You might have read a Politician's Interview...
You might also have exclaimed with overwhelming joy after perusing a celebrity's chit chat in Hyd Times...
And NOW,
I proudly present my first ever Interview with none other than our typical engineering student.
Q:How have you been?
A: Are you paid extra for asking this question to to every T,D & H you Interview?Well, Currently I am as happy as the French football team.Happy?
Q:What did you learn in these 3 years of engineering?
A: Answers my friend,Answers.
Q: Answers to what?
A: To the questions that start haunting me exactly 8 hours before the exam.
Q:The answers are squeezed out of the knowledge you gained in these 3 years, arent they?
A: Not at all,I never arrogate the depth of my knowledge. The answers are the ones that have to be copied from the temporary database which is created in the mind only during exams.It is active only twice a semester;during the midsems and the end sems.And as the examination ends, the database is automatically terminated giving me a very slim chance of upgrading my permanent database which has remained almost unchanged over these 3 years.
Q: Why cant you be precise?
A: I never get marks for precise answers,my friend.So I stopped talking straight to the point.
Q: I guess you must also be having the so called Minor exams, dont you?
A: Yes, but I cant afford to strain my brain for a mere 10 marks.So I heavily rely on my fellow students who are willing to slog the whole night for a Deca.
Q: How can you think of resorting to malpractice?Dont you think its wrong?
A: Fortunately, I do NOT think. I just copy down everything my neighbour writes and simply hand over the booklet to the invigilator who always reminds me of KUTCHU.There are ofcourse,plenty of curmudgeons who have a corvine appetite for marks.While writing,they do not like being disturbed in the middle, for they forget the remaining part of the solution and start maundering in themselves from the first line of the memorized solution.Ultimately, after excessive pleading and threatening,they let me peek into their exposed scripts.
Q: You never got caught?
A: We are strictly given orders not to make noise.And they keep reminding us that ""IF WE GET CAUGHT, MY ASS ETC".So we take it for granted that they really dont mind if we arent found guilty.
Q:What is your opinion on the scope of the subjects you finished in the undergraduate course? To what extent do you think will they govern your command over your future endeavours? Do you think mass transfer will play a prominent role?
A: ummmmmm,Well,Ahem...AAL IZZ WELL, AAL IZZ WELL.
Q: How are the classroom sessions helpful to you? Are you one among the stereotyped back-benchers?
A:The sessions help us in giving a clear picture.At the outset, I was a student of unending enthusiasm and unrelenting attitude.I displayed my flamboyant face as I sat in the first bench, trying to get the slightest attention of my professor who excited to euphoria the moment he saw an over anxious face like mine.Over the years, I was made humble.My aggressiveness was assuaged.I then understood that I could never learn those cursed subjects.And all these lectures were pure paradigms to show how complex they eventually grew from their birth.
It was an indirect indication that it was impossible for us to learn the subject.So they followed the beaten path and stressed only on exam oriented questions which I refused to answer.Instead of becoming thirsty for knowledge, I became so satiated with Information that it was pretty difficult for any ounce of knowledge to penetrate.And yeah, after months of repelling, I ended up in the last bench...
Q: How is your love life?
A: Grrrrr....
Q: Finally, How would you describe engineering?
A: UNBEARABLE pain the ass!!

Therefore, I am in LOVE..
15 years of sensible life since 1995 has taught me that most people do things because of either compulsion or obligation.Do NOT try repudiating me because I can pick at least 6 out of ten people who are not happy with what they are doing( Do NOT ask where I got the statistics from).Well, there are numerous books and movies on the same concept but let me tell what I feel.People dont realize that they have been gifted with a power called Volition which very few make use of.This power to choose finds its inception in the form of an intense emotion which is as big as the universe but can concentrate itself in the four chambered mass of a pumping muscle called heart.It is LOVE.
Mathematically,Love is an Independent variable that gives a damn about other interdependent variables which collectively govern the equation of life.In these years, I have discovered my intermittent feelings towards life which shift from " life is beautiful" to " Life is a bitch".I have always believed that the mind is like one of those screens you find in multiplexes.Every moment is a scene and every scream of Joy or sorrow is the background score. Hence, I grew up watching all those movies which were scripted by the situations and unknowingly directed by me.
It was in the rainy season of July about an year ago that I finished reading the last page of THE FOUNTAINHEAD and felt the impact Ayn Rand had on me.By the time I closed the book, I fell in Love with two great things.The power of words( half of which were beyond the scope of my vocabulary) and the Story( which I fortunately managed to comprehend).It was then I realized that writing is all about the unsaid things and the everlasting effect it can have on the readers.The moment you hold a pen, you are given the right to create your own world,make your own rules and probably a chance to ascend to the throne of a creator( If you are desperate to be one).And hence I decided to be a writer someday.But never knew I was going to fall in Love again...
The entire army was being decimated before stepping foot on the beach. Inspite of being frightened, the soldiers marched ahead.Some were blown to pieces.Some were looking for their friends who were all over the battlefield with withered body parts.One of them lay on the ground putting a hand over a deep wound that had ripped open his stomach. He was crying for his mother as another soldier behind him was searching for his detached hand.I watched TOM HANKS grieve over the death of his friend in the movie SAVING PRIVATE RYAN.It was the most heart rending scene I ever witnessed.I didnt feel like joining the army(they'd immediately reject me).I never dreamt of becoming an actor( as if I could).Instead, I felt a strong urge to portray something equally emotional in content which a writer alone couldnt do.And when I recollected all the gripping stories and the memorable scenes I watched,there was only one man who was sitting behind the camera and guiding everyone.He was the one who truly understood that Cinema is a marriage of all arts.He was the DIRECTOR and I fell in Love with his work.
Well, THE FOUNTAINHEAD and SAVING PRIVATE RYAN are two of the very few peak points in the graph of my life where I was strongly driven by a passion.Life goes on, so does this enigmatic curve whose equation is unpredictable.Only Time knows the zenith of the next peak I reach.I shall base my life only on one of these summits and not compromise myself with the slopes.The best sequence of words that that pump out from the heart everytime I am at the pinnacle of my thoughts is...
Therefore, I am in LOVE...
P.S 1)I have absolutely no idea about what it is to be Director.
2)Movies and books arent the only peaks.There was a time when I decided to become the President of The Republic of India.Alright!even you can laugh,like I did.
