BETRAYED
Just heard the news about about our so honorable education minister being invited for convocation at our alma mater!! Talk of betrayal ... Homer couldn't have possibly found a better example!!
As shocked as I was at this psychophancy, I still can't quite believe the decision!! Over and above that it first has to be approved by a host of administrative big heads ... the supposed administrators of IIT Kgp - kind of makes it even more incredulous!!
When students across the nation are trying to ensure that India's future remains unharmed, we the cream of the nation sit aloof thinking of silent protests, online petitions and the greater good of remaining on good terms with our administration. Granted, its a sensible and rationial approach, but only when "the administrators" deserve that. This single act has taken away any faith I had in the institute authorities. Rage, betrayal, humiliation are among some of the feelings in me at the moment. The proudest moment in your life, spoilt by a group of "ever so caring" individuals who think of nothing better than the students' good ... dedicated to serving the students!! Personally, I would have found the humble yet honest postman in the Indian Postal Service a better person to receive my degree from than our (OH!!) so high profile honorable chief guest!!
Or maybe the our wonderful authorities wanted to call him over to show student solidarity against the proposed policy by giving the students a chance to organize a mass boycott!! Hah ... wishful thinking, dude !!
For the 1st time in my life, have I felt ashamed to be a Kgpian ... can only hope it will be the last!!

Interesting....
:-/
it sux, I agree
if tht quota is imposed on IIT's i would never like to b called as n IITian:)...bout our kgp janta...the always want to do some bakchodi but not something which is related to their identity
i had filled out the degree in absentia form due to uncertainities of leave availability...
i am really happy not to have to go recieve my degree from this person.
@ all - this is probly the worst decision i have ever seen in my life in kgp!! even convo being held a yr late due to MMJ was far far better!!
@psycho - i guess circumstances worked very well to ur favor!!
@vampi - cant agree more on that with u ... every time u say ur an iit-ian the first thing someone will look at u n think is ... "hmmm ... quota ya nehi!?!??"
or they will think quota or Kota ya nahi?
@Kaps - LOL!! :))
