My First Ever Blog

/*Well this is my first ever blog, so please bear with any protocol/syntax/vocabulary errors*/

I am a student of Swami Vivekananda Institute of Science & Technology, fifth sem Computer Science and Engineering. The college is still under construction(just two years old), but whatever we got,its quite ok. It is actually adjacent to SRIST(Shree Ramkrishna Institute of Science and Technology,a Polytechnic College of swami vivekananda group), so we share the sports facilities with them. The college is around 7km from garia and 5 km from baruipur , actually in Rural Kolkata. It takes around half an hour for me to reach there(and around 2hours for guys staying in places far away from garia and baruipur). We pass across huge agricultural lands, a few ponds and a canale; the view is quite scenic; but that doesn't really compensate for the time loss. The college provides bus facility for the hostelites only (as the hostel is far away from the college) , which is average, nothing special about the buses,just have some fun while traveling with friends.
We have teachers from many colleges in Kolkata. JU, BIT,BESU, FIEM are the colleges from which teachers have joined the college( don't know about other colleges). Our Principal was actually the former HOD of mechanical dept. of FIEM, so he brings in a lotta experience and managerial capabilities. The teachers are also very co-operative, ever-ready to help. There are some teachers who stand out for us and has got tremendous knowledge; knows quite a lot about everything. The best part is that they encourages us to ask doubts and helps us at their best to clear those doubts .Its great fun for us in their class. Well, we do have the irritating ones, since this is a public forum wouldn't risk my neck to make fun of'em.
As for the crowd, trust me except for the so called name Swami Vivekananda has for chics, there is nothing here. Its an absolute desert; you find mirages here and there; but you soon realize the gal is already going around with an extra protective excessively testosterone infused guy, who actually looks like a grizzly bear. You stop to wonder what is wrong with the gal. The guys here behave like complete weirdos; scratching themselves in all the wrong places, making sounds uncharacteristic to Human Beings, drooling like desperadoes at couples,.....there are just too many to write. There is this couple that stands out, /*the names won't obviously be revealed, since I am always a politically correct person*/,whose life is like a perpetual B-grade Hindi Flick; these two people are no great stars, but still the 'Chemistry' is spot on. It provides for one of the greatest time pass for students to make fun of them. People from various parts of the country have come here, so it gives us a great understanding of the other parts of India.
We have had a good record in the university exams, according to one of the teachers. This particular statement can be debated as I always feel drowsy the moment a teacher enters the class( mainly out of the good habit I gained from studying at a sad school called IMHS, not that the teachers are hopeless).
But there do seem to be a bright bunch of kids around.
The weird thing is that our college too doesn't have a mirror, so you should check out all the self-esteem 'deprived lot' of guys fidgeting over there hair, shirt, trousers and everything else in the heavily tinted glass windows of the classrooms. The labs are not very well equipped, but the instruments are brand new , and are well maintained. The library is resourceful, though the list is not exhaustive, its still decent. Internet is available, but highly restricted,have to take permission to use it, strictly no Orkut, facebook etc. The classrooms are spacious and fully air conditioned. The architect seems to have left copious amount of space between classrooms. Its actually quite opposite to the other campus. The main disadvantage here is that you can't bunk. You are bloody 6 or 7 kms from any kind of habitat. So if you bunk you gotta wait for a auto or state bus to take you back home; and by that time you reach outskirts of the city you regret it big time, trust me attending classes is a better option. And the other disadvantage is if you are caught, they will rip your balls apart. As of now few boys and girls are under suspension for bunking, and being foolish enough to be caught.
There is also a college hostel, which are actually residencial buildings, took on rent by the SVIST authority. This is the place to be, the real hip guys are from hostel, know almost everything about the college and give great entertainment(though i am also staying at hostel...ha ha ha..). We have a canteen in our collage. The food is of avarage quality actually, and the lunch tiffin is free for the hostelite( don't really know how they manages the economics of this one).
I still think the college has a long way to go before being judged as anything, coz the first batch of students is yet to pass out and the campus has to be completely built. Actually its quite an enjoyable day one spends in the college.
