Semesters of Change

There was no chance to quit studies after intermediate for me as I could not cheat my parents.My parents were caring and faithful to me. So I had to do something.In our country there is only one option for students after choosing PCM that is B.Tech from any prestigious college to show the people that we are in race. And these fools are not aware that why are they following the trend of B.Tech. I also aspired for B.Tech but my aim was just to get the degree so that no one can call me illiterate. But from inside I was always seeking knowledge not the marks. Though I did not scored 90% or more but I was confident and conscious.

My journey towards Amity started as it is a famed college and my elder cousin also passed four years here. I thanked Allah(swt) when I got selected for Civil Engineering in ASET.I was unaware of the storms and thunderstorms in form of faculties, hods, semesters, assignments, minors, majors etc waiting for me. If I was aware of all of future happenings in Amity, I would have quit. But that is life and we have to face and adjust ourselves and for the things to go in right way. From here my journey of semesters started.

I divided my four years into semesters and aimed at happy ending of each. Though every semester seemed to be tough but I made myself tougher. First semester started with shaking hand with Drona, he was CR. But what the hell is CR ? I asked him and he replied proudly. I said to myself that be ready for all these foolish stuff. In my first class I was sitting ahead of backbenchers(second last seat). All of them were vampires in the eyes of faculties. But they became my best buddies. So I also became one of them. First semester just passed in recognising room numbers and how to reach to different labs. Also there were new terms like proxy,OD,PL. The most frustrating was auxiliary notebook which was used to take readings.

Second semester gave me some good feel at Amity as the time table was loose compared to last sem’s. But I also understood aim of some faculties. There aim was just to pass time in form of classes and torture students in form of attendance. We were asked to reach the class before time. I always thought that “ohhh, we are humans not machines.we can not follow every second, we can be late”. But  there was no one to understand human nature. Faculties showed harsh behaviour and I with my group mates showed harsher behaviour.I was sent out of classes and lashed by words numerous times and I never regret for all of this. There is a quote by Umar bin Khattab (ra) :

“Sometimes people with worst past create the best future”

Exams came continuously and I was always same for every exam whether it was a minor, a major or an internal because I never prepared. Here I followed Edison who said :

“Tomorrow is my exam and I have not prepared of it because a piece of paper can not decide my future”.

And this is cent percent truth. Exams are nothing just copy-paste of questions from class rooms  to examination halls. In the class faculties do not know what to teach and how to teach, in examination hall I did not know what to write and how to write. All exams ended well I was never afraid of results because they gave me marks of my one night study not my full capacity and knowledge.

A new thing emerged and that was internship. If you want us to become industry ready then what is the need to concentrate only on theoretical concepts not the practical concepts in the classes. I also faced it. Both the time the rudest person was my guide and I was awarded least marks in the whole ASET. Though marks were more than 0.

Foreign language was also one of the irritating thing which pinched me on every Monday. Still I am not able to speak English fluently than how can you suppose that i can become a powerful Spanish learner. Time kept on going and I am still at 3-4 words of Spanish.

The best thing of my time spent in amity was support of my colleagues, every classmate of mine helped me and contributed to my personality. I am thankful to you all. Specially Chochu group and Piyush,Anilesh,Abhinav,Nilay,Rohit I can not imagine my life without you all. Every cherishing moment of my college life is connected with atleast one of you. Sometimes my heart beats faster that after college what will happen but I always tell a lie to myself that my college life will never end.

That’s life we have to move on for a brighter side. I didn’t get best things in Amity but I enjoyed them in the best way. I also did not get easy tasks but I enjoyed facing hardships. If I got some ease then automatically it was converted into some difficulties. I enjoy facing it with difficulties. This blog I am writing is at last moments just before the time deadline. I got much time to write it but again I am near to deadline.

If you don’t like a rule, Just follow it reach at the top and change the rule.

I hope that I will get chance and change many rules and regulations inside Amity as well as outside Amity.
