Down Memory lane....Part (3 & 4)

With the last submission of my (engineering) life over, I guess the time is right for me to conclude the series dedicated to my life as an undergrad.

Unlike the first two years....where life was cool, not too stressed and full of fun....the next two years did have their moments of anxiety, tension, fights, elections (Neta..must be frowning...)...They, still, were most important cpl of years of my life and have taught me lessons that I never had or probably never will learn again.

Moving on from second year...third year too had its share of exams, vivas, submissions, pestering teachers, boring lectures....college fests...NIRMAAN, TECHNO...SPACE...broken legs...GRE....CAT/Prep.....

Third year also taught me how to work in teams..managing time.....pulling off the impossible...hmm..I am talking about our PCT Project report.......the group had an entire spectrum of people....rite from Rahul G to Sumant ;-) (ofcourse there were Anish (seth)...Darshan (seth)....and the rest)

This year also forged and strengthened my friendship with a lot of ppl....(as maddy put it...."and friends for life they became...")..... Some very close and dear friends....some pals....some new acquaintances.....but all to be remembered for a long time to come.

Third year ended...with everyone having decided their future plans...JOB/CAT/GRE....some confused lots like me...decided to give all three a shot ;-)....

Neway fourth year started with everyone of us securing a job...most of us then embarking on the CAT prep road...also, in between gave GRE/TOEFL....and of course the usual nonsense of college submissions, assignments, viva continued.......

However, the highlight for me in my final year was the PROJECT.....The highs and the lows (read Computer Ass(es)ociates) ... moments of joy....abusing and cursing ppl for no reason (for maddy, seth and neta....SHEDAAP...haha)...in short it was great fun. Would remember the fridays at C.A. forever.

Another event worth of mention was CAT....even though the end result for me was disappointing....the whole experience was a great roller coaster ride....I atleast am proud to have scored a decent percentile (even though its of no use now ;))...

And so... the fourth year is too coming to an end...and with it my life as an undergrad at S.P.C.E. At the moment am still confused about my future (read either fellowhip at IIT....or job at infy)....But still one thing is for certain... I will be leaving S.P.C.E. with mixed feelings....sad because I will be leaving a place where I have had a great time ....happy cos now I have a great set of buddies.......

And as Jim Carey (in the TRUMAN SHOW) put it " If I dont see ya..Good Mornin, Good Afternoon and Good Night..."

BYE BYE S.P.C.E.

STUFF I LOVED/HATED ABOUT S.P.C.E

Things I will miss > Things I wont miss

SPACE > FACE

Vidyalankar Crashes > College Lectures

Class Tests > Sem Exams

Vrindavan, Shettys > College Canteen (btw..whr is it?)

SPCE Junta > College Profs

Comp Labs > Worskhop (urgghhh!!)

Bunking > Attendance

QUAD > SPCE OFFICE

Printouts/Submissions > Practicals (never did them.. u see)

I guess the list is endless…and kind of reflects our lives at SPCE. But one thing is for sure, I will SURELY MISS SPCE. Have had a great four years with the Class of 2005 (CMPN) and would cherish them forever. Love you all.

FAREWELL.....2005

Pics from our farewell on April 6th.

P.s Down memory lane series will be up shortly...might take some tho..


BE CMPN 2005 (S.P.C.E)

madman, me, mi10

Why?...Why?....Why????????

Been awhile, since my last post,.......no it wasnt because I was busy or anything.....just that I am the most lazy person that ever was and ever will be.....(forget real beings, i'd beat even mythological characters....read: Kumkaran).....

Not that I didnt come across anything to write about.....infact had a lot of things to write about.....for instance farewell....india/pak cricket....down memory lane series.......
I just cant explain, why do I let things to pile on and on....and only when they are staring down at me in the form of a mountain...do I realise how I let time slip by....

Yourll, must be wondering why am I getting so worked up about such a small thing of not blogging.....

But for me it aint a small issue....cos be it either blogging...writting assignments....or studying for exams...I always follow the same sick failed approach of "LEAVING THINGS FOR LAST GODDAM MOMENT!!!!!"

P.s: My midsems coming up this weekend....and I still havent opened my books...(pls believe me...am not lying..) and here I am wasting my time in blogging some rubbish....aaaarghhhhhhhh!!!

Somethin for all SPCE'ites

Check out maddy's post......

Down memory lane.........(Part 2)

Moving on from the prev post.......

End of first year was followed by a long break....If I recollect correctly.....after a long time I did "Nothing" in this break....(imagine hadnt had a proper break for 3 yrs!!!)...Went out with friends..saw movies..ate..slept..etc etc....
Also went on a trip to Lonavla...was great fun, but for an incident that got etched in my memory(and probably everyone else's) forever.....We had gone to Bushi dam (in lonavla)....had a good time...on the way back, saw some gambling stalls.....one thing led to another........and we ended up losin 1300 bucks!!!.....
End of the day :- Imp lessons were learnt....."NEVER GAMBLE AGAIN....and if you do...."DONOT GAMBLE AWAY EVERYTHIN.....KEEP SOME CHANGE FOR THE AUTOFARE ;-)"

Enter sophomore....

The classes were now divided according to departments...Didnt know many in my new class..(apart frm Anish, Mi10)....Met Madhav (madman) for the second time (first, being on the first day of coll)...somehow we got along well.......and became good pals....later on gr8 pals....and later later on the best of pals.
Second year was probably the year I enjoyed most in college....probably cos I just had some really gruelling last 3 yrs...and also cos not many things occupied my mind (read CAT,GRE...blah blah).........Participated in fests...right from balloon figthing in Sophiya..to....representin Iran in a mock U.N. event at N.M
Also, due to Ash's stupididty of submitting an abstract of a paper that did not exist,......I found myself in a situation where we had to complete a paper, right from scratch, in less than 24 hrs !!! But we not only completed the paper....made the ppt ...reached the venue on time....decided who will say what.....presented it....and also got an applause from the audience.....;-)

Strangely second year had a lot of "firsts" for me....for the first time... I started joining coching classes for engineering (Madhav, all your fault)...for the first time...organised events....Techno..Space..were gr8 fun...for the first time... scored a distinction ..(all thanx to you Madhav, for convincing me to join those classes ;-))

Another highlight of second year was how I learnt to put maska on our profs..(all thx to Anish seth) so that they correct our assignments..give us better grades.and dont harass us much....I still remember running after Kallu everytime to get our assignments corrected...

And so this year too came to an end.......By the end of the year had a great new set of pals...Maddy...Netaji....Anish..Mi10..etc etc .....

Comin up....Part 3......
