Better Late Than Never !!!

3^rd June 2008 brought with it for NIT Jamshedpur a light of hope, pun totally intended. It takes a great deal of nerve to publicly admit that one’s insti sucks. And I make a clean breast almost unabashedly. Grubby politics has always been an innate characteristic of all the organizations and institutions in this part of the country. But inhumane conditions of living added insult to injury. And all this to the wannabe technocrats, nearly all of whom missed a berth at the hallowed Indian Institutes Of Technology by a whisker after clearing the screening stage. Some of us even committed the Great Blunder of turning our backs to the IITs due to unavailability of the desired disciplines owing to an AIR around 3k.

But now things are most likely to take a handsome twirl. Multiple strikes by the junior year students finally bore fruit. Kudos! Jamshedpur Utilities and Services Corporation (JUSCO) – the vocational training hub for our batch mates from the Department Of Civil Engineering – has been a godsend. We, The Deprived, have finally been blessed. What this coup de theatre means to us would never be appreciated by them who have never been left to languish to spend the most vital four years of their lives in the state plagued by this loopy power crisis. With the risk of lending my words a semblance of exaggeration, I would like to classify this development as the single best thing to have been happened to this institute.

I feel for you, our 2k4 seniors. You missed it by month, damn it! And equally do I feel for the 2k8 juniors, due to enter the campus in early August. You just can’t imagine the thrill of spending the whole dark night out, sitting on a bench bordering the Downs’ ground, gossiping like hell!!

Our next valid wish is that the administration looks into the Wi-Fi project that has inexplicably been dormant for the past few weeks. After a remarkable progress in the early days of the project, which aimed at connecting the length and breadth of the campus by a wireless network, the project receded into conspicuous obscurity.

Can’t wait to return to the hostels!!!

As per mid-June 2008 : hostel mein 24 hours wi-fi connectivity bhi aa gayi hai...yip yip yippieeeee...
