Story of 3 Idiots

This story started when I entered into one of the premier institutes of India named Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT). I hope all my readers know this name as I don’t want to elaborate on this. The entrance into this itself is a story.
1. My Entrance – I was completely confused and shattered after I finished my graduation as I was holding no jobs in my hand as well as I didn’t had enough money to think about studying abroad. So everyday my mom used to pray for me that somewhere someday I will get a call for a good opportunity. After completing my graduation I left for my home at Kolkata along with a group of four friends. One of my friend came to station to sea off me. He filled the application form for VIT entrance exam and asked me too to fill the form. So I asked him to pay the money for me and apply for the exam which he did. After coming home daily I started preparing for NET exam which is the toughest exam to crack. The exam went very bad as I was unable to answer any question in Part-1 itself. All droppers and professors appeared in that exam. I was looking like a big fool in front of them. After that exam went away my hopes for my future became more tensed as I was having nothing in my head. One fine day, my mobile beeped and I got a message. It said that “ Your VIT entrance exam is tomorrow at 10 AM at this venue and you will be provided admit card half an hour before the exam. So please come an hour before the exam”. I was completely in a haphazard situation. My mom told this may be your last chance. Just give a try and write the exam. Next day, I went for this exam. The traffic at Kolkata made me enter into the institute 5 minutes late into the examination hall. I just took my admit card in a hurry and entered into the hall with complete sweat. The paper was quite easy and I finished my paper half an hour before the bell ranged and was enjoying butterscotch ice-cream outside the institute. One fine day I got a message which said that I qualified the exam and was asked to come to VIT for counseling.
2. Selection Day - On the counseling day I was totally haphazard after losing my seat in biotech. I was confused between nanotech and environmental engineering. One of my friends from my graduation also came for the counseling and she advised me to take environmental engineering which I did. After I finished my counseling, I was thinking that I have done a big mistake. I left for my home by taking a flight next day.
3. First Day at VIT: As it was my first day, I was very tensed about the kind of class, teachers and friends with whom I have to stay here for 2 years. As I entered into the class, I saw all dull and ugly faces except 2-3 and all my hopes were shattered. I sat at third row second bench along with some unknown boys. After one period of class, I started talking with some of them but I couldn’t find that compatibility which makes me to talk again. The day finished and I was hoping that with passage of time I may get some good friends.
4. First Idiot: It was evening time I was feeling bored so I just thought of going to library to issue some good books. I went to library and there I met my FIRST IDIOT who was sitting on a chair and was reading some biotech books sincerely. As he was my classmate I approached to him and just had a formal talk with him. I told him about my whereabouts and my interests and we started talking for a long time. He encouraged me to take up some good biotech topics which we can apply in our field and carry out some good projects here. We exchanged numbers and asked each other’s room number. So that day I felt like that I met a friend who is funny, kiddish, jovial, knowledgeable and full of masti type. He was from Mumbai, especially MULUND which he thinks the best place in the world.
5. Second Idiot: As the days were passing, I started talking with almost all the boys. Out of which there was one bald-headed, low vest pant wala whose red underwear always was the highlight just started talking with me. He told me that he already has done 2 jobs and he was the first person to take this branch. He was from Kalyan, Mumbai. We didn’t shared such close rapport as he use to be in his own world but was very friendly with anybody. He gave me his number and we started sitting with each other in the class.
6. Third Idiot: One fine day, a new girl from Jammu who was so fair entered into the class as she joined late and quietly sat at the back bench. I asked my first idiot who is she. He jokingly said that I already know her. She is from Jammu. Then I got a message from my graduation friend asking “ What happened? Wo nayi ladki ko dekh ke hosh ud gaye kya??” I replied “ Waise dikhne me to mast hai…..par lagta hai sharmili type ki hai…pata nai bat karegi ki nahi??”. Then in second half we had lab classes where I saw her talking to a group of friends. I interfered in their talks and asked her something for which she replied in a very funny way. As I was listening to her all my imaginations about her went to haste. Because she was totally opposite to what I was thinking about her. One fine day she messaged me about some help and in this way I got her number and started messaging and talking in the class.
7. First Semester: The first semester we enjoyed a lot. We had lot of class parties and outings. The whole class was divided into groups and they use to enjoy in groups. My group comprised of tehse 3 idiots along with some other friends. During exam time, me along with these 2 idiots use to study together and the third idiot use to be over phone since we had separate boys and girls hostels ( God…..Y can’t we have common hostels???).. So, in this way we use to clear each other’s doubt and use to help each other. When we boys failed to understand anything, we use to call that third idiot in library and use to study together. ( Frankly speaking….We had almost 80% masti and 20 % study…..because that third idiot use to laugh like anything….the faces she makes and clueless smiles makes everybody to join her). We had a complete masti all the time.
8. Second Semester: As we were entering into the second phase, our subjects increased and pressure increased. But then who cares…at last we have to study for one night before the exam. The whole class went for Nagpur trip which we enjoyed a lot. We presented our posters at an international conference in which we had parties, DJ Night and so much fun. After coming from the trip we were busy finishing our assignments and exam preparations. We studied like anything to clear the exams.
9. Third Semester: The third semester was having less subjects and so were quite relaxed. In between we had some quarrel between the 2 idiots as we all planned to stay in a single room which I planned but later on I dumped them because of some confusion and fight with my roommates. I really feel bad for it still now as it made them helpless and till now we discuss on that thing. But later on everything was settled. We all were in the same hostel. And this new game invented by my MULUND friend which was “MAFIA” and it was so interesting that at late nights we use to assemble in someone’s room and kept playing for late nights. The god in that game was constant which the first idiot I met was. I used to be easily caught in that game as I am very bad in acting. But it was fun and we use to laugh a lot.
10. Seperation: The fourth semester was a separation semester. We were supposed to do projects for a period of 7-8 months and everybody were applying outside college as it will be useful in future. One of my idiot friends from Kalyan already got the project at AMPRI Bhopal through my HOD’s recommendation. So, he was decided that he will leave for Bhopal. But me along with my two idiots were still passing through a tensed situation about our project work. Then one fine day, my dad told me about a company named Ramky and I told to my friend from mulund about this. I didn’t had any hopes from this company as I took it lightly. At class, my jammu friend asked me and I told her about this company. My father gave me the HR’s mail id and number to which we 3 of us sent our resumes and applied for it. It was under process for almost one month and we were on continuous conversation with the HR. One fine day we were supposed to give telephonic interview for which call came for me along with my Jammu friend. My third friend didn’t got chance for which we felt very bad as we all applied together. But that’s life…we accepted and my friend who likes Mumbai very much said that my luck is always in Mumbai and I will definitely get there. The happiest moment came when I was studying for my last semester paper and my Jammu friend called me up and told me that we will be getting stipend during the course of our internship. I was so excited. The paper also went well and I was very happy.
11. Journey To Hyderabad: Before leaving for our internship one company named Cognizant came to our campus for placement which we applied. In the aptitude test my 2 best buddies didn’t got chance to face interview. My interview went very bad and I was having no hopes at all but finally me along with that Jammu friend got selected in the company. The very next day along with her I left for Hyderabad. We were excited that what kind of company will be….how we will stay there….etc etc….but being with her all my worries are nothing…because whenever I am with her I am so lucky that I surpass all my difficulties. She is a good luck charm for me. In the train we had long discussions about our journey so far in life and were planning about our stay in Hyderabad.
12. Entrance to Hyderabad: As we reached Hyderabad, the company gave us guest houses for a temporary stay. We went straight to the guest house. As we entered the guest house we were enthralled with the ambience and the maintenance of the guest house. The rooms were well furnished and all the facilities were there except food. After fresh up we went to company and were equally excited.
13. First Day at Office: My first day in office was very exciting. We were warmly welcomed by the company members. We met Vice-President of the company and he was very jovial in his interaction with us. We never felt like we are treated as students here. We were given separate cubicles along with net connection. Our project guide was very helpful in deciding our topic of project and we finally decided our topics after some days. The moment I logged in my net connection I checked facebook page which was blocked. The next thing I did I created a Gmail acc for her and dragged her into chats. We use to have long chats and whenever we need something we use to ask in chats. Its later on we discovered that there are extension phones on which we can speak. That day I dragged her to have our lunch at KFC which was nearby our office and we enjoyed our meal.
14. Life at Hyderabad: We came to Hyderabad at the month of September and for 2 weeks we were at guest houses. But the real struggle which we faced was getting a paying guest to stay at Hyderabad because after 2 weeks we need to leave the guest house. So we started roaming like helpless fellows, went here and there and scanned entire Hyderabad for getting a good guest house but we failed to get a single good room. After days of our struggle the caretaker of guest house had some broker friend who showed me a paying guest which was good and I took the room. But still I was trying for her to get a good paying guest. We talked to a lot of brokers and finally we managed to get a good paying guest for her. So now our lives were on track.
15. Problems We faced: The problem which I faced was about food and I use to daily complain about the food I use to get for my lunch. But I didn’t had any choice so I have to stay there. Daily I use to tell her that what problems I am facing and she use to laugh at me and use to say that everything will be fine. The problem which she faced was she use to get cockroaches in her food…hahahaaaa……and she left that paying guest and shifted into a flat with a Bengali roommate. ( The bong connection will always be with her) So now on she use to cook food and use to eat and I use to get my BAKWAS food from my PG and use to share her food. One day she brought “Anda Curry” for me. I asked for 2 eggs. It was delicious. After having lunch we were full and planned to take half day’s leave and we packed everything ..took auto and just escaped.
16. Most Important Day: One fine day at office she asked me to come to her and she showed me the mail which our college sent. The mail said that Ramky is coming for campus recruitment and we were very much excited. We told our friends and the other 2 idiots too. Out of that my mulund friend was not eligible for this….too bad. So we were asking here and there that which division is coming and weather its Hyderabad division. Later on we explored that its from the other division of Ramky which is opposite to our division at Hyderabad itself. We went to the HR and he was very excited to know that we are from VIT and doing intern here. So, he told us about the entire process and he asked us to go through the normal process for which we have to go to VIT and finish the procedure. We went to college, finished the aptitude test and interview and came back to Hyderabad. After almost 2 weeks we got the results in which we were selected but our 2nd idiot from Kalyan missed the chance which was again a setback for us. We felt very bad for him as if he would have been here we would have regained our group again. So now its me and my jammu friend who has been a common factor for me always and my lucky charm.

Our joining is on June and after one month training we will be given postings. Donno what is written in the future but I don’t want to miss this third idiot in my life.

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES……….
