1/4 th of an Engineer..

Huh..?? 1 yr over already..?? I mean.. didnt I jus join coll..?? Wooaaahhhh... now that was fast...

Yeah.. finishing off ( i was literally finished off in the 2 sems..!!!) .. with the year was a roller coaster ride.. sukked BIG TIME in the exams.. made friends for life at BITS.. wasnt easy.. compelled to ask myself... "Life's tough.. aint it??" ... and I always seem to answer this stupid question myself..." Compared to what..??"

Lookin back at all that I have done in this year.. (umm.. what exactly DID I do..??) .. jus reaffirmes the fact that once u get outta your homes.. there are a lotta things that life teaches you.. and you just cant learn those by reading someone else's blog.. but by experiencing it first-hand..!!

To all those people going into their First year...
Stop reading this shit.. study and study hard... score in the first 2 sems.. very very important..!!(Yeah.. you actually realise it only after you have wasted the whole year..!!!)

Ohh yeah.. 1 more thing.. your on your own out there soldier... no ones gonna help you in your time of need.. do it yourslef.. Friends are always there for your support... but at the end of the day..(hey... this reminds me of someone..!! lol..) ..its YOU who has to solve the problem yourslef...

Man.. I should stop giving people advice..!!

Ab Kya..??

The next Biggest Question......

Now What..???

So goodbye Dad... see you in a few months.. wow... wasnt that easy... 1st time .. not bad... ur growin up Purnoor...
Adjusting to a completely new environment .. away from that protected "fauji" living.. into that "civilian" life all alone for the first time is definitly not easy... but wow.. independence...!!! .. gettin away frm family was exciting.. holds a loadda opportunities...(no... !! no wayy...!! ur sick..!!) .. and responsibilities..!!

5:45 AM

Woaaahh... come to think of it now.. I really cudnt believe myself when I was actually waking up every morning before 6.. that too all by myself.. cooll..!! ..( Now I really cant wake up before .... .... ... umm...10..?? )

1st Day of classes...

Is this the right class..?? There's nobody here... obviously you idiot.. u've reached a half-an-hour before it begins..
I normally used to love Physics classes.. but my Phy teacher in the 1st sem wasnt really the kinda guy I wanted to have..(didnt really look like a college teacher to me altogether..!!) ..We actually thought we could hav taught him better Physics than he actually teaching us..!!

The rest of the teachers were sorta fine.. I mean.. they were just fine.. nothin really great.. could have managed for abt 1/2 sem.. cant I..??

Dad.. Im not gonna fit in this..!!

Yup... these were my first words when I entered my room and saw my Bed...in BITS Pilani-Goa Campus...Room BH4-363...!! damn... it was a crappy 6 feet bed.. the woodwork was fine.. but the size... tooooo small.. shit.. why did I have to be soo tall..!!!

The college campus was outta this world.. havent really seen a better one... the B-Wing dome.. standing majestically collosal.... empowering all those who stand and relish in its grandeour.. !!! (whhheeww.. where did I get that from??) .. The classrooms were awesome.. and the lecture theatres were amazing.. massive..capable of seating at least 300 ..( we normally dont get to see more than 30.. !!)

The icing on the cake... the BITS Audi.. (no .. not the car.. the auditorium..!!) Ive been to other auditoriums.. having capacities of like 1000 or even 1800.. but wooaaaaahhh... 2200??? man.. u ve really gotta see it to believe it.. (considered to be Asia's 2nd biggest!!) .. the seats were plush .. really beautiful.. the whole thing.. MASSIVE..!!!

Kahan Jaoon..???

So Purnoor .. decide.. three good options.. ECE @ NIT Surathkal..(wow..!!) or Chemical( will definitly get something bttr over the next few iterations..) @ BITS Goa..(cud even be Pilani..) and Comp Sci @ NUS ..(with that 6-yr Bond..!!)

Lets start eliminiating.... NUS was out straittaway... no way.. im not spending 6 yrs earning without my MBA...? Besides..I was personally told to go for an Indian grad degree rather than a degree frm Singapore.. Indian degrees hold a muchhh higher value than an NUS degree...

After hours and hours of consulting people.. and wastin my internet hours over this.. and a hell lotta sleepless nights... agreed to join BITS... (agreed bcoz i really wanted to go to NIT Surathkal .. but my parents and lotsa other ppl whose opinion really mattered told me that the BITS tag would take me places in life..!!)

So BITS it is...

Joining a new college.. that too when it just had one year done.. no placements to look at...?? Was I crazzy or something..??? Nope.. the TAG...!! its the BITSian TAG.. which really counts..!!! Fell for it..!!! Ohh yeah... got Electronics and Electrical after the 3rd iteration.. cool.. so no problem abt the course..!! yippee...!!

Am I supposed to write something here..??

Ok.. so where do I begin..?? ....... Hmmmmmmmmm....
Rite then.. after finishing all my exams..... Im like " so where am I headed to ??" (as if there arent 10283702 kids askin the same question ...!!) .. ohh yeah.. My Boards went awesome..cudnt hav wished it to go any better.. but.........I also made one of the biggest mistakes in my life during this period..(hahaha.. yeah.. very few ppl know abt this...!!)


After gettin all the results..

So i get a pretty decent rank in AIEEE.. didnt get thru after IIT Mains..( yeah rite..!!!!! lol..) .. and got a sorta moderate kinda score in BITSAT.. (My first reaction after the BITSAT was $%$%@@!!!!!!).. yeah.. i didnt rite any more exams.. thot it would be a shitty waste of time..!

So then... I got my first option in the AIEEE counsellings.. thats NIT Surathkal ECE..( i got EEE actually but the guy frm Kerala above me who had ECE was leaving anyway.. so I would have got that seat in the next iteration..) ... Hmmm.. pretty good college... one of the best NIT's around...the best course.. pretty cool career option...

I was pretty dejected when I didnt get through in the IIT JEE Mains.. but i sorta had prepared for this coz i knew my Math exam had been a DISASTER..!! lol..!! So there.. no IIT for me.. wahhhhh..!!!

Comp Sci???? shit .. i wanted Electronics at NUS.. damn... chalo fine.. shud be pretty good.. its Singapore na?? I mean getting a degree from singapore shud really score BIG TIME..!! But there is this 1 teensy -weensy thingy... ehhh... a 6 YEAR BOND..?????? Are you outta ur mind...??? I wanna do an MBA.. for God's sake.......!!!!!

BITSAT according to me was a backup plan.. I hadnt really prepared for my BITSAT well.. since I gave it after my IIT Mains..and forgot the word study after the Mains..... so 322 ehh...?? Am i really gonna get a seat??... Damn..only those guys with scores above 400 will get a seat.. that too courses like MSc Engg Studies.. lol..!! But wooahhh... hold on... Im gettin Chemical Goa... in the 1st iteration..??? coooll...
