A bug's life



Its a month of October and tons of dead bugs are found in the morning exactly below the tube lights that burnt throughout the night. Interesting fact is , there is no sign of them in the morning. A friend of mine once joked that probably they fly towards the sun in the morning and come back to earth as the sun sets. (P.S. a typical IITian's brain you see :) )

Well, its campus placement season and everybody is busy becoming what the market want. The global turmoil in foreign banking is causing some hustle this time. So a bit of finger crossed situation around. Attending PPTs and taking particular note of that salary - slide. No goodies this time for attending PPTs but yet its quite interesting to see how companies lure us all like a bug is attracted by a light bulb.

What's more to say then , Let us see all of us either land up on a light bulb or the Sun.

Doctor of philosophy handling Admin jobs

[LOTD* ]: The plus in having a professor to do an administrative job is that you are questioned less... He is always too busy to do that. :P

Today I was at the training and placement section of the insti. I found out today at the (at least (12-1)th) hour that my name is incorrectly printed and I cannot change it , unless academic section had made the updates. The staff handling registration for tnp was so thrilled at me (or us in general , the 11th hour-specialists ) for being so late. They at least Pointed me towards the information cell where the tnp incharge was sitting . This guy was as cool (and as silent :P) as ice.

I told him my situation .... that was 15 seconds.
He was listening while doing some work and kept mum for a while .... that was around 10 seconds.
At last he asked "Roll Number kya hai ?" ... yes right 2 seconds hardly
I answered ....
Next question, "Naam?" .... 1.5 second would be an exagggeration :P
Last.... "OK"

I thanked him on my way out. But I dont think he would remember me next time cause he never looked at my face. Throughout the scene, I was just a record in the database to which he only was authorised. :D


P.S. LOTD* means Lesson Of The Day.

I used to miss out on bumps coz of vacations in S.G.G.S.
But this time ... celebration was with all the fun and dhoom dhadaka of bursting crackers.

I got the loudest applause amongst the b'days celebrated , as all my classmates tried hard to get attention of all ladies except gentlemen in veggie's* . And we did succeed .Thanks to all .
