The Engineering Story......

Some Basic definitions:

Engineering College: Place where you're punished for getting good HSC/JEE marks.
Babe : After two years in Engineering, anything remotely female qualifies for that title.
Senior: Guy who got ragged as junior and wanna get some payback.
Fresher: Guy who has to ask where the canteen is...
Really Dumb Fresher : Guy who asks a senior where the canteen is.
Really Really Dumb fresher : Guy who follows the senior to the canteen.
Ragging : The unfortunate fate of the previous idiot.
vasive action: Watch the juniors when any seniors come nearby. (No one runs faster than a
fresher. NO ONE.)
Lectures: Waste of time. Physical presence is a must...only meant for sleeping, completing
assignments & general TP.
Tuitions: What you take when you don't waste enough time.... Professor: Person paid to put
students to sleep.
Vernac Prof : Unusual variant of previous individual who comes packaged with his own brand of English ("Now you check me our journal." "You Out get from class." "Are you Understand,
Beta?")
Practicals: 60 to 90 minutes in which you watch the girls do your experiment, and usually
destroy a considerable array of lab equipment.
Hopeless Practical: The practical in which there are no girls in your group simply look blankly at each other, fiddle with the equipment, and finally copy the readings. (From the girls of course...).

The Truth about exams....

Timing : When ur non-engineering GF/BF is free to enjoy while u slog with submissions & exams

Irony: The guy who copied your entire paper passes and you flunk.

Critical Calculation: Summing up the marks you attempted worth in the exam...

KT : Makes you suicidal. The WAY of life...

Year Drop: Makes dad homicidal.

Revivification: A cruel joke. (Results of which come after you give the KT exam).

An engineer's 10 engg commandments of Life:

1. Thou shalt study only during the preparatory leave.
2. Thou shalt never write thy assignments thyself.
3. Thou shalt begin writing thy journals only on the morning of submission.
4. Thou shalt treat all marks above 35 as bonus.
5. Thou shalt have at least 70 per cent attendance in the canteen.
6. Thou shalt pass GRACEfully.
7. Thou shalt always be an OUTstanding student.
8. Thou shalt give thy attendance without being present...PROXY is a MUST
9. If thou can't convince them, confuse them.
10. Thou shalt start every sentence with a four-lettered word.

The Years of Engineering

F.E .: Fond of Engineering
S.E .: Sick Of Engineering
T.E .: Tired of Engineering
B.E .: B**** to Engineering

Engineers Anthem:

Hum Honge All Clear, Honge All Clear, Honge All Clear Ek Din,OH-HO, Mann me hai vishwas, pura hai vishwas, hum hoge all clear ek din

Top two Engineering Rumors:

'Did you hear the results are being put up today at 5:30pm'
'Did you hear the exams are postponed by two weeks, its been put up'.

Common Engineering Dialogues after a paper:

'What is this yaar, more than 70% of the paper was out of the syllabus''This was the worst paper set in the entire engineering history' 'I am failing.... I got sc***ed royally'

Feeling after Completing Engineering:
