One month on being a brahmachari in technology

Its been one month since I began my college life at SNGCE and just like tenth graders were excited about plus two , so were us : new era idealess freshers !
The first day , began with a little fun by seniors. Ofcourse , it has to be so ,right ?
If to talk about my class ,50%+ are from far off places as compared to other classes.
The common backbencher praising stuffs are some bullcraps . Sit in second last bench , that's more preferable. It has valid reasons too.
As the Bible says , no door will be opened unless you knock it , the first thing to make the door get opened is to find the door. Ofcourse , it's like that. You need to reach there. It's a long way there.
But when the classes has begun and reached full fledge , things were found to be entirely different .
First thing I understood was :
Though some parts of syllabus are damn boring , all you've got to do and could do is to mug up the entire thing or the university is gonna screw you from all possible sides. I was looking for some technical books for my first year common electrical syllabus and I got to realise some facts:
The present day electrical engineering syllabus is the same thing that my dad studied 30 years before .Thank god my grandfather never did a BTech , in that case I might had to compare that.
Nandan Nilakeni in a TED X talk why only a small percentage of passed out graduates from Indian universities are instantly employed. Now I understood a part of that.
Even though people want to do engineering , many of them are addicted to common 'system'eering non-senses ; people still want that degree from an aided college . Screw the traditionalists , university released BTech results recently and I found that Tyre toppers were from private colleges. Many government engineering colleges are in pity conditions , when you look at their infrastructure .I accept the degree from such colleges are having a higher brand value , but the attitude of some people towards private colleges can't be tolerated. Some were still trying to get hibernated from here.
'Girls' are that organisms that are excessively present in all branches except mechanical engineering and in a small amount in naval architecture.
(Pardon me girls, for refering you as organisms , we too are.)
All institutions will have that bunch of guys/girls who won't do the things or won't let others to get the stuff happened.Ofcourse ,here too there is a gang. Internals are something precious to be guarded for ,I found a guy near the drawing class who was supposed to pass out in 2009 , but couldn't afford to get a paper cleared as he lacked internal marks even though he passes university exam . Now he is working for the internals . Buses are the place to get some sleep ,I never used to go by school bus during school days , when I grew up ,I've got to go by college bus.On the very fine day when I was on the uniform for the first time ,Mr. Collector declared a one week holiday .Teachers were someone ferocious only during school days , here these posts are actually filled up by nice people.
Some people will seem to be looking highly cunning, intelligent and being one among the brightest minds of the country, unless they open their mouth and solve all our doubts .This place had a lot of them.
