What Not To Do At IIT
Terminator
THEY SAY TIME FLIES WHEN YOU ARE HAVING FUN. IN THE first semester alone, with six courses, four of them with practical classes, time dragged so slow and comatose, fun was conspicuous by its absence.
Every day, from eight to five, we were locked in the eight-story insti-building with lectures, tutorials and labs.
The next few hours of the evening were spent in the library or in our rooms as we prepared reports and finished assignments.
And this did not even include the tests! Each subject had two minor tests, one major, and three surprise quizzes; seven tests for six courses meant forty-two tests per semester,
mathematically speaking. Luckily, the professors spared us surprise quizzes in the first month, citing ragging season and the settling-in period of course;
but the ragging season ended soon and it meant a quiz could happen any time. In every class, we had to look out for the instructor’s subtle hints about a possible quiz in the next class.
Meanwhile, I got better acquainted with Ryan and Alok. Ryan’s dad had this handicraft business that was essentially a sweatshop for potters that made vases for the European market.
Ryan’s father and mother were both intimately involved in the business and their regular travel meant Ryan stayed in boarding school, a plush colonial one in hill-town Mussoorie.
Alok’s family, I guess, was of limited means, which is just a polite way of saying he was poor.
His mother was the only earning member, and last I heard, schoolteachers didn’t exactly hit the dirt on pay-day. Besides, half her salary regularly went to support her husband’s medical treatment.
