A tale of 4 years at NIT-W...


Lite hai...

I was an innocent kid when I joined this college and now I see myself as a completely transformed person. The unforgettable experiences I had here can never be portrayed in words, but only can be felt. The late night jaagna, ‘the hot steamy chai and sutta combo’ at cafti, the protracted and quickly passing night outs, then the breakfast with the first light at kazipet when the world is slumbering and only few rooms in NIT Warangal are still boiling with light. Words can never make you feel what fun we had but yes at least I can take a crack at it. It’s about how one meets suddenly on sum arbitrary place and connects through a religion... called NIT-W...
Everyone amongst us can still draw a rough sketch of the way we crossed the gates of this prestigious institute, knowing nothing of the alien world inside. Heart was full of emotions as it was a dream that was getting converted into a beautiful reality. With each step we walked through the campus and each sound we heard, with each over burdened student we saw we felt as if we were them, at least in the near future. With the ‘hurly burly’ like a town and greenery like a jungle we felt as if “survival of the fittest” will be the motto here.
Scared of the seniors and ragging, even a single unfamiliar sound made us nervous. I still remember the first day I first woke up in the NIT Warangal campus bed, it was a completely different morning, over the top noise, people shouting like it’s a voting season, the long queue at the washbasin and an everlasting line at the bathroom door, I felt like I was a lost child in a crowd of many like me. The transformation from a relaxing bed to a steel, rock solid oven grill, with the mother’s soft voice slowly waking you up to a completely harsh sound of a noisy alarm trying to kill you, if you don’t wake up was hard to accept. Everything was out of place and the world here looked cruel. The first class was boring and as usual the ritual of names and introduction was a session where time came to a standstill. Even a dying snail would have moved faster than a clock’s hour hand was the conclusion I made. I guess Einstein’s genius was being experienced that day when the theory of relativity was being explained in the class and I was gazing out through the window and saw a beautiful girl playing with a puppy. I don’t know whether I wanted the time to last forever or not. May be she was my senior or a batch-mate but who cared what she was. All I know that her striking presence was more appealing than a coarse voiced professor giving me an unnecessary lecture.
Time sailed and we got accustomed to the environment. We made friends, we were easy chairs half of the times and we ‘counted’ in the rest. Exams came & went and time slowly but surely passed by. Here we were on the verge of completing our first year, from being a nothing 0/4 to something 1/4 to a more promising and real 2/4. It felt good like I got a medallion from somewhere and I wanted to flaunt it, screaming loud and clear from the ‘paani ki tanki’ near our hostel.
Second year came and we got introduced to our respective branch. We were now officially a part of the department. Getting together for fest preparations, for MOTOHOLICS, meetings, was a latest change we acknowledged quickly. The CANTEEN, the CAFTI, the NESCAFE, the AMUL, and the one and only SRINU POINT who were alien to us till now made our lives lighter and stomach’s heavier. A cool ADLABS to a dusty WORKSHOP, we did it all. The world for us was here and nowhere else, with LND doing cool stuff, with the DND setting stage on fire, with the MUSIC CLUB rocking nights. Who can forget those AUDI fights, where our rods were waiting to hit a head but then we telling ourselves...array samne wale bhi to bhai hi hain!!. Jo log first year mein yahan bhidte hain wohi final year ane tak sabse ache dost ban jate hain. Jadu ki nagri hai ye apna NIT-W.
  
Time crawled in classes and sailed in the hot musty and smoke filled cafti, soaking up every tension. We knew every corner of the town now, every little restaurant and bar, every single pan shop to even smallest of the so called ‘grass sellers’ near Warangal or dargah. Who can forget the epic India vs. Pakistan final of the T20 World Cup? Every voice echoes in our ears till this very moment. Those 3 days and 2 nights Technozion’s to the Spring-spree’s we had the whole campus alive. It was like a rebirth to the dying spirits, where every student rose from the ashes and gave his very best.
Years passed and finally we landed in the most prestigious of all the years.”Final year” 4/4 B-tech sounded so trendy. It starts with painful GPL’S for the last time in college. Last time means more brutal and more technically advanced bums, use of various instruments varying according to the branch of each individual. MECHIE’S have hammers, pipes, etc, civil students bring rods, CSE students plan the whole procedure and ECE students get their LAN wires. After all everyone learnt something in 4 years of engineering and yeah we are applying it to a perfect place, that is at our sukhe pichwade. After all these pains we are just left with hilarious video’s which mostly can be seen on YouTube and Facebook and arrive as soon as the party gets over. Photos are censored, sometimes funny and most of the times they are full of memories that we will cherish throughout our lives.
Wo pal khushi ke jab kisika job lagta hai...jab ek aur banda tension ko lite kar deta hai...the feeling is awesome and i am not even trying to describe it here...words mein describe karne ki gustakhi nahi karna chahta main...fir bhi aadat se majboor jo hu...
Friends waiting outside TNP to hear your name, the moment after which you will also be like a hero, whose film has a first super hit tag. The supreme and the most awaited word will stick behind you too in NIT-W...which is ‘PLACED’. You don’t know what to say when you hear your name, you don’t remember anything, there is nothing else that matters then and there at that very moment, and you know that time, ‘ I am not a nobody now’. It was a journey from no one to someone, nobody to somebody and yeah you finally crossed the finishing line. Ghar phone karu? Mumma ko pehle bolu ya papa ko ya wait kar rahe doston ko bolu, sabko yahi Nescafe pe treat du ya rat mein party karein, baap re bums khane padenge...kya bahana karu ki na marein...yehi dimag soch raha hota hai us time...
Hum 3 sal yehi sochte rehte hain ki na jane kaunsi company mujhe legi...kahan main jaunga...kaisa lagta hai job ke bad...sochte hain job lagegi to ye karunga wo karunga and jab job lag jati hai samajh nahi ata kya karein...aakhir mein kuch mayus chehre hote hain to kuch khush...par bhaiya aal izz well bolo aur lage raho munna bhai...tabhi to munna bhai ek din America jaenge...!!
We have done the most outrageous things in life here and are proud of that. Including one thing which can give you immense glory... getting into LH. The ladies hostel is the most fearsome battle grounds in NIT-W. Valiant men trying to enter the fortified area and fail again and again and again, but one day they prevail and get to see the sunshine. A lucky few succeed with the help from inside and some never succeed at all. It has been and will remain one of the most happening things in NIT-W campus life.
From beautiful parties to the hard, rugged sentimental moments, we have seen it all. From an ecstatic smile of satisfaction after we get a job to the most painful moments of a friend weeping over your shoulder over a problem he is facing. Yes ‘we have seen it all’. This journey of 4 years has prepared us for any obstacle in life. It has definitely prepared us for our wonderful journey called life. We can face the world now, thanks to this small training camp called NIT-Warangal.
Now is the time to say whatever you want to say to your friends. Time is going by too fast and later we may not get the chance or the things you want to say may lose their importance with time. We come here, spend some time here and go away as an improved person. We take up loads of things from this college, use it for a period of 4 years and it’s our responsibility to return those same things back. Like us many will come here and many will go, but everyone amongst us has left an impression here, which can’t be wiped out. A scratch on the desk, made by us, when the class went to its dullest moment, will always remind everyone that we were here. Everyone has one or two such marks here and there in this college. So at least for those one or two impressions of ours, let’s pledge that we will return back to this small planet of ours called NIT-W.
What we will leave here is an empty class, where once there was no room left during an interesting lecture, an empty room of ours where once life existed in all forms possible, an empty corridor where once our screams stuffed it up, an empty Nescafe where once we spilled our coffee, an empty SAC where once sweet sound of music filled up the air, an empty library where once we sat with our loved one. A dull Main Gate waiting for someone amongst his old friends to pass through it one more time like they once did. We may not be here but our soul will still wander aimlessly in these vacant corridors, these vacant lecture halls, these empty roads.
We will come again, we do promise it, and once again we will pass that main gate as we know we belong here. We are like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that fit together here and nowhere else to create a wonderful picture called LIFE.

Someone rightly said: - a known NIT-W devil is better than an unknown angel’...

Senti mat kha re...Lite Hai...
