AAh...most of my friends thought I had quit blogging. See now I havn't. But then where was I for the last 2 and a half months. there are reasons why i could not post..mainly 2 reasons..the most important reason, well i would say the factor which was 99.98% responsible for me not even having a look at my own blogpage was LAZINESS...lethargic attitude...and all other synonyms which can be given to a couch potato..reason number 2 which contributed to only 0.02% of my absence was ..........LAZINESS....yes so it was 100% LAZINESS....
Just the other day one of my relatives congratulated me-"So boy turns to a man. You have become an engineer." For a split second I felt as if I had turned into a superhuman having magical powers".BOY TURNS TO A MAN...save me someone..as if boys never turn into men..and as if engineering was like going to the outer space and coming back.Plus till the results come out I dnt know whether I am an engineer or not..(yes..that gives ample proof of how I wrote my papers)I was in awe of people who actually went to colleges and completed their engg for i felt engg was too tough..now i wont completely deny that there were moments in which I felt like running away from my college because I could never diffrentiate between a pnp or a npn transistor or could never really think of a valid reason as to why did Fourier uncle had to lay his eyes on every field starting from Signals to Mathematics to Field theory..I can assure all those aspiring engineers..that 4 years of engg life is easier than the two years of senior secondary schooling..I mean i dont know about the IIT's but in our college I never felt that kind of pressure which I personally felt in XI and XII.The only pressure felt was a day before the semester examinations and that too because all the other days were spent doing everything else except having a feel of the books.
I keep asking myself if I am an engineer or not. I mean of course ,for the last four years I did stay at a place where Idly,Sambhar and Vada were the best one could have for breakfast,where I saw different coloured rices being cooked(green,blue,yellow,red..name it and they have it),where the only items visible in my room were my laptop,a pack of cards,my roomies PC which never worked and a bunch of old read newspapers,where birthdays meant birthday bumps and cakes which were not be consumed,where it was fun to get up early in the morning and steal your neighbours newspaper and then show innocence on being asked and of course where if one had nothing else to do he did sometimes attend lectures,where all that was required for hostel guys to display their beastly sides was a powercut..once the lights were off one could here the choicest slangs for the most irritating professors,where it was a crime to go to bed before 2 am,where love was lost and then found and then lost(its a vicious circle),where their were debates as to who's the best..federer or nadal,where cricket matches meant atleast 50 guys shouting at the top of their voices giving you a cricket stadium like feel.
I remember one of my school friends mentioning that he saw almost all the movies while he was doing his MBA. It wasn't much different for us. The most difficult time we had was the time when no new movies were being released. At that time had to download subtitles for telegu and tamil movies.Playing Cards,going to trips,watching teleserials,playing counter-strike,NFS...See I did become an engineer after all..
Now I am not going to point fingers at India's education system..Cmon I had fun man..These will be the days which will be forever etched in my memory.
Will miss my friends for they taught me friendship and will miss my foes for they taught me life.CHEERS..!!
