Still I miss my college days in S.J.M.I.T and all my friends and classmates
Getting up in the morning and mindlessly running to the bus stop at around 7:30 A.M............
Memories of those days are still fresh in my mind.
In my last 4 years of B.E I met many people…. I was attached to many…. And worked and enjoyed with everybody I came across….
It was my first day to college.I was excited and terrified and nervous too .I was excited because it was my first day in college and terrified because I heard a lot about ragging.But luckily didn't undergo any ragging :)
I got up early and after hours of mulling on what to wear, I was ready.Bus stop was around 1 to 1.5 kms away from my house. My dad dropped me in his bike till the bus stop.After waiting there for 5-10 min college bus came.Bus was crowded and i was able to get into the bus.I saw few of them in bus were my seniors in school :) .Finally, I arrived at my destination…my new college. I was satisfied of getting into an engineering college(my parent's dream :) ).I was on time. I went to my class.I felt very uncomfortable on my first day in college. I didn’t know any of the persons in the class and was in total confusion. The atmosphere was new and I had no idea on how to approach the tutors and classmates. I thought that this was only within me. But later, looking at the other people I came to know that even some have the same thoughts running in their mind. I saw some familiar faces.Few of them were my schoolmates and PUC classmates :) This brought my tension down.After few minutes sir entered.He introduced himself and asked us to introduce ourselves.Since that was my first class like a sincere student i concentrated on each and every word he said.Almost 1 hr lecture made me realise that it was not just another one-year course;it required much more hard work. Less the time, more the amount of hard work would be needed…this was my first lesson.After that we were informed that no second lecture and i left home with my one-day old friends.
There were more than 100 students in my class,4 or 5 sitting in each bench.I was sitting with my other 4 friends.In few of the classes lecturers were asking more questions and whenever they used to ask question i was avoiding eye contact with them ;).I would like to thank all my lab batch mates who tolerated me for 4 years :) I always assembled the circuit horribly and damaged the capacitors , resistors ....and finally because of my mistake damage charge was shared by all my labbatchmates.
The first semester just went in completing assignments and files and sheets…. and suddenly got the Exam Dates…. than submissions,and study till late night only on day before exam… what a routine……….:(.
The most horrible part of my college life was my second year especially studying signals and systems and transducers and instrumentation..But at the same time i cant forget the Coorg trip organised during 3rd Semester.It is one of the most memorable trips, njoyed lotttttt.

Coorg Trip
When i was in 2nd year my parents had to go Mumbai.They asked me to stay in hostel for 15 days till they come back.It was the last week of the December and got the opportunity to celebrate new year with all my friends in hostel.New year celebration was awesome in hostel and there was a camp fire and we danced around it till 2 O'clock in the night.The next day morning new year day we attended the class in the morning and in the afternoon all of us planned to go for a movie. Around 15 or 20 of us went for a movie "DIL CHAHTHA HAI " with all the girls sitting in the front row and boys at the back row.
So on goes the next 6 semesters and finally entered the Final year … college “SENIORS”.. ready to rag FRESHERS……:) , Me and my frens ragged one Kashmiri junior guy in the college dhaba :) but luckily didn't get caught.
Our class had 2 doors one at the front and other at the back.Front door was used by the lecturers to enter the class whereas back door was used by us to bunk the class. :) ;)
Once me and my friends planned to bunk the class(It was optical fibre communication class) .As soon as lecturer entered the class from the front door , we came out of the class form the back door.Unfortunately lecturer noticed us going out of the class and he immediately came behind us and scolded us for next 10 min.He asked us to get the permission letter from HOD to enter his next class ;).
It is a nice feeling when u attend first day of your last year :).you try to show that you will be very busy.. in projects, seminars, viva , practicals etc.but in fact there wont be anything like that ;). you have enough time in last year only..and even less subject as compared to previous semesters.But between these four years you have also got something which is incomparable.
Last year to complete the project work me and my other 2 Friends came to Bangalore.Everyday we were going to Jayangar for the training.Of course faced lot of problems related to project and but we were able to complete it on time.
During these 4 years I have learnt very good problem handling skills and stress management….. How to meet deadlines ;)… by completing a week long assignment overnight…I would love to mention the names of people who were always there for me… whether we talk daily or not and those who were always there for me as a life supporting system…. But I’ll not because I don’t wanna hurt anybody my skipping their name by mistake….. :D…. those who are special for me know this and understand this….I and my friends used to make fun of lecturers in class .It was like a daily routine for us rather than assignments.I still miss the long hours time pass with friends….

Graduation Day
College Days…. the most Happy days of your life. Which teaches u almost everything and give a shape to your future. Gives you Friends for lifetime , some bad and good memories too… While I was in college i use to think when the college will be finishing and me going out of that place… but within the few days after I left college forever, I realise what Life i have lived and missing here after..
I have spent my four years of engg in a College Called SJMIT.Today also remember the first day of college,entered a unknown place, many new faces, with a tag “FRESHER”. Was not having any idea that it was a new Start of life
Now no more classes, labs and workshops, no more time pass in workshops for most of the sem and then scurrying for completion in the end. Gone are the days when we just used to come to college and boast about being an wannabe engineer, a wannabe is just about to me transformed into an Engineer. Its actually a Mixed feeling and dont know how our next session of life would be, would be missing a lot of good friends and some real Different Chaps…
Late night exchange of notes and last moment preparations made it even more worth.I will not miss these days, I will not miss those lunch time conversations (which were mostly nonsense), I will not miss those hangouts, and I will not miss those people as they live in me and my moments till this time.
Now, I have started my professional life… I just wish all my friends and acquaintances all the best for their future endeavors… I hope to stay connected with you all…. God Bless you….
Very cool title..
