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!
