Day one: High expectations

A day full of high expectations...

Is the perfect term to describe the first day in engineering college
Not because of something wrong or inferior but because of the hype and exaggeration created by society.
Engineering and medical colleges are the places where parents are proud to send their children...
Any other option is a shame to the most
Welcome to India!!!


When I entered the college premises for the first working day everyone was excited.
Folks were bragging about their entrance test marks.
In a nutshell, everyone was expecting to learn something related to the course they've opted for...
And many...
Sorry...I found out that the first-year engineering course is common to all the branches...I was unhappy

Chemistry, physics... The subject I was running from found me again.
The college has it's first day on Monday.
I wore a black T-shirt... unaware of the fact that you are supposed to wear white formals on Mondays!
I was looking like  one student from Hogwarts

I was nervous... I'm an introvert so don't make friends easily
I sat on the last bench, alone
Lectures on the first day were more of an orientation and I thought I was better on my couch sleeping all day watching the game of thrones.

I was surprised by the number of girls in the college less than 15 percent,
No wonder most Indian male engineers opt for arranged marriage...lol
An average, introvert guy like me had no chance for this four-year game
So I thought of writing this blog so I could reduce the regret of not being born in the house of Clooney's

Anyway... First day was not at all according to the expectations
Yes, I met some great teachers who were interested in teaching something new but teaching engineering for 30 fucking years made them less interesting...

So if it's your first day to the engineering college, my personal advice to you would be
Do not expect something new to happen in your life...
You won't be a computer programmer on the first day itself...
Have patience... And always expect the unexpected.

Fake influencers: The agents of manufactured reality

 Fake influencers: The agents of manufactured reality How many public figures do you follow on various social media platforms? It’s great to be up-to-date with what’s going on in their life, isn’t it? Maybe you’re a big fan of his/her work or post feed. Their presence on social media ensures that they stay relevant to the culture and give their followers a chance to get a peek into their lives. A good amount of following can be used to create awareness, raise money for a cause and create a strong community. On the flip-side, it can also be used to push products/courses that benefit only the ones who sell them, and imbibe ideologies that are biased and serve no good to society. Many of such influencers sell us manufactured reality time and time again. It can severely affect our well-being as being the consumers of the same. There’s a lot of political tension in the world. People divide themselves based on countries, beliefs, races, genders, and ideologies. Most of them are ...

Finding friends for the journey

Finding friends for the journ ey ... D one with the first week, I was quite bored to have no one to talk to ... Even if I loved to do things alone, I had to find myself friends on whom I can rely for these 4 years and establish a bond of brotherhood and respect... Enough of this shit, I wanted some people around who could help in my projects, compete my assignments and mark me present even if I've bunked the lectures. Here is how I made my team and how each one of them represent a stereotypical student of an engineering college. I prefer talking to the people who appreciate my poor jokes at any cost. A small program in the college was a  great opportunity to socialize... I knew I had to do that even if I don't like it. I sat in the crowd where I started cracking jokes on the guest of honor... I ain't rude to do that... It's just my way of testing people I don't want someone to be my friend who can't take my jokes ... I found my first...

Freshe r's fever Now that we've done with our busy schedule, it's time to take a break and enjoy a bit... Yes... I'm talking about the fresher's party!!! But can all students really enjoy the party? Let's take the case... The biggest irony of life is... Happiness comes for a price What do I mean by this opening statement? Well, after 1 month of tedious lectures, practicals and work we hear about the fresher's party!!!.... Wait... What? It's after our midterm exams! No way This is what happens in most of the colleges. I guess you know how it goes after this. The ones who have prepared real hard for the exams score good... And the ones who have not, score terrible. So it's clear that the ones who score enjoy, The ones who don't,...cry... Not because they scored low but because of their unwillingness of enjoying the party! The midterm score was like a bomb on the class. And with every score declared, it was turning wors...
