THE ALLIANCEBringing NSIT Together

Edition 24.1 August 2018 www.alliancensit.com

It is an immense pleasure to welcome another lot of en-thusiastic fucchas, all shin-ing with a glitter of hope. It is unreasonable for any senior to not envisage their first days of college during this very special time of the year. Congratulations on making it through the hard-est working days of your life. The curiosity and ambitions characterize the mental state of every fresher out there. We can promise that the college will be a unique blend of all these experi-ences knit together into loads of bittersweet memo-ries, that will be simply un-forgettable. Be ready for a bunch of ‘Friends’ and other popular TV show’s refer-ences throughout your un-dergraduate life.

Do you feel overwhelmed about the idea of having to leave your home, adjusting with new people, no longer being on the top rung of class results, or letting go of your cute little fluffy pet and homecooked food?

But you don’t need to be overwhelmed at all. While things will change fast in college, with cycles of strikingly different experi-ences railing up one after another, it is important to be consciously aware that they will all (un)fortunate-ly pass away. We sincerely

hope that this very curat-ed and highly opinionated upon edition will give you satisfying, albeit generic answers to almost all your questions. Starting off, here is a set of points from your wise seniors, that should help you get started on the right path.

Explore away! There are infinitely many interesting activities going on around the campus (and outside of it), in the various societies, classrooms, can-teens and hostels. Do not miss out on the chance to be a part of any of them if you are genuinely interest-ed. After all, it is probably the last time you will ever get a chance to be part of something you really enjoy.

Trust your guts!As the wise old men call it, “Suno Sabki, Karo khud ki”. Do not to fall blindly for oth-ers’ advice. When you come across someone highly per-suasive, be conscious to the fact that your life decisions are yours to make. Don’t let go of your passion or un-dermine your goals due to seemingly harmless peer pressure. You are in much better control of what hap-pens next, if you row your own boat.

Balance!This point is merely an alias for an otherwise easy to

overlook statement, “Please don’t overlook your aca-demics”. A not-so-decent GPA will leave you void of virtually all the exciting op-portunities promised by the top colleges. A not-so-de-cent attendance will possi-bly risk all your dreams. The good part is, these require-ments are rather painless to fulfil. For most subjects, getting a decent GPA does not require a major invest-ment of time or effort.However, clogging in hours a day on your study desk is also not the most recom-mended strategy, unless you wish to be the topper at the MIT class of 2024.

Accept Responsibility!As you venture into adult-hood and college, you will be more responsible for your actions than ever be-fore. You will also have a lot more freedom than you ever did. Consequences and rewards similarly in-crease multifold. Do not be surprised at not getting an entry to the hostel, thanks to those five extra minutes you spent at the IGDTUW fest.

Stay Connected!Colleges are made by the students they house. And we have some of the most brilliant minds, and the most friendly communities you will come across. Be sure to reach out to your

colleagues, seniors, (even-tual) juniors and professors whenever you want help. A close professional and per-sonal network goes a long way. Fall!Yes, please do. The harder you fall, harder is the impact and harder is your resolve to not fall again.

And Get Up!Cry out for a minute or just slap yourself for falling down (Bhaag Milkha Bhaag style). But once you are done, dust yourself off and move on.

Invest in yourself!Find some time to meditate, go for a short jog, forgive others, forgive yourself, ask your crush out. No skill you learn at such an age will ever go waste. Go through some MOOCs, learn to cook, play the guitar, learn Latin, or fi-nally read a book through. College is about readying yourself well enough for the rest of life.

We have a lot in store for you. The rest of this edition is much more specific to life at NSIT – the place where you will achieve the bright-est of successes and the darkest of failures imagin-able in the next four years.

NSIT GO

Welcome to the college that seems huge initially but gets smaller, almost exponential-ly as the months progress. Initially, I used to open Goo-gle Maps to navigate inside the campus. In retrospect I probably looked like a cra-zy tourist roaming around, bumping into people whilst my nose was buried deep into my phone. You might as well be doing a lot of bump-ing around initially, so it prob-ably is a good idea for you to get acquainted with the map. Figure out all the interesting spots you want to hit and which all areas to avoid.

NSIT’s guitarGuitar dekhliya is the first question that every senior will probably ask you on the first day. Everyone will try their level best to hype it up as one of the greatest things on campus. Try not to get too worked up or you are just setting yourself up for disap-pointment. When you stand at the edge of administration

block’s terrace, you’ll notice that the roadway leading to the block has been so con-structed that it resembles the shape of a guitar. It’s impres-sive but only if you didn’t have any expectations.

Witch LaneHonestly, I don’t know who came up with the name but if you expect to find something actually spooky here, you’ll be left sorely disappointed. The only things waiting for you back here are the pesky mos-quitoes, insects and snakes, if you’re really lucky.

Lovers’ Lane This place needs no explana-tion. All the information you need is right there in the ti-tle itself. This lane, near the sports stadium, is frequently visited by couples to whom preferred drug of choice is love.

Central FountainThe first thing everyone no-tices is the exquisite piece of

architecture, centrally locat-ed and aptly named, which al-most immediately is followed by questions on when does it start operating. Don't pin your hopes on ever seeing the fountain work because it probably won't, even after you've graduated.

Connecting Block Terrace (CBT)This terrace, connecting the ECE and COE block, provides haven to almost all societies. Debsoc’s heated group dis-cussions taking place at one corner and dance practices of Capella and Mirage on the other make CBT a pretty hap-pening place.

Nescii LawnsYou’ll probably be spending more time in these lawns than in any of your class-rooms. Be it any free peri-od, mass bunk or just a get together with your friends, Nescii lawns are where you’ll eventually land. Just sit back and relax under the shade

of trees as you contemplate your ever-so-low attendance in every lecture.

They say that you’ll be spend-ing the best four years of your life here. Honestly that's debatable and subjective, but the important thing to re-member is that you are in col-lege now. Unwind and relax a little. It’s okay to let go a little, you just got here. Take in the sights, get used to breathing the polluted air and meeting new people, but don’t let go to the extent that you can't catch up. Studies and fun are supposed to go hand in hand, but to be honest, the scales are always tipping to-wards one side and you can probably guess which one. Just don’t forget why you came here; to make friends with people who make a jour-ney through this hell bear-able and once you’ve been through hell together, there’s nothing that can break this bond!

Surviving the day-to-day college ordeals can be quite a task and very often you find yourself embarrassingly clean-bowled. For days like these, we bring to you the revolutionary theory of J.U.G.A.D (Just Understand the Gimmicks of Adversity Dealing) using simple apps that will save your college life from turning into a catastrophic derision!

1001: Shutting up a gabby goon who blabbers incessantly Next time you are caught up in an in-finite loop of pointless words, switch on the ‘Talking Tom’ app and let Tom do

the talking. The chirpy cat imitates the spoken sylla-bles in an amusing way creating a chucklesome envi-ronment and at the same time, subtly signalling the person to keep calm!

1002: Retrieving your lent money from a ‘Chindi’ friendJust hand over your phone to your friend and knowingly make it drop. As you reach out for it, turn on the ‘Crash

My screen’ app and Bazinga! Take advantage of your upper hand!

1003: For your unregretful, soberly drunk nights Ever regretted calling your ex the last time you got bhand? Ever thought that your friends would be just responsible

enough to not let you text your ex? ‘Drunk Mode’ lets you block ‘those’ contacts that you could possibly drunk call/text the next time you decide to let go of your senses and will ensure that you won’t have to wake up in regret that you called and proposed to your ex again. (sigh!)

1004: Evading an irksome friend who says “Bhai Party?” with every breath you take. We all have that one friend who per-sistently nags us for free treats and lives

off our money. Teach him a lesson by tricking him into a virtual party at an address generated by the app ‘Places I’ve pooped’ (that evidently does what it says) for a scrumptious (rather, poopalicious) treat!

1005: Chucking out the fake fawning foe from your room (life) If you all have that annoying friend who keeps visiting your room and hogging on your cherished homemade snacks,

use the ‘Ghost Sensor’ app that detects ‘spirits’ on the basis of Electromagnetic Waves and scare the daylights out of that guy. Keep repeating the Para-normal activity in your room to ensure that he won’t trace his footsteps back to your room.

1006: So that you don't miss out on the ‘pee’nnacle of the movie Imagine you are in the middle of a long-awaited movie and you receive a call that you cannot decline-the nature’s

call! Interval seems too far and a pause button (to both) unreachable. In such a million dollar dilemma, ‘PeeRun’ app comes to your rescue! It tracks your movie and lets you know when can you sneak-out without missing on any major scene. A win-win deal, for sure?

1007: To steer clear of the charges of a gory murderThere are times when you are so pissed at someone that you feel like recreating WWF and smacking them right in their

face. To vent out your uncontrollable rage, download the ‘Punch Hit Meter' app and let off steam without worrying about any of the dire consequences!

1008: For possibly anything and ev-erything that requires an escape The ‘Fake Excuses’ app is definitely a must-have because it's totally worth it. For situations when you run out of ex-

cuses and your creativity nears a sad end, open this up and smoothly charm your way out!

This tested theory of J.U.G.A.D. shall lay the foundation of your survival for the next 4 years of college, for NSIT is a place where wildlife isn’t the only thing you have to protect yourself against.

Geetanjali KumarCollege Counselor, NSIT

I feel I would have to manage everything on my own. It seems impossible. How would be able to do that?Growing up calls for better self management skills. Learning to manage oneself is a very major milestone in an individual’s life. Congratulate yourself at having arrived at that stage of de-velopment. You will gradually learn the means and ways to do it. Your college faculty, your seniors and the college counsellor are always here to guide and facilitate this process for you.

This college was never my first choice, but I feel I don’t have a choice. We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand. So be happy with the opportunities you’ve been given and make the best out of them.

I have no liking for the stream I have been given/allotted or opted for.Feel free to consult the faculty and seniors to know more about your stream, it’s curriculum, applications and arrive at a logical understanding.

I don’t think I can share a room with some-body in the Hostel.Develop a comfort zone. Hostel life definitely has its challeng-es, but it plays an essential role in helping one grow and de-velop holistically.

I wonder how I will make new friends here. Follow the basic rules of making friends and initiating friend-ships. Be pleasant and courteous with your classmates. Don’t hesitate in greeting them. Initiate small conversations candid-ly. Ask and offer help, company, advice as and when required and gradually you will be able to develop friendships. Don’t have too many expectations from people. Be realistic and non

judgemental in your attitude.

It is difficult staying without parents.Indeed it is. But all are part of growing up. Parents are defi-nitely our anchors in life. But for our growth and progress children definitely have to move away from them physically. The modern ways of means and technology have definitely spanned the physical distance and facilitated easy connec-tions which you too can enjoy and benefit from.

I am used to studying with help of coaching institutes. I don’t know how I’ll be able to manage here without tuitions? Seek guidance and help from your teachers and seniors. You can benefit from the tips and suggestions that your seniors may have to offer to you. All of us have high abilities to un-learn, learn and relearn as per the needs and demands of the time. Growing up independently means carving out oneself and nurturing one’s abilities and habits.

I was a star kid at my school. Will I be the same here? That would definitely call for honest hardwork and an honest realisation that the sky is full of very many stars. Each star shines with its own brilliance. So don’t be amazed if your class has many star kids like you. Experience and appreciate each other and benefit from each other’s experience.

What if I am not happy here?Please don’t be in a hurry to decide this. Try and take more time to arrive at this decision. Please discuss this matter with your seniors or the college counsellor in detail so that the rea-sons of your discomfort can be specifically addressed to help you feel happy here.

Hey, you. No, not you. Yeah, you! Now that you have arrived at the hidden kingdom of NSIT, you must be in dire need of advice from someone who’ll tell you the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

So, what’s the most appealing aspect about college? College life, right? And college life is not just something that’s strictly restricted to what you do inside the campus but it might just be the exact opposite for many of you. The Alli-ance's editorial team is here with a definitive guide to everything you can do outside the campus which can save the time of idly lying down on your bed and needlessly introspecting without actually coming up with a plan.

Popular Places

Explore the far-off land of DwarkaThere is definitely more to Dwarka than what meets the eye. The first thing that you’ll find on your journey will cer-tainly be The Chill Point or “Khoka”, situated at just a 5-minute walk from college’s north gate. It’s the place to be if you’re looking for an in-tellectual conversation or just some casual fun talk while having the famous “ban-ta”. Looking for lip-smacking snacks (especially Momos) or a chilled drink, you should unquestionably offer a visit to the markets of sectors 4, 5 and 7. The sector 12 food court has become a new fa-vourite among the students for a delightful outing to get away from a monotonous day at college. How can one talk about Dwarka and not men-tion sector 14? Well, the place right beside the metro station

has McDonalds which attracts a plethora of crowd at any giv-en time of the day. Want to see it for yourself? Then, start exploring today.

Broaden your Horizons Many of you would’ve tried to rebrand your image in the hol-idays but none of you did any-thing for your soul, right? Well, nothing’s better for your soul than some quality time spent with friends. There are many great places for your hang-out memoirs in the vicinity of Dwarka. Pacific Mall (Subhash Nagar) boasts of a great food court, a budget cinema hall for all broke hostellers and many other opportunities for having fun. And if this is not the right choice for you, then there are also many eye-catching bistros in Rajouri Garden and Punjabi Bagh for you to have some fun-filled memories with your friends.

Direct Metro connectivity from Dwarka Mor does make these options a fine choice for hostellers and day-skis alike. The eternal Connaught Place with an array of Bohemian restaurants is always there to surprise anyone who wants to live life to its fullest!

Back to the HostelNow, let's get back to the real monotonous world, where most of the times you'll try not to leave the comfort of your uncomforting hostel room. Luckily, in such times you can use Zomato, Swiggy, Food-panda and Faasos to keep your mind and hunger sat-isfied. Amazon, Flipkart, and torrent have made life much easier for all the bibliophiles because of their (un)timely doorstep delivery. And if you don't want to burn a hole in your pocket then there's al-ways the hostel library and

canteen for you.

Bust the StressBy the end of the semester, most of you will be looking for something new. Well, vaca-tions always call for the per-petually delayed Goa plans and the soul-searching trips to the barren mountains of Ladakh. Treks in Triund, Tosh, and Kheerganga are extreme-ly prevalent among students nowadays. You'll find the se-rene landscapes from Kasol, Manali and Mcleodganj on ev-eryone's Instagram and snap-chat story during these days.

Try to live these best days of your life with your friends, forging numerous memories along the way that'll last with you for a lifetime. With so many choices, it’ll definitely be a tough time deciding what to do!

BOOKING SUCCESSFUL

Dear Hosteller, we await to host you for confirmed booking NSIT2022 at NSIT Hostel, Azad Hind Fauj Marg, Sector-3 Dwar-ka.

Looking for a home away from home? A sorority that shares your disdain for engineering? A dwelling that enables you to get up at 9:55 for a 10 AM class? If yes, then you have made the

indubitable choice. From gate-crashing Dwarka weddings to logistical night-outs during fests, from hurtling towards hostel to reach before curfew timings to spending the twilight hours

gallivanting the alleys of Delhi. These four years will witness the forging of infrangible bonds, countless memories and anec-dotes that will make your dayski friends reek of covetousness.

Amenities

Sports facilities - Badminton Court & TT Tables

Newspaper delivery

Terms & Conditions

Carry your hostel ID card at all times, misplacement of which can lead to preposterous fines and severe discomfort!

Mess FoodPrepare to bid adieu to the com-fort of ghar ka khaana, for the same will be reduced to a dear memory during your stay here. Sometimes, you may feel for-tuitous that the dal served isn’t just yellow water when you hear of other hostel’s food. Hold your horses right there! For the hos-tels here too boast of their share of inedible food often serving devilish cuisines such as lobhiya aloo and gatte ki sabzi. Wednes-days, however, are delightful when somewhat better (read: edible) food is ladled out with complimentary ice-cream. Hos-tels are very particular about mess timings; hence we counsel stocking up on kettle or induc-tion cooker and a handpicked collection of instant, long lasting food items to quench those mid-night cravings.

WifiWifi facility is at one’s disposal 24×7 in all hostels. With surfing speeds of 20-30 Mbps, intro-verts no longer need to interact

with other living creatures lurk-ing in the hostel, be it humans or otherwise. One may en-counter periodic snags in using Whatsapp and Torrents which can be easily circumvented through VPNs (writer’s recom-mendation: www.justfreevpn.us). One can also opt for an in-ternet connection from Excitel and Cat broadband with offers ranging from ₹300 to ₹1000 per month and an initial installation cost of ₹1200. With features such as quick installation, on-line recharge facility and speeds ranging from 10-100 Mbps, we guarantee negligible lag during those late night Counter Strike sessions.

Air ConditionersBereft of any air conditioning provisions, all boys hostels and GH-I can be a tormentous ex-perience if you are accustomed to lazing out nights under the chilly drifts of an AC. Ergo, we advocate purchasing a cooler to make the summers physically sustainable.

GH-II is an Arcadia where triple sharing air-conditioned rooms are accessible for the female ghissus. Be credulous, for only the cremé de la cremé get ac-commodations here. You can spot them studying perpetually not for a good GPA, but to with-hold their dwellings in this bliss-ful hostel.

Hostel StaffPutting shame to the bureau-cratic torpidness of even gov-ernment offices, the hostel caretakers are one of the most obnoxious species you’ll ever confront. These faithful aides to the wardens with their inexpli-cable rules and orthodox men-tality are oddly one of the most eminent people here. However, the rest of the staff is pretty am-icable and accessible. Further-more, we advice all hostellers to pay close attention to all rules & regulations and tips of sur-vival from seniors to make their transition into this ‘wild life’ a smooth one.

Curfew TimingsOperating under the premise that students taking admission in NSIT are recreant juveniles and it is their onus to sculpt them into gentlemen and ladies, the hostel administration runs an arduous schedule when it comes to curfew timings. For occupants of BH-4, the timings start from 7 PM that perceptibly increases to 9:30 PM. In the en-suing years, there are implicitly no limitations on hostel timings. Dolefully, for girls, it will contin-ue to be 9:30 PM till the end of time. Female residents should note that exiting out of hostel when leaving either for return-ing home or a night out is man-datory. You are rewarded with a fine of ₹500 every time you for-get to do so.

Living on your own in a strange place may seem to be an up-hill task but at the end of these four years, you’ll be taking back a suitcase full of bittersweet memories. Welcome aboard!

College Expectations vs Reality

Boys checklist:

1. A perfume with a 2 Km Radar

2. Over the top English accentZ

3. Fakely authentic brands

Girls checklist:

Perfectly toned abs (tummy tucker)

One day glam face (magic parlour)

One (borrowed) dress per day

Buffered? Now, let’s go!

FIRST DAY"Bhai mera na ek sapna hai..jab hamara college ka pehla din hoga na..dono bhai ghode pe jayegen college..tu safed ghode pe, mai kale pe.”

Your Ghoda is going to be more like an e-rickshaw and that grandiose entry that'll make people ‘Stop and stare’ boils down again to just a sapna. The only person who is obligated to ‘stop you’ and ‘stare’ is the watchman un-til you quench his eyes with your college I-card.

This is the only day when the (non-existent) magnificence of this place seems to pique your interest and everything seems rosy like a Karan Johar movie. Time slows down as the signature tunes play in the backdrop as you flick your Rapunzel-esque hair and everyone seems to go gaga over you! Day one makes you want to doll up like a diva. But with every subsequent day, the gusto to ‘dress up and show up' manifests a whop-ping decline till you reach a point where night suits and pyjamas seem a more com-fortable option to you. The

transition from overdressed to underdressed to IDGAF (I don't get any fashion) hap-pens before you even know it!

On the very first day of your college life, you meet a lot of new people, only to pass awkward smiles with and give free tutorials to aptly pro-nounce your quirky name.

CAMPUS AND FOOD JOINTS Of all the things we cannot boast about, this is definitely NOT one of those. Our cam-pus is a humongous forest turned college, exclusively featuring peacock picnics and occasional visits by our esteemed exotic guests, say a petite Monitor Lizard, for starters. Even though we could swank about our four elaborate canteens, we don’t (read: we can't). Our menus massively lack diversity and cater to a common staple dish called “The Disappoint-ment”. So, if you are one of those who dedicates “All of me“ to Chicken Biryani or wakes up only when it's food o'clock, then you should prob-ably consider hibernation or start a campaign featuring

#ProjectRelocateTomUncle

But, strictly for auditive plea-sure, we've got KFC! (which in our native language trans-lates to Khan Fruit Corner). Don't judge us! And for the days when our hunger pangs turn obnoxiously obstinate, we resolve to “Tan-Tana-Tan Tan-Tan-Tara, chalti hai Kya (sector) 9 se 12?”

Not to forget are our ‘class-rooms’, which have apparent-ly become a hopeless search mission for the impalpable ‘class’ factor. Nevertheless, it wouldn’t matter because you’d be chucked out from the door itself anyhow!

LOVE LIFE “Jab Lucky ko pyar hoga na, toh saare college mein violins bajenge “

Let's accept it, neither are you Lucky, nor are you lucky. Yes, you’ll fall in love (everyday with a new person), but let’s face it, peppy music, coor-dinated back-dancers, flow-ery showers, perfectly timed rains - are nothing short of childhood deceptions and another of those only on-

screen things. (Sigh!)

You’ll find an ample amount of greenery in the campus, but not exactly the kind you were really looking for. (Spe-cial condolences to Mechan-ical guys for whom NSIT dis-guises as FSIT - Forever Single Institute of Technology)

The conscientious efforts you’ve put in precisely count-ing the number of girls in your class may outshine your dedication for JEE, but all of it succumbs to a common end result - a bummer! Beware: NSIT has a special quota for unisex name-hold-ers!

F.R.I.E.N.D.S Here you learn the real meaning of both “Dosti Ki Hai...Nibhani To Padegi” and “Dost, Dost Na Raha.”

From being the Karan to his Arjun, risking your own at-tendance for his proxy, con-spiring against that grouchy teacher, planning mass-bunks, accomplishing sneak-ins from the backdoor, and exhausting your ATM, you re-alise that friendship has

more to it than what appears on the surface.

A zany thing about NSIT cul-ture is that every friend circle has people who share com-mon names - Ghissu (The Nerd), Chindi (The broke), and Saanp (Someone who pro-fesses of failing the entire se-mester but ends up passing so marginally that he manag-es to top! )

ACADEMIA “Life at NSIT is all about eat, sleep, chill, and repeat” said no guy ever. As much as you relish the newfound inde-pendence, you soon realise that your independence is multi-dimensionally depen-

dant on a beast called atten-dance! Signboards like ‘Flat 75 % off ‘ or ‘75 Km to Delhi’ can leave any NSITian exultantly triggered. Detention spells as 74.99. Now you know why!

The exam season brings no relief because cajoling the lab assistant, pampering the ghissu and dedicatedly de-voting study leaves to farre, all prove to be fruitless. Apart from the syllabus, the one thing you need to know about is: “‘Nothing is constant’ is a blatant lie”, as quoted by the motivational speaker dubbed as ‘Low Grades’.

Another thing that you will never find on the campus is

an imitation of “jahanpanah tussi great ho tofa kabul karo”, not because we’ve taken ‘say no to ragging’ too seriously, but because your GPA would eventually make you take your pants off!

The college makes sure that you experience fests, just not as many as you’d expect-ed and not exactly as you’d dreamt it. Your mega-sen-sational all-night party ter-minates with a wee letter ‘w’ (curfew!)

The sheer sense of euphoric happiness that an unexpect-ed happening brings to you is boundlessly larger than the contentment of a fulfilled ex-

pectation. And these are defi-nitely the moments we live for!

For all of us, in our mini cin-ematic world, somewhere between anticipations of cli-max and despondence of anticlimax, a blissful thing called college charismatically happens. Be it the adorable pair of ‘Rahul-Anjali’, the at-tention-seeking ‘Shanaya’, the dweeby crybaby ‘Chatur’ or the super cranky VIRUS, every batch has their share of tales, bloopers, re-takes, remakes and the much-awaited ‘To be continued’!
