This is Gangsta sh*t - The unusual begining

Well, what can I say, this blog post was due long back and I believe it is important to understand how the hostel inmates or the student community get along with their social life inside this campus. It took me almost one year to analyse the trends and make a record of them.

So let me not get into more formalities and get to the point straight away. And a warning to everyone, if you think you fit into any one of the descriptions, good for you because I am not taking any responsibilities for your broken feelings and I don't give a rat's ass about your backlashes or the "yeh tereko bahut bhaari padega wala" look.


Gang Name :- The Rostovs

Turf Areas - Food Court

Gang Description

This gang is present in every batch, it has a strength of 30 people to say the least. Usually seen hogging together in the food court, be it breakfast or lunch or dinner, nothing can break this family's will of hogging together.

This gang is easy to spot, if you find a group of clueless people roaming around without knowing where to go after their supper, you have found the Rostovs. This a powerful family and the family members are well protected.

It is nearly impossible to take them on single handedly, so please do it at your own peril.

Known Foes

Generally known for their peace loving ways, they don't have enemies as such. But they generate enemies dynamically when they go together for their midnight coffee, the order usually including 30 coffees and 30 maggies, its a sure thing that everyone else going to food court after that wont find anything.

Gang Name :-  Chirkut Gang

Turf Areas - Hostel Rooms (kahin aur nahi chalti inki)

Gang Description

I am going overboard here by calling them a gang, these gangsters come to life when everyone else is sleeping. Chirkuts can never be seen in the college most of the time as they are confined to their hostel rooms.

I can't say that they like being peace lovers, but to be frank they don't have any other option. This gang is famous for producing atleast one 4 pointer in every semester. This gang usually comprises of all boys or all girls with a  strength of atmost 5 people.

Known Foes
Well I would be glad to write anything here, you need strength to have foes and hence this section will be a simple N/A for this gang. (No hard feelings people)

Gang Name :- The Geek Squad

Turf Areas - All the labs and staff rooms

Gang Description

This is the uber geek squad and an almost exclusive gang where entry can only be earned by proving your coding prowess. Any solution with a complexity greater than O(nlogn), you will never be a part of this gang. The faculty loves this gang and this gang has the notoriety of churning out Algorithms and Data Management TA's.

Usually good at heart, but can be very cocky in class. They come up with solutions that are out of this world. Many wannabes who have tried gaining access to this elite club have been thrown out into such a dark hole of discreetness that they now fear to write even a prime number program or the much famed palindrome program. Never try to take the member of this gang even when you are in full strength because he/she can single handedly create a segmentation fault in your brain and can make a "file not found" out of you.

This gang may be small but their weapons of mass destruction includes Convex Optimization, Red Black Tree, Modified Heap Sort and a wide array of heuristics that even Karmarker  and Khachian would be proud of.

Known Foes - N/A simple because a certain individual once told me "Hisaab sey pishaap karo aur aukaat mein raho"

P.S :- There are still many gangs to cover and I believe if Peter Jackson can do this trilogy thingy, so can I.
