I am loving it!

I am famous... and how!!!

It all started one fine day with me and a senior talking about counter strike (for the uninitiated it is a computer game, a kind of strategy-team game but in a first person shooter mode which makes it even better). Our computer labs are all connected in a LAN and the seniors had installed counter strike in 6 of their PCs and used to play every night at around 8. They used to erase the log records later so no one knew we were playing CS. And so it happened that i got an invitation from them to come over in their lab at night around 8 and play counter strike. So far so good. The next evening as they started playing they called me in... so i went and joined them. We were playing the Dima map in a 3 on 2 configuration and i am pretty pleased to inform that i was a pretty good player there and was 2nd in scores. Now that evening i had seen our Director ma'm leave for home in her car. It was 8:40 in the night, all my friends had gone for dinner but I was in the MSc 2 lab playing counter strike and then from behind enters none other than the Director of the institute Dr Mrs UKK.... OOOOOPPPSS...and a big one at that...

Mera to major **** jaam ho gaya.... Picture this: I am 3rd ranker in the entrance, the CR of the class, on pretty good terms with all profs and office people on account of me being CR, I had just been offered a project in statistics just that morning from the stats prof. and i am the only junior in the MSc 2 lab playing CS. It hasnt even been one complete month since i have joined (Course started on 21st july and its 21st august that day...night 8:40, so the month hasnt even properly ended yet...) and i am in deep deep shit!!!

Now that i blog i am feeling okok but then i was majorly f***ed up man, majorly. She asked us to send her an email saying we were caught playimg games and with our names and role numbers... and in that email i am the only one with a MSc 1 tag....makes me kinda conspicuous!! Anyways...so i went back to hostel room pretty shaken... and wondering at the unreality of it all... finally i called up JD just to tell some one the muck (m may be replaced freely with an f) i was in. He told me to ask the seniors now what to do...so at 1030 in d night i went to my seniors hostel... and talked to him... and mind u the seniors are also major pahucha hua log...one was a topper, the other is an expert programmer and the third had a project in NCCS under him...and me the 4th (nothing distinguishes me :-( )

So Deepak and Diggy told me dont worry, we'll tke all the blame and tell the director that i wasnt involved and that they had called me... i said ok... I asked him what was the worst that could happen to me. He said that there may be a call to my home...oops, 2: the lab will be closed early...oops for people who dont have a lappy, and a bad impression... some how i am used to that1. So i hoped that may be ghar pe call nahi jaana chahiye cause then mera laptop idhar laane ka chace will tend towards 0....

Anyways... next day... a duble lecture of...yeah u got it...THE DIRECTOR HERSELF... Being the CR i had already announced what had happened and my role in it, and where i expected blame i got the "whats-with-boys-and-CS" look..but no animosity. COOL. THE direcctor mentioned the incident only obliquely and didnt mention my role in it or address me personally. Later i asked the seniors what had happened and they said that they told ma'm i wasnt involved and that she had told them "dont spoil your juniors!!"
ous
We got a formal notice from ma'm that the labs will be closed at 630 in the evening and will remain closed on sundays and holidays....OK.

Now...i became an instant celebrity... all seniors started acknoledging me as they passed by, people were like, yeh banda seniors ke saath CS khelte pakda gaya!!! wow!! YAAAAyyyyyyyyy.....
Everyone from my librarian (who is really really good) to office staff asked me how the hell did i get into it.... well wheres CS theres me!!! not that i told them this but believe me i am a pretty known face now....and contrary to my expectations the stats sir is still pretty much into me doing a project with him and my relations with all faculty is pretty good except ofcourse the DIRECTOR!!

Thats ok.... I act professionally in her lectures, do my CR duties as nothing had happened (did anything happen??? :-) ) and keep my interactions with her as less as possible and everyones happy!!!

Moral of the story....CS rocks!!!!
