All that glitters is gold - Rahul Pillai
Something is wrong somewhere in the campus. Just take a look around. People are so frustrated. I hear so many of them crib. Reasons unknown. But causes, the same. Let me see if I can help you guys out.
Mobile phones have become such a big issue. Yes the Security Guard does get to lay his hands on your vital organs once in a while, but that’s all. Big deal guys. At least we are not told to strip outside the college early in the morning. Its sincerely such a big concession. How on this earth can we all miss out on such a bright side of things.
So what if you don’t have too many full time Profs? Just check out the quality of the ones that come to take our classes. They are oozing with knowledge so interesting; unbeatable teaching skills and you don’t even feel like falling asleep. Guess what, we still crib.
So what if classes are held for us even on Sundays? We hold all kinds of parties on almost all Saturday nights – Pre-Fresher’s, Fresher’s, Pre-Placement, Placement, Farewell and so on. Don’t you see how inductive it is to get bashed by late night to wake up early next morning to reach college on time?
So what if Orkut and YouTube are not accessible? Who needs them anyways? We can still use our college e-mail accounts!! We are not totally cut off from the rest of the world, guys!! There is still light at the end of the tunnel; only that the source of the light is a train coming from the other direction.
So what if 90% attendance has been made compulsory? Big deal!! All the classes that we have are just 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year for 2 years. Now that’s such an insignificant number. Burn-out bull shit!! Don’t you see, we are being trained for the Corporate world grill? The only question is, will we last that long??
Anyways, it makes no sense me telling all this!! How does it matter? You guys will still remain the same. Let’s appreciate all that we are blessed with. We are the chosen ones, am sure you will realize this one day. Till then, its God Bless You.
