Finally it came....... Your rank is this... shown in the website of Kerala Entrance Commission.. Yes, that's the end of all the suspense.. It was as much awaited as the World Cup triumph earlier this year.. The latter brought smiles and joy though..
Phone calls...phone calls.... and more phone calls......... Most of them sounded the same...
'What happened??' ..... as if I've failed in the I standard!!!
But I'm thrilled for the fact that I'm going to be an engineer... But this engineering has got a problem..Strictly speaking this B.Tech has got a problem.. Though it spells same throughout the globe,its standard depends on college to college...... So mine wouldn't be as worthy as a B.Tech from IITs or NITs.. It would be just an ordinary B.Tech..... So what makes the latter superior? Maybe due to the huge facilities and the level of pedagogical systems that makes them stand apart.. Anyway its pointless going into all that..
Most probably I would get electrical engineering which is my preferred industry... I can bet you on the fact that only just a few, maybe around ten, in Kerala would like to take electrical engineering.. Most of them like to take mechanical.. Its interesting to note that 80% of them have no idea of what that field is... Still they tell ' I would like to take mech'...
Whatever it maybe I'm going to step into the world of technocrats and mind blowing industry of technology.. I always believe that young engineers can revolutionize the society; revolutionize India... But most of the highly acclaimed brains are moving out of the country.. Unlike them, I don't want to work outside India like in NASA or in any other foreign company and then mourn and sing ' Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera ' !!!
Everyone boasts that they are different but end up doing the same thing.. Either they work for another country or they stay here doing something that will only multiply their bank account.. India still remains to be the same old, poor country..
This is my problem..... When I say something, I start from myself and end up somewhere......
