NCSTian Friends

Its been more than 6 weeks here at NCST now and I realize how fast the time has gone past here. It feels like only yesterday I entered the gates of this great great institution with all my baggages and ran to the main lecture hall on the first floor for the introductory session and hear Raman sir say "Welcome to Hell!". Its was only yesterday that I met Abhijit after the first session who said.." Baap re! Kahan aa gaye hain hum" and then had tea and pastries(that was the only time we got pastries in mess) with him and Aditya who is now my roommate. Since it was the first time I was to stay away from the comfort and safety of my home, I expected it to be quite tough for me to adjust here, but that was not to be. Thanks to some friends I've here. A short description of some of them:
First and foremost is Abhijit, undoubtably. Abhijit belongs to my hometown, Patna. He is the star of our group or rather the whole batch, I would say. Ask him the details of any girl here, and he has it all on his fingertips. Dont believe me? check his blogs: http://goodabhijit.blogspot.com. He is ever-laughing guy who certainly makes my stay much more enjoyable here.
Then I've got my roommate Aditya. He is from Nagpur and did his engineering from Pune. Within a small time we have become very close friends and I enjoy his company. A very co-operative person, I'm lucky to have him as my roommate. He loves keeping things in order and our bathroom timings rarely clash, which is a bonus!
My neighbours, Arun and Utkarsh. Arun is from Delhi and Utkarsh hails from Lucknow.They are a fun package. Spend some time with them and it wont be unusual to have your stomach aching by laughing. According to them, they always compete amongst themselves on having more baths each day!!
Then there is Purshottam, Abhijit's roommmate and Gauri Bajaj. Purshottam's hometow is Ranchi and Bajaj is from Bhagalpur, Bihar. Purshottam is a person who views everything from very unique aspect, something that we cant imagine. That is the reason for his unique style of programming. More often than not his logic is different for solution of any problem. Bajaj is very concsious about his health and follows a strict daily routine. I wish I'll follow his routine someday!
Nikhil Saxena hails from Bareilly and he did his engineering in Comp. Science from Meerut. He is very extrovert in nature and is hard-working. Our views matches a lot and in many cases we share similar history!
Monica has her home in Kanpur and was Nikhil's classmate in engineering college. She is known for her love for chocolates and sweets. Thats why we call her 'Chinti'. Dare her into a duel of words and you will be running away in minutes! She holds a special place in our hearts. A real sweetheart!
Nikhil Saraswat is from Bijnaur,UP. He too, like Nikhil and Monica, did his engineering in comp. science from same college in Meerut. He is a very humble and emotional person. I wish he gets more practical with time.
There is one person I would certainly like to mention. He's Ravi Chandra. My most mornings start with him staring over me. He will be the one to wake us up(if not Abhijit) and say 'Challe'. A very nice person at heart. We can bully him as much we want and he wont it a bit.
All of them are not only good in nature but are brilliant in studies also. Bajaj and Aditya have managed to clear all their MGPAs. Abhijit and Arun are quickly recovering from the shock of joining their course so they havent cleared enough of them but they are very brilliant in Maths and in fact they are the ones who teach us Maths before exams thanks to which we all have got very beautiful scores. Purshottam, Ravi and Utkarsh are equally good in programming and Nikhil is an allrounder!
These and many others who are not mentioned here have made my stay very comfortable at NCST. Thanks to them!
