Well, I do fell that I need to give explanation of my unforeseen and comprehensible disappearance from cyberspace for the past few weeks. I took admission into the College of Engineering Roorkee (COER). Now I am a B.Tech student. Like all others.
I thought that the education pattern in the Engineering colleges wouldn't be much different from the school education, considering that both of these find education to be their ultimate purpose. I thought that the students living in the boarding schools would be much familiar to the lifestyle in the college... living away from home. I had considered that the food would not be comparable to home, but would have the basics similar. I had thought I would have the time of my life.
Firstly, I was WRONG almost everywhere! The food is crap. The teachers talk Greek. The instruments are martian. AND again...THE FOOD IS CRAP!
Comparison of the food at home to the mess-food is like comparing the Eiffel tower to a freaking brick wall in terms of architecture. It's like comparing Megan Fox to any girl passing by in terms of looks. Its like comparing the milky way to the moon in terms of size!!! You get potatoes in every possible cut, shape, size, appearance, color, design and flavor in the mess dishes. You get tomatoes that have been peeled by a man without fingernails. You get vegetables that you can't recognize without looking at the menu chart. You can get things you didn't know, existed between the sky and the earth! But despite all the hardships, problems, resistance, and upheaval... we still eat the food! There are harder things to engineering that just studies... harder and more horrible! Mortifying!
As of the teachers, they're brilliant. Everybody's is either a graduate or a post graduate or a PhD from an IIT or any other prestigious institution. They all know their subjects like we know the terrain in motocross mania! And they all have a congruent nature... They like to talk in languages that are UN-understandable to students. You don't need Wikipedia or Yahoo Answers to understand what has been taught...You need Google translate!
Now you must say that if everything here is so intolerable...how do I cope with all the collegeophobia! It's the friends people...the friends who make every moment of college life worthwhile...Its them who make you feel like you've come to a place that is solely yours...Where you belong!
You know what I learned after coming to this college friends... I learned that Its not the studies, the technology, or the teachers that make you a real engineer.
Its your friends. Its them who make fun out of thin air. its them who make you cherish every moment in a place where moments are rare to come by. They are the ones who slow down time.Literally (well of course it can actually slow down according to the special theory of relativity!)!
P.S Sorry for the delay in writing . Things will streamline from now onwards!
