As the years flew by

2009. It’s here. The year I graduate. And become an engineer. Got a job already. And now a degree. I can’t believe it. Where did these years fly by?
What have I done in the last 4 yrs? Not gained much knowledge, that’s for sure. I better pen it down before my highly volatile memory gets the better of me.

First Year: Ah! Proud to get admission into VJTI. Attending lectures (yea, we actually did that). Write out assignments (did that too). Took down notes in the lectures and actually used them during the exams. (This really takes the cake).
- Sitting outside MLR 6 under the tree waiting for the profs to turn up
- The graphics lectures. The long lines for getting the best drawing boards. The girls demanding a separate girls line.
- The sleepless nights before the graphics exam.
- The loooooong line for PAW to get the BME writeups signed.
- The entertaining shouting match in the maths lecture (Thanks to Anita).
- Physics practical vivas ending with the prof’s head horizontal on the desk.
- Time pass in the chemistry lab
- The first traditional day n rose day with the never ending photo session.
- Running around for the fests
- Freshers’ party
- The ragging in the canteen (again, thanks to Anita)
- Workshop: Getting all the work done from the guys and the instructors. 45 degrees going on and on with his jokes.
- Deolekar’s lectures with full attendance. The day he got bugged n said “so” n we laughed on his face. Poor guy, he still hasn’t figured it out. The punishment assignment with the whole class sitting in the library.
- Our first dose of submissions, vivas and GPAs.
- The first class trip to Khandala.
- Movie plans of 40+ people.

Second Year: No longer the kids in the college. Now in our own department.
- The initial pleasure of studying subjects of our interest.
- Driving Ahire out of class. Deolekar getting mad again. And the 100 sum punishment that followed.
- Varu’s Krrish-like hairstyle.
- Anita’s screamfest part 2 that scared the shit out of the babe.
- Gul’s ROFL laugh. It was legen…wait for it…dary.
- The gossip sessions in EDC lab.
- Mass copying tutorials of EN.
- The daily climb up the smelly staircase
- Our first tryst with “no prof” in 4th sem.
- The Goa trip.
- The day trip to the water park. The hour long wait for the ST bus, and the rather uncomfortable ride. It’s not everyday that we sit on pillows. *grin*

Third year: The year of fun and festivals.
- The joy of having a ground floor class room.
- Walking out of the CG mst. What a day! We did set a trend though, for the IT class emulated us.
- The brilliant microp prof.
- A time table with only 2 subjects in the 6th sem
- No prof for CG.
- A certain “chudhail” cracking jokes while shouting.
- The new year party in true wizards style

Final year: Gosh, it’s already here. God, why are you doing this to us?
- The placements.
- The long walk to Mount Everest (damn, I lost a good amount of weight there)
- The infinite visits to the exam dept.
- Walking from one class to another.
- The annoying new class tests. Certain annoying people asking us to draw lines on the papers. Other annoying people screeching like dinosaurs.
- The wumpus in class- the day he got high (and ****) and started reciting shaayaris. Don’t be shocked, Bade Bade collegon mein aisi chhoti chhoti baatein hoti rehti hai.
- Walking out of the DSP mst after 15 mins- not because it was out of syllabus, but because it was so ridiculously easy, we all started laughing.

*Sigh*. Only one more sem left. If only it is as eventful as the others.
