My comeuppance...

2/3/2009 , Monday...



From the past 3 years, 6 months, 2 days and 2 hours, I've been pursuing - 'ENGINEERING' - which has been a farcical and veritable feast for my psyche - ineffectual teachers and students earning accolades for their meretricious meretoriousness and 'vivid' concoctions..

Is creativity, a kind of stupidity and stupidity, a kind of creativity ? Answer is 'Yes' for stupids and a 'No' for a mind whose doors are not bolted from within.. but the answer to this question is a 'yes' for most of the workforce involved in imparting higher education.... it was a strange question and an equally strange answer... anyways its none of our business...

Now i'll come back to the most important aspect of our lives i.e "me"...

When i entered 'VIDYAPEETH' and till this day, the highest that a student ever thought of was a good 'placement' - a matter of life and death.. And the teachers were always citing incidents - for intimidation purposes only (masquerading as well wishers) - where a lax, irregular and low scoring student like me and a few more(but not many) didn't get any placements and an attentive, regular and high scoring student like... like ?? like 80-90% of the students - who scribble down their a***s and anoint the teacher's - got good placements(though not all are like that but most are). These stupid creatures who have a very narrow measure of intelligence, are considered to be the 'cream'. Cream is the "fatty or oily part of milk which rises to the surface and can be made into butter. " It might be on top of the surface but is it really good ?? I doubt... and i wonder whether any of these 'intelligent' students or even teachers can ever 'CREATE' something...

Again i'll come back to the most important aspect of our lives i.e "me" and i'll stick to it this time...

I appeared for 'placements' in a few companies. When it was IQ based i cleared the paper and when it was 'technical', i bombed.And in the interviews and even for the technical exams we were required to have a sound knowledge of 'programming languages'. But the 2 languages i know are Hindi and English(weak in that too..!) and Haryanvi, not a language though, but i am very well versed in it, and thats it. No C,C++,Java,etc,etc,etc... So, being a 'weak' student i never got placed in a company.And now, atleast for the time i'll be in the 'Vidyapeeth', i won't get a 'job' through the college's training and placement department(wonder y is it named so ?) due to the following OFFICIAL and RATIFIED 'thing' i received, which, though opposite to conventional wisdom, didn't make me melancholic.

"We regret to inform, the following student did not appear for the Campus Placement Test at the Institute, without any information.

AMANDEEP RANA - ECE

Due to this reason, above student will not be considered for any Campus Placement Program by the College in future.

Head - Training & Placement
BVCOE
New Delhi"



I 've got many letters from the college for my short attendance,in almost every semester, but this time it was different...
But do i care ?? for a moment i thought i did but in another moment i found - i didn't... n i never will...!! or will i ?? God knows...
