An Open Letter to …
Posted on Jun 26th, 2009
… respected, rare, dear, dearest couples who stroll ‘IIIT-H’ campus.
This comes from the bottom of my heart, overcoming all fears.
The weather here in Hyderabad in June certainly does a ‘in your face’ to that of Switzerland, Bahamas and Bangalore-everday-at-6-in-the-evening. Cool breeze starts at around 5:45 in the evening triggering an event of multiple-somany smses/missed-call from GH to OBH/NBH (we are still investigating a couple of cases of nasty/dirty-language missed calls exchanged within OBH).
This great USP apart from all the satellite glory the college received followed by a fictional piece attracts super-duper-interns to the campus. “Voila ! its that time of the year to take a little trip down south or not so south, IIIT-H. Yipee lets catch that internship and make the summer worthwhile. Tu na apni wo bakwas wali top rakh lena, aur tu apni jhand wali jeans mat bhoolna”
Well so we have our own in-house development of couples which is bottlenecked due to lack of fairer sex and during this beautiful time of the year, when interns arrive in pairs and certainly in most cases with a third wheel, campus turns into one of those “children parks in delhi” full of “chad gaya upar re, love birds’, radiating the feeling of “dil garden garden ho gaya” !
The only issue is, I would some day poop my pants when I hear something out of the vaccum, AGAIN. Good God, how bad is the choice of spots you people pick. How bloody bad. Folks, please use a map or I believe if you check out Google Earth you may as well find the campus marked with all the PMCs, “Piya Milan Chowks”.
Couples, we all knew that the campus will be crowded with all kinds of people in summer, and that is why we give you the brand new skeleton of the new main-building to be used, yes, all for you, only if they cud have got the walls done, I would have shouted from the top of the same building “get a room u two or three, whatever suits you”. BTW do not be bothered with those “No Trespassing, Building under construction” signs, ignore it just like the people who are using it as a parking lot do.
I am not complaining, I was just scared beyond repair. Firstly the freaking suicidal frogs jump right under your feet, spilling the hot hot tea over your hands + you looking like a fool. In a scenario like this, on an empty road, at 9:30ish post dinner, the next thing which happens is the sound of giggling from somewhere so close, I might have as well stepped on their toes but couldn’t see. (I am sure some smart ass must be thinking : Sale pyaar andha hota hai ya dekhne wale andhe ho jate hai).
IIIT has a g33ky reputation to be maintained, chances are people will be fresh as a daisy at 9:30 in the evening, shuttling b/w labs and coffee shop. Please avoid thinking the roads adjacent to faculty quarters, will be deserted at such an early hour. Chances are you might as well run into one of the faculty who might not be able to get any sleep and would prefer surfing youtube at his office, which is only unblocked during late hours ( or is it not blocked for the faculty X-( ).
You know what, we love you guys more than you do to each other. You are a heritage to the campus. I am sincerely sorry if I hurt your feelings. Please take it in the right spirit, or may I say right spots.
PS : I am totally expecting one of those ‘you-are-so-jealous-and-frustrated’ comment, so please don’t disappoint me.
