Its my very first writeup , so i have thought to write on engineering... if you are an engineering student you may relate  it and if not,  I hope you will enjoy reading.

So i finally came to an engineering college, a partial dream come true after 2 years of slogging .... What had brought me here, were the high salaries students these days were getting, after getting into IIT’s ,but like most of the exam takers , i ended up in a second grade college.
Most of the students who were ex-toppers were seen slogging before exam and praying just to clear exams.

We enjoy all other time in our college except the weeks in which exams are held and we seriously do. Staying away from guardians does provide a lot of freedom.  Hanging out with friends in the campus, sleeping in class, giving proxies, mass bunks, taking computer games seriously ,infact very seriously , watching movies through out the day , waking up at noon, we even started watching soap operas, life here is completely different . Here we proudly say that we have not taken a bath for 7  or 10 days and the best part is students who have led a disciplined life throughout  now begin feeling ashamed. I don’t know what we are doing is right or not but we are loving it.

I would like to end it by making every engineering students remember something…..


till class 10 :  ” study till boards after that you can do whatever you want.”

class11-12:   “its only 2 years more after that it like picnic in the college, believe me its true!!!

After entering into an engineering college and getting average G.P.  : “you were not like this, what happened to you,  study hard to get placements if you want to live a happy life.....”
i am still not able to reply  to questions which  ask me what #engineering is all about, or what have i learnt till now,Good or Bad i don’t know but we are enjoying each and every moment here , and i suppose that is the most important thing, future will ultimately take its own course of action…..
