This blog is my very first writeup , I thought of writing on engineering lyf. If you are an engineering student you may relate it and if not, I hope you enjoy reading it.
So i finally came to an engineering college, a partial dream come true after 2 years of slogging- H C Verma, M Karim, R C Mukherjee, K C Sinha, RD Sharma etc...( really I didn't liked these was forced to..) What had brought me here, were the high salaries students these days were getting, after getting into IIT’s ,but somehow, I ended up in Annamalai University, Tamilnadu almost 2500 Kms from my native. Low semester fees was the bigger factor, than a urge to become an engineer or i must say the dream of living a high standard life was the only driving force :P
What i immediately noticed after coming to college was that students(5000+ intake was there) were here from different parts of the country Bihar , Jharkhand, Assam, WB and South Indian States. Unlike my seniors having a strength of 300-400 students we had an Army of Students(5000+). I got admission in Electronics & Instrumentation branch. But, As I was least interested in Mechanical/ Electrical stuff I got my Branch changed in 2nd year to Computer Science Engineering. What we had learnt in higher secondary level was basically done to secure good marks .We hardly knew our attitude would remain with us throughout. Engineering really means playing with or dismantling different types of things around for the ease of humans, but very few among hundreds had that knack. But whatever happened we have ended up in an engineering college for “four” unforgettable years of our life .
Students are now getting computers and laptops , Everyone is having internet connection in their room to stay updated not about the latest technologies but to watch movies and do chit chat on Orkut and facebook with friends Before we knew our exams were knocking the door, we always had this urge to laugh at people who used to study regularly and call them book worms as we studied only at the last night :P Sometimes just before the exam we realized we were wrong, and the most important thing is that this realization remained only till the exam time :P. Thus most of the students who were ex-toppers were seen slogging before exam and praying just to clear exams.
We enjoy all other time in our college except the weeks in which exams are held and we seriously do. Staying away from guardians does provide a lot of freedom. Hanging out with friends in the campus, sleeping in class, giving proxies, mass bunks, taking computer games seriously. Infact, very seriously , watching movies through out the day , waking up at noon, Life here is completely different. Here, we need to take bath at least 2 times a day to feel we are alive due to the hot and humid (chip chip garmi) here in chidambaram. And the best part is students who have led a disciplined life throughout now begin feeling ashamed. I don’t know what we are doing now is right or not but we are loving it.
I would like to end it by making every engineering students remember something…..
till class 10 : ” study till boards after that you can do whatever you want.”
class11-12: “its only 2 years more after that it like picnic in the college, believe me its true!!! Dancing and dping silly stuffs as in movies :P
After entering into an engineering college and getting average C. G.P.A. : “you were not like this, what happened to you, study hard to get placements if you want to live a happy life”
After almost 2 years , i am still not able to reply to questions which ask me what engineering is all about, or what have i learnt till now,Good or Bad i don’t know but we are enjoying each and every moment here , and i suppose that is the most important thing, future will ultimately take its own course of action…!!!
