09:45 July 22, 2009: I was standing in front of the non functional fountain (obstructing) the main building. Yeah, I was at NITK Surathkal. A fresher hoping to have the most rocking four years of his life, I entered this place. In 20 mins, I was in my room. Room ** I block. 4 guys stuffed inside a room meant for three...three cupboards, three lan ports and you usually get locks with three keys. We had a struggle finding one with four. Thanks to the CCB's new rule, student no. increased and we were packed like fishes in wooden cartons.
And guess what, we are 'supposed' to be the "luckiest" batch of NITK coz we joined the college in its golden jubilee year. Beat that!
Come orientation day and we got a 'guided' tour of the campus. Like a herd of buffaloes, we were sorted branch-wise and taken to our respective branch depts. and met our faculty....ppl we would be with for the next 4 years. And then of course the beach, the only college in India to have a private beach...you see that written everywhere and said everywhere but seriously nothing fancy if you have lived on a coastal city throughout your life.
