I often feel like walking on a tumoltuous rainly night……through the lonely streets, dark houses on the sides, towering solemnly……condemned by stong iron gates. And a lamp hanging from the perimeter walls, palely flickering with the gush of the winds.
Making the night look beautifully arcane.
Its more like those ‘feel good‘ day dreams…………..something that’s just so BEAUTIFUL to imagine. Feels like a rush of zeal!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So I’m currently a final semester student. How epic is that??
We had our class tests sometimes back.
We walked in without knowing the name of subjects we are having the exam on.
Though we knew the questions we were supposed to answer.
Our professors turned saints this last semester and gave us suggestions, out of which quite a few matched……so obviously the chill level was 100.
I walked in with only one pen which stopped working after 2 minutes.
My friend give me another pen……. which ran out of ink after 5 minutes.
Then our invigilator gave me her pen.
But then she had to sign attendance sheet……and went asking for a pen.
And when everything seemed sorted out, the guy sitting behind me ran out of ink and asked me for a pen.
Then we all left 15 mins early, making plans where to go for lunch.
And that my friends is how you roll in final semester!!
The job interviews are over and most of the students have offers in their hands………so there’s no motivation/force that can make us study now.
After 3.5 years of grilling its the college’s responsibility to make us pass……… otherwise where the hell are they gonna fit the new incoming students??
Last time I went so under prepared for a test was 3rd grade.
6 years no tv.
No kidding.
The parents gave up the #tv_connection !!
#Just_Indian_Parents_Thing 😛😛
But that’s when I got into everything else. Discovered new things and read new books, developed hobbies……..it worked out fine I would say.
We had computers and Internet in our home much earlier than it was common in the households…….so it was never really a ‘cut-off’.
But maybe that’s why I have such BAD HANDWRITING.
I have been blissfully typing on computers since I was 3 years old and never practiced handwriting like most kids……… with a pencil and ruled notebook! HOW BORING!
Thank god the world is getting digitalized otherwise I would have been in serious trouble!!!!!!!!!
Found this picture from my school days, 10th grade!! It was a crucial year but I had some awesome friends and it was so fun ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lost a bit of weight since then.
Alright!!
Guess what this is??
Guess
Guess
Damn hold on, what sorcery is it!!?? How did my Gold bar turn into a pendrive 😎😎
Here I’m making jokes, ‘Guess what, my gold bar is not a gold bar, its a pendrive!‘
Whereas some Arab kid is probably telling his friends, ‘Guess what, my pendrive is not only a pendrive it’s also a Gold bar 😂😂’
Right now I am just busy, selecting what I’m gonna wear for our farewell party…….. how about a yellow or a red saree??😊😊
Yesterday I bought a red shoulderoff dress for our college party next week……….I paying more attention to these kind of things now a days 😛😛
Anyways at the end of Engineering, this is EXACTLY how we feel.
Its was rough and tough but I would do it again.
That’s all for today my dear friends. Thank you so much for your friendship, I wish you a marvellous week ahead!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bye bye

After 3 years you are already an engineer nothing much happens on fourth year. So any technical questions ask you you will be able to answer but the thing that makes or breaks a deal are the apti questions. Just concentrate on those. And for the other companies that don’t take apti, just brush up your coding skills! It’s a stressful time, I know very very stressful…….. but is gonna get over someday!

It was tough but worth it. Our school had a lot of pressure, much more than other schools. My parents did everything to make me study but never forced me or pressured me into anything. Some of my friends had it real bad. There was a guy in our class, he was the first rank holder. His family owned a couple of hospitals and everyone was a doctor. So being the heir to all that he too was destined to become a doctor. They used to put a lot of pressure on him and he started running away from home in the middle of the night and disappearing for a couple of days till someone found him roaming on the streets. He still could have been a doctor given his dad’s connections but seeing how volatile he was, he pursued a different profession. Few kids actually had it bad.😖😖
