National Cadet CorpsE

Yeah I'm going to talk about NCC. The extra E in the title has a very deep rooted meaning which you'll soon appreciate. So the story goes something like this:

Not so long time ago a boy joined IIT. He certainly had a place in the pantheon of academic heroes in his small town. He felt after clearing JEE like Harry Potter did after being invited at the Hogwarts school. He was all excited and ebullient. Suddenly someone asked him a question - a question that was going to change his life forever:

What will you prefer to join - NCC, NSO or NSS?

And the boy suddenly had made the biggest mistake of his life. His answer was NCC.

What followed was a gruesome routine of exercises and drill. Every weekend of the first two years at IIT turned into nightmare. While the rest of the people were sipping coffee at Barista or munching corn at Priya, the "CADETS" were being slaughtered. SO I name them the "National Cadet CorpsE".

The drill was also peppered with lots of punishments . This boy I'm talking about particularly made sure to have atleast one of them every weekend. When slowly he started adapting to his misery, a news struck him. The "CADETS" were to go on a trip at 5 A.M on a Sunday morning to a place which felt atleast a light year away on that thing which people call bicycle.

Well the tale continued.... and its an IIT folklore that the boy is now a dead corpse and hangs out at Barista and Priya with his fellow "National Cadet CorpsES"
