Eggjams:(
NOTE:
For people who dint understand the tiltle,read it as exams.
Why do we have exams?Espiacially the VTU ones?According to me it just enhances my cramming abilities.Are internals(class tests are called internals) not enough to analyze ones performace?
One month of study holidays.Its almost like a vacation.I cant imagine people studying 24/7.Does anybody do that?To those who do it-Kudos!
I understand,theory subjects are meant for mugging.In our case, practicals should also be crammed.The C and C++ programs are actually crammed by everybody.Thats the way it is and should be.
Another 20 days left for exams.This means Eggjamsciosis(a disease) is going to sustain till then.
That also means that i cant post till then:(.It is an exile period for one month.
Wish me luck.

Miracles happen?!
It was a usual house warming ceremony.The pooja was over.The bhajan and keerthana session started. I was black-mailed and forced to attend this event.Not that i dont like those people .Its that just i cant sit through those never-ending bhajan sessions which is a must for the family that hosted the house-warming.This family,i am talking about,is an all-time believer of sai baba.
In the midst of that symphony(not for me),my grand-aunt got up from her place,may be to drink water or something.She went inside the kitchen next to the living room that connects the dining area,and suddenly we all heard her shouting my uncle's name.Everybody panicked wondering what had happened.Everybody ran to the dining room.I was experiencing a mix of emotions thinking about unnecessary catastrophic events that could have happened.When i went there what i saw was a photograph of baba and my grand-aunt looking at it with a smile on her face.I looked at my dad.He was also smiling.I just gestured him and asked him as to what had happened.He slowly pointed his finger to the bottom of the photo.I saw a heap of "VIBHOOTHI" powder and a few idols of baba on the floor obviously wondering where they had come from.When i looked carefully at the hanging photograph i saw white powder falling from the back of it.It was then that i understood the Whole picture.
The idols along with "VIBHOOTHI" powder were falling from there till midnight.
At first,i dint buy this whole story though it was happening right in front of my eyes.My grand-mom checked that wall,behind of the wall,the photo, who ,like me, dint believe what was happening.
Till date, i cannot understand the science behind it,if there was any.I have to accept that it was indeed a miracle.And i have.
There are certain things in this world which just cant be explained.The existence of us being without any proof proves this fact.I just wanted to share this episode knowing that some people might just think of it as a cooked-up bundle.I am sure many will.
But the fact is
Miracles do happen!

Engineering or Medicine?
Why not a lawyer or an artist?
Why not a Finance analyst or a teacher?
What about being a statistician?
Why not being a transcriptionist?
Do people know about these careers et al.
Recently i met my cousin,passed his tenth with flying colours .My obvious question was "what are your future plans?".Pat came the reply-I want to be a jounalist.i was so glad to hear that.My maternal aunt overhearing the conversation interrupted "What journalism?!!Thats so risky and unstable.Think about money also.Why dont you take up engineering?It will be a cakewalk for you".It is so frustrating to hear that kinda suggestion.Why dont people let others be?
A week ago my best friend got a job ,the job which she calls it as her dream job.She did her degree in Economics-statistics-maths,her subjects of interest.And i choose to clarify here.She had an amazing percentage in 12th and an equally good rank in CET.She chose her career out of her interest and iam extremely happy to see where is today.Doing wat she always wanted to do.She is working in an international bank as a finance analyst and the pay packet,i must say is too much for a starter.My point is why does everybody have to follow the same path just because you have been told to do so even though you are not meant to.
I know so many people who have been forced to choose engineering and medicine just because of parental pressure or some other obvious reason.I am sure many will not agree with me.Its just that these two popular fields are not the end.It is the challenge that matters and ultimately the job satisfaction.
