LIFE IS HELL......but AL IS WEL!!

Contradictory...isn't it? But that is how exactly the life for TY BTECH students for all branches proceeds i am sure. :) Since i am not a part of other branches(i could enlighten myself abt E n TC for i have some good (n God!) friends to tell me what goes on there.. :) ), let's get specific. These days i find myself struggling at the altar of holy mother of all trouble - Electrical department. But a deep retrospection has further sharpened my perspective about trouble to one damn inhuman thing in this world - Sir Uday Mhaskar, owner of Power Systems 2 pvt lmtd, Electrical dept., Coep,Pune. I mean every word i am saying for it is what reality stands for. He is the boss,we are the employees and power systems 2 is the company we run together!
Life had never been such a mess and still be more enjoyable. I have never come across an intelligent guy in power sysytems like him and an equal pathetic teacher. Go to him for getting a doubt cleared and a devilish smile waits for you. What comes next is still more shocking. ' Tya Bridge rectifier assignmentcha kay jhala? Te Stevensoncha paper vachla ka re leka? He baga me tumchyasathich he ppt ata tayar kartoy.(Based on IEEE papers- from experience.) Tumala he problem solve karnyasathi asa karava lagel blah blah blah....' (Trust me nobody knows of this blah blah blah when it strikes ears for the first time!) You stare at him in awe(stunned since you are not accustomed to listening so many things at a time), then take a deep breadth(for gathering whatever you can from the things you have just heard) and then ready to hear the next input of data. IEEE has become the latest addition in my rivals list. Intoxicating Exhausting Excruciating Engineering. That's what it stands for in Electrical engineering. IEEE has become a standard. Day and night you are haunted by this ghost of Uday. Recently he was crowned the nickname of 'Udya' which is more horrifying if you already had a bad dream about him today! Moreover, this faculty is totally unconventional- unconventional to the extent that engineering doesn't seem familiar at all! God save our souls!
Despite this saddening fact that we have a new addition to our never ending list of faculty-fiends; the good thing about them is thanks to them we have started learning life in the practical sense. Though the most unlikely person as a teacher, Mhaskar sir is an excellent mentor at practicals. Practicals are always flooded with lots of experiences at various companies, latest additions in the field and some real insight into the purpose. You got to give credits to all those who spoil your life- especially if its for the good. Besides thanks to all this hustle bustle in power systems, other activities in life have become more interesting. There is a confidence, an aura that flows within telling you for every other breath - You got to do it n You will. Being preoccupied is something we have adjusted ourselves to, and what else do you need but to be able to manage your tasks? My mind can't stop forcing me to yell ' Life is hell!' but my heart keep on saying ' Don't worry dude, Al is well!' Recent pattern for assignment demands more focus on group activity for timely submissions and so we get a chance to know each well. Any moment of relief is received well in the class without its importance lost at any instance. Here time is marks and marks are a key to good future. More work has allowed for a better time management and quality of work for which this time is utilized also has to be IEEE! I can't stop feeling happy for the tough environments we are subjected to and yet bang my head over their effects on day to day normal life. Prepare for the worst n you get 'THE WORST' everytime! What else do you want to get tougher(and get going!)! Hope this keeps on augmenting for my betterment! Adieu!

I am BACK!!!!


Back! And back not only to withstand new battle fields but also to make up for the lost grounds! Had almost given up blogging since i had screwed up my last semister(a gpa of 7.26... :( to be exact!) And where you are always bombarded with responsibilities, getting accoutred with the best to face them is always a tedious task! Sometimes you get what you want sometimes you don't, still a failure is the main cause of our aberrant nature. Fortunately, i manage to make up for the losses somehow.(That's a mystery!) With everything set up to normal, this is the best time to begin fresh, and here i am to initiate this activity once again.
Unlike my previous attempts at comedy, today i am in a mood for something else -Failure,the best and worst thing you can have at the same time. Where everything is full of joys and happiness, one small failure may make you seem like a miser; bequeathed with all the misery nature could offer. The transformation from a happy-go-lucky to hand-struck face seems so ironic. Nevertheless, the best thing you learn is there is a lot you have to account for, and there is nothing that can make you go lower than what you have already reached. Above all, you get a chance to retrospect yourself,your beliefs,your morals which none the less seem susceptible. Appalled by the results, you are more alert,more focused and more determined. These all helps you to reap a better output. According to me, failure is something to experience after a while. Frustration and determination, aggregated by previous futile attempts gives an upward thrust to your overall performance.
And now after a semister has passed when i disregarded myself, i am thoroughly enjoying this failure. More than happy to have reached my target cgpa, now i am more focused to achieve my goals in life and more than eager to face the new challenges. Failure is cool! After all, there is nothing wrong in taking two steps back if you can jump farther.
