FIRST ANNIVERSARY

Firstly Happy Birthday to my blog.

Incidentally this blog's 1st birthday and my 1st day of M.tech fell on the same day.As always happens when you put maajar fight to attend a class {go walking from Jamuna to CAD lab -better put as Taramani to Velachery} we did not have any classes yesterday.Today's first hour had only 7 students from the dual degree stream.Out of the 5 courses I have,only 2 courses have the no. of students in double digits.Surely ,as I have already mentioned,proxies,sleeping in class,attendance % just equal to 75 have met with a premature death.Already two Profs know our names.The last hour was interesting.There were about 34 students.Needless to say,most of them are from JNTU,OU,AU -all in AP.More than 70% have been sponsored Mtech programmes from DRDO,ISRO,TVS and some have more than 5 years work experience!By a conservative estimate they would be atleast 27 years old.How can someone have the enthu to study Mtech at that age when they can as well do something "consistent with their age" ;).Surely one feels odd sitting with 25 yr olds all around.And finally there is an awesome female in my class,who is also in that sponsored programme,but sadly she is married.I obviously did not go down the bench to see her toes,she had the cliched "maang mein sindoor".Anyway everything is new and I feel like having entered some other college!Lets see how life is with the uncles.
