The story continues ....

Brimming with joy of coming home and with lots of hopes and aspirations , i landed at the trivandrum airport , to be recieved by my sister. I was not ready for surprises as most of the surprises in my life have rather been shocks.To my horror ,the entrance exams here are something that everyone starts preparing once they complete their 10th standard. I was not aware of any of this painful fact , not easy to believe for someone reading this because the entrance fever starts with the arrival of first monsoons in kerala(that’s when school opens),but it was the truth.I didn’t know a goddamn thing about entrance exams or even about the branches available in an engineering college or a medical college , and to say, I was a near school topper in math and biology .My sister had enrolled me for a crash course even before I landed , and two days later I found myself sitting in a classroom where physics , math and chemistry were the breakfast ,lunch and dinner of my counterparts.Maybe they even had biology for their midmorning snack. I had no friends here as I was not from any of the schools in the area. I was beginning to get depressed and lonely. It was then that I saw that sight, few guys in the last bench laughing and whiling away their time as though they were in a restaurant.I thanked god , for I had found my pals who were going to be my friends for the rest of the course.It never occurred to me that I was here to prepare for the exam that decided my career and life.I spent time at the cinemas and at the golden sands of the aleppey beach.The exams arrived and before I knew, the answer sheets were taken off from me.I was tensed , and as usual I was going to destroy the sand castles my dad had dreamt of.What next ?, that was the question I kept asking myself.My parents and relatives didn’t have any tension at all, they were expecting to see my smiling face in the newpapers.My parents arrived from abudhabi and days went happily because I didn’t have time to worry about anything as my parents were visting relatives and I happily trodded along.Finally ,the d day arrived ,the results came out with lots of happy faces in the front pages of newpapers and tv channels.My dad was happy , not because of my unbelievable performance, because he didn’t have to pay anymore for my education , at least , that’s what he told me . Dad was enquiring about colleges,courses and other associated things while my sister got busy with buying forms ,filling and sending them before the final date. To be true , I was not worried because I knew I was lucky and believed that something had to come along in my favour. I think I forgot to mention it earlier, im an optimist, to be true , blindly optimistic, that is , I do 20% and wait for the remaining 50%.That adds upto only 70% but u should know that I was always the average kinda guy.Finally it came , the call from AITEC , asking me to come for an interview for an msc course in software engineering.I didn’t have a clue about what that was all about, the only thing I knew about the course was that it had something to do with computers.I was happy , not because a door opened in front,but the fact was that I loved computers atleast that’s what I thought.To me computers meant games,word,excel and ofcourse the wild whacky web and I was addicted with internet,to be able to do something like this was beyond imagination. I was eager and was in great anticipation to join college . I got to know the truth about software engineering only after the first lab session and I still haven’t recovered from that shock, even after spending more than 5 years in the class room learning all about softwares and its engineeringand more than one year of working experience in a reputed software firm. Well , I left for Coimbatore with my new found love for software engineering , I loved it because when someone asked me what I was studying for I could proudly say ‘Msc –software engineering’, it had that too good to be true feel into it..Interview was easy , as they asked me math and physics and they called up a week later to tell me that I have been selected to study software engineering. I was happy and my heart was pumping with joy rather than blood.I waited impatiently for I had no idea what my life for the next few years were gonna be ………. My college , My friends,My life …… my story begins here ….
