There is a way of life that is unique in KGP . Being a fourth year, I have found KGP to be a place where strange things just happen...which you may not find happening anywhere else...unsophisticated readers may identify this phenomenon with the word ' katna' ... for sophisticated ones...well tell me when you find the word :)

So, why do i say this...you will realise that soon...To know whether you are a part of this elite group or not, just check whether some of the listed things often happen with you or not...Well , if u you are close to me, you dont need to read...you qualify automatically.

1. Whenever you go out of IIT gate, you need to cross two important barriers....called Puri Gate Fataks (railway crossings)...In case you are gifted like me, you always manage to be reach the fatak as it is about to close...and you wait counting the millions of boggies of the maal gaadi till u reach the next one...only to realise tht you managed to do the same thing twice...within 20 minutes...

2. You have been told that your attendence has reached dangerous low-limits...so you decide to go to class...and given that you have a strong will power , you reach the class...but the prof will not take attendence today...and all you come back is a couple of drawings on ur notebook...the same holds with surprise tests...you will attend the classes before and after this class...but will manage to miss the one in which the test was taken...a crucial reason for those letters (like P,D even F) on your grade card !

3. Even though chances are rare, to the point of improbable...but in case you get a message on your cellphone from some girl who thought about you once in a year or so...some bastard will read the message before you...and given that he is a well-wisher, he will ensure that all other well-wishers know about this message...and in case they are nice to you, will take the trouble of replying to the message with their own experiences of romance...so that its game over even before it began !

4. In case your mid sem syllabus has two chapters x & y , and you have time only to read one...irresepective of which one you decide, the other one shall comprise enough questions so that you don't have to sit for more than 2 hours in a 3 hour exam....thts called judgement at its best....and only chosen few are blessed with it...

5. Its clear outside, you decide to go out...as soon as you step out of your hall...it rains...you think it will stop...and as you reach a point of no return...it starts pouring....but hey...once you reach your journey...it stops raining....as if to say...'laut ke dikha' !

There are so many more which happens everyday...like going to Tech Market only to find out its Monday...getting up exactly at the time when there is no water in the hall.... having to move from the last bench to first in the exam hall coz the invigilator saw your intentions in your eyes even before the exam began......

Had it not been for Shakespeare, the phrase ' Alls well that ends well ' would have belonged to a KGPian...because that is the principle on which we (especially ppl like me) survive...and at some point ....even you must have said "Yaar.... Kuch kat raha hai"
