*Personal.
Yeah I admit I have not been blogging much. Anyways, this is a trivial post. I visited an engineering college last week. Now you might say whats so great about that? Especially since there are thousands of (mostly useless) engineering colleges in our country. But then I am writing this just out of fun. Read away: I decided to visit the college canteen at around 3 pm, to have my lunch. The following is the dialogue which took place between me and a man(who takes the order).
I: Excuse me, what is available?
Man(In a Shocked and Bewildered Expression) : You mean to Eat??
I(To Myself): To eat? What do people come to canteen for? Oh I forgot, its for having gossips, spreading rumours, cracking silly jokes, and playing Counter Strike on their laptops(a Team was firing away to my left).
I(aloud): Yes, something to eat. What is available?
Man : I don't know. Let me go inside and check. [Goes inside. I decide to follow him]
[Inside the kitchen]:
Man: Hey, what food is available now?
Cook[With an annoyed and dull expression]: Nothing. Chow is finished, and plates need to be washed.
Man: Oh. Okay. [And walks away without even giving me a second glance]
I go to the man and repeat my question.
Man: Sorry, we do not have anything. Please come back after Half an hour.
[45 mins later]
Man: Sorry, but we only have tea. We are getting the food ready. Cook is chopping vegetables, and is ready to fry pakoras. Please return in an hour.
[One hour later]:
I stand in front of the canteen gate, which has a rusted 'Link' Lock on it.
My Thoughts: @^@#$*^@$^*#@^$*@$^&*...............
Here is another conversation with a student and myself:
Student: Excuse me, you are from which college?
I: ...........
Student: Okay, are you enjoying our Fest?
I: So and so..
Student: Please be frank. The fest is disastrous and boring, is it not?
I: [blank expression]
Student: Would you care to join us for a round of Marijuana?
I: [Shocked, thinking that I had lost my hearing ability] Err, what did you say?
Student: Don't you smoke weed? Want to join us?
I: [recovering somewhat] No, I don't.
Student: [smiles broadly and leaves]
My Thoughts: #@!^&$@!#%$@!^$@&$#@&@$@ ..........................
Needless to say, I had a pretty harrowing experience that day. Anyways you do get to meet and interact(though not always willingly) with different people though.

@Krutika: Lolz, would like to hear some tales of your college. :D
Yep, its a common scenario, throughout the country. Money hungry businessmen are opening colleges in the name of promoting education cum knowledge. Sigh!
