FIRST SEM @ NITJ

The first sem seemed to be going rather pathetically owing to the ragging and a lot of pressure of studies on us ..( though it isn't really like that .. the only difference was that we needed to appear for exams once in every six monthe rather than an year ) .. Anyways PDP really led to a lot of interaction with the seniors of various states and years and I would really like to add the seniors of our JK group were awesome ..( One of the deadliest GROUP at thet time ) .. In the beginning it seemed a bit awkward but then we got used to it ....

One of the major reason for the homesickness to go away was the admission of Chaitaniy Razdan in this college .. ('ll he is the coolest guy I have ever known ).. he really made the life at NITJ easy and we became a group .. (We 3 from jammu) .... Made a lot of friends in that semester from all over india... Some from South India .. Some from North east ..central india ... every place you can think of on the map ...

We got our room on the topmost floor .. though we never slept there during summers ... Met Sheetal,Rajat,Anmol,Vatsy,Loru,Akshay,Vineet all in that sem ..... and can never forget the fun that we made of Keshav (kela) ... A Highlight of first year ....

First sem contained everything from making mockery of kela TO the fights we had with haryanivis , GT people TO having bath in the tanker on the terrace TO playing cricket during the exams TO go to CHAIL with seniors TO make new friends TO sitting on DS waiting for the girls TO making calls from the telephone to the girls hostel TO playing football in the lobby and breaking the window panes TO get ragged ......

The best day however of the first sem was the freshers party at ranbir when we felt like being free .... danced a lot on that day and then real life at NITJ began...

The only moment that i think of changing though in that semester was the day when we made mockery of some of out teachers and were made to pay heavily for that ..( HUNTERZ ) .. cannot forget the name of thet team .... (We did what no one even in final year would have done .. )

The sem came to an end with the exams with me and vineet studying physics from eight books...(Oh god) .. and Vineet topped in that exam ... It was the only sem .. which I think we all studied ... I had learnt that you have to perform only one time and then it is all yours...

...... The next sem was even more interesting and I would be writing about that in the next post ..

SECOND SEM @ NITJ

The second semester started with a bang .... The strikes that we did in our college made it NITJ from RECJ and so the pattern of the examinations also changed ... We were free from the cluthes of pathetic PTU and I can still remember the slogan "PTU hai hai " ... this all happend in the first sem though but the after effects were to be seen in the second semester....

I got my first result in this college and to my surprise I had topped in the batch ... ( One thing I had never thought ) ... Anyways was a nice feeling to hear that sitting in the hostel mess ... People congratulating me .. was really great ..

I spend most of this semester in exploring the Jalandhar City ... Went to Amritsar with the friends and then to the wagah border ( .. Was my first trip with the friends and a kewl experience ..) .. How we made a mistake by boarding an auto from wagah to amritsar .. 26 Kms. in an autu rickshaw .. Uhhhh

Had a crush on a girl in the college for the first time ... Late night parties with the friends .. Working hard with the seniors to make Sanganak 2k2 a success and then seeing the movies in the seminar hall on the projector.... Got to know a lot of seniors in CSE during that period only...

The interaction with the branchmates also increased as the ragging period had ended and we were coming more closer day by day.

During the summer sleeping on the terrace and sometimes even pouring water on the matresses and then sleeping on them .. Playing cards with the friends in molas room and going unprepared to give the vivas.. Going home in the Press Vans (.. you weer never sure whether you would reach Jammu in those or not) .. going to see of vinnet on the railway station at b2'O clock and then returing back to hostel on Cycle+Truck+Car (DRiven by some drunkards) at 7 in the morning nad the interesting thing is thet vinnet reached jammu before we reached back to the Hostel...

Again preparing for the semester exams .. though this time not too much .. and then being happy on Surpassing jaggu to be the overall topper giving me a chance to change my branch ..( Which I eventually didn't do and i am happy not having done that .. ) ...

Then the training period of 1 month in the college in different departments ..(All the years gone and we alone ..) .. Making a lot of images for the MP file and then falling ill before going home and the file eventually being completed and submitted by my dear friends..

The only thing that I want to change in this semester was to awake chaitaniy every morning so that he didn't get detained in one subject .. ( Though amongst the ones appearing for it 50% failed ) .. but i still think he should have been given a chance to appear for it.. May be we were partly responsible for it..

Then it was the turn of the third sem .. the sem we all would be seniors .. Gettins a new hostel .. Finding new galz and ragging them ... It would be really interesting...

The next post would be on how the third sem at NITJ was..
