MY TRYST WITH ENGINEERING









PART-I





SOME 1ST EXPERIENCES N SOME 1ST IMPRESSIONS!!!
4 yrs ago,wen I went to coll for the 1st time....i was there with my junior coll frnds to check our div....n guess wat..all the shahs n sheths were in div B...n i was in A....my 1st disappointment in Engg....

Guess i wasnt prepared for the fact that inspite of 6 frnds sharing the same course not even 1 was with me...n so with a sad face...i went on to attend my 1st lec....n there it was...i was 10 minutes late...n there came my 2nd dissappointment...
Lookin at the main bldn durin admissions process i dint realize that our lec wil be held in a bldn behind it that was a 2 floor vintage bldn...they called it the workshop bldn...n it looked like 1....lookin at tat bldin...i was thinkin...should i hav taken d.j. sanghavi....this place sucks....n the thought got stronger wen i found out a classroom that had no electricity...
O wat a horrible start.........
ppl remember some of their 1sts....but i dnt remember nythin after that coz i was far too dissappointed to be there...n that to without my garodian frnds....i might laugh on being disappointed for such silly reason now but then i was seriously thinking to write a request letter to change my div...coz i dnt want to bear this all alone....n i dint think i would even be able to be frnds with a single person from tat class...

Coz there was a certain PRIYANK DESHMUKH who came n sat next to me next mornin...wearin a sleeveless n a three-fourth n all sweatin...guess he might top the list of the worst 1st impressions...for not only in my list but the entire divs list...n everytime i looked at him all tat came to my mind was d.j.sanghvi???????..............

Then there was a certain KHUSHBU BUSA....she came n sat next to a YOGESH CHANDE who voluntarily agreed to be the C.R of our class....n that was the 1st couple gossip for us... There was this huge discussion in canteen wen we came to know that they dint knew each other at all n inspite of tat this girl kept talkin n irritating tat poor guy for the whole lec.........n had she been sittin next to me....all i would hav been thinking would be d.j. sanghvi....

I had some happy times between the lecs to meet my frnds from tat div...but then i was back for my praticals....

My 1st pracs(atleast the 1st i remember) were my mechanics pracs...
there i met my practical partner(agge ke roll no walla)BANDISH CHHEDA...
there were only 2 girls in our so called A1 batch...(no tat was not my next dissappointment...coz i wasnt expectin nythin frm 'tat' department)....n 1 girl was khushbu...

The other 1 dint look normal...n i was right...she was ...(a girl from some village who use to address every1 sayin AAP...wen a guy named AAKASH borrowed a protractor from her 1ce n misplaced it,she shouted n scolded him so badly that he had to go out in the lunch break n buy a new 1 for her)....n as the pracs progressed this Chheda was busy flirtin with that girl durin the whole pracs...seein that some had said...chheda ne....ko cheda...n wen i heard just a sentence of there conversation(he was asking her...tu kaunse gao se hai...)i was shocked hearin tat question....all i was thinkin was......d.j.sanghvi???

Then came another disaster....the workshop...
I was lookin like a joker in my boiler suit(coz wo mere length ka nai milta tha) the 1st time i wore it n behaved like a joker the entire workshop for the next 1 yr....m glad tat it was just for a yr...i just hated it...ny ways...some guys from my batch who were from U.P n bihar n other gao's(abhinav Bose,saurab bajaj n ANURAG AGRAWAL)were talkin in typical bhaiya language n i was worried...after 4 yrs i might turn into a bhaiya too... n wen i saw that anurag agrawal smokin outside the coll...i started wonderin again...d.j,sanghvi???

Then there was this AMIT BAXI who use to speak some words occasionally in between his long sentence of GALIs...but tat was just the way I wil describe his 1st impression...
for the rest,he wil always be remembered as the 1 who was asked to name 3 hot girls in our div by a guy(SHAWN FRANCIS) n he had famously replied...the 3 girls would be....NEHA,NEHA and NEHA...its been 4 yrs now...n all from my group has known neha only bcoz of this baxi......or rather bcoz of that shawn who made this into a big news....
it was hard to believe tat an almost bald guy who would be doin such bakwaas n faltugiri all the time would be our topper....

N almost 3 weeks down when every1 seemed settled...there came a new admission...his name was ANGAD CHAWLA....all those who know him would have their hand on their head or a grin on their face just by readin his name....if not seein him much in the coll was all bout his 1st impression...then it stayed the same for all the 4 yrs....m not too sure how many ppl recieved a good mornin msg frm thier loved 1s every mornin but many ppl in our div surely recieved a msg from angad almost every mornin for 4 yrs that read...plz sign for me or plz put my proxy tday...

Some 1st impressions were just unforgettable...some were pretty normal....as days passed by...i got habituated to these ppl n started makin some really good frnds...n by the end of the 1st sem i had strong friendships with NISHIT GOGRI N PRIYANK DESHMUKH...n a normal rapport with the most...
So there it was....the start of a journey called...engineering....
