Dear Engineering, Am sorry I SCREWED you!


At last I'm counting on the last beads of the wonderful college days.Its clearly visible for anyone to see the time running as the days pass on semester by semester I consider it to be the most important part of life .I learnt to swim across the swam of butterflies,run with wind to chase the time running an yard ahead of me  the changes are the something which rejuvenates  the old with refreshing breath of fresh air.In the last three years I rediscovered the existing reality with my damn mad friends who gave their shoulders when the reality tried to screw me.Nothing is immutable to change,change is constant thing that never changes.When something reconstructs itself  to make a change it leaves some traces in memory pile.Now I'm here digging up my memories,experiences of how I screwed engineering!

When I entered into the college for the first time, I had no glimpse about how the real college would be.All I had  a dream about the college which the silver screens showed me.But I always had a passion to study engineering in a college which gives me an atmosphere of a college.Luckily I got an admission in one such institution around the city.Canteen was the first place .The food at the canteen was not so delicious but I knew it would serve for the survival. I looked around the place, all I could notice was bright new faces with the eyes glowing with some deep desires.No one seemed so familiar to me but I knew someday I would know at least half the people whom I'm seeing now.

Some old man with a bushy mustaches hanging below his  nose came to me. He was scary, caught me for extending the lunch time by thirty minutes. He said "ID card".what the bloody card?. I was appallingly staring at his mustaches that would fall from his face anytime. Before I began to realize the situation; he pulled out the ID card from its holder which was tied around my neck. I was curious to know about this old  gentle man , who the people called  Gallej Gopala Krishnan. I would like to name him as specimen #1 because he is the perfect living example to show Engineering could make any sane person mad.(I'm already mad!)

From my birth I was been spoon fed by mom,then by my dad later in the school by my teachers.So spoon feeding is an inveterate habit for me. I couldn't bear when I was dumped with lot of facts,tons of stress and pages of record work. I had a feeling of pulling out the lollipop when I'm already addicted to its the taste. 
Neither Engineering nor the college spoon feeds If you desire for something then you need to snatch the food before someone licks it.Waiting for the opporturnity is dumbest thing in engineering because opportunities are never labeled so its always beter to make an opportunity rather than waiting for it.

In engineering you need not go behind a problem to form a solution, Anna university does it for you.Semester can be defined as the phenomenon where you forget everything once you enter into the exam hall and the memories rush in just stepping out of the hall.Semesters will  make you learn learn and learn and  learning  till before entering  into the exam hall,  you will curse the time because you cannot cover  the entire syllabus.But in the exam hall memory fades out and again you will curse the time for moving too slow,So its always preferred  just divde, conquer the dividend.You will turn a super pro reader when preparing for semesters, its feeling of bottle necked as the time narrows down.Please don't curse yourself or your memory because how much to hold in a tinny brain?

How hard you study, how smart you plan, how good you write.. Its not possible for anyone to score the grade which we dream .I bet marks linearly decrease every semester. Its a strange phenomenon that can't explain or expressed either. Internals can ditch you because everything is fair in love, war and also in Engineering! .Putting a smile on your face and adulating respecting the teacher, adds credit to your face value. It can bring a drastic result which we would always dream of  having it. If you screw the teacher, the teacher screws you in their way; which your ass   heart cannot bear it.

I had a wild passion to seek knowledge,its clearly visible to me that I had to understood concept to score marks.Despite understanding everything I couldn't top the paper. So I made a change in my style of writing I wrote all nonsense in the paper but cared to underline and highlight some points occasionally. When the results came I was fucking shocked. I got a damn good grades, far better from my past results.The moral of the story is : Presenting an irrelevant thing in a beautiful way can fetch mark. Yet I still continue to write in my own way because for the sake of Insanity! :D

Initially when I started to feel the classes to be boring, I bunked the class and later I felt bunking a day and sitting at home would be a better choice than bunking the whole day at the college.And finally It had exceeded the bounds when the bunking days started to increase,at a point time of I started to bunk the whole week.Now I'm forced to sit in the class not because I love hearing to the lectures because I failed to plan and distribute the bunking days evenly.
When an academic year starts plan the days, stay within the limits and enjoy bunking! 
*Bunk adikradhala nalla vishayam nadakudhuna;Bunk adikradhu naladhu*
(If something good is happening because of bunking classes;Bunking is good)

Now when I dust the memories,the only thing I find is  Fun ,happy smiling friends.I have a strong urge to
enjoy in each and every moment of life, try to extract the maximum hidden fun. Its because you joined engineering and you have to miss those fun.Life doesn't assures you with anything, its a pretty uncertain world where expecting for certainty is like finding for a fool's diamond.Its a really nice time to get incubated in an Engineering college as you get acquainted to many things and prepare for the real world.

PS:This is not a LOVE story!


"Vazkai oru vattam da! Thopi thopi*"*Life is a circle*" were the words spoken by Krishna on seeing Ishwarya.She was stunned seeing him after FIVE long years at one of the largest shopping mall in the south east Asia.Ishu never expected this meet. She was speechless as cached memories has started to roll back from the dumped side of her brain.(PS: thopi thopi is the phrase used to mean you are a loser)

She could exactly remember the day. The day when she last met Krishna, her yesteryears madness.

He was with mouth full of teeth and her eyes full of tears .It was the day when Ishwarya broke the relationship with Krishna "Get Lost!"was the last word said by her.

"oye!!" he waved his hands so furiously in front of her face and she begun to regain the senses..

"Hey Krish,what awre you doing  here?"she stumbled .

"What would A guy look around the shopping mall other than some bunch of beautiful girls" She thought.

"yuck. all chinkys* over here and they really suck,Really " Krishna said
Ishu rolled over in laughter ,thinking that she had understood Krish very well,

"Krishna you haven't  changed a bit  I say" she said.
"I know that Ishu!"he winked at her
He looks too good when he winks at me, Ishu thought

As the time elapsed they walked into the food court and had a seat facing each other.She knew Krishna would have already scanned the menu card because this should be the first place he must have stepped in when he entered the big mall of five hundred shops.
"so"she started the conversation.

"We are meeting after so long time"he said
"so" she said again with a smile
"so it has been so long we got hold on things" he said
"so"she added in anticipating a kiss from him

"Chocolate Brownie here is so delicious.I will make it as two and the cash is on you" he said.
Thinking  avan suthama marravae illa *he has not changed* 

Uncaring her presence, he was curiously looking at a boy struggling to open the wrappers of a chocolate.The whole mall was raising the roof with busy people but silence occupied the space between the two, rotten memory once again started flocking inside her head.She could clearly recapture the vision of her college days. Krishna was an enfant terrible she thought.
He does strange things for the ultimate sake of fantasy and for this reason everyone hated him and she liked him.No girls had enough courage to speak up with him and she can bet a million dollar check over it.But still some force had forced Ishu to go behind this insane guy and made him to love her.She thought she could change Krishna,but all the efforts failed,.Krish wanted the way he wanted to live and never even thought of mending his philosophies for anyone.It had exceeded the boundaries when Krishna dumped the job offers and never said the reason behind it to anyone, not even to Ishu.No one knew the intentions of Krish as he never let the things out so easily.,Meanwhile she got happily placed in a job which pays her for typing some coding stuffs.

The absolute silence came to an end when the smell of the chocolate brownie poked Krishna.
"yummy yummy ...yummy"said Krishna 

"what were you thinking about??" asked Krishna looking at Ishu.
She said "Nothing"
When a guy says nothing they mean it but it need not be true when a girl says it..

Pausing for a while she added "Its been so long since we met.What are you doing?"

"Still trying to figure out the way I wana live" he grinned
Those were the last words spoken by him she said "Hmm"

He snatched a blue color book from her handbag.
"Do you read books?,Ishu" he asked in amusement.

"Yeah!! The book you are holding now is my favorite"she said

She added "I've read the book twenty times,its cool "
Ishu liked that book because she strongly feels that there is perfect correlation between the incidents that had happened in her life to the things in the book.The book is all about someone talking about the words which weren't wasted.

Krishna smiled looking at the book. He stood up and said  "Nice book!,My best wishes".He begun strolling ,Ishu wanted to stop him to get his contact number,she was also expecting the answers for her all unanswered questions.

"HEY!"She shouted..

"Pay the bill" he giggled

"I want ask you many questions,wait" she screeched..

Putting hands inside his pocket and turned his head and said "You already know answers,Read the book!"

By the time she paid for the brownies he vanished somewhere in the crowd. Ishwarya's eyes was scanning the whole mall for him, she had feeling of losing someone which she hadn't got ever since she broke up.

A crippled girl in red skirt and white t-shirt came to her and asked
"where is the gentle man you were talking a moment before?"
Gentle man!,Its more than a complement for him. 

She said "He left just now, why are you looking for him?"
Girl said "To thank him"
Ishwarya gave a confused look.
"Read the book!" the girl smiled.
She now carefully started to read the book to figure out the puzzle put forth.

"UNSPOKEN WORDS -Chatterings of a man searching  for his passion"
on the cover it was written:
"The money from the purchase of this book will be helping someone who is in need of medical and educational  need"

Ishu opened the book and started to read it like she was reading it for the first time.Tears started to roll over her cheeks when she saw the phrase "His akin rush"in the last page of the book
I
ts an anagram which can be  perfectly re scrambled to make" Krishna Ishu",
As she started to realize that she had no more questions to be answered her phone buzzed again.A male voice on the phone said "Happy anniversary Honey, Will be there in 10 minutes."

"Come soon"she said.
Ishwarya now closed the book and  replaced it back inside her bag. I think something important had attracted her eyes.It was the advertisement board of a shop

"Endha ponugalae epadi than, ejaman!"
*Girls are Girls,boss!

"Why the Hell I need a Job?"


"Ena pa thambi, edhu vaenum soft a ila core a??"*What do you want soft or core??*,asked thePlacement Coordinator. If you wonder what is soft or core I'm pretty sure that  you aren't an Engineer.By the way soft refers to software and core implies any other thing other than software.Obviously am speaking about the job.As  respected Super Seniors of the reputed college, we are promised with a job before stepping outta the campus.And 9.5 out of 10 wants a job in company which gives them tea-coffee for simply tapping the keys in front of computer screens and the companies do give some good salaries which wouldn't suffice my boozing bills.Generally in software jobs  you don't have to pull the plugs and screw the bolts but its a mind blowing job  that would make any highly intellectual people to run  around the city yelling out
 # include<iostream.h> someday.Still many freaks get into those companies

And Christopher Technology Simplified, one of those companies which recruits people with intellectual skills. I heard the CEO of CTS impressed with herd computing so he usually take the freshers in herds,and this year is not an exception either.My friends are so desperate about getting a call letter from such a  company* which pays them for sitting inside 4x4 cabin with a beautiful computer and unlimited internet access.Life is pretty hectic, only the title of the job is SOFT and not the nature.Engineering already mind-fucked the people and as they enter into an IT field its pretty clear they are brain ditched and fully flushed.

Whenever people ask me with reference to some work in a company like ChristopherTS. I feel like shouting out "HELL I'm not so intellectual to run around the city without any dress and moreover My mom makes a good cup of coffee",I simply can't imagine myself siting in a cabin so furiously tapping the keys for for 12 hours a day for some  money.

But still when people tried convincing me and pushed my mind to the verge of instability. In spite of knowing am weak in mathematics, I rigorously calculated with the basic knowledge about operation of the calculator,
I Repeated the calculation for bloody thousand times It said a simple Result
                                      22000*36=792 000
but my friend with the coffee dreams says i'm wrong...I don't find any mistake.In other 2years they would save a gross amount of 17K US dollars which doesnt seem to be a good amount when compared to
                                       10000*12=120 000

which is 120K USD  thats approximately 8 times than my fellow friends earned in CTS,Willington programs or any other mind fucking companies.Also I would have nice american brunets to cool off my weekend.Phew..it so embarrassing for me to do all this calculation because I dont care what do I get but rather I prefer what should i do.

 I don't find any other thing that can substitute the gratification of doing something I wanted..And how could anyone who has worked hard to taste the essence of core engineering would happily work in a Software company which is not their piece of cake.And if I have to work in such a company I'm sure my inner conscience will kill me.

Adding to it, there will be no reason for why I learnt all the Electrical stuffs to hire a job which is no way related to it. "So whats next?" the voices questioned me.

"MS in AMERICA" is the only expected answer but I said
"Why the Hell I need A Job?"
