The Choice of Hypocrisy

Backboned in a gigantic family of ONGC and being nurtured in the classrooms of the intelligentsia of teachers and professionals, I am often asked, in relation to academics, for answers to lot many confusions, suggestions and recommendations from dedicated servers of students and parents. And I always love to share my thoughts, whatever little I am worthy of.

I long to share one such ‘revered’ experience with you, revered because it was a special packet(in terms of networking) routed from one of the most venerated persons, who briefly shaped my academic peripherals. The contention was the choice between B-Tech admission to Nit Surat and Da-iict. It was quite simple for me to answer to that. I did answer with conviction and quite convincingly but the result – an elopement from the counseling of the beautiful Da-iict. I was left dumbstruck.

An institution of tremendous repute, Da-iict is a home to amazing and stupendous talents and resources – be it the faculties or the ambience or the resource center coupled with the innovative and indomitable student fraternity. The institute is a unique designer which dresses you with nuances of anthropology, sociology and humanities besides the exquisite technical outfits. It is a coach which trains you to take on the toughest games (competitions and examinations) mentally. It is a bond which knows no breakage save fun and exhilaration.

At the same time, I have no intentions, in the least, to under-estimate the greatness of other national institutions especially the Nits. But, to be very honest and rational, the tastes of the produce of Da-iict, without any comparison, have been growing sweeter and healthier. The result stands un-parallel.

Under such a light, I was taken aback at the step-motherly treatment meted out to such a temple of academics, especially by an experienced academic person who befittingly deserves nothing more than a moniker of hypocrite.

We must thank the Almighty to have blessed us with such a wonderful and excellent college; it is truly our good-luck. And perhaps this person's luck is juggling through the nets of an own repentant goal or it might just be happy licking the Cup of second-series of Nits. It is just a wait to see which luck wins.
