It was just another ordinary year, but with one tiny difference. I had these huge exams which I had do atleast decently in order to get into a good college and 'put my life into some reasonable path'. The year began with huge number of hours being spent under the studying lamp (like never before).Everyone was busy cracking the 'toughest' problems, be it in physics, chemistry or their 'life' problems... Fastforward -- March '08... The board exams are done and everyone was pulling up their pants for the dash of their lives. The exams kicked of in April with the 'great one', IIT leading the group. Finally one by one they took their toll... a few fell and a few survived, knocking down every pin in their way. Jumping to June '08 -- The results are out and there were numerous emotions to see on faces, but it appeared I had managed to survive the AIEEE. Quite happy about it, but was uncertain what course to choose, or would I be in a position to choose! Did a bit of homework and research and decided to take up either electronics or mechanical be it in surathkal( withe private beach) or trichy( the scorching town). It was July 4 -- the day of my counselling, fingers crossed i fill up my form, hoping that I would get ece in surathkal. The next day -- It was quite overwhelming, I had somehow got the seat, thanks to a few who made it through the AIR. But the story was not all joy, friends of mine were not able to make it through the AIEEE, so they had to choose a college in b'lore. And the worst part was that the college life was to start in 10 days. The packing started of in full 'josh' and I headed to the seaside town. The first class of college... and I don't remember a thing about it. At first I wasn't too optimistic about the hostel life, but you never know until you experience it yourself. I love this place; awesome sleep, great fun and wonderful friends. But, a well known fact, the mess food! :X ... Somehow scraped throught the first sem, with subjects like EG and Electrical, it was quite a tough job man!
Though there were 'troublesome' times the first sem flew by, and I was back in b'lore. And I have no clue why but I was so bored there that I did not mind staying in the hostel and braving the food, water shortage and the power cuts! There was always onething that has me all proud of NITK; the PRIVATE beach.
Well, we haven't actually gone to the private beach many time, 'cause of the wierd timings they have for that place. We usually go to the other part of the beach and trust me its much better than the one with the college sign over it. The sunset is the most beautiful of all the scenes over there! (I pity the guys who aren't in this place).
*That would be Sai's siluohette in front of the gorgeous sunset*
The best pass time in this place is I guess is being glued to a comp, either watching a movie, a sitcom or playing some game. So the rooms with the comps used to be like hubs and gaming parlour where the crowd of two or three rooms used to gather in one room.
Probably the most happening year yet for me, and I loved every bit of it!
