Best Moments in Kota by a Kota Student

They say "When you are under pressure, you enjoy the most"


There cant be any single best moment to remember, rather its the collection of memories which i cant forget for the rest of my whole life. 
Some students go there and just concentrate on what they want to achieve, but people like us never left a single opportunity to enjoy first time independence, we got after living out of home. I am sharing some of my memories


FUN / ENTERTAINMENT:-

  • First Day First show:- Moments when we seldom missed the missed the first day first show of almost every movies released in that year, irrespective of any scheduled classes and exams at Resonance. Though we struggled a lot for the movie  "Dhoom 2 ", but we made it to the 1st row.
  • Movies/Games in Video Parlour:- Moments when after waking up at noon, eating Lunch, and going straight to video parlour with friends to try some good HD movies/games, or to cyber cafe for social networking.
  • Bunks in a row:- Moments when we used bunk classes and sleep all morning after that healthy breakfast at 3 in the morning.
  • Mela:- Moments of enjoying the famous Mela and festivals to fullest.
  • Mock Tests:- Moments when we we used to start looking for notes form friends 1 night prior to the weekly test, and still score more than some of our colleagues who rarely used to get out of their rooms.

FOOD:-

  • Early Morning Breakfast at Talwandi:- Moments when we used to stay awake whole night (gossiping/games/ sometimes studying), and at 03:45 am climb off the hostel walls, walk 2-3 Km straight to Talwandi, and have Poha/Jalebi/Fan with Tea from multiple street vendors available. We never really got bored with that same breakfast for whole year.
  • Famous Veg Patty and Juice:- Moments when we used to have only Veg Patty and Juice in the lunch,      in spite of daily tiffin service we were enrolled in.
  • Tandoori Chicken at Royal Firdous restaurant:- Moments I used to have tandoori chicken at least each Friday after Jumaah Namaz. Sometimes at late night, when the gatekeeper of that hotelwas about to shutter down the restaurant.
  • Amar Punjabi Dhaba:- Moments when we used to party at Amar Punjabi Dhaba, near railway station of Kota, after getting irritated with the tiffin/mess food. You can call as many friends as you want, order your fav. items and still bill wont exceed INR 300/-. That 45 min auto-ride from Jawahar Nagar with friends was worth the taste. That was its Specialty.

Those were the among the best days of my life. I made some friends, to whom i am still in contact (even though never met some of them after Kota). I can say, that 1 year means more to me than 4 years in the college.

Kota Topper Story: Shitikanth IIT JEE 2008 Topper

Image
I gave JEE in 2009 and used to hear about this "topper" guy from the 2nd floor of my hostel. Topper of A1. I didn't pay too much attention. Then one day after my dinner my friends asked me if I noticed who was sitting next to me during the meal. I said no. They said it was the same guy. I didn't care much there either. I saw him for the first time in a cricket field. The lean stick-figure boy who didn't speak much. He had a ball in his hand and a single electric pole was being used as the wicket. I was fielding. I saw him bowl and all my senses absorbed after that was the clattering sound of the ball on the pole. That's when I was introduced Sitikanth. And the stories began! Once during class, V K Bansal (THE BANSAL of Bansal Classes) told us a story of when 2 weeks before JEE Sitikanth came to him, dejected and confused. Saying he had nothing to do. Bansal Sir gave him the toughest integration problems he had, thinking this should be enough to keep him a

The Most Brilliant Students of Kota Ever

Anuj Nagpal(AIR 190):  This guy was the most intelligent person I ever met. In hostel, he was one of the most fun loving guys, he only used to do the assignments of mathematics (only because it was taught to us by the director of the coaching). Though I was not in his hostel but my closest friends were in his hostel and used to tell me all the stuff they did at night. Late night chats, discussion about random things (which had no relation with JEE at all). There was a time when all feared Nagpal and used to say "Nagpal is gonna come and he is going to spoil our full night." That guy was much different from all other people I have ever met.  He got an AIR 190 only because we weren't taught inorganic chemistry, else he would have got much better rank than this.  He is AIR190 in JEEAdv 2014, AIR190(State rank 2) in JEEMain 2014, BITSAT score-398, CBSE 12th %- 97.6. Rajdeep(AIR 1700 in first attempt, AIR 1200 in second attempt):  This was the coolest guy I ever met, studie

How much You can get by Selling your IIT JEE RANK ??

Shubham Tulsiani says This is quite a common practice among institutes so I would like to address the trends too apart from the personal experiences and I'll also write on one aspect the question didn't explicitly ask  - offers  before  JEE Pre-JEE (class 12th) I had a couple of 'offers' - Some people from Akash Institute came over to my place to 'gift' me books to help me prepare for JEE. All I had to do was - guess what - yes, sign a form ! I was amazed at how insistent they were and despite me saying I didnt need the books and wouldn't sign,  they made me keep the books. They then visited / called me about 5 more times to get my signature (until I finally returned the unused books on their last visit and told my hostel guard to not allow them back). I later learnt that they had been giving these 'gifts' to some of my (well performing) batchmates in Bansal Classes too and unfortunately a lot of them had signed up too. I was also on
