College Diary (1)

Usually aisa lagta hai ki jab tak college start nai ho jaata hum naye college koattend nai karne lag jate hamari college life start nai hoti but I slightly differ from this. I guess aapki college life uss din se hi start ho jaati hai jis din se aapke pre-enigneering test ke result aapke haath me hote hai n all the people u know are making guesses about what u could possibly be getting or what should be an optimal career choice for you. I honestly think nobody knows it actually they all are as confused as the candidate or may be more than that. Well this is a universal truth and I am telling this with personal experience ;). I have always dreamt of becoming a doctor though definitely I also had some short-time spoofs of becoming an interior designer or fashion designer but if we ignore these short span swings I have been dedicated to my dream of being a doctor. But as the destiny is always a mystery I dint crack through the pre-medical exams :( (although i dnt regret it nw :D) and was very disheartened at that point of time. I had been adamant about taking a drop (1 year break) to prepare for pre-med again. But my parents n elder brother convinced or you should say literally banged their heads to make me understand that it isn't a wise option to take. So finally i agreed upon to participate in the counselling going on for engineering. At this point of time something I would like to say about me: I can be very headstrong in some cases and its really not easy to convince me if I have already decided against a notion. But as is the law of nature balance has to be maintained  So we have my elder brother in my family who has the art of swaying away my headstrong mind into right directions whenever he feels so it is important to interfere, mostly he would keep to himself being an introvert :). So now back to the counselling session after being not particularly very interested in doing engineering I was very reluctant to opt for the government college which will force me to stay either in a hostel or PG. I wanted to be comfortably home and for me that time any local college would be great if I have not to leave home. But as the fate had it for me in the stores...my elder bro and papa thought i shud go fr the govt college. And it took a hell lot of convincing for my brother (mind you that too through a window as only one parent was allowed with the candidate in the hall :P) to make me agree to opt for govt college when asked by the coordinator. When I was called for choosing the branch there was only a guy sitting on a table who was asking the candidate showing the tally of remaining seats in each college, what is your preferred branch and college. Although I wastotally convinced by bhaiyaa to opt for govt college at that point of time atleast, my dad dint had the confidence that i wont change my decision on the last moment [Honestly i cant blame him for tht ;)]. So it was my dad who told my preference instead of me making any other choices in haste which I might regret in the future. So, this was the way I finally got admission into Bio-medical engg at NIT Raipur. And I guess that is the confused start of my college life :) but it still makes me smile remembering the hasty events of the day and the way my choices were made for me!!!!!
