the prophecy
AROUND THE WALLS
-Mandeep Singh, 2nd year, COE
Congratulations! You are finally a DTUite (or a DCEite if you
are anachronistic). As you loiter around the intimidating walls
of the campus for the next few days, you might contemplate
your future and its potential interconnection with these
walls. Worry not, for I have a prophecy to make.
Legend has it, journey for ‘the chosen one’ would not be an
easy one. Of course, letting the cat out of the bag, it would
be full of drudgery and impediments. But it is the solace that
the numerous buildings of the campus would provide, which
will matter. Right from the start, the term ‘SPS’ would remind
you of the exhausting, kilometre-long walk from the campus
gate. That’s not all, if you forget to bring your admit card
and get reminded at the very moment you reach your exam
hall, in a jiffy, you would find yourself in a gaggle of forgetful
undergrads at the Photocopy Shop. Soon, you realise it is
practically impossible to get the job done in time, which
leaves you with the last option, the kilometer-long walk to
Future Point.
When you are done denouncing the broadness of the campus
area, you will find yourself taking a respite at the MiniOAT.
MechC will make you adept in fighting for your rights (read:
orders). Of course you will have learnt this lesson in a year’s
time, and that’s why you will switch to Micmac’s delectable
Rajma Chawal, while Chandan bhaiya might make you realise
the importance of humility. In the later years, when the TnP
building becomes your second home, there will be evenings
when you might find yourself dejected. However, the grin will
return on your face when you will find your friends waiting to
treat you at Nescafe.
Amidst this chaos called Engineering, you will certainly steal
some time and relax on a bench at the OAT, glaring at the
iconic Clock Tower, realizing that the prophecy has indeed,
come true.
