My college sucks [VIEW FULL POST]

I have been tagged by babbu who brought me in to this blog world, to comment on ten things that suck about my college.

1. The biggest blow! My college is not in Chennai, but in Coimbatore. (Coimbatore Institute of technology, CIT). I really missed home and my birth city, which I have always relished roaming around. Adding to that, I missed being in a city. Ya, coimbatore is still not a city.

2. My college is one of the oldest institutions of the state. So it looks more like an old building, and the hostels are worse. Chumma 1773 la kattina mari irukum. Actually they were built 50 years ago.

3. There was no canteen in the college. Usually canteen is one of the places for a get together and a chat (samosa, bhel puri…??). [[continue >>>>]]

4. Regarding acads, the staffs were a closed group of crooks. A few had the knowledge and a small percentage among them could transfer the knowledge across to the students. I should really specify this. One bas#$%^ , (nicked bell) really put on a sheep’s clothing of a scientist. He had a good accent, and could (only) speak well. Knowledge – I swear he would fail in the paper he sets. He handled computer communication networks for me. The real comedy behind this is proved by this small incident.

He had all his files in a folder named “new folder” (obvious, he does not know to rename folders) in D drive. In front of me, he opened my computer, but wrongly entered in to C drive. Saying “oh! I have come in to the wrong drive”, he closed the window and opened “My computer” again and then jumped in to D drive.

5. These set of crooks sort of dictate who pass and what scores they get. The internals were out of 25, and I never managed more than 10, unlike in anna univ, where 14 is for granted. The internals is actually based on a few tests and assignments and more and I actually don’t deserve more for my performance. But what sucks is that, if you suck the professor, she (or he) ll give 25 on 25. Most girls and a few boys took real advantage of this. As far as yours truly is concerned, I was the first name in the bad books of these set of crooks. Also, inside this set of crooks, who hold a round table conference, where a few names are broadcast among them.

6. The above point is a alleast tolerable. I really don give a fu$k if a girl gets a cgpa 10 on 10. But when it came to the external paper also, these set of crooks, manage to dictate again. In all the semesters, I can segregate those papers which were corrected externally from those corrected internally, by just looking at MY GRADE SHEET. This is the most irritating thing in my entire college life. I always got less than I deserved in my main exams.

7. Being a government college, not many girls came in, and those came in couldn be called girls [There are always two of three exceptions per year]. No more comments on this.

8. This one is quite normal and expected. They provided the worst food in the hostel mess. And what is even worse is that, we had no alternatives. No canteen or so where I can fill in my stomach with something.

9. Being not in Chennai, and in a government college, too many students who managed to come from villages (read also Tamil medium), really managed to be a pest spanning all four years of my engineering. There was a vast culture difference and no matter what I did, I was a peter, scene and a dominating fellow, just because I was from Chennai. Real pests. You can’t even say either “oth@ or fuck” before them. Both are considered offensive. (wtf???)

10. This one is real FATE. I managed to do my engineering in electrical and electronics. (EEE). I don know how and I really wonder, why EEE is considered a psyche department in almost all colleges, spanning across the state. My college was no exception and I always managed to roam with a gang in computer science department. My department fellows are a bunch of psychs, who managed to suck professors’ s _ _ _ _ to score more, and were always in formals (wearing jeans would damage their name in the good boys list maintained by the set of crooks. Wtf???? again).

Thankfully babbu would have a scent of gratitude towards me for saving him from psycho department and also for forcing him to take up computer science as his discipline.

I tag fellow bloggers, srinath , prithz, marutham , uthra , nirek, gopal. Some one wants an opportunity to write on his or her college, let me know. I m willing to tag you, if you can say to the world, how your college sucks!

P.S. - I have my degree certificate in my hand and I never need any help or what so ever from my college or any of its staff. So I can even put their names and call them whatever I want. But it may not be the case with you. But, why the fu$k have a blog, when you cannot put what runs in your mind in to your post??

AMAM DA MAMA - AMAM DA MACHAN [VIEW FULL POST]

College life is truly an amazing and unforgettable part of everybody’s life. Here I am not including some private colleges like j.p.r engineering college [the English man], vellamal engineering and so on. For students of these colleges, college life is a total damage. It is analogous to a poor boy watching his neighbor nakkify ice cream.

I was just pondering over an incident in my college, which brought into my mind the jargon in various colleges. These lingo are spread across various colleges, and analogous words may differ or overlap. If you find a difference or know a different word for the same, just pen down them here.

The most frequently used word – oth*
I don’t know why, but this word slips into the beginning of all sentences, for most college students. include “schools students also”. This is mostly predominant in Chennai. I did my engineering in coimbatore. And during the first year, during conversations with other people, just like that, this unique word slips out. Oh me, I saw a change in the faces of those people. Chennai la, chancey illa. Dash a kuda madgika matanga. This word is a MUST BE USED in every sentence and I wonder why, it is always at the beginning. I call it the ‘o’ initial.

The second most frequently used word : MACHAN
This word is in a heavy competition with the ‘o’ initial and is rated as the second most frequently spoken word. Ironically, whenever the ‘o’ initial is not used, this word becomes the prefix for the sentence. Like the ‘o’ initial, the ‘M’ relation also finds upper hand in Chennai. It also goes hand in hand with the ‘o’ initial. It is either

OoTh*, vechan da aapu (or)

machan , vechitan da aapu.

This word finds a analogy in “mapla” in places other than Chennai. Mostly common in coimbatore. (recall coimbatore mapla). This word is the reciprocator for “machan”. The converse also holds good. I call it the ‘M’ alternative.

A: machan
B: sollu da mapla.

One other word, which is considered a better reciprocator for the ‘M’ relation is ‘MAMA’. It is also used as a nick for BIG and BULKY guys. Some guys with naracha mudi (grey hair) also get this name. The machan mama relation is a deep relation in college and yields students to take risk for proxies in class, forging records, and the most important – inside examination halls. This word is another jargon wide spread only in Chennai. There is one famous song, which is sung in buses during college tours.

“amam da mama, amam da machan”

Since this word is used as the reciprocal for the ‘m’ relation, it is called “M” reciprocator. Another word which is also the same word is “MAMU”. The stress is on the first few letters of the word and rhymes like “mamae”. One another semblance of the word is MAMS.

A list of other words used :
1. FRUIT – He is the teacher’ s pet. Submits assignments. Submits all assignments. Submits assignments on time. Has an attendance of over 90% (not to the canteen, but to the class). He is different from other students, who manage to come to college or stay only in hostel, maintain an attendance of 100% to college and only 50 % to the class. He asks doubts in class. He takes notes in class. He does not draw pictures or write poems during class hours. He sits mostly in the front rows. When he takes a leave to college, he submits a leave letter. He also copies notes from other fruits for classes he was absent. He moves with quite a number of girls in the class, takes print outs for them. All girls ask him doubts. [[[ view full post..]]] He goes to the library quite often. You can never see him at the canteen, unless he waits there to exchange a reference book with a girl. He scores quite highly in exams. He never wears jeans. He never comes late to the class. He wishes staff, when he crosses them in the corridor. He has a separate notebook for every subject. He uses the internet to search papers on the net. He never smokes nor drinks, nor participates in sports. He never goes to movies.

2. PISTH – He is an expert in the subject. The adjectives quite often used with this word are “samma pisth” and “seriyana pisth”. Usually he wears a pair of spectacles. He finishes all assignments given in the lab, during the three hours itself. He also helps other fellow students the day before the practicals. Most of them smoke, but dont drink. Or vice versa.

3. PETER – No, he is not a Christian, but he is a kinda of bombastic and pompous flowery user of the language. He hears “back street boys”. And claims they are the best troop in the world. (In most cases, he knows only one song and sings it over and again.) He wears jeans and t shirt always. He smokes and drinks. He uses the words “dude”, “f*ck” and the like too often. He tries to impress girls with his English as the trump card and says he doesn know “ta-mil” much. Most of them are rapidex English speaking course followers.

4. BULB - He is not the brightest student in the class, but often laughed about. Whenever the expectation matches the situation, but the outcome aapu adifies, then it is called a bulb. Example : A group of boys wait near the canteen for the girl, but the girl comes to the canteen with her boy friend or father, this is called a bulb.

5. BUN - The bun is similar to the bulb, In a situation where the bulb occurs due to a verbal conversation. A boy proposes to the girl and the girl says she is committed, it is called a BUN.

One small old mokkai sms :
Once a boy proposed to a girl. The girl said “NO”. And the boy lived happily forever.

6. CUP @ GOAT - When the score or marks is less than the pass percentage (which is usually 40 or 50), it is called a CUP or a GOAT. However, cup or goat occurs only in a small class test , mid sem or internal examinations.

7. ARREAR - This is the elder brother of CUP. When a student scores less marks than the requird pass percentage, he is said to have won a arrear. (won??). It is not considered a great sin to fail in an examination like in school. Infact, many students float on this verse. – no arrear, no career.

8. PROXY -- This is an invaluable gift or present to a student, given by his class met, whom he calls machan. It usually happens in turns, and is usually traded for a “kings” cigar or reciprocated with a proxy next day for his machan.

If you find a difference or know a different word for the same, just pen down them here.
