What Ivy wants, Ivy gets

Never I had thought of going for trekking to such a weird place as I had been this weekend. Last thursday all almighty IITians were discussing of ging for a trip to somwhere where this 'somewhere' wasn't defined. Though we had a little inkling that we light go to this place but no one was sure. The following day everthing seemed to move so fast. Everyon came over 'Sametime' GE messenger and started discussing over the issue but not all were of the same opinion and hence took deliberations to come upon consensus.

If you ever thought that IITians are decent creatures then you have to reconsider your notion after what I am about to tell you.
Well I have always been different and have always tried to get the maximum enjoyment of every moment I have lived. So being in GE and working close with these workaholic guys and beautiful gals ( at least hazaar better than what are in IIT) can't stop me in my lust. People might call me crazy or weird but the whole essence of certain things in life to create magic which spell bounds anyone who comes near to it.
So let not befuddle you with my endless and hazy talk and get into the stuff I want to share with all you who have cared to read what I have to say. The day before I had to stay at my lodge with no light throughout the night and when I woke up in the morning I found that I am also bereaved of water to take bath; And my dear friend Bhindi whose stomach seems to have gulped the entire desert soil of Sahara or Kalahari had finished all the drinking water. It was the test of my patience and with a flash of a second my notorious brain started coming up with weird ideas!
I proposed to spend the next day at GE. Though virtually we are already doing so by staying there 9 to 9 but what I mean is by hooking there at night too; And here does the ball goes rolling. I got some followers who gave their unquestioned support and the next scene you could see in my room was all of us preparing to spend night at GE's common room.
Late at night, Sreejith backs out giving out the craziest of the ideas I have ever heard in my life: the mobile battery finished off! What the hell? Anyway his Hutch connection doesn't let him be reachable anytime. I tried 5 times and all the times it was busy. But i am like Kawasaki....the unshakable. Nothing deterred me from my decision and I carried on to execute my plans. Bhindi and me kept playing TT and pool till the time our balls ( I mean the pool balls, perverted mind!) started preferring to stay on the table than going into the nest or, putting it another way, we kept on playing till we lost the common sense that it is the white ball whith which we are supposed to hit other balls and not the otherwise.
Then starts the whole drama: 'Chawkidaar aur uske Bachche', by Robert Bansal and Bill Khandelwal. After finally getting exhausted by the activities of the day when we decided to sleep, the biggest discovery which we had was that the 5-star couches which I thought will be our nook for the night were a little small to accommodate us. To speak truth they were short for a teenager too. So we had to get coiled and mange. Bhindi preferred to lie on carpeted floor. There comes guard at night asking our extension number and warning us against any possible burglary of our wallets and cell phones if we keep it outside openly in on the table. Then comes the sweeper to chat with his girl friend on free phone. He gets pained to see us as intruders to his usual privacy. If we think that was all then were besieged by the mosquitoes who were on the spree to put night out by sucking our blood till the time that they realized that we all shared a common blood constitution!
Morning starts with a big bustling made by the house-keeping guys of whom I had only heard during orientation. But to my surprise nothing moved my sleeping nightmare, Bhindi to give a back seat to his sleep. In fact he was one of those culprits who was constantly bugging me at night. Every minute or the other he used to get up forcing me to feel as if some foreigner has barged into our nook. He completed his pleasant dreams and fantasies by 8 in the morning and gets up taking all his time at his disposal!
Though the night couldn't be called as one full of comfort but the experience is surely worth remembering. The countenances of it will always stay deep in my heart.

Once my magniloquent Heat Transfer prof in IIT told our class that the thing you hate most in your life and keep avoiding as much as possible are those things which will become most important in your life. These will be the things which will affect you the most and are going to get your career at your stake. He gave his own example of the subject he hated the most but was forced to make a career in it, At that time I took it very lightly and forgot it. Today while I am sitting in GE working on a project, I am recalling and using all those subjects which had always hated and had thought that I will never be using them. But see how fate plays a game. How true was my professor. I remember those moments... I cherish those thoughts... I regret why I took it lightly at that time... but I no longer feel bad about it now as i have learned from it a big lesson and have come out strong and bold!

After the hectic week of exam it seemed to me that soon good old pleasure days will follow. But to my surprise it is being followed by a long spell of unending activities. Immediately after the exam I got pre-occupied in some pending official campus activities. When it seemed that after 3 days of non-stop work there in IIT I will be enjoying my time in Bangalore during my intern, I was absolutely wrong. I didn't even had a slight notion of what was to come.
My intern started with great expectations and hopes! The campus of John F. Welch Technology Centre, GE is majestic and when I saw it first, I honestly gave an awe. For the first time realized what is it being in a global company, I got my personal cabin, with a warm welcome (a bouquet and a balloon outside my cabin with 'Welcome' written on it. Smart cards everywhere, free coffees, teas, biscuits anytime, anywhere. It was all so enticing.
So there I was on my first day, equipped with the IIT ian spirit of masti everywhere, feeling sleepy in the afty etc, etc. But it was not long when I came to realization that I am expected to meet my buddy ( first friend in GE who was assigned to me to get comfortable to the campus). He gave me a thick book on a topic which is usually taught at M. Tech level. Another guy, who eventually is my benchmark (as he is damn smart at speaking and impressive too...), had a brief talk with me. I was searching for work as nothing was assigned to me. I kept bugging them to give me some work but they said that they are in the process of designing some big things for me and hence I need to wait till tomorrow. The day went comfortably. Next day arrives... I was asked by my buddy if I had finished the 400 page god level book he gave the other day. Holy shit! ( I thought how he expected to finish the entire book in one day and that too on the first day...) He somehow digested my reply ;)
Then came the the present of the second day. An assignment which took on my nerves for the next two days. In fact on the second day, hail to me, he even expanded it after hearing from me that it is easy. (Why IITians generally and unnecessarily put pseud yaar?) I got shit pained with that. Already I was getting a regular feedback from my friends here, those who are from my institute and other IIT, that GE people are ruthlessly torturing, considerably, if not to my levels. It was enough for me. I decided. What? I finished the whole thing in a single day. Did a 9 hr. non-stop job and mailed to my buddy. It took the freaks out of him and the pseud guy I was talking about. They appreciated my good start which was short lived as by the grace and all so good wishes of those in heaven I got another assignment sent by someone in Greenville, US to my buddy.
And here I am sitting on my computer, about to start on it. And you know what still I am happy. Don't say what's wrong with me! There is another side of the coin which a critic (presently me) hasn't described.... No attendance, no time compliance, no formalities, high funda work culture, helping attitude and things are more than enough to bind anyone here. You really feel motivated ( though not at least after having the grub ;) )
Never wanted to bug you people to read my long bakwaas but you know me :) I am different and that's why keep searching for different ways to pain people!
