Hmm, for a start, whatever you are going to read now is the start of, one of the beautiful phase of our lives, THE college life. Thank god! For getting into a college like Ramaiah, because this is where I met some wonderful people who actually made a difference, whom I had never met till then. I would like to tag my college under Bindass category and it is really worth 99%. I thank all my friends for being with me and making life so beautiful. In fact I learnt a lot from them. I often wonder how can people be so nice; and all nice people are friends of mine.. Nice na….huh..
Alright, I will talk through about my first day in MSRIT, oops! My second day as the first was orientation which I missed.
The first (second) day in college, I was just able to manage to reach the entrance. Here began the confusion, and the biggest confusion was the MSRIT building itself, which had many entrances. I was looking at people going in many ways but I was clueless where was I supposed to go. I followed the crowd as nothing flashed to me at that time. Up front was a huge campus inside, and made life difficult as all corners seemed the same. It was nothing less than a territory, it was Ramaiah’s empire.. This search landed me no where and before I could know it was time for me to go home. This unfinished search was supposed to be extended for the next day too. Next I saw a guy who was studying in one corner, he looked so studious that I felt he was not the ragging kinda person so I approached him. But after a few months in college I realized that people in engineering study only during internals: after few years that few study before exams ALONE.. Coming back, I went to him and asked him for 1st semester classes, in response he asked about the room number which was given the previous day in the function. God!!! I realized the importance of first day. And then he suggested me to go to office and ask. Where will I searched for office? /\?..
As I was walked around, I found a lecturer, and he took me to the notice board and clarified my doubts and gave me all the details required to go to telecom classroom. I then went to class, interrupted the lecturer, as it was the first day I was excused. It was a great relief. There was a surprise awaiting me in the class. You know why, first of all I had a seat somewhere in the second last bench, no one on either side to ask or clarify about what’s happening. Add to that the Lecturer was discussing oscillators, blah blah… which I had never heard , but still it was fine as everything was fresh. What surprised me even more was the chorus sound with which the students where shouting out the answers for everything the teacher asked. At last she told that this was our syllabus. I thought, I went for a toss at that moment thinking that syllabus was completed and I missed everything. I was thinking that this is the way all engineering colleges teach complete syllabus in one hour: then why the hell 6 months. I comforted myself saying if they can do it in one hr even I can do: something had seriously gone wrong .Attendance sheet was passed and I dint expect my name not to be in that.. Conversely my name wasn’t there and I had no one around me to ask, so I just passed it .The period ended and I got to speak about that attendance with few girls over there ,it was then that I got to know, that I am in electronics class and not in telecom. Can anything go as bad as this?? Yet I was happy that I am not in the class where they finish syllabus in 1 hour .Next I went in search of telecom class room and this time I dint wanted to make any mistake so I confirmed before entering the class. She started telling me something about coming late but I was in such a situation that I dint listen to anything she told except the last statement “don’t come late from next class”. I took to my seat, dint even speak till the class ended as I dint want any further trouble. It was such a relief at the End! The Girl I sat next to was the one whom I had called few days back in order to confirm some things about admission. I Felt sense of easiness as I got to know one whom I knew virtually previously. Everything then was fine and it was a great day; it was the first day and I like the “first”. I mean, whatever I so call my first is very special to me. However I dint know that they will give us classroom number and such details on the induction, otherwise I would have not missed the orientationJ. From then I repeatedly tell others not to miss orientation day, else they would be in trouble (but I am sure not as much as me). Hmm alright that was my first day which was too nice that’s why I do remember it always..
