Why I Love NitC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NiTC has not just been a college for me. It has been everything for me. Over the last three years i have learned a lot of things, earned a lot of friends, learned what is to be in a society, and most importantly how any thing happens in this world.

The funny part is i have never lived the life in a way to survive my life, the important fact about it is i understood the way i follow now is not very effective in this money oriented world, but i know the exact way. Thats my style, even if i know the right way is not this, i go by the way my mind wanna go. Thats more like it. 

After all what will this lead to, but if i were to go the best way i would never be me. I will have to forget a lot of friendship for the sake of others, it won't happen. May be thats why i aint very popular among my friends. May be i dont attach myself to them too much. Not because i don't want to but i expect a lot from friends in return. May be i shouldn't expect too much. But i never change you know. There is always 1 thing i don't want them to give more commitment than what i give them. But still i expect a lot of commitment in the general world sense. So i feel alien to this world

I have a few friends who care about me as much as i want to. They are always my best friends irrespective of what they are. I don't care somebody loves me as a friend just to use me as a weapon or a slave. The only thing i worry about is whether he/she loves me or not. Strange isn't it. still just wanna remind you of what i told earlier, i know its the wrong path to go. But I'm what i'm or else you wouldn't find me writing this. 

I am so much deviating out of the topic. My love for NiTC is my relationship with the people out here. There are a lot of people in this campus not just the 7 year span of students who are my friends who have shared college with me during my course, my acquaintances(to be exact the people who recognise me)  include a lot of people who are related to this campus like a lot of non-teaching and teaching staff.

Another thing i like about this college is its location, Though in a beautiful place in kerala. When it comes to holidays and all you never feel it is in kerala, sometimes not even in India( the recent incident just made that thoughts stronger, Our college had Milad-i-sherif holiday on 10th when kerala had it on 9th, Then the college shifted the holiday so as to match with its Kerala government counterpart, The next day Kerala govt changed holiday just as if they were waiting for us to change ;) ) .We would say that our college is like an island in arabian sea. Neither part of India nor Kerala, but related most to it. 

I am so sad to leave this college in two months. Its the only reason i'm thinking should apply for an M.Tech here and be here two years more. But then everybody advises me never ever do that its not good. may be my degrees value can be destroyed. The fact that makes me understand it is the standard of the people i see as M.Techs here, who are mostly gulti guys coming here for M.Tech after a B.tech from some college out there in AP, just because in AP if the groom is an M.Tech you'll get double the dowry offered for a B.Tech. Not to mention the value of an NiT degree.

The College is also changing a lot. The cute aspects of college that existed before does not exist now. All the good aspects are going away. Then the once beautiful campus is becoming a set of buildings. So i also decided not to come back here. So This is most probably the last three months of my love. After that we may meet once in a while, just to cherish old times. The only thing i am worried about is about the status of my love when i return to college, due to many reasons. If they are building up like this, The campus will be ruined soon. I hear even for B.Tech the native state quota is going to be removed. Then it will just be a Gulti-raj out here and the college will be somewhere in Bay of Bengal near AP  rather than Arabian sea out here.

Pinne i sit again counting my days to the end of this college life. There are only a few days left. I think i should seriously think about enjoying those days to the maximum. Anyway i'll just stop it now. I had written down too much already....

NiTC: the RAGAM way

Anyone of you who is unfamiliar with NiTC mght just think whats so different about RAGAM.. Ask any NiTC student who has seen a RAGAM.

Yes, RAGAM is not just a cultural festival of NiTC. Its all about NiTC culture and spirit of working among us. Its a feeling and a spirit. To get what effort each student puts into RAGAM is, You shoul d see the deserted Rajpath on the day next to RAGAM and see the difference from the previous day.

Except for a few ppl who is busy removing the stall setups that would be perfectly deserted. The look in the face of the people is enough to give you the feel of the amount of work done those people. Except for the few working here, Most of the students will be lying tired in their beds not even able to wake up, due to the hectic work they have put in.

The Sunday after RAGAM is a day nobody in this college will bother to remember because most of the tme they will be peacefully sleeping and the remaining time we'll be sad that RAGAM is over, now we have to wait for almost an year to get this feeling once again!.

RAGAM Is not just about the three days, but it is about the hectic work over two-three months resulting in a great three days. Its a lifestyle of NiTC. I would tell, even if you study in NiTC for 4 long years and just go home for the RAGAM days, you have never known what NiTC is like. Hosting a festival for your friends and seeing them enjoy your effort to make them happy is a great feeling which you'll cherish forever in life. So RAGAM is the real spirit of NiTC.

RAGAM is not just a inter-college competition, its also a way to teach the budding engineers of NiTC how to organize a large scale event. The traning got from organising a lot of small club events is put together under the guidance of experenced seniors to create a mega event called RAGAM.

Another set of RAGAM days are coming.. and i'm just sad because this is the fourth RAGAM of my NiTC life... Probably and hopefully the last in my NiTC life... See ya after that

NiTC and Me

There are only a few reasons why i joined NiTC... The main reason was that i fell in love with beautiful lush green campus and the clean hostel which we where allowed to stay during the counselling day since there was a bus strike or so that day(Those Days the campus was much green and beautiful than now).

One another reason was that one thing the people there said canvassing for the campus. There's no ragging here (then it wasn't that problem, still the controversial problems were so scary). The ignorance of ragging and the fear of those days that once in college, you'll be made to suffer terribly by seniors and will be too much was one of the reasons i never wanted to go to college.

Then when i asked one of my parents friend who was a teacher at CET whether to take Mechanical at CET or Production here.. Then he said. Don't take anything in CET except if you get Electronics. So didn't even go for Kerala counselling seriously because having studied electronics for 2 years in THSE, i never wanted to go for another try on Advanced part of that. Its the only decision i repent. i never understood while studying again it would be so easy.

But i dont repent why i joined NiTC. I would never have got a lot of good friends spanning through 7 years of NiTC Alumni. Neither would i have learned the social life. If i had a passion for electronics. I just would have ended up in a college near my house as a bookworm and studying hard not knowing the outside world or how to pull off something.

I simply love this college now. it has taught me a lot. Now when i am about to leave this college and i look back through the past, the only thing i repent is i didn't ever study a word of academic stuff alone ever.Every coin has two sides.One truth i know is the things i studied sacrificing a lot of time and other valuables is too good, though nobody will understand the true value of that, i know it. Its more than enough for me.
