Early Hours in I-Lab
As you can probably figure it out from the title of the post – I’m currently(6am to 7am) sitting in an almost deserted I lab (that is how we call our Internet Lab in NITT) except for a few enthusiastic first years getting up early in the morning. I’m not one of those students who get up early and come here. I belong to the other elite category. “We people don’t sleep in the night.”
(Tonight {or maybe early today morning} we were playing DotA in Lab 1. Time went on. Game after game.)
Why is the I lab so deserted in the morning?
It is around 7am now. Students here( or maybe anywhere) generally don’t get up before 8am or 9am. And people getting up is most unlikely if it happens to be a Sunday.
** For those who don’t know – Our Internet lab is open from morning 6am to 00hrs. Earlier it used to be 24hrs but they reduced the time because they felt that we were wasting time on the net. 
(.. !!! ((It does happen.. We ‘Gamers of NITT’ used to come here at 1am or 2am to play here coz the computers here are a bit more faster than the ones in the other labs..:-))
Who comes here so early in the morning?
- People as jobless as me.
- People who download huge files. Usually these people start the download when they leave the lab. They just switch off the monitor and then they return in the morning to take the downloaded files.
It is actually a very good idea especially if you need to download some important things overnight. - A few first year students who have to go to the hostel early in the night due to the curfew imposed on them. They come early to compensate for the time lost. Jobless guys..
… - Guys who want good internet speed. The speed is exceptionally high when the lab is almost empty. Photos, videos and most webpages open in a second. That is not so when the lab is fully occupied.
Anyway it was needless for me to observe the I Lab in the early hours of a day and write a pretty unnecessary post like this.!! Anyway it is a good time pass. In I Lab people won’t feel bored with such a reasonably good speed and a wonderful freedom.
