The joy of engineering is to find a straight line on a double logarithmic diagram.

Finally it’s done, four years have gone by, its left barely a smile, ending a huge chapter of my life wouldn’t be easy… but it has to happen. Everybody fears change, it’s not always a bad thing… at least I hope so…
Four years have been good, great I would say, I have kept my scores up, got placed … you couldn’t have asked for more out of a B.E degree… but letting go is always so tough, you need something to hold on to… I almost went up to my teacher and asked if I could come back in case I had doubts, which I don’t generally do, ‘cause trust me, that saying “those who can, do, those who can’t, teach” isn’t a joke…

I did say that engineering would have been great, but last few months have been miserable in college… the juniors having so many tiffs with my classmates, so much so that those guys are breaking a 60 odd year old tradition by not giving us a farewell party…One thing they don’t realize is that they will be working under us in the companies that they join ( *evil laugh* )… apart from that, the constant battles with the X, its become a daily affair now… kinda like the daily routine, brush, bathe, argue…
Things escalated to such an extent today that I swore I won’t see that face again, ever! What else could I have given as a birthday present?? Eternal peace! The best gift I could possibly give…

Well technically speaking college is not yet over, I still have my project presentation, and there are high possibilities that I might have to give today’s paper again ( yeah, I didn’t do very well )… but that’s a small possibility… the college is giving a farewell to the outgoing batch, lunch included, but the several lunches I’ve had (for free) from the college was just a small quantity of bisi bele bath and curd rice… but still stealing that one sweet from my classmates plates was always a good challenge ( Oh, and did I mention that we cant take seconds? )… you can always take a new plate and start over again but that behavior results in glares from teachers and often resulted in a decrease in your internal assessment marks… For those of you interested I was(am) doing my Electrical and Electronics Engineering from M.S Ramaiah Institute of Technology…
The Party is on the 8th, but I wont be going, at least I don’t think I want to face you know who there, oh and those interested again, the X is(was) my classmate…and we dated for 2 years, well 1 year and 11 months for those keeping score…

But small issues aside college life was fun, no beer, drugs for me though… first semester was full of “wow check that out” , “ I heard she’s sleeping with him” , “I heard last night he got so drunk that he puked on himself”… second semester was more like “wow check that..who gives a shit” and that drawing subject( I hated that drafter)… third semester involved a lot of basket ball and bunking… fourth semester was Table Tennis / badminton time… fifth semester was the “getting hooked on to the relationship mode” _________________________________ memory lapse. Jokes aside, the journey was bumpy and rocky but what path isn’t … we had lots of fights, lots of tears shed…but somehow the good times, however few they might have been, always outshone the bad ones… there were some really bad times, but we pulled through it… but never once I heard the words “You’ve ruined my life” … I guess it was time to move on, countless apologies later, the dent is still there… I don’t know how I have done so, but…


Few memories of my college days will travel with me to my grave…those last minute assignments, bunking classes, canteen food, trips we took, those power station visits, the countless jokes that ran around, smsing in class, food court, winking games, uno, that last minute studying, complete nightouts, fests, the crowd… well the list is long, but you know what I realized… its not just a few memories I’ll carry with me, its those four years…
