iitians who we really are...

Iitians in India are a famous and respected breed. Wherever you go and tell people that you are in IIT or u are an iitian, there will surely be some moms and dads coming upto you asking some advice for their children. Common perception is that we are complete nerds who are really good at understanding things and studying hard. We are seen as descendants of goddess Saraswati (the goddess of knowledge). but little do the people know that beneath this aura of geekdom we are people with very rare and mostly unacceptable qualities.

let me tell the world what we really are. Every iitian has two sides to him, the one he maintains at home and with other non-iitian (no hard-feelings) friends and one tht he has in college. They say that things come into their best when they are in congenial surroundings. And iit campus is the best place for us to come into our own and live the real insane side of our life.
Every iitian loves pink-floyd coz it is the best music that has ever been played. We call it the psychedelic music and as the saying goes:

To fathom Hell or soar angelic,

just take a pinch of psychedelic.

But we being from the Satan side need a little more than that so its elixir of Satan (usually rum, vodka, whiskey, smoke n sometimes dope) combined with Pink Floyd that takes us higher. Almost all the discoveries (there aren't many to boast about) are made in this phase and this is the time that we actually do something other than watching movie, tv-soaps or playing games.

About the movies and tv-soaps thing, you will always find an iitian who has seen whtever movie u think off and who knows every episode of FRIENDS by heart. The gaming (SOF n AOE in my campus) is another religion here. Late nite gaming is just another chore that most of the iitians have to do. Its the only way to get you frustration out, u cant kill a prof, atleast kill another player who plays by your prof's name.

Even though what I am going to say is a well-kown national fact but for the records i have to repeat it. "Iitians are sex-starved." Yes it is as true as any other theorem in the world and is perhaps the easiest to prove. We people will approach anything which even remotely resembles the female side of human life. Even though we may maintain a high taste amongst ourselves but the truth is that we are always looking for a glimpse of some female counterpart. We might be the most eligible bachelor education wise, money-wise but beware of the wild side.

Lastly I may have degraded my fellow mates by my harsh comments so to even out things let me enlighten some good things about us. Yes we are workaholic but only when its a day or two before the deadline. We can work for 4 days in a row and yet show no signs of tiredness of sleep. And the very next day we can sit in an exam and still perform better than most people on earth. Yes we are geeks, but geeks who know how to study and how much to study and most importantly when to study. Yes we can work like an ass but only when it comes to organising cult-fest, rock-nites and tech-fest.

The most important thing is that we don't live our lives as the world wants us to do, we just live it the way we want to. We dont care if people idolize us our despise us, we don't care for any dams thing on earth coz thts the way we are.

IIT SUCKS but I LOVE it STILL.........
