Of Mangalore and other things

I had been to Surathkal yesterday to get admission. The problem with NITK, Surathkal is that being Karnataka's best Engineering college, it's infrastructure is worse than some of the local Bangalore colleges. The hostels aren't very nice, especially considering that three, in a single room too, is a crowd.

Mangalore is a wierd place. I'd been to a Bharat mall and noticed that while the girls are very stylish(dress-wise), the boys were, well, pretty boring. Another thing about Mangalore is that stuff always smells. That's probably because of the humidity and so un-ventilated areas smell. It's nauseating.

I took a 'Special Rajasthani Thali' and it was horrid. There was enough oil in it to power a small city for a day and enough tastelessness to paralyse an American(their food is tasteless too). I was stunned when a family sitting next to us just ate up the whole damn thing. I ate only curd rice and still felt like puking. If Pilani has food like this I'll pass even if they offer me money to come there.

Dude, one thing I have noticed with some govt. colleges (NIT's and a few others) is that their infrastuture sucks !!! (As you already mentioned)
I don't know why... may be they are to happy with their reputation or smthg else.....wot say ?

As far as I have seen, Mangalore produces damn stylish gals, and extremely brilliant guys....itz something with the place.

And Rajasthani Thali....that too "special" in Mangalore??

Nothing is good there except those banana chips...

A friend of mine had bugged me for nearly two weeks last july.
Reason : he was scared to death looking at the NITK hostels.we were planning to find a place outside the campus to stay after getting the permission required.
but i decided to do what almost every nitkian does-stay in the hostels.
And the first year there has been the best in my entire life.With lots of beaches around....too many events....awesome places to visit like st.mary's island....manipal with good babes....etc etc etc......all in all....its a really GREAT place...

Even if it was not(just from the point of view of some dumb ass),as you said..

" But scum who feel that they are good will perfectly enjoy their life no matter how terrible it is in other people's point of view."

I hope you have REALISED this PROFOUND thing...

anyway jetru....come here...lets see what you're made of...

with L-O-V-E,
your senior.
