Friends this is Sanket. One of the several lakh students currently studying engineering in India. New to the world of blogging but not new to the world of writing.
Was shy during most of my schoollife, with average scores, fewer friends and simple lifestyle. Gradually till the end of schoollife, the shyness somehow reduced and I was quite active in class activities. I was liking this sudden change. The world around you appears to change when you change yourself. Seeing around people who simply numerically added to the class figure, i realised that i shouldn't be one of them. Realised the importance of being active, being counted!!!
Engineering:
Engineering is the discipline and profession of applying scientific knowledge and utilizing natural laws and physical resources in order to design and implement materials, structures, machines, devices, systems, and processes that realize a desired objective and meet specified criteria.
This Wikipedia definition does not apply to me. Or for that matter to most people around me. The only machines i took interest in last two years is PC and Calculator, without understanding the working principles of either.
Sometimes looking around, find people around me craving for marks, mugging crap guides, paying hefty fees for classes, impressing teachers for termwork. Maybe that'll give them a good job, a good scoresheet to look upon. Some pride to salvage. But i wold never take this path. Don't mind bad grades if it helps me gain practical knowledge that maybe will not help me immediately but somewhere in future. Mugging some unimportant crap just because it has been asked several times over in the exams doesn't really exite me.
In the long run, the marksheet will just be a piece of paper but the experience and thrill of learing different things, thinking out of the box, will surely count.
