today its my second lohri in delhi...mood is upright party one, delhi junta is dancing the chilling winter out on blends of punjabi numbers - truly delhi has an air of India, every celebration makes a sense here people do indulge themselves... i just went out to get an Old monk bottle i could see out there people in small group with bonfire..... though i am not much into these punjabi tracks but there is something today in the air which made me listen to those tracks dil le gayi kudi gujrat ki, daru by RBD many like these ;

 

now when i look forward there is practical exams, then visit to home and of course with 4 golden globe awards slumdog.. is definitely in my priority list... wrapping up these days, past few ones were really kool.. 

...prateek

again back here at the work place that i dont like at all i was never expecting this from my side that i will miss my home town this much travelling to and fro lucknow has made me reveal its essence to myself in a much elaborated manner, now i could easily realise the subtitle 'city of Nawabs' to its aptness. Here in lucknow i dont need to worry and the things would get done on its own, a place to sit back in your couch and enjoi the proceedings of life but then i remind myself back it was me only too eager to escape away from there and enjoi out but the scene is not that enjoing now i got to travel 50 mins to reach college attend the useless classes there for 6 to 7 hours for no valid reason except increasing the 'present marks' in teachers register- pathetic education system i must state here; anyways home's home and the inherited qualities of a city can never get washed away ... salutes to the aura of lucknow ...prateik

engineers ..knowing them liltle better ...

Traditionally engineers have been viewed as geeks or nerds who do nothing but study strange kinds of things and manufacture big machines and buildings. Even nowadays when some coaching institute puts up an ad showing engineering aspirants they would put up posters of people with formal boring shirts and a metallic cap which the mechanics wear in garages. Whereas the doctors they’ll show are all smart and dashing with matching colorful shirts inside their white aprons.
I mean why such discrimination against engineers. They would make serials like sanjeevani and dhadkan for doctors. Do only doctors have the charm to woo girls. And engineers are all boring people found glued to their computer screens or buried inside a pile of machines.
Come on, engineers are not like that. At least not what I’ve seen and known.
Then who are engineers and what are engineers. Well understanding this species is extremely difficult. However the common characteristics are:
Extreme
Whatever they do has to be on an extreme. No study for the 4-5 months of the semester and no sleep for the 4-5 days before the exams. The same student who you’ll find with his torn jeans and the college t-shirt jumping out of the class(or rather bunking out of the class), impressing the panel of interviewers from the very best companies of the world.
The same stud whom you found half-conscious and fully drunk lying outside the hostel gate in the garden, can stun a gathering full of scholars while delivering a speech on consciousness.
Adaptive
Engineering students are supposed to be the most indisciplined and rude fellows on campus who are always clumsily dressed. But what happens to these guys/gals when they hit the corporate floor. They are the most smartly dressed people and present the face of India Inc.
They are as comfortable in the college-side khokha(dhaba) eating maggy sitting on the mat as they are while having lunch with their clients in a 5-star hotel.
Matter-of-fact
The 4 years of engineering teaches engineers how to learn. Learn different concepts, languages, techniques and anything else. Engineers are basically learners. Engineers doing well in CAT and other entrances are not because they are engineers but because they are good learners and can adapt to the changing situations.

To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
