Back in my Den with fresh new dreams and plans
So i'm back again in my hostel.Reached here on Sunday.Monday turned out to be a holiday due to Jyoti Basu's demise.Had there been no holiday then this semester would have turned out to be the first one in which i would have been successful to attend the first lecture of the first day of my fresh semester..But let's see if i am able to get up in time tomorrow for receiving a warm welcome by Mr. Khushdeep Singh,the most dreaded Prof. of our department..Like previous times,this time also i have come back to hostel with some of my plans for a fresh new semester and i hope that this time i'm able to work accordingly..but only time will tell this and for the time being "I don't want to piss on my present by worrying about my future!!"

school frnds--special ones
So finally got some time to update my blog after those boring and tense exam days..Yesterday was a walk down the memory lane as I got a chance to spend quality time with my school frnds-kanwar aka "DRUMMER DOC", kulli-"THE BODY BUILDER",Moti-"THE TECHIE" and rakesh-"A NICE CHAP"....Two other were also there but they can just be tagged as classmates since i was'nt close to them.We all began with a brief talk about what is going on now-a-days,the obvious answer exams and vivas..Then shifted gears to our life since we entered college..A mixture of happy,sad and tense moments but the tense and sad ones gaining an upper hand over the rest..All of us totally exhausted and frustrated with the system governing our lives-Useless assignments, practicals,exams and vivas because they just promote the tendency of mugging up things without much understanding of them,in particular,of their use in our lives. Then,all of a sudden we enter our school days..an image of a child dressed up in a uniform with hair properly combed with the so called"side partition"..lol..A heavy bag over the shoulders containing the literature,language and composition copies plus books,school diaryand lunch box..
May be with water bottle.This is what we used to be during our initial school days..Fights over petty things even for drinking water from each other's water bottle..Waiting for the P.T period every week with that LATHI sir..Making queues with proper forward,right and left arm distance!! The only work to do was homework and assignments or projects,if any. No worries about future, the only thing in mind was that we have to move to higher classes..dat's all.But still we people were'nt happy at that time and used to fascinate about a carefree-studyfree college life..In fact, all such fascinations and thoughts due to our parents and other people around us who used to say that you only need to work hard during this time as college life's all about having fun.But once moving away from school, all worries about future set in.During 11th and 12th,the only good thing which happened to us was perhaps we got our own bikes..well this is what i think because i luv bikes! So the wait was over..we got admissions in different colleges..A happy an dproud feeling did set in for a while..But after a few months entering the college,everything vanished. All we had in our minds was nothing but sessionals, assignments, presentations, lectures, notes, practical files and in case of some, placements.Tried to cope up with all these for a while but later on when frustration set in, we rather i just let my life take is own course..Re-appears, passing exams with the passing figures..This what all happened and still happening..We want to be successful in future but at the same time don't just want be trapped in all this stuff..
SO,Yesterday we again repented that we missed out much more beautiful moments which we could possibly lived while in school but spent that time thinking of a college life full of fun and enjoyment..And now, we are just passing our days with fond memories of school and also with the thoughts that those days were perhaps the best and we won't ever get such days in our future..so still many things that i missed out but have to go out to purchase loose sheets needed to complete my practical file for my final viva tomorrow!! So after that walk down the memory lane yesterday we all are back to our respective worlds and i have decided that i won't spend the rest of my college life thinking and repenting that those school days full of innocence are over coz i have a firm belief that i will think over the same lines once i move out of college and join some company!!

Engineering-the word has lost its feeling and meaning!!
After the postponement of the first regular exam, finally appeared for my semester exam and the subject EMFT---full of derivations and confusion..I wonder what an engineer will do of these derivations once placed in some company where troubleshooting and maintainence of machines is all what you have to look after!! For this troubleshooting and maintainence work not the derivations but practical knowledge,experience and may be some out of the block thinking is required-atleast this is what i believe..An engineer is a person who has knowledge of what's going on in the technological field and what could be next i.e a vision of what can be the next thing.
And what we people are learning in college is: basics with applications which are outdated in present day scenario, copying files and assignments a night before the submission date, working on useless electronic kits meant for formality and not experimentation and many more petty useless things not in my mind right now. Right from the school days i have been looking for chances to learn and do something new.When i entered college, i thought perhaps this is the place where one can explore the world outside the books.But, a Big NO to all such things even in an institution which should be offering you something different from the cramming stuff. Perhaps in the two and a half years that i have spent in my college what i have learnt is perhaps orkuting,spending time on facebook,locking the doors of fellow hostellers and running way after banging them, beating about the bush while answering questions in exam, going out for eating PARANTHAS in wee hours of the day when perhaps the whole world is asleep etc. etc. All this just because of one factor- i have no interest in cramming these derivations and relations between quantities when i am very well aware of the fact that all this stuff is completely useless..
Indeed, "Concentrated H2SO4 ne poora BACHPAN jala dala and AB in derivations ne college lyf"..!!!!

----THE BABA FACTOR-----
Definitely THE BABA FACTOR haunting the PTU PEOPLE..Since i have joined college the uni has never been able to conduct exams according to the datesheet which they post on their website..
In my 1st sem (dec-2007) the exams were 2 b held in december itself but ..They revised the datesheet and we appeared for our exams in Jan,2008..This is'nt the end..Even in the 2nd and 3rd sems we witnessed the same thing happening again!!
In the 4th sem, just 1 week ledt be the exms nd we alll wondering if PTU's so called record will be broken or not..And as if the heavens wanted this postponement sterak to continue..The BABA FACTOR played its role...riots all over PUNJAB..and exmas postponed for a couple of weeks..!!
And guess wat...this tym again THE BABA FACTOR comes into play..Due to incidents in Ludhiana (courtesy::the BHAIYYAS and BABA) the very first exam postponed..The uni put the notice on its website late evening the day before exam--may be they were hoping to break the postponement record but this was'nt in store...
So PTU is no longer PUNJAB TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY but POSTPONEMENT TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY...with the backing of THE BABA FACTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
