The Unbecoming of an Engineer....

The last four years as they went by .... the most interesting events that occured in the 8 semesters of my undergrad education...

sem 1) i left home for the first time in my life...stayed with my cousin... had the first nightout(as what we called it thn) with P and R(b4 u let loose those horses of imagination let me clear.. P and R are boys and my good friends ) which turned out to be fun. As the semester progressed towards its end... i developed a fear that maybee CSE is not my cup of tea as the C coding proved to be quite tough.. on top of that my attendence was very low so had to write xtra assignments and attend lecture even in the last week in lieu of attendence...

Sem 2) decided to move to flat.. not hostel ehhh???............bahiiiiii bachee ki lakshan theek nahin lag raheee...... along with two other roomies.What followed was ...spending endless nights listening to dil vil play vyar and yeh kya ho raha hai.. the world cup came.. in india Vs pak match as tendulkar lofted waqar for a six our bed broke ...as all of decided to jump togather....o n it that is.. our attendence dropped to a all time low. so he only thing that was most awaited besides our exam time table, was the final attendence sheet.... we all managed to sit in the exam ...after we submitted the xtra assignments. The duration of majors seemed longer than ever.... i still remember of the most feared xam to me was digital electronics. On the eve of my exam as my roomies prepared for parchus or chitthus as we named them... i jolked with my roommate P1 that it would b really funnny if the invigilator caught him and made him sit right in the front facing the whole class . well as expected the exam was a bomb (...for me atleast) and as i was sitting trying to figure out what the question was hinting at ??? or atleast what kind of story could be written ... disguised as an answer. i started swaying my middle finger and before i realised what grave gesture that harmless finger depicted , the inviglator saw it and thought that it was directed at him .. hes walked to my table ( i was seated at he last row.. ) and asked me what was i doiing... obviously i had no answer so he ordered me to sit right infront of the whole class and facing them..as it turned out ... i sat facing my roommate with whom i was joking the day before.. during the remaining paper he waass unable to wipe thst silly devilish smile of his face....

summer break) The results of sem 2 devastated me just as the nuke devastated hiroshima and nagasakii i had scored very low.... six point something .. i was at my home at that time browsing the TOI ..sprts section to be specific. an add mentioning a 27 days c,c++ workshop at IIT D so i decided to join it so as to built a strong foundation of the core programming languages...
the 27 days i spent at iitd were really out of the world expierence ... iwas surrounded by ppl so motivated that i could literaly see the fire of committment in ther eyes....
i on the other hand learnt c and c+ and read harry potter .

3rd sem) no thing much played basketball and lost in the semis to boitech and that too in the last minute of the game ..ouch ..life can be cruel and btw cgpa jumed back to normal

6th sem ) got placed in infy .. the first company to visit the campus..felt on clopud numbah nine for the first time treated my self by having icecream at12:30 in night ..
