Life at NIT Calicut..

Three years of technical education and its time to look back and think how life at NIT Calicut, deemed as one of the most prestigious technical institutes of the country, has been.

College life is never like school life and in my opinion, it should never be and we should never want it to be. Well its college after all.. NIT Calicut is one of the best places to be, the BEST!! For one thing its not a bunch of techies who pass out of it, neither a bunch of hooligans, but a group of individuals who have developed in a lot of spheres. They are the people who totally understand what a community life(well most people) and who learn that to survive you will have to co-exist.

I started out at NIT Calicut, pretty well, for me there was no problem in staying in a hostel, cos i had been living in hostels for some time then. Guess, i might have one of those lucky few, who had a chance of coming all alone to the hostel, yup, just me and my suitcase(a large one though, still have it tucked beneath my bed). Friends from school and coaching centers turned up pretty soon. We soon were a well organized gang within the first year hostel, in a very short span. Known as the 3rd Rates, we were quick to organise and were well known by the seniors too, that did us a lot of good, as a year. I guess the only thing that brought the year together, and made our first year so memorable was the simple lack of other entertainment means within the first year hostel. We were imprisoned within the hostel for one complete semester and part of the next. There were couple of delights within the prison, like the one time when we celebrated someone's birthday with washing everyone with water, diwali was also very memorable.. though I did end up getting a memo.. in short it was absolute unadulterated fun!!!even the motta season was fun, we did get ragged by our seniors, but I wonder what the next few years would have been without it all..Ragging as done by the mallus in NITC is a must, else you will end up losing the greatest fun in college life!!

A year passed rather fast, soon, we were junior execs in various clubs and all.. all very busy people..2nd year in B hostel was also rather an enjoyment, the xmas tree, xmas celebrations. evrything.. oh! the elections were really very nice!! man..sweet memories!! then couple of my dear friends did crash their bike on lamp post injuring their legs but one of them did end up with a nurse from the hospital...

think i'll write on 3rd year separately..

hmmn.. NITC rocks!!! the hostels are the place to be!! the wealth of loving and caring friends you get can never be matched!!
