Well, this is my first post after I got my
graduation done. Its up my semester result too and I am an Engineer now;
B Tech in Mechanical Engineering with a CGPA of 8.09.
It isnt the marks that made me morale-rich at the outlet, rather it is the unforgettable memories (the one with Liebe), friendship (the royal mens), ideas (escape every other hardships, questioning, exams, viva tactically), leadership (standing up to plan, activate, proceed and lead to the results that couldn't be predicted), group discussions (late night studies only before exams) etc.
Coming to my real cause of being here in Hyderabad; Gate 2017. My first day to Made Easy Academy. I walked down the 1km diatance from my stay place all alone looking around through the very famous fruit market; Kothapet. I went in to fully AC fed class with almost 400 students(from all over the country) with full fledged sound system and lighting that ensured equal visibility and audibility. The class arena was perfect, now its just the teacher to be examined. The same day I was extremely happy for the decision I took. There is a wide range of knowledge being exchanged here and the same place has witnessed huge amount of toppers. Infact the EEE topper of Gate 2016 did his course sitting in same room where I am taking the coaching. It was and is a moment of pride to have that every extra bit of new concepts thats being viewed over by extra talented -being specific: Ex-IAS, Ex-IES Officers and even present IES Officers, GATE toppers at the minima as our esteemed teachers. It just really feels special and lucky to be out here. During the break time, I went to the top and saw a flag at a distance. The flag is around 15 km's away, I zoomed my eyes over to it and I discovered thats India's Flag, My flag, Our flag. I felt overjoyed and asked the one standing just beside me. He explained me that it is the second tallest flag (291 feet) in India and could be viewed from anywhere in Hyderabad. It was placed in accordance with the celebrations of 2nd Anniversary of newly formed state; Telangana. It is in the Sanjeevaih Gargen, Hussain Sagar. Also I saw the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium that is just around 8km from here.
All my feelings of loneliness has also gone when I met the two new malayalis of the same class:
Anees from Kollam,
Sreejith from Trivandrum
Almost 2 months passed by when I got my first holiday. I took Anees, my new companion and visited the great Hussain Sagar, The Lumbini Garden and so on. We left for it with our caps ON to resist the huge rays of Vitamin D to not hit our face directly. We got into the bus and it passed by Dilsukhnagar, Old Malakpet, Koti, Nampally Station, NTR Garden to reach the final destination.
Lumbini Garden: One of the most
mesmerising sights to watch over on any of your Hyderabad visit. Its kept
serene and rebuilt even after the Bomb Blasts that took place there. We took
some pics and took a boat to move on to the buddha statue erected at the centre
of the pond; the hussain sagar. Its an ecstatic moment if you are in a place
surrounded by water and the sun bending on downwards. I saw that same tallest
flag out there. It was a thrilling moment to see that flag flutter and
differentiate ever movement of wind happening at that height.
The laser show was due at 5pm and we took
those two tickets and sat in the last seat of the show-place hoping that the
show would be great as was overheard from the crowd outside. The show started
and it didnt turn up as expected. It was after some 15 minutes that the
original colors of event blossomed all over, and it was shockingly superb in
mere contradiction to our prejudice some time before and the real digital laser
covered all over the open hall. Every other display gathered more and
more claps. It was becoming more and more extraordinary every second it passed,
and then it got over.
'Once More!!!' , was heard all over the
crowd but the next set of audience were already ready for the show. It was some
time later that I discovered this laser show is the Asia's Best.
The holiday-day ended.
I changed my room in the middle and am now in Room No. 107 accompanied by 2 extra decent people:
1 is a shuddh Brahmin: Avi Bhai and
2nd is Teja Bhai who resigned from Infosys
to go for GATE. Both were from famous Visakhapatnam. Its great to be in company
with them.
Studies have gone on very high note that am not even getting a second spare to share my thoughts to you. But I must frankly say, such coaching centres are cheating all those of you out there who have completed your engineering and waiting for a job. Its tough, the competition is very high. I can feel it. Let me prove it (considering Mechanical Engineers): We would at max have a job openings of 3 lack per year. I have 400 students in my class, similarly there are 3 batches in our academy and there are over 50 academies out here in Hyderabad. And most of them are having atleast 20 batches. Now summing these up with academies at other places, other than Hyderabad - it will cross atleast over 5 lack students and all those 5 lack students are anyhow extra abled than the others out in home. You really are facing a tough competition guys, I must say. I suggest you to join any of this and work hard so that you can be on a powerful and satisfying position or atleast get a software job. Otherwise, a software job is also a dream to you. A life of an engineer is becoming tough exponentially. Beware...!!!
So, on note of my completion of B Tech, I have this piece of info/ advice for you-
'you have to different to survive,
otherwise its waste running alone...'
All the best guys :)
And finally, my condolences to one of my best friend Edwin's Father. RIP!!!
