Post Minor 2 Life at IITD (A Month before Majors)

Hi everybody.......

This is my first post on my first ever blog. So wish me luck!!!!!!

Just after I came back from my mid semester breaks (I was at home to celebrate holi with my parents), back to IIT, I noticed a great change. Everyone was busy in planning his or her own future. Some desperate for internal or external hostel posts and some for their interns or exchange programs. Its time for "poltu" or politics in many of the hostels. I am really happy & proud to be a part of hostel in which no kind of "poltu" exists. You can see people frustrated with poltu in IIT at this point of time. Everyone trying to secure his or her own position in this system. People worried for their summers, everyone has the same concern "What will we do?". No one wants to be left behind in the race. This poltu stuff has such impact that some really very deserving candidates just get aside from the way (to a post) even if they want it, to keep out of "poltu". But some people try to take advantage of everything they can, just to get posts and powers. This is a really busy & bad time for all...

All students, even me and my friends all are making fight for a suitable Internship for summers. Some of the students are busy in preparing and giving interviews for a Foreign Exchange Program. It is this time when the freshers are given responsibilities and posts in hostel for first time. Its a time where comes the House Days and each & every hostel's residents invite faculty members and their friends to their hostel, so that they can show their friends and teachers what all they have achieved the entire year... Great na!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Farewell party is arranged in all hostels for their residents, who will be leaving the hostel this year. Every year some students who complete their studies finally leave to go to some other place & start working. They leave their friends behind who keep on remembering them. So this is a phase of time when every possible kind of emotion sprouts up in our hearts. On the other hand, outside IIT, a fresh new batch is ready to give JEE. Some of them will soon join us. Every year its the same, some students leave IIT and some arrive. Those who leave, have new hopes & new desires for their lives ahead at their workplaces and those who come, have completely different kind of excitement & journey infront of them . Some are at the end of their joyful journey at IIT and some are afresh to start it. Wow!!! what a great diversity in lives at the same time.
