You can pass out of an IIT, but you can never leave it behind.. (or something crisp, to that effect! )

Watched this amazing video today
Dunno what folly made me search for IITB videos on You Tube
But then many a men have fallen into the trap
of looking behind and being ensnared by their past!

It is more than a ghost, I think,
This past of mine, it lives in me day and night
The echo of four blissful years of my reasonably happy life! :)

Coming back to my cardinal sin,
The beautiful song was trimmed
morphed rather, to sing praises of
the noteworthy life of the valuable IITB scholar!

You can tell where the words are a delta forced
Yet it fit so beautifully, seamlessly
into the campus life and rung true!
Capturing the heart of life there
in its own distinctive lingo!

Not satisfied with throwing away my
entire weekend maaroing pure lukkha
so I couldn't even recall where my time went
(Ask any self-respecting IITian how to do that )

I went on to waste my Sunday evening too
Listening to the blessed song in an
Infinite Loop
egged on by the portrayal of 'The IITBite'
the notes dissolving away whatever dregs of
guilt the new 'Grad student' in me had
developed

My conscience arose, troubled
by the call of its Alma Mater
Putting fight to stand true to the touchstones
of a true IITian life

And I decided to put away all my NBD and
watch a late night movie
Which fortunately turned out to be depressing
So I felt duty-bound
to watch a happy one subsequently!


Now it's 12:15 am on Sunday and I have a meeting with my Prof
tomorrow morning with 2 days worth of work expected
And not a penny's worth done!

And so I resort to the age old recipe for success of last minute submissions:
A Night-Out! :) :)

Which will begin directly after this
Morale-boosting blog, I promise!

And so will I have been faithful
to my legacy! :)

And guess what, I am happy
Quite happy
At not being a NBDu grad student
buried in books
so desperate to finish all work within a day of the deadline! :D

Happy to decide to put my foot down and break a few rules! :D

For all those who haven't done this
You have no idea of how great it feels
To not arrive..
To late- submit or not submit..
To miss a deadline...
To break a rule..
To miss a beat, dump a care..
To sneak a night for oneself..
To lose the load..

After all wasn't this what IIT was all about?!!
