I every time I think about my engineering days, I feel like adrenalin being pumped into me. The happy-go-lucky days, the I can take on the world attitude, the newly learnt lingos, the night life, the lets do something times…. Seriously miss those days. There were times when I wanted the time to freeze for me, not that I wanted to become Peter pan but more so because we were having such a good time and I was afraid for losing it. Crushes, sports, you know whats, projects, cricket & the ‘bro’code during our internals time.... we were lost in a world of our own.
At that time I had upgraded my old mobile to a new flapwalla mobile, oh my god that was something else. Although at that point not many had silver flap phone but I was Flaunting the mobile as though, Samsung had manufactured limited edition phone just for me. It might sound crazy, but when I think about it always brings smile on my face.
First few internals were total disaster to say the least, no one was able to put their mind into studies that was the time we used to have the so called ‘Group studies’ ya ‘Study night outs’ where few close friends of mine used to meet at my place. Especially after dinner, we were on cost cutting drive at that time or should I say may be we didn’t have that much deep pockets to splurge ‘moolah’ on dinner meet on a regular basis. Father of our nation smiling at us was a once a month affair, But it is still very special to me, at that time my pocket money had got a little increment & had started getting modest sum as pocket money. Believe me at that point in time it was a great deal for me. I was feeling like a fund manager handling that sum.
None the less coming back to Group studies, it was always a good idea only till first few minutes. Then small minor break would turn into nothing less than NDTV’s big fight lasting at least few hours on topics ranging from exams, girls, movies, politics, ghosts, sports to many times philosophy. Funny isn’t it. But everyone had a perspective of his own, with his set of experience to back it up. The worst part was there was no moderator in between to resolve few tricky situations. I must say I Learnt a lot from those GDs and even started to appreciate others thought process.
For few internals it had become a customary practice for all of us to meet and study together, we even started seeing good results in the internals. But finally all of us understood that it was not serving our purpose (at least academic one for sure) over next few semesters we slowly stopped meeting for group studies, as they say all good things do come to an end.
