Three Idiots (Rourkela The journey Begins)

The roaring noise of the engine came down,the whistle of the train going loud and finally with a jerk we reached Rourkela.It was a neat and clean morning and Rourkela being a part of obscure Orissa the concept of traffic is very rare.Mohanty uncle has already booked a rented house for us.The house was there in E block, Koel Nagar.With three luggage loaded auto we reached E 56(Our House Number).The house was bestowed with a serene look.It was two bedroom house with a kitchen and a big balcony.Later we used the balcony for playing cricket.The house still haunts me in dream and I have never got a better rented house than this.So our big dads went outside to arrange mattress for us.The greedy landlord was agreed to provide four beds.I will try to keep it short.Finally it was decided that Padhiary,Naidu and Binay Mohanty would be teaching us Chemistry,Physics and Mathematics respectively.Playing the role of a father /sister ,our guardians left,leaving us to decide the unseen future. The hope was never vanquished neither from us nor from them. We are born to be IITian. Now everything is in place. What can stopus from getting into the dreams.I will be sharing our first day experience.

Padhiary Sir
This 6ft 2 inch person is no less than a hydra or ten headed monster.I am just coallating my thoughts how did he look like. This is completely subjective and may vary person to person.
Jokes apart Padhiary sir takes care of us well for initial 1 month.I still remember his typical way of distinguishing our self from the fresher batch by calling us BSC students. We literally fumed at this word when he said it aloud in front of ladies. The worst blasphemy in this world is loosing your pride in front of fairer sex. In the first class we loose our self to the 12th class student/+2 students. Shame!!!!!! Immediately we went to sector 2 book and bought all the books prescribed by the doctors I mean teachers.

Binay Sir
Binay Sir had always given emphasis on seat numbers.Once you got into IIT you will be immortalised with your seat number at Binay Sir's class.Once it happened that I got a seat which used to be warmed by some ex IITian. Needless to say I got an effortless remark.Anyway this a will be covered at a later part.Our first class gave us a feel that we are occupying the same seat that used to be occupied by an IITian before. It was a moral boost and I faintly remember that we had great food at night.

Naidu Sir
The least commercial and the most professional among them was Naidu Sir. I will describe him a s a student centric teacher who hates to be interrupted by anxious parents. His sincerity,
punctuality, profound knoweldege and handsome look made a place in our heart. This respect had always came spontaneously. Ok coming to the first day I have got the best proverb in my life from Naidu Sir..You need to be in the sky if you want to be the stars. You can not be a star being at the ground. Most of the IITian took an hardest path for making into the sky(Exception Rahul Dash).

So this way we have had our first slice of coaching from IITian paternity.

Three Idiots (Where they met)

A group is generally formed by individuals having common ideology or sharing a same dream. Our group was formed on the latter part. We were sharing the same dream,the dream of getting to the coveted IITs.I wanted to name the story as "Four Idiots" but it would be foolish to call him an idiot.The story revolves round the dream we lived on but was never realized.The summer in Orissa is special.Special in the sense that average temperature soars to 41 degree centigrade and the preparation(This term is only specific to Orissa) for engineering and medical examination starts.

So after 12th board examination in June 2002 we have started our preparation.The central characters in this story are Soumya and Lalatendu,Lucky and Rahul.But later these chaps were known as Bhuyan, Babu Bhai,Javed Bhai and Rawell respectively.So let me stick to their new names. Bhuyan is my childhood friend.Of course the dream was not in our mind during school days.We just loved to roam around Balasore ,our own small and beautiful town.Thanks to our educated parents all these aspirations and expectations were put in place before this preparation starts.Finally we were convinced that our own town will not help them to realize that dream. After a lot of research and hard work we found that Rourkela is the place which has given birth to maximum blue blooded IITian .With the immense help from Mohanty Uncle(Lucky Bhai's Dad) finally we were set for Rourkela.There comes the third character Babu bhai. We met him at station.The regular trains from Rourkela to Balasore are overnight trains, usual time of boarding being 12.00 AM onwards. So me and Bhuyan were waiting at the platforms. Then we saw a person carrying a mammoth luggage and a carry bag accompanying a lady.His name is Lalatendu Sisusekhar Mohanty.The lady accompanying him is Lalatendu's elder sister.She kept on calling Lalatendu "baba".Due to our stupendous talent we interpret that his name is Babu.In Orissa affection can lead to serious disaster in spelling names. For example Makaranda can be a monkey because of affection and you become popular/notorious because of Monkey not for Makaranda.I hate those names through out my childhood.So we thought that Baba can be an amicable interpretation for Babu.In this way Lalatendu lost his initial name and was renamed to Babu bhai.

Every Dog Has Its Day

After having an amazing trip to Mauritius I resumed my 24/7 work schedule at my company. I have appeared CAT 2009.The results were out. Not much hope. Another year to my mba dream has been added. That day I did not have much work to do. Just refreshing my yahoomail inbox having slightest chance of getting a new job post. All of a sudden I got a mail for GD/PI discussion for some MBA institute. Thought it would be some XYZ college inviting me to fill the seats (They will give you a call if you appeared some examination, no bar on the score part). Was on the verge of deleting it. Wait the sender was not some xyz.It read iimk.ac.in. Bingo!!!!!!! IIM the blue blooded premier institute for pursuing MBAs in India. It is said that the II tag is an invincible. They can make you a star in overnight.Pleasant Surprise. I was on cloud 9.Two days after one more punch. The mail had the Subject line 'IIMB PGP 2010-2012 Programme- GD/PI call'.The joy knew no bounds. Finally my best nightmare is turning into reality.Lastly the surprise came to an end after getting a GD/PI call from IIM Indore.Man you are there. BIK d been added to my pocket.So god has been kind to me at last.There it all started. In my next post I will pen life after BIK GD/PI call
