FOLLOWING CONTRIBUTED BY SHRUTI
Tut (pronounced: T-you-t): The assignments in every subject that we took, and the dedicated afti (afternoon) class for solving these..where we invariably slept.
bhasad: crowd, and generally the crowd of commoners
Ganda (noun): used to refer to the unique class of jokes and wisecracks that comes naturally to roorkee junta. Generally the jokes originate for "lateral thinking" but end up in absurdia. The sense of humour to appreciate such jokes is acquired and makes us stand apart :)
Senti Scene: any situation that a person lands himdelf/herself in which brings him/her to the brink of an emotional outrage. Most Roorkee students have experienced this especially during test series and thesis defence. A sure shot recipe to a senti scene is by sleeping eight hours straight when you have a defence presentation in 24 hours and more than half of the work pending ;)
