First Day at IIT DELHI

Yet another young boy steps into this great institution with great things in mind… high expectations…both from himself as well as the institute…hardly does he know what’s in store... ;-P
IIT: Indian Institute of Technology…One of the most prestigious colleges in the country…People work day in & out just to get into it … thinking life will be relatively simple afterwards … hardly knowing what awaits them …
First day… sees a professor… with eyes full of excitement… ready to gain something …

Computers CSL 102 lecture class… 8:00 am
Prof ( Smart, young guy with a nice accent comes in) :Good Morning Class… My name is SP… I will be taking your comp science course CSL 102… We will be learning SML…Now, I have some important work today, so this class will be re-scheduled later… See u all on Monday.. Bye … take care… n god bless

Students...Cheerful… happy that first class is over so quickly … today will be a good day to have fun ! Collectively, all head to WIND T… the most popular place on IIT Delhi Campus… )

Chemistry CYL 110 lecture class… 9:30 am

Prof (very young...) : Good Morning class...
Students ( in unison) : Good Morning Sir
Prof : Ahhh... I am here to take your course CYL 110 ... Ahhh... Its about Physical Chemistry ... My name is SD and I, along with Ms. CC will be taking this course..She is your course coordinator...My room no. is MS 777, so if you have any doubts... please feel free me to come to my room.... hmmmm... or better still.... write a mail to sd@chem.iitd.ac.in and I will get back to you... Is it clear ??

Students (A bit surprised by the intro) : YES SIR

Prof: OK, now I think all of you know about the Boyle’s law… As you all have studied P is directly proportional to V

(Students whisper… A sudden chaos … All we studied … all the basics were wrong…IIT is great…Now we will get to know the actual thing…)

Prof ( puzzled due to the whispering, looks back at the board ): Oh… SORRY SORRY… See…Its my first lecture today… it is a silly mistake… its P is inversely proportional to V

Students ( trying to control their laughter…) : Its OK Sir… ;-P…We understand… Please Continue…

Prof ( Still nervous….managing a wry smile..) : So, today we will cover all these basic laws like Boyles, Charles and all …

Time 11:05 am

Students : Sir … Class is till 10:55 am… Can we please leave …

Prof ( In a little angry tone) : Don’t try to trick me coz its my first day here… It’s a 2 hour class.. I know THAT for sure ..

But as usual, he was wrong… the next professor came in and said … Sir, the slot is of one and a half hours only ;-) :-)

This we thought was a one-off incident … But we were so badly mistaken !!!
That’s how it went…Kind of funny… Soon this became all too normal…Students becoming inert to all these, once hilarous things... The great excitement in their eyes was soon about to be replaced by TENSION, FRUSTRATION, DEPRESSION, BOREDOM, DULLNESS etc etc :-(


Newaz.... More about that later :-)
