Heart of a Frustoo

These days I seem to be shouting on everybody. The time taken by me to react to any situation no matter how small seems to have put the speed of light to shame.
But there is a valid explanation for all this mess… Try the most famous word trying with “F” in our batch…err… try the second most famous word then… common u dimwits.. I will give the answer… “Frustoo”… sheesh… frustoo kar diya.. saale guess bhi nahin kar sakte! You see, I thought that going out of IIIT will be the most beautiful in my life. I will finally have a LIFE and also WWW associated with it (No… Don’t start guessing what WWW is you nincompoops, it stands for Women Wine and Wealth). Now if any smart guy is smirking at me here, here’s another famous word or for that matter a “symbolic expression” __|_ or oo|o or oo0o…or stfu or FUB!!(with due regards to jaya) ab sochne main kya jaata hai? Jhantu hai kya? Baat samajhme nahin aati hai kya?
So as I was saying there are many frustoos in our batch (phew). So, let us write a critic about this phenomenon which seems to be quite natural to the esteemed gdit2k1…. Don’t you say that you have never been frustoo, because chances are that you are already dead or, you are dead inside you ROBOT!!
Types of frustoos:
1) The justifiable frustoos
2) The Vesuvian frustoos
3) Academic frustoos
4) The gaming society

The Justifiable Frustoo :
Don’t even think about falling into this category. This is only restricted to cool personalities like me who have total control of one’s own action both voluntary and involuntary ;). These people can never be unjustified and their frustoo’pan can always have a good reason which is justifiable to the whole world.
This phenomenon can also be explained when you get some mail from people coming especially from middle part of India viz. Bhopal. There is something to this area and receiving any mail from the people living in it’s vicinity or anyone who has even passed it in their journey well qualify for this weird mailing powers. Sometimes, there are people just aspiring to be like them so, they can be some exceptions to this mid-India theory. So, if you get a mail from these guys and you start biting off your table or thrashing your monitor for being such a harbinger of death, is completely natural and is quite justifiable and understandable.

The Vesuvian Frustoos:
Heard of the famous Mount Vesuvious in Fiji? The mountain which always smokes and erupts destroying humanity as we know of in that area. These people are like the famous painting by Leonardo Da Vinci “The Vitruvian Man” (I don’t believe that the similarity in the name is purely coincidental)… these people are truly state of art and real masterpieces.
Don’t be fooled by the momentary cool headedness of this customer. This is just his instable isotope and can come back to his natural state any time.

Statuary Warning: Being in close vicinity to Vesuvian frustoos might be injurious to your health. Run for your life!!

He might be talking quite normally to you for a while. But deep inside, slowly but steadily, heat signatures emanated by him will be growing exponentially. Then, there will be a bright light… burst in the decibel level of the serene environment…. There will be a tear in space time continuum. And you will wake up in some land unknown to the human civilization and your first expression will be “main kaun hoon?”

The Academic Frustoos:
These are the ones whose sole purpose in life is to get an A or any other good alphabet in their ISAS page and to get the Banyan tree award on their convocation. These people will get senti and emotional after an exam or a lab test. These are the people who cry for actually not understanding the professor’s lecture and are found to be very poor in compiling the jokes put by the professor which will look out of the blue for them.
Very unharmful type but I cant say the same about their “irritating” quotient. These are the people to whom many of us are eternally indebted because of their zeal to do each and every crappy assignments. Thank you, you academic frustoos, IIIT is proud of you.

The Gaming Society:
Please observe the absence of the word “frustoos” at the end of this kind. I dont want it to be like a tautology nor do I want to rub it in ;). “The Gaming Society” is frustoo'panti defined and let me add, in no uncertain terms!
The member of this society live for their score and their castle rush time. These people have absolutely no regard for life and death nor for any such consequences. They will ignore it unanimously until the completion of the game.
These people play when they are is a sudden surge of happiness as a mark of celebration. They also play when struck with a calamity as a mark of remorse. These are the people who play before and after doing anything less substantial like writing the end semester exams or attending the classes (which is quite a “once in a lifetime” phenomenon) and the professor can write this achievement of their's in his/her CV.
The biggest mistake that you can do is (no I am not talking about disturbing them when they are playing because it is not a mistake, it is catastrophic) to be in the lab. Chances are you will be the butt of their jokes in their “strategic” chatting or their names ;) (people who played CS yesterday or for that matter q3 will know).
These people are very passionate and of course, if they miss any shot then all hell is set loose. There will be shouting, ranting, fighting and sometimes even disconnecting from the server (which is the biggest sign of contempt)!!


The real beauty of frustoos is, they can stick their head out anywhere and at anytime. It is really this unknown psychology of the frustoos that stands them apart. This is the only breed in IIIT which is evolving very rapidly. So, if tomorrow many more types of frustoos are added to this list of current known types, it will be just mundane to say the least.
So next time you go out of your secure “shell”, watch out for that frustoo who will be striking at an area near you!
