It's a new day! [Behind the scenes]

July 28

It's incredible! I still cannot believe I've finally made it! In fact, the euphoria I experienced on the announcement of result was actually 1 ppm of what I felt today. Being frank, a lot went in the successful fruition of this endeavour than just my hardwork and Allah's perpetual grace. Through this piece of writing, I only wish to reinstate my feeling of heart-felt thankfulness and gratitude towards people who have bailed me out through the toughest of times while I was en route my journey.

[Note: The following note is just a sketchy acknowledgment piece. Don't expect trivial yet meaningful details!]

1. Family!
Had it not been for my Ma, I would simply have never even taken the first step. She was the one who constantly saved me from all doubtful glances, skeptical remarks and didn't object when I studied Physics a day before my Visual Communication paper!

Boy, whose perennial stories about how her "best friend" is running after the 167th guy in the town, how her "bachpan ka friend" pesters her to find chicks for him and how her "nayi saheli" bugs her through the night through the free messaging scheme she has got. One stress buster she is!

And my beta, my little quadruped. I wonder how people could actually fear or detest dogs! They are the best creation of the nature, most selfless and extremely friendly by nature. My baby did enough stupid but funny acts to cheer me up after a hard day.


1. Abhishek

Mera Punter! How I constantly bugged him by telling I'm feeling so low-I won't be able to make it-I just can't get through this question-Kaisa paper aayega-I won't go back to BMMMC-phew! no word of thanks is enough for you, dood!

1. Deepak

How could I forget how he managed me when I was shattered after my GGSIPU exam. Aah! That was one day, when I literally gave up the idea to study further, appear for DCE-CEE and blanched at the idea of being back to BMMMC. It was he who listened to my insuppressible howling and wailing and cheered me up.

1. Disha
My cousin who was simultaneously preparing for her Medical entrances, her sheer grit and untiring hard work latently pushed me to stretch myself beyond the acute limits in which i functioned. Graciously, she has reached her destination too now.

1. Two of my elder cousins
These were the people who constantly opposed my decision to prepare for engineering exams. They felt that BMMMC [Mass Comm and journalism, for the uninitiated] was the best choice for me to make my career. Ironically, they are NSIT graduates! I had to keep the fact that I'm preparing for exams under wraps from them. The feeling of reluctance and displeasure clearly showed on their faces while they congratulated me for making it.

1. My kids at IP


Ah! My babies they are! They were my haven whenever IP got too much of me. They are cute, they are dumb, they are funny and above all, they are adorably lovely. Love you my bacchas!

1. BMMMC
One big thing. Had I been in Miranda House pursuing Chem (H) or any damn thing in the world, I KNOW I could never make it. All the "tortures" that were inflicted upon me, the soul-less hollow people around me [not all of them, you bet!] and the useless activities I HAD to do for a year were a good catalyst and propellant in thrusting me further to achieve what I wanted to.

1. Priyanka

My sweet little baby-like Dodo. Oh! We undertook a common journey at the same time and emerged victorious out of it. Those long chats over our preparation status, those dreams of leaving I Pee for a good college [read with boys] and the great times we've spent together! She's one of the best things that have happened to me at I Pee.

1. Sujata

My good Samaritan. Angel in disguise. The Allah sent. No more words for her. For it would be denigrating what she has done for me. :)



Don't conclude this to be exhaustive. A lot more went into the making of an engineer than what just shows here. ;)
