It was probably... 19th July 2005.... I landed on the land of holy sangam... Allahabad... where they say that religion, culture and history all come together....
Taking up engineering was just a matter of Chance that i happened to visit my maternal uncle just before the iron gate of Nepal.. they say... i.e, Boards of 10th..
Born in a family where... computer engineers.. would mean... studying up commerce and then be able to run computers.... I just went on to take up Engineering without having a clue what engineers do.. and why do i need to do...
Fighting Daily with life... from classes in school.. to CLASSES in FIITJEE... really was one of the worst period of the student life... or say... was the most important...
Again... thanks.. to the laws and regulations.. that despite being born in the border in India, I was able to get a Nepalese citizenship...
that all made it easy to crack NIT and.. guess what.. one fine morning i woke up and realised.. that i would get an admission as easily as I would have got in to Kinder Gardern ...
Ah.. life was so easy... And i just moved on...
But guess what... This is where it all Started...
With Dreams.. and Aspirations.. of becoming the Next Mohan Khetan( richest person in Nepal) .. or now I can say.. of becoming the next Ambani... i landed @ Allahabad... i just realised that there is something called PLACEMENTS in Life.. too..
It was just a week in... and I could just hear... people either scolding us for not wearing the college uniform (as we were Nepalese.. and dint have to follow rules) OR talking abt... Amazons and Yahoos and Microsoft... I wondered why do people wanna really join these companies.... and what is it all about working in these companies....
Ah I missed something... Its.. the decision of taking ECE as my engineering degree.. Even I get surprised over me choosing the decision of taking up the course... It was just a phone call.. and.. thats it...
I was in... in and was having a smooth journey.. when We faced someone called Assem Mukharjee....
This guy changed the way I did engineering.. and not in a good way .. is what i am sure now...
Anyways... it was 3rd year... in engg.. and i could sense a difference.. a difference... in the attitude and behaviour and every other aspect of people..and frens..
Suddenly something called CPI ( CGPA ) and Avishkars and IITs ( technical events ) and.. what not became life for people... and i wondered what was the motive to follow and be a part of all this...
No doubt, it was a great way to bring all your theoritical knowledge into practice and.. it brought the best of you... Thanks to Paudel Brothers ( esp.. Sunil and BA urf Dandapani Paudel..) .. even I had some chance.. of winning.. accolades which would never have been possible without them... Went.. to IIT moving wires and managing Logistics...
But.. it was final year. that changed it all.. I never studied for Placements... but I was able to crack 1st written of a core company of Electronics which people could not who even spent months at summers studying...for the same...
And then it was one after one.. infact. it was failure one after another.. not in the ones which would hire in bulks.. but in the ones which would pick up Gems ( which only they think they did.. ) and leaving me behind.. thinking me a Carbon I guess.....
But.. i never wanted to do. it.. and i could just console.. that i just wanted to be like.. Ambani.. or Khetan as i mentioned above...
And again.. one fine morning.... it was.. a mail from sibm@edu which changed the way i saw the world again... The dreams... were ON.... again.. MBA it was...
i have already written.. my diary on.. my journey to... MBA before MBA in my previous blogs....
(end of part 1.. part 2 abt to come very soon.. and it will be about.. where will it all end.. )

hey..
ReplyDeletegr8 post..but I doubt it will end somewr...evry end u try to reach will only lead u to the beginning of somethin else....just enjoy the journey!
There was a guy who had goals of his own.
ReplyDeleteHe was loitering in my college just for fun.
His wastage of that time was best of mine.
I had someone to talk to,
someone to go to before every single exam
and still have someone to look forward.
Everything happens for good ....... so did that.
God, paved him his way and gave a friend.
I wish to work together again, not moving wires and doing silly mistakes anymore(Forgetting statement of MATLAB to comment).
May be for something we both are longing for.
waiting for part 2.
Good luck Aakash.
very well written ....but if only life could be jotted down in a few grammatically correct lines...and where it's all gonna end...good luck figuring that out...dude there are just too many variables .. the best that u can do is to live it as it comes and someday with little luck another intelligent idiot will write "that i just wanted to be like.. Ambani.. or Khetan ..or Rungta " :atb ;)
ReplyDelete@all above thanks...
ReplyDeletethe thing is.. even i dont know where is it going to end.. and. i guess. i will keep posting.. things in between
