उसकी आँखों मे नमी थी

उसकी आँखों मे नमी थी
उसकी खामोशी में दॅद का एहसास था
होठों पर कोई अनकही दासतान थी
दिल में गम का तूफान था
हर गुजरते पल के साथ
उसकी सांसे बोझल हो रही थी
एक पल ऎसा लगा जैसे
रूह भी उसकी रो रही थी
जाने कौन सा दॅद दिल में समाकर
वो निकला था मुLकुराने के लिए
खुद बाती बुझाकर जैसे निकला हो
अंधेरा मिटाने के लिए
बात कया है उससे पूछूँ
इतनी मुझमें हिEमत न थी
बात कया है वो बता दे
ऐसी उसकी फितरत न थी
उसकी खामोशी मुझे
उससे दूर कर रही थी
अब तो कदमों की आहट भी
शोर कर रही थी
जाने कया बात थी
वो खुद से लड़ रहा था
इतनी भीड़ में भी जैसे
तनहा ही चल रहा था
सUनाटे के कोहरे में
हम दोनों खो चुके थे
इतने करीब होकर भी
अजनबी हो चुके थे़

How was technIEEk like

technIEEk is the ultimate experience one can have in BIT. You can find the most cream people of BIT gathered together. The best platform where one can use one’s talents to the fullest. I got to meet the real talents through technIEEk. Not just that, I got to learn more than I have done in past two semesters. The best part is students really put all their efforts and struggle hard to get into the core night of technIEEk, a cherished place to reach.

technIEEk is an assembly of a number of events which can otherwise be called technical games. These games are such that one really wants to put his brains into it. These events are to sharpen one’s mind. The technIEEk’06 had an event called brand image which impressed me the most. A drink was to be launched which had its distinctive features so as to take over coca cola drink. The presentations that were given for launching the drink were commendable.

These presentations were unique in themselves and the event as such was an equipment to take out all the creativity one can have. The coding contest and robocode (coding to make a battle robot) are most interesting ways of testing coding skills. The best part of technIEEk, which people love the most and find most exciting is Blitzkrieg.

There were five events going on all together in five different places. The exciting part is that, the team has to divide its members according to their skills to participate in those events. These constitute number games, vocabulary games, IQ tests and general knowledge tests. technIEEk is something to keep a person busy in something which is productive. Three days of struggle are completed with all the above mentioned events. Now, comes the core night with the top 6 teams performing excellently in the events. This night teams have to prepare a skit to justify their team names which require team work. Other events like spin a yarn, Dumb C, etc are again team events which are a good display of team spirit.

technIEEk is a blend of productive work and enjoyment and one who misses it I feel really loses a great substance in life. Don’t miss it is what only a participant can say. It’s really great that we have technIEEk in Bit. All these and much more is technIEEk which you can get to know only when you form a team and participate in it as a part of the team.

Life In Biotech Department

Hello people,
Loads of people wonder what actually happens in the pompous dept of biotechnology of B.I.T. Mesra looking abominable impassable from a distance. Here's my account.
Lab starts at 8:00 a.m. thereby giving you full freedom to stem from your dreams at 8:30.
People manage to reach the department at around 9:00. Then starts the usual (yawn) "aaj kya karna hai?" We decide what to do by 9:30. Its an autonomous department so the teachers don't decide what you have to do. Work begins by 10:00. It involves staring at senior's samples, admiring an empty flask, complaining about the placement scenario and for the serious ones observing the instruments. Mind it! You cannot touch any instrument. It costs more than 10 lakhs and students cam make even the best quality steel brittle like bone china. So basically you tour the museum called "The Department".This extend till 10:30 when you finally reazlise that you are very hungry & have to leave. Give the attendance and run off fast because the last one gets the gali for not doing any productive work. Losers! We contribute generously one and a half hours of our precious life which can be better utilised in the canteen(if you have cash) or at the I.C.(Onlookers).
Then comes the second half strting at 12:50 (officially) and 1:15 (pragmatically). You need to have a lappie to survive in this highly advanced and technical department. Come early if you have to get the benches near the switchboard. Otherwise you have to relie on the unreliable battery of your lappie. Switch it on (mind you in silent mode or else the teacher might confiscate your lappie to show his slides). Surf on the net & check out the latest technologies in (?) while the teacher continues with his never ending list of his achievements and great contributions to this field. You bloody nobel laureates listen to them and you willl donate your prize out of utmost shame.
Strike 3:00. Come out because the teachers in association with the research scholar and supervised by the "khai ke paan banares wala" H.O.D. have to do top secret research work. They are about to launch the next nucleus bomb (midsem marks, but don't worry bout that coz the dept believes in judging what you know rather than what you do not and everybody knows how to fill in pages of crap shit.)
Now is the most important part. How to embellish your dept. Anybody you meet has to be told, yaar abhi wapas jaana hai. expt chal raha hai. It gives you glory(its an engg college) and saves you from any gureilla attacks on your pocket.
So guys and gals, you have to repent for not being in this dept. Besides the halo on your personality it also gives you decent placements in dream companies like biocon err T.C.S Infosys etc.
So you know how to counsel the 2k7 batch about this dept
HAIL BIOTECH!
