NIT Jamshedpur.. Then and now !!

It was 16th July 2007, as far as I remember , when i took admission in NIT Jamshedpur and cursed that day for almost a year or so. My first class in the college and no teacher turned up, it was ED that day and 8-12 , we were in the class , in the room there was no current. Every senior who met cursed me for taking computer science in NIT Jamshedpur , "sale 4000 rank lekar , pagal kutte ne kata tha jo yahan aa gya, aur koi college nai mila ... koi nai TCS le jayegi !!"
  This turned worst when we had no labs, no college fresher, no current , no swimming pool !!
Well the things change, 2k6 paved the way and we followed, 1st strike, 2nd strike and then a hunger strike ..... result we had 24 hours JUSCO electricity. Come 2nd year and there were C classes for computer science students , quizzes ,prizes,  a failed ( but tried) mentor system... At the fag end of second year we had a successful cryptex, seems the things were changing for good.
With 2k8, the things changed drastically, we called them the lucky batch , but luck favours the brave, a few in 2k6 and 2k7 with untiring efforts from 2k8 revolutionized things .. first car by NIT Jamshedpur, den 2nd ,  den 3rd and the count keeps on increasing every year now .. the college got going and others drew inspiration ... wat was Kartavya till now , turned into Sankalp, the budding social entrepreneurs worked hard to get it registered as an NGO... Not only ground but sky too was ours with some good prizes in aero design I guess ..
It was 4th year for me , and computer science placements were far better, the company I was forced to dream about ie TCS was blacklisted .. and placements were far better than previous batches especially for computer science with Microsoft visiting for the first time.
The mood of achieving heights continues, this year Alumni meet , one guy making it to Microsoft, computer science department's placement best in college history, and then the inception... the stage is set, we can just get better ...
A few guys without whose efforts all this was a dream : Ankur, Rachit, Rajnish, Sukirti,Ishan, sameer, yash modi, sudarshan (all 2k5), Amal Agrawal, Ankit Manaskant,Priyaranjan pandey, Sumit nathani , Govinda, Sharad sir, Abhishek(MSP)(all 2k6), Manish Kumar Jha, Amrendra, mayur, Giri , Amit (Jammy), Anand Jha, Satbir, Hari , satish, Ashish(Linux), Avnish, Aditya, Rana (Zayan sports), Abhishek, Dev Babu..(all 2k7)

Hello !! May I talk to Uma Devi ..

Nothing ..Why ?
I am in office and I find another person sitting on my machine , I don't know him.
ohh, you are in office ..Ya Chandra, actually you have been deallocated from the project ..
What!! deallocated .. why .. I was on leave and there was no intimation, I have been working in this project since a year and now suddenly ..
Sorry, I can't do anything chandra , I am working from home , you need to talk to the HR ..
You are working from home, the HR is in Chennai .. whom do I talk to ?? What do I do .. I come from a holiday and find my cubicle , machine everything snatched ..
And his cubicle mates are so busy with there deliverables that they have no time to console this guy .. just a formal Hi , thats it !! Shocked, he tries to gather some attention .. " Hi Ashok !!  Hi Adarsh ... How are you ?"  But Ashok and Adarsh have no power in there hand .. they chat for 5 mins and leave him on his fate .. and this was valentines day ... the company's love was showered on him .. The place where he worked till a few days , was all transformed into a stranger's den .. Another PM asks him to leave the zone and meet some HR.. but he is lost .. NO  I WON'T LEAVE THIS IS MY PLACE.. I WORK HERE.. THIS IS MY MACHINE ..

His parents are searching a girl for him , huh, the groom is a software engg.. but alas , now what , no project , no work , may be they give me a pink slip when I meet HR .. What would I tell my parents .. How do I go back ... What would I do now ........... Sorry Chandra .. Bye !! Your time is up , this is IT industry .. we can't wait for you , All the best !!
