I am working in such a company where you either work your ass out day and night, or you will have no work at all and you will be roaming around disturbing others who are working seriously.. Today is one of those days when even though i have work, i am not interested in doing it..
actually i was assigned a work with a schedule of 3 months, and i already finished more than 50% of it in the past 3-4 days, so i thought of taking things slowly.. i mentioned this here just so that others will realize that i am a genius :D .
But today is a bad day for not working, since all those whom i disturb or who disturbs me are either on leave or working too seriously.. this led to me thinking about the sequence of events in the past which made me sit here and write this..
Now where should i start this.. Let me start with how i ended up in a NIT even though i didn't know what it was 2 months b4 joining. It was the summer of 2003, i had finished my +2 exams and the TNPCEE entrance exams and enjoying my holidays. Then suddenly one day my dad came home with a set of applications and asked me to sign those saying that one of his college colleague's son is studying in NIT and they are good set of colleges(i did not give a damn about what he said and just signed thinking who will go to such hifi colleges). I had not written AIEEE as well, the marks of which were the criteria for getting selected to NIT's. Luckily or should i say unluckily for us TN people they were considering our own entrance examination marks.
Then came the day of counseling. When my turn came up, i had 3 choices in my mind, NITW-Mech, MNNIT-CS and MNNIT-ECE in the same order mentioned. Just b4 i went to the counseling desk i crossed out the first choice since mech was not the most happening branch. So left with 2 choices, i was not able to make up my mind.. At first i filled MNNIT-CS and submitted it, but i don't know what struck me at that moment, i took the form back and changed it to MNNIT-ECE. That was my first mistake since it happened so that scoring marks in CS was easier than ECE.
College started and first semester got over so fast that by the end of it i got a CGPA of 5.75/10. Then came the life changing semester. Even though i did not study much in this semester as well, i got above average marks in Class Tests, and i thought if i put some effort during end semesters i could muster some good grades. Then came the D-Day, the day of my physics exam. I got such good grades in class test that i thought i can easily get an 'A' grade in it, and i prepared really hard. But in the end i wrote the exam so bad(got some 7 out of 40, still got a 'C' due to my CT marks :) ) that i came back to room and started crying like a baby..
After crying for some 1 hour or so, i fell asleep. When i woke up i was confused and was not able to concentrate much. Then suddenly out of no where, a bulb glowed in my silly mind, which helped me decide that studying is the last thing in my life and from that moment onwards i never took my engineering seriously.
That was the only year i spent my summer enjoying @ home.
I still don't know if the decision i took on that day helped me or not, but 1 thing is for sure, i enjoyed the next 3 years of my college life like anything. I did not care for anything or anyone. This resulted in me spending the next 3 summers @ college doing summer courses to complete my engineering. Overall i had to repeat 7 subjects in the summer courses, and in the end i could not even cross CGPA of 6 and because of that there were limited number of companies i was eligible during campus selection. I was rejected by 6 companies in interviews as i told them that i enjoyed my college life and that is the reason for less marks scored. I told the same answer to this company's interviewers as well. I don't know what they were thinking while selecting me but i ended up here (actually i could not even write a simple recursive program during my interview :P)..
Now 3 years down the lane, i am still in the same company, sometimes pondering about that decision i made 6 years back on that fateful day. That is one of the main reasons i am still in this company, since around 1 year back i seriously tried to change company, but no one called me citing my CGPA to be very low :(..
But i being me, will get over it by the time i publish this blog :P.
Life ni lite ga theesuko is my motto :)..
I am poor at verbal, so there might be many grammatical mistakes and such, ignore those... :P
yay i completed my first blog successfully though it is very long and boring :(..
I am almost sure that i may not write another one.. But what can i say. I thought the same about the first one and here it is..
