AAAAAAAthaaaaaa Naaaaaaan Pasaitaen (Kitty is now an Engineer)

I still do remember the day the day on which I was christened as a CEGian and the day that decided that my destiny was in that campus for the next four years. The first day of Engineering counseling for 2005 +2 passouts.

I had a lot of dreams, most of them misguided by the illusions of my school teachers. I learned all those blissful dreams are just sham within months, yet college life was blissful in a different way.

I never ever imagined that I would fail in an examination. That happened in my 4th semester, when I got an arrear in Internet Programming, thought health reasons had it, yet I failed. I added 1 to my history of arrears. The worst part is my parents didn’t react terrified as expected. May be they anticipated that I would fail!!!

And ya that didn’t stop with it, I had another arrear in my 6th semester C#.Net and again I had severe fever the previous day. Nevertheless, when I attended placements, I had exactly 1 history of arrears and 1 current arrear.

Somehow I never let the arrears to drag along. I passed both those papers right the next attempt. As always I proved good in projects. I have completed my final semester with an A in our Final year project. Left alone our performance in the first review, at least I would have got an ‘S’

As soon as we came out of the Final review Pandi my team mate started shouting ‘You got an S grade”. Anyway I am perfectly satisfied with an A. just 2 months before the final review we were praying that we should pass in our final year project.

The notorious User Interface Design, I have never studied a word in that subject for the entire semester, literally not even a SINGLE WORD, God’s grace and our dear Gopal Sir, I had passed with a B in it.

And ya thus I have passed in all the subjects and now yes I AM AN ENGINEER.

3 Things This week

I had 3 important or impressive things that I wished I share with you. One the movie Chasing Liberty, two our FYP 2nd review and finally the book "the 3 mistakes of my life" ordered by time.

After a weary project coding and testing this Saturday , I had a very bad mental
state. Too much of thinking about my project. I believed I couldn't sleep with this. I thought of watching this movie which is the only one left unseen in my Sweetie.

I started watching the movie just to get me out of this project mania but later I was completely drawn into it. One of the best romantic movies I have seen. The love and liberty chasing teenager and a young secret service agent trapped into something between duty and emotions. Finally the true potential of LOVE.

Just like the movie I needed something last night too. This time it is a book. I never expected the Indian kind would be so charismatic. I would definitely not appreciate the style with too much 'curses' though it made sense in the conversations. I wanted to read books of this sort to add something fruitful to my passion English.

Anyways i loved the book, inspite of me not being a cricket person and I agreeing with Govind's words "what would he do, take some good shots and make more ppl waste time before TVs". The romantic part as usual took me completely off guard I was sucked in like a dust particle into a vacuum cleaner. Then comes this thrilling part of riots and killing. Though a little tragic it went well at last. But I felt like I am watching a typical tamil movie.

Finally the big thing. Our Final Year Project's second review. In the 1st review when we disclosed my idea(will post the entire project report later) the panel was more skeptic than being impressed but they still wanted to see what we could do.

In the 1st review we were completely scored off. Actually we were no where then. We didn't even had an inkling of how we are going to do it. We gave some naive idea(though a little variation of it worked now) just for the sake of it. I was not bothered about marks but I let RP ma'am down.

Now it came to this. FYP 2nd review today. We are more scared than we were on the 0th review when more than a dozen projects where thrown off. The major fear was part of the project worked at times(lol) and the other worked well, which I guess the panel never thouhgt we would do. As feared this was not one of those times the part worked but still the other one worked and the panel was impressed and even Vani ma'am who saved us a lot of times tried to hurt some part RP ma'am saved us this time. Guess we will have more to share after the next review on Apr, 7th.
