yes it very true....didnt you know it??..our nit hostels are so clean that you wont even find a housefly in the the entire hostel...the toilets are so clean that the students actually admire the cleanliness and are always in a queue to use the washrooms..the mess is just so spick and span that you would think that you are actually in a 5 star restaurant enjoying a sumptuous meal...now if you have ever lived in a hostel in your life you will probably realize what i have been talking about...and if you have been actually reading this thinking that what is written above is the truth then i suggest you continue reading further else if you know the truth i would advise you stop right here because you have nothing more to go though...
An inner look into our highly talked about NIT hostels would give you an impression about how the students live without a 12 hr water supply,muddy and dusgusting washrooms and flies squattering all over the food during meal hours..yes odd it may seem but it is the truth at end of the day..there is never a queue in the morning for using the toilets because frankly speaking they are just too disgusting to go in and empty your stomach..well i havnt used it in ages..and i wont reveal where i clean empty my bowels because then it will be raided after people read this blog..Truth be told i once vomited after seeing their condition...Even the floors are full of mud water that you would be forced to pull up you pants and then enter the dreaded area.
Getting to the mess frankly speaking i was never an admirer of the food...To even add to the frustration was the extreme worse condition in which the hygiene of the mess is maintained...now i dont expect the quality to be high class but at least you can make an effort to keep the flies of the table..frankly speaking the institue should take a step towards the health of the students..after all at a place of national emminence you dont expect to get succh services as far as sanitation facilities and food hygiene are concerned...
i along with hundreds of others are of the view that they should be given at least proper facilities to study in a healthy environment....

the fastest man in water
1972 Munich Olympics - Mark Spitz creates history by wearing 7 highly deserved and a million's worth Olympic gold medals around his neck. History was made as viewers around the world saw an era in the making. The world gasped in awe as this athelete broke all barrieres to clasp 7 medals in a single games. No one ever imagined that this record could ever be broken until prehaps a few more decades...
2008 Beijing Olmypics - 36 years down the time line;Already hailed as the Mark Spitz of the new generation Michael Phelps was being claimed to be the man who could at least equal Spitz's record of 7 gold medals in a single games,set aside breaking it.little did anyone know that he would re-write history by breaking the record and claiming not 6,not 7 but 8 beauties only to be crowned as the new Aqua Gladiator as newspapers around the globe proclaim him.
Phelps total Olympic career puts him at the 2nd spot with 16 medals to his credit-14 gold and 2 bronze.He is behind Soviet gymnast Larissa Latynina, who won a total of 18 medals (nine gold) spanning three Olympic Games.Phelps' international titles, along with his various world records, have resulted in him being awarded the World Swimmer of the Year Award in 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2007 and American Swimmer of the Year Award in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2007. Phelps has won a total of 48 career medals thus far: 40 gold, six silvers and two bronze. This includes all of the Championships in which he has competed: The Olympics, the World Championships, and the Pan Pacific Championships.
He has already broken 6 world records this Olympics this year and probably many more are yet to come at the next London Olympics scheduled for 2012.Rightly given the title of the Mark Spitz of this era he has been dominating the pools for quite some time now.And at 24 he has a long career ahead of him in which we are yet to see many more stupendous swims from this hell of an athlete...

Vanity: The Devil's Favourite Sin
Al Pacino became quite famous for his role as the Devil in the flick The Devil’s Advocate. His one liner-vanity, my favourite sin is still pretty much famous among his fans and all those who admire his works. Indeed it is true that half of the world lives on a meal whose chief ingredient still continues to be pride. Everyone at one point of time has a sense of egoism in him. This attitude not only harms him but also his relationship with his peers and others who know him hereby leading him to a feeling of insecurity. Being a student myself i have experienced this phenomenon hundreds of times. Its common at this age when you see your peers or in most cases yourself boasting about how you managed to crack 100% in a maths paper or how you won that gold medal in the debate competition.
It’s true that everyone has a level of egoism in them. Especially at this stage when there is so much competition among student; as well as pressure from parents children are bound to boast of their success. To some extent it relieves a child of some stress which he developed t his house where his parents are continuously scolding him for missing out the 1st rank in his class. Students for whom egoism becomes a permanent trait are generally loathed by the society. His peers start to think of him as selfish and one who is solely bothered with his own success and can be selfish to that extent that he may not even help his friends. To cite an example one of my friends of my school days was highly talented and was top of the class every time. But his nature of looking down upon everyone and proclaiming every other second none in the class could be beat him turned out to be so poisonous that he turned into a social outcast. Every day you could see him sitting at one corner having his lunch with no one bothered a bit.
What students need to realize that they may be talented but when they talk of their feats in front of others those who are not the top brass of the class they are taken in the wrong sense. But why limit ourselves to only students. Even parents nowadays are no less. You can clearly see a mother talking how her son or daughter stood first in some odd competition and was congratulated by the principal. Nowadays parents are more hurt by their child’s failure more than the child itself. They believe that their child’s academic performance is their status symbol in the society. What parents fail to understand is that by forcing upon the child to perform beyond his capacity they are indirectly distancing themselves from their children.
Egoism is one of the worst traits a person can have. If it comes out of its dormant stage then it turns out to extremely dangerous for the host. There is nothing better than being modest and certainly becoming egoistic is bound to lead you into deep waters.
After all Pride Hath A Fall.....
