A College Girl Now

It is raining cats and dogs in Pune. God, how I love these rains, but right now it is actually supposed to be the time for winter!

Moving on, this post is actually about my first month at PVPIT. People have been continually asking me how's engineering life going - some are asking out of jealously and some are asking because they want to help me out! Well, this is a humble note going out from my fingertips to all those people who are sitting at home wondering about my progress - Life As An Engineering Student is AWESOME!

It has been a long time since I last posted about my college life. And in this post I will try my best to inform my whereabouts and wipe off the previously held misconceptions about attending lectures!

Workshop Area at PVPIT Pune

PVPIT is a really nice college to graduate as an engineer from! It has some really strict rules and regulations, but they all are rightly leading you to become a punctual and disciplined engineer! The teachers, right since the first day, have been chanting about us attending classes and about the fear called "85% ATTENDANCE"! After 12th standard no student really has a habit of sitting in the class for 6 hours at a stretch, listening to lectures, and this is something I agree as well! Even I became one of these students by the time I reached 12th! And the icing on the cake is the fact that before starting engineering we get a 5 months' break time, which puts us in an even more "lazy" sort of habit, I must say! But at PVPIT, though it was initially tough, attending lectures is not a tedious job! Attend classes and you just need to revise or look through the pages to brush up your memory whenever required! Also the teachers clarify in the class all the questions and major mark-obtaining places from the university papers! So, it is quite a lot important attending the lectures! 

Also I met loads of fun people there, whom I'd never thought I'd ever meet! They hail from places like Osmanabad and Nashik and Sangli and Jammu! And it is an amazing experience meeting people from different places, having to be able to share the experience called "Engineering" with them! Also, due to group studies that we hold in the class, we all have scored brilliant marks in the first mid-semesters - I got a few high scores! :)

It's only been a month and a half since I started engineering and I am loving every minute of it! People might say that engineering is tough and tedious - now, I am not saying that this is untrue - but if you are interested enough in the stream you have chosen, you're gonna totally love it!

The First Sight of a New Life

The title to this post is kind of a confusion-creator, really! But again, when you are anxious about so many things and in the middle of making a greeting card for a really special person, your thoughts happen to take a bump every time you give a second thought to a greeting card idea! Happens more than often when it's a really special person! :-)

Well, let's get to the title. Today I went to see my new college, a new place I am going to call "HOME" away from home for the next 4 years. And I am making apologies before hand for not getting any photos with me from there. But next time I promise I will get them to you guys! :-) 

It so happens that I am allotted the SSMS's PVPIT College of Engineering in Bavdhan, Pune. It's a really nice campus, situated on a hill, lush green, amazing and virgin breezes always blowing there and the staff, the building and the crowd is almost 'okay'.  (To be honest I couldn't make much out of the crowd! I need the college to begin in order to determine what kinda crowd there is!) The only drawback is the really high fees - Rs.1,08,625/- per year only (!!!).

At first I actually got a mini heart attack when I read this college's name against my I-D number. Mom was so happy, she was literally sprinting from the kitchen to my room! Dad was happy too, if "happy" were defined as "being calm and yawning, with an occasional nod" (what when it was 6 am in the morning!). All morning I couldn't think of anything besides this particular college, how it was and what were the placements like. I made up all sorts of stories and theories in my head (was actually practicing being a good mechanical engineer!), but all this just so that all my pre-conceptions would be shattered to bits and pieces, about 2 hours from then! :-(

And when I reached PVPIT, I actually liked that place, besides the fact that my favourite Uncle teaches there first year mathematics! So, this was the first sight or more appropriately a sneak preview of a new life, roughly lasting for the coming four years. But I have made up my mind to totally enjoy this time in college, make loads of new friends, make even better projects and actually live these 4 years! :-)

So, PVPIT, here I come!!!
