Every Engineering Student Must Read This :P

“How to Waste 4 years of your life?”
     -Do Engineering!

Disclaimer:
1.  The following article is like a “TAKE DIVERSION” board for the students who’ve completed 12th and waiting for Engg Counselling.
2.  This is also a post which would try to rewind your college life if you’ve completed/on the verge of completing/yet to complete your engineering life.
3.  I’ve split the whole post into 6 different parts. Nothing special, Just to show off that I’m an ardent fan of Quentin Tarantino!!!     \m/ Tarantino’ism \m/
4.  (Only applicable for 2nd point) If you’ve a CGPA above 8.5 or 9, You’re requested to Stop reading and consult a Psychiatrist nearby. You’re some rare form of Species.
5.  Even if you don’t like it… ‘Like’ it.
6.  If you really Like it, ‘Share’ it.
7.  Thanks for reading this Disclaimer and wasting one minute.


The Trap
“right’u… 12th epdiyo mukki pass panita! Aduthu enna… Engineering ah?” a random Uncle asks.

Tadatataan tadatataaaaan… tann tann tannn… (Bgm)

You will feel as if you’re some mass hero when you realize that you’ve completed your schooling and going to enter the most interesting part of life.

‘ENGINEERING COLLEGE’

You’ll feel Superior to the Superman!
   
There is a common attitude among every citizen in India, that ENGINEERING is more cool/attractive than ARTS group. (Anga thaan iruku TWISTUU!!!)

School Students will attend many seminars like ‘Jeyithu Kaatuvom’, ‘Naama Yaarunu Kaatuvom’ ‘Mass Kaatuvom’ all Kaatuvom’s!

There will be eminent ‘educationalists’ like Jayaprakash Gandhi and others (no…no… not Rahul Gandhi, He’s busy in some Dalit’s house).
These educational experts will convince you that,
(as if he had evaluated every single paper in every dept. Dude! check out how many attempts those experts made to clear Digital Signal Processing a.k.a Degree Stopping Paper)
  • Engineering has Wide Opportunities(Very True)
  • Engineering is a Safe Bid (Quite True)
  • After Engineering Your life will have a GOOD SCOPE! (idhu chumma BIO‘SCOPE’)
  • You Do Engineering. You get Job* (* - Conditions apply!) 
  • We’re BORN TO DO ENGINEERING (Now that’s a LIE!)

You calculate your CUT-OFF marks and will select the college in prior. Go to Chennai, attend the Engg Counseling and there is another twishtuuu…!
The college you’d chosen in your mind will be chosen by some random girl, seconds before you select it.

What else. Put ‘Inki-pinki-Ponki’ Choose another college.


What about the Department?
“Hmmm let me think for a while… Ahhh…!” that cool dialog from Minnale flashes in your mind
Oru Mechanical Engg Padika oru Fire Vendaam’

You ask the ‘Computerji to LOCK… Mechanical Engg’
The very next moment it gives a ‘bulb’ that the course is not available in the College you’ve chosen.

Now you get damn confused. No More Life Lines.

“Oru fire’um vendaam pesaama Triple E padi” your dad locks you and the computerji at the same time.

You go meet some random final year engg guys and ask about the scope of engineering.

“Anna, Engineering epudi? Nalla Scope irukaa?”

They giggle and look at you top to bottom like a “bali-aadu”(scape goat). You get confused once again.   They reply,
“Yeah Yeah! Definitely Definitely!”


First year
You buy Branded shirts, shoes, watch, Pen, Pencil, ‘lubber’.
You check yourself in the mirror twice.
You go to the college to find that your school Kindergarden has better infrastructure. Also you’ll go to the ultimate state of depression and act like maniac, when you find the college is without ‘Structures’.
Well! You know what I mean.
You try to be a good boy, attentive in the class. But all you get is some criticism from the Discouraging/pessimistic group of creatures in human dresses called ‘Discipline Committee’ What the hell… they ask you to wear the cuff buttons, I.D cards, Paal Card, Visiting card etc.
But still you try to believe that ENGINEERING is COOL!
P.S: First year’la No Ragging and all in our college Boss! Adhelaam Dote.1 college la thaan nadakumaama Neenga vera!

Second Year

Your Internal Marks Gradually goes downhill.
You start looking at Computer Science Dept staffs instead of the Computer!
Hmm yeah!
you know what i mean! They are far better!
You start bunking. Your Friends start to smoke and drink. But you…
“No… No… Only SIDE DISH!”
You’ve some interest in some subjects for some lame reason. But you’ll be clear in your goal setting.
“After two years! Me… in L&T only!” And few like minded people,
“Machaan! CORE thaanda ponum! Software laam galeeju!”
You nod your head and dream about L&T without knowing that an ‘E’ has fell into your TEA!

P.S: I.V laam waste boss! School tour eh better! You go to some nearby village in the name some I.V



Third Year

You lose interest in studies to the level of bunking college and watching some Telugu Dubbing movie, that too in theatre! But the like minded people and you still didn’t lose your hope on L&T.
Computer Dept Staffs* get married-honeymoon-then resign.

You know what I meant really! (idhelaam matum nalaa puriyum)
*-All you can do is attend their reception and eat ‘romali roti


Then comes the pre-placement training. You attend everything without fail. You gear up the following skills,
  • Communication skill
  • Group Discussion
  • Leadership ability
  • Technical skills

   You try to solve aptitude problems, relationship
   Problems.
   (dude this ain’t the other ‘relationship’  problem)  

It’s the real one. It’d be like…

“If A’s sisters elder brother was B’s husband, then   how C is related to the second wife of D?”

Then comes another Twist. You hear from your seniors at the end of 3rd year, that there won’t be any ‘Core Company’ recruitment in your campus. Even if it happens, the salary package is very less. And (Only) Software companies will do the recruitment predominantly. You get vexed. Your friend’s who said, “Macha! CORE thaan Gethu! Software Galeeju!” would be the first ones to sit in the software placements.

You get pissed off! Curse all the gods! Then you might/might not get this ‘ENLIGHTMENT’ suddenly! (this would be discussed in the next part)

Final Year

Now the whole class divides into three,


THE MAJORITY:

1. People who change their minds, who really care about the Money. Who doesn’t have the technical skill, but boast themselves like they don’t want to toil in field work in CORE and plans to stretch their arms in A.C in glass covered software MNC office. 

They CANNOT be proudly referred as ENGINEERS! 

7/10 will belong to this category, hell yeah the Majoriy!. It means in a class hardly more than 95% of them go in (cattle) herds, walk towards the Software industries just to sit in the AC not to apply their computer skills (come on how could you expect those skills by gawking at the computer dept staffs?)


  
THE MINORIY:

2. At least 2/10 People who stick to their words, Who doesn’t give a damn about the Salary and has good technical/aptitude/managerial skills. They opt for CORE COMPANY. Some even prepare for GATE exam/CAT exam with utmost sincerity.

They CAN be proudly referred as ENGINEERS*!

(*-Those who really have those Technical skills - Born to do Engineering! *RESPECT*) 
  


Now the 3rd category Ladies and Gentlemen!!!



THE ENLIGHTED ONE: (THE IDIOT)

As the title says, it is about the ‘ONE GUY’ who gets ENLIGHTED (especially after watching the 3 idiots movie),  suddenly after witnessing 3 years of his life getting wasted down the line/drainage.

He takes his school file which has certificates which he won in many competitions. He suddenly realizes that he has that skill! (anything like writing/drawing/music etc). He realizes he has that thing INBUILT which he failed to develop for years.

He thanks the god whom he cursed before.

(He may even end up making SHORT FILMS!, Which has been the recent craze!)


He asks his heart whether pursuing that skill is the right decision! Anyway it doesn’t talk, just pumps blood - ‘lub dub lub dub’. He converts that sound into an YES!

He Jumps up and down ‘EUREKA! EUREKA!’
His Dad comes behind him and asks,
“Adhu yaaru da Rekha? Adapaavi, 4 varushama idhathaan senjiyaa! Tharuthala tharuthala!”


He calculates, 4 X 365 + 1(leap year) = 1461 days,
which has been wasted but anyhow tries to complete the degree for the sake of Marriage Invitation!
(You know what I mean!)

He watches the ‘STEVE JOBS Stanford Commencement speech’ and decides to follow/live his dream.


“He will seem like an ‘IDIOT’ to everyone, until he Succeeds!”




Escape from the Trap (Conclusion)

You have to be within the above 3 categories.

You belong to Majority/Minority

Or

An IDIOT?

(Plus 2 students, Decide this in Prior. Don’t waste 1461 days)

Now coming back, You complete the degree successfully within 4 years, just like in movies where the hero becomes rich within 4 minutes.

You get the degree certificates in your college and walk along with your friends, as you meet a guy who just finished his 12th probably for admission after the counseling.

“Anna, Engineering epudi? Nalla Scope irukaa?”, He asks.

You and your friends giggle and look at him top to bottom like a “bali-aadu”.    


Then reply,
“Yeah Yeah! Definitely Definitely!”


THE END.
