"August 18 2003" ...I can never forget the date, and like me there are many who cant!! It was my first Day in my engineering college!!
After counseling at JEE i got Electronics and Telecommunication branch is a local college.Father was reluctant to send me Outside He said wont be able to cope up with the hostel life outside.N my life was doomed!.How can one live in so much restrictions.I always longed for the breath of fresh air!
On 16th of August,I went to the Old college campus of P.I.E.T,that was functional in a stadium .After a brief introduction,Orientation,expectations and a chance to meet trustees..i saw many of my college mates that day...And I met my best friend Shivani...I had seen shivani many times when i used to roam in my Colony .I got introduced to her personally by a common friend.I ommmited the plan to go to new college building as Ma had some important work.
As per given in the Prospectus,the college was at Outskirt of Rourkela,(My all time favorite)In a place called "Mandiakudar"(Kansbahl)
On that very day , I was supposed to reach college old college campus at 7:30 AM.I was a kinda nervous...It was drizzling outside I remember..and there was lot of suffocation in bus!!!
I was wearing a a salwar with cream n black strips , stiffly tied pony and a small bag to carry!
After studying in one of the best CBSE schools in Town..my expectations were quite high...especially on the college in which i will study..but the moment i stepped my foot in the campus of college !! ?**&^#$$%%%!@ I was shocked....
It was nothing more than a couple of rooms...lousy lavatories !I was just unable to take it...Nothing could be done..coz i was already in the college ..I started crying!!!every day religiously I cried at home .but i knew..i wont be helped..coz it was my mistake of securing less marks in 12th..Father always had very high expectations me.And he couldnt accept the fact that i was not a 9 point scorer!
So I dint had any choice but to prove them that I was still the same !!I gained strength and again resumed my college with only one intention!!!I will study hard harder and hardest....
Studies apart , the college was a nightmare...95% of guys were mirror cracking materials..which we used to say in our dictionary as NALS!!!Disgusting.
Somehow , I managed ! I managed my worst part of life! ! That was one point i appreciate till date when i faced a challenging situation!
Something bigger than being great n famous is learning to live life full of challenges!
