Lost in thoughts

Two more exams and we, second years are done with the externals!! Exams were bad as ever and one day batting doesn't seem to help that much.An expected of 2 months holidays seems interesting. Its happy to know that the exams are over, but at the same time it makes me depressed realizing that two years are over in a beautiful journey of my engineering life.  It also hard to digest that the real fun is no more gonna be there.

The tension of being ragged, bunking classes, making new friends, sweet crushes, few heart breaks, horrifying lab externals, the unforgettable Fresher’s party, finally falling in love with engineering life…. This is what first year is for many students out there.

Then came 2-1, feeling big, all excited, ragging, bunking, sports, some more sweet crushes and few more heart breaks ;-) , exams, preparing for one rocking Fresher’s party, few more exams,and so on. But things change a lot in 2-2 .....

The only big thing about 2-2 is the Fresher's party, organizing it, planning it and finally enjoying it to the max!!! and when the fresher's party is done....things get real slow.Bunking went down, also the overall fun factor has gone down, ppl takes sides, and it is no longer a big gang of friends but, groups of friends. People don’t find college interesting somehow. Yet the only reason that keeps them coming to college is attendance.All this only after fresher's party!!! Finally before we even realize second year is almost over there come the externals. Lab externals were irritating!! :-( of course there was this ASI educational tour where we had some fun.

Over all 2-2 hasn't been good for me....

I don’t know if this is the way everyone out there feels or it is only me who is feeling this way. But anyhow I started this post thinkin of writing about the exams and how things were for me in the exams ,but don’t know my mind just lost into thoughts about all that happened during these two years of my life in this small world called “IARE”.

Third year and ahead I hope everything goes well for us. We have some interesting things coming up ahead of us like the, starting of the CSI student chapter, the exciting educational tour, Alumni association being formed which promises to provide some technical help to students with the help of ex-students.

I hope to take active part, through this blog, in helping people get help from the ex-students, like Shravan doing his M.S at University of California Santa Barbara, have offered help and also suggested few ideas to implement it properly. Also the Alumni would give me to do something to my co-students which I consider a great opportunity.

Sorry folks for a heavy (boring) post, next post will surely rock, cos by then we’ll b done with our exams!!!

wishing you all good luck!!!





Remember -
Its our IARE

Chill ppl. from my exp. i can say that this's the time when students tend to drift away from acads. Also start the process of self reflection to know what you really to be in life and start working towards it. Trust me, many of your seniors have paid a heavy price for making hasty decisions.
Don't get tempted by looking at what others do.
And yes, the alumni association is on its way too and you guys will have to play an active role in it.

All the best!
