Right in my twelfth it was my dream to study in any one of the IITs, but sadly could not crack the JEE exam. So finally I had to do what most of my batchmates did. Joined Goa Engineering College. The not so bright students (now including me) didn’t really have a choice. Now that I know its ranked 75th in India… ok I am there somewhere! :)
Our faculty here… I always admired them for being so meticulous over the fundas and concepts but never really wanted to be like them. I was happy with my five pointer sorta life. But suddenly there was this hype about selecting a project for our final year. I don’t know what hit me, but I thought this would be my last chance to really study something in my four years of engineering life. Most of which has been spent sitting and chatting in the college canteen.
So we spoke over to our professor and managed to contact a professor from IIT Powai. We decided to leave for IIT on the immediate weekend. Our college has a MoU with the institution that allows use its resources for our final year project.
WAY TO MUMBAI
Just as ideal students should be doing, we attended the morning half of college, and left to board the Konkan Kanya train. We spent most of our time, standing and sitting at the door of the train, watching the scenic beauty… the forests and rivers that passed by. It was so very refreshing. (more…)
