National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur
Its my final semester in the college, still i feel the same tension when the exams begin as i used to get in the first year, the same joy when the exams are over. Tears fill my eye when i think about leaving it in another 3 months. I still remember the day i entered this college, this dust bowl-the place known as jamshedpur. I wanted to return home-back to mumbai, but stayed back on my dad`s insistence. After all this is supposed to be National Institute of Technology, or NIT as we know, but nothing looked like of national importance, neither could i get the feeling of being in a technical institute. It took us really long time to reach the college, not too much distance..about 12 kms..but the sights during the back breaking journey made my determination to go back strong. The first sight-herd of cows grazing in front of administrative building. Next the rickety hostels which i was sure would fall if i touch them..and the best part..the mess food..if anyone would have offered it to the dogs, they would have prefered to stay hungry.
But things do change, and the change was too much to digest..a beautiful digital library, gardens and manicured lawns, fountains everywhere, and after i saw hostels of other nits as well as iit kgp i was more then satisfied, our hostels were much better. What next - WiFi next month.
But to me, my college is much more-i met people from all over india, made best friends here, organised parties, had treats and helluva fun.The relationships i made, i wish them to last forever.
I remember my disastrous first year, laid back second year, hard working third year, and i`m enjoying to the fullest the fourth and final year. I got much more than i asked for. Relaxing and chilling out here, i feel that god makes good decisions for us!! The hostel life taught me too much about life-some good, some bad..but as they say-life is not always a bed of roses. Last week, I went out to a few companies for sponsorship for our cultural fest..Enjoyed it..Was a bit skeptical about what they`ll say..would i stammer..but it was a cake walk..Hopefully life remains cool as this always..i love living this way..life is nice..On june 1st, i start a new life..my corporate life..with dreams in my eye, i jet set for the sky..
