The Gr8 Indian Admission Rat-Race!!

As i write this i've completed "The Gr8 Indian Journey" which every1 in my rank prof for GATE has had to take..It began with Kanpur,through to Mumbai,and then on to Delhi and finally back home,in the process skipping Kharagpur too.so it is with a lot of heartache,sunburn,fond and not-so-fond memories that you have sent me back home,my countrymen-and women!!

Firstly, thanks to the present Railwy admin we never got a single 3AC ticket throughout the entire journey..One might ask wat has the admin got t do with it..For 1 thing its a blatant and open fact that the admin is hand-in-hand with agents and u never get t c an Available seat for 2-3 months flat..its alwys waitin list t the tune of 100 or more..u might say its due t the vacation season,but the scene gets uglier in the tatkal queues..agents are alwys 1st in the queue or their cronies are..and they even get their tickets going inside the counter-room..its a fact that in N.India..u wont get a tatkal ticket by standin in the queue...So while the aam-admi gets it up his rear tickets are sold for double-price even!..shd say the scene ws better with Laloo..mamata's durantos too re useless..v call them durantam(disaster) down south..so much for railwys..

Part 1 : Kanpur..shd say love the iit but hate the city..has t be 1 of the worst cities i've ever been to..more of a dump than a city..but the iit..beauty!!!every bit of it..loved the infrastructure n plannin..but boy oh boy didnt v get the treatment in the interview..t sum it up..i understood that u dont need knives t inflict pain..giv him an iitk interview anyday!!but it feels gr8 t be selected...

Part 2:Mumbai...on an overnight flight t beat the iit strategists at their game in mumbai,i found that 70% of the ppl in the flight were goin for the same thing..u c iits this yr hav scheduled their admission process so tht the aam-admi wont make it to more than 1 or max 2 iits t try his luck..in mumbai i found out tht this yr its heavy competition even for aero which isnt given the sort of attn. it got at iitb..over a 100 ppl turned up for 19 odd seats..apart from the admission process i ws there cos i wanted t tour mumbai 2..so it ws with renewed vigour tht i set out the nxt mornin frm my uncle's place..tried out the metro all along 1 length of it..LLLLLLLLLovveddddddd it!!!!!!i loved the crowd..the fact tht u dont hav t do anythin..u jus stand still n they push u inside an they push u bac outside..neat eh!!u'll never get this much of personalised attn in the delhi metro..i like the spirit of the ppl in mumbai..their lifes hectic..every1 alwys near-runnin..yet they ALWYS find time t sing and pray on the metro..i hav t giv it t u mumbaikars..for
1.the way u enjoy ur metro journey swingin by 1 hand at the door
2.they way u guys sing and pray noisily in the evenings.
3.going thro the same process again an again n still doin it..
BUT like evrythin it has its downside too..i ws once standin near the doorway n cos it ws not my stop i started t go inside..there ws this guy in his late 30s who gives me such a stare as if he ws the don of mumbai..twas as if i ws pullin his balls with me as i started to go inside..i bein the cool guy i ws of course whistled at his face n continued..tho must say..too much reaction for nothin!!i heard that this kinda thing happens a lot-ppl get really angry if ure standin in the wrong queue t get dwn frm the train..Arey!!itna tension kai ko lene ka?..no one is going to prevent u frm gettin down n if v want t move aside n let u get dwn u shd b happier na??seedhi baat no bakwas!!there is mumbai left t b explored but all-in-all i kinda like the place..

part3:delhi..the delhi iit is much better than iitb in terms of looks n the city is cleaner too i guess..the delhi metro is cool but it lacks the spirit of the mumbai 1..the city i cldnt explore that much due t the heat,but frm wat i saw of it twas o.k..the ppl,the youth-brigade re quite cool..n the gudis of delhi impressed me...but i left delhi with lots more left t explore..i badly,badly wantd t go t noida but cldnt..n i really wantd t c the night-life properly in these 2 cities..but thats for another time i guess..
