends of mine who play devotional music on their cd players or do online poojas. Poor Guy, people asking for 10 pointers when He has to slog hard to get me to work for an “all-pass” result.
Definitely the funny week, life at nitw suddenly has all elements of a family drama. Action, emotion,drama, glamour it has it all. Kyunki mera bhi exams kabhi chalta hai. Would beat Ekta Kapoor at The Indian Telly Awards.
