College life

With so many dreams and so many doubts about the future, I joined an engineering college(G.L.A. Itm) about which I doubt if anyone is aware of at this moment too. I joined in Electrical and electronics branch in 2001. With ragging buzz around the corner I was afraid, but thanks to My dayscholer status nothing much happened. After that 1st year passed on smoothly with I being 3rd after 1st year in college. And thus I got a golden opportunity(Now I have understood it was useless) to switch my branch to Electronics and communication. MY electrical deptt HOD(Puneet Chaudhary, who used to come by his khatara Maruti 800 of blue color) asked me not to change my branch, for he believed that anyone who would pass out without any back from that branch would definitely get a job. And after 1-2 years I got to know the meaning of his statement (as no one could manage to pass electrical branch without any back). I met some of my good friends whom i wanted to be with me like Dheeraj, Shravan. They wanted(and anyhow managed) to change their branch as well. So our courtship extended for subsequent years as well, and the gang remained intact.

Second Year - 90 odd new class mates, a hell lot of books, U.P. Tech . university's Electronics syllabus, annoying faculty, a college 17km away from home, auto to commute what else anyone can ask for getting life worse in second year itself. Then teachers like Vinay Deolia(Will describe him later) who made our life a nightmare. Some new friends(Prerna, Parul,Ujjawal,Rohit,Anshul,Vikas,Ankit,Khemchand,Saurabh,laddu,kida,Lokesh(mota),rahul,Gaurav(rana),Vishal(Tyagi,machhar),Shyam bhai(Some of them I have missed, but all of them have a special place in my heart) some interesting topics, Samosas of canteen, lunch of college mess keep the fire burning anyhow till final year. Otherwise I would not have survived in that branch or in that college.One more thing that is worth mentioning is the speed of net, at that time it used to take at least 5 mins to load a gmail home page (u can imagine how fast it must be).
Those days seriously rock. No matter how much care less I would be but when I waited for the results my heart would come to my mouth at the thought of seeing something unexpected. There was one person (Gopika) whose result I used to watch after mine although I can not explain the reason.
15 marks in STLD,anteena and 30 in physics exam still give me goose bumps. If you will ask any of my batchmates no one can say that I was a studious kind of person or a careless person, But anyhow I managed to clear that degree with 75%(good na), did a good project that is till date a achievement for me.
Expect some more very soon.
