Second internals are finally over,that means we got chance to make up for our averages only in one more attempt.Had a crazy time writing internals,its always mad.Hardly no sleep and then running around to gather the last bit of notes.Always in a an attempt to cram maximum. Phew! Maybe we have always been this way, whole of Engineering! No one ever bothered to actually remember the content from internals,basically a bloody eye wash to show we are bright enough! We study maximum but everything still is new when we sit down to prepare for the end semester exams.
The times when I joined engineering I thought it would be a tough course,well atleast for a start! Gradually I learned the whole process of how an engineering student copes with each and every semester right from dealing with internals,arranging notes,getting the last minute photocopies,ragging,cramming a month in advance for the external papers.It has always been a rat race,maybe our generation was meant to deal with that kind of competition in any field for that matter.Not just in academics,anything is dealt with competition.Someone is superior to the other in some way or the other.It can be anything at all,it doesnt matter.Sometimes academic excellence is not considered,atleast in the hostels of BMS.Well atleast I know the way the hostels work everyday.Somedays its just about the matches like IPL,Football(Whatever it is),etc when everyone is so engrossed in staying up late nights watching matches and when there is nothing you can prove your superiority then it finally comes down to the number of pegs one can down one night and still stay sober.Good if it stops at the amount of Alcohol intake.Sometimes its just way more than the normal crowd would prefer.I dont blame any hostel,it probably happens in every engineering hostel all over the country.Weed,hash,Magic mushrooms are very common.When drinks aint the criteria it finally comes down to how many joints,etc.
All in all,I have learnt a lot in my engineering years, both good and bad.I know what is right and what is wrong.I dont want anyone telling me bout it.I dont regret any moment but yes I know what I am doing and where my limits stand.Dad,if you are reading this post.You have nothing to worry when it comes to me.Always you happen to mention that for me everything was a fascination.Maybe, it was those days when I was always fascinated right from watches,mobiles,etc.I still luv watches! Somethings never change! Maybe those days I was biased and easily influenced.Yeah,partly I agree I was someone who could easily be influenced.I am no more like that anymore.I know my responsibilities and my duties as a son.I will not let you down.
I dont know why I thought of putting up this post,but yes I thought the wrong notions if any has to change coz I know what I am doing.I am a better student and definitely a better son now.
Adios.
Till someother post,
