Scary , difficult, hectic but fun !

These dayz i get many mails & SMS saying that "engineers don't care what the answer is"but they say that "What do we have to prove? that is the answer "!
Funny but true....when u study a night before exms & r on d edge of passing or failing that is what u r gonna think ! Isn't ???
Looking back into this semester the only thing cuming to my mind is PCT ! What a haywire semester it has been !!!Running around here & there just to get the correct format of letters & resumes & last but not the least that report......PCT has really taught me a lottt !
Sequentially:
1.Be friends with people u r never likely to talk to in ur lyf!
2.Teamwork
3.Resolving quarrels ova pitty issues
4.Co-ordinating with people,helping them,learning & teaching !!:P :)
Last but not the least................
5.Realising that friends are much more important than book knowledge & marks put on a stupid sheet !
Thanks to PCT & the humanities departement in TSEC to teach the real values to be used !!!

This sem we had a new test to go through that was VIVAS !Not new exactly but difficult this tym!The month of december is one of the most scariest tym for an engineer(examination tym).....but this tym it included the VIVAS as well !!I remeber that i use to say those small & really cute poems as an oral examination in school & the feeling of just going & talking in front of teacher would make me feel soo nervous(butterflies running in stomach)! Comparing skool & engg....the feelings have still not changed !!But the subjects, the way of learning has completely reversed in engg!! :P I really can't pen down the feelings(in engg) of going in front of a real खडूस external....& explaning him/her d concepts u just learned last night !!!Frankly,You are actually confused urself & trying to confuse d external too :P Asking ur frnds what kinda qsts r they asking in vivas & going through those a minute before ur turn!!Its crazyyy but fuhnn!! After u r done.....the only statement that comes to my mind is that "What a relief!!!" :P

Examination is on the verge on beggining.....and i am going through the same thing as in FE...studying late night,gossiping full-on ova da phone...putting stupid satus updates on facebook! Calling messaging al my frnds"Kitna padha??" when i actually know that none of us hv done anything much :P & the reply i get is worth laughing..."i toh didnt start only !!" :P :P :P
Every semester in engg is so different in its own way but at the same time there is sumthing common that links these semsters too !!

As soon as exms r getting over i hv a journey with family & friends(IV) !Really looking forward to this IV ! I am so excited about it that i am actually planning post-examination rather than studying for exams !! I hope that it is a real good IV & i cherish it for the years to come !! ;) ;)

Exams are on 8 dec...& i am busy updating my blog....i guess i better get back to work..... get lost in the world of circuits & programming !!! :P

Second Year

ODD SEMESTER

After a hectic first year getting over.....starts Second Year IT...with a whole new bunch of classmates & teachers!Intially going the same way...with teachers cuming in...blabbering sumthing & walking out!

But everyone was tensed up about sem2 results & first year %?

After a few days sem2 results announced....I cleared all....THANK GOD! I still doubt ED !?!

It was a complete mess 4 many ppl...KT results pending...Revals not announced , unsure of passing to the next year,few repeating FE!

After FE result chaos ending....begun SE in full swing! With programming in depth(actually i do not know whether to cal it depth or no ?)Some new subjects introduced of Electronics....i lyk those! :P

IT DEPARTEMENT TSEC

I think it is indeed one of the most strict Dept. in TSEC.....compared to EXTC & COMPS atleast!

In case of attendance, journal completion ,submissions everything!

TEACHERS:hmmm...2-3 are worth attending lects of ....

Others are just working for a monthly salary!!Do teachers teach for a salary or actually to give knowledge or both i wonder ?why can't every teacher be like GARGI SHAH ? By whom we can actually gain some knoweledge & make engg worth while !aww..i miss her in programming.. :(

Worst of al...all the way on the 10th floor !!!! GAWD !!

How i hate climbing so many floors al the tym !! TSEC lifts i tell you...( if u arent a TSECite the lifts are worth once a look at 8:00am,10:15 am,1:00PM(especially this one).....)

Its not that enggineering has only negative points that i am pointing too( neagtive qualities do get higlighted first naa)...it has a positive side to it too !Committes of TSEC really rock !Me being a part of ISTE ! The events , co-curricular activities that go on...r al a success bcoz of the various committes wrking behind it ! May be a technical event, freshers party,fun events, trips watever are all a success bcoz of n number of ppl wrking behind it(This is the true spirit of TSECites)!!!

A new set of friends,acquintances,change in the atmosphere of the class,attitude of known people...I am a kind of person who cant easily make "good friends ", but once made wil surely stay for a life time....however far they go!

TSEC as of now hasn't given me "GOOD FRIENDS"..who really understand me !I guess the only probable reasons being everyone is just too busy

So much of stuff has changed in SE...people,subjects,attitude towards engg(in a positive way),working for events,taking part in events, frankly speaking organizing my way of working & use to a hectic schedule now!

I guess change in every sphere of life is a must...

FRIENDS,STUDIES,TEACHERS,COLLEGE,HOME everything you can think of at the moment!

Imagine life without changes,it would come to a standstill !?CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT THING WHICH KEEPS ARE LIFE HAPPENNING!So be happy when things have changed whether 4 the good or the bad....but they shouldn't remain the same 4 a long tym !! CHANGE IS THE SPICE OF LIFE! Change is important so that we start understanding the importance of institutions,people,their nature,their attitude who are gone out of our lives or far away fm us !!

Vacation Time

After FE has come to an end .....I actually have nothing to do !!!!Except checking different sites & exploring the net ;) I am actually missing the enormous amount of tension i had while the sem was on,college life(though i hv only a few frndz out there) &  my crazy batch out there !!!.......

I am absolutely clueless about my results!!!

Special Semester !

SEM 2

This was a real special semester for me.....coz of meeting two real contrasting characters :

PHASE 1:

If u r a TSECite u know who exactly KS is....!!! ;) (If u don't then read on ...)

The first time u sit in that lecture hall u will come to know that someone actually has done a deeeeeeeep study into Communication Skills !

A subject which i found completely useless as an F.E!!!

CS basically is how people's expressions,gestures, body language,"APPEARANCE",SILENCE... wat not kinda crap can affect ur communication in day to day life !

APPEARANCE: It took a new meaning in CS ! In CS "appearance" means a complete formal look!

As though a first interview !!!

As the saying goes"First impression is the last impression"!!! One of r topics in the GD with KS!!! The amount of TENSION this female can give u is unimaginable !She wont let u enter in a class even if ur late by a nanosecond !!

As a CS teacher she VALUES TIME and all that...but still like late even for a second & not allowed!!:( (After climbing 5 floors coz TSEC lifts barely come when u need dem d most actually they never come !!!! ehhh.....)

I heaved a sigh of relief after CS submissions !!!!!

BUT Ms.KS made us realize that all these stuff do affect our life!!

Phase2:

I hated C++ in sem 1.....

Programming can be very difficult if we try mugging & understanding requires lot of time, patience & d most important INTEREST(& we have none in FE atleast) !

And in engg with the pressure of clearing subjects....came a new programming language 'JAVA'& a new teacher "GARGI SHAH"(GS)!

I thought she might be like any other stupid engg teacher in TSEC.....who knows her subject but can't explain & just working for a monthly salary(Exceptions excluded) !!!!

BUT she was a completely different personality ! One of the rare ones i have met so far !

She changed my view to engg & programming completely ! Keeps smiling all the time !! :)

She started teaching from scratch..like wats a PC & all that....

Initially the class thought that it was stupid & then we realized that it was for our own gud ...it made concepts crystal clear !!!!

She taught us in such a way that the class developed a kind of interest in java no actually PROGRAMMING !

The basics of any computer language r the same ......and she taught us those IMPORTANT basics ! In the lab she saw to it that, everyone understood the concepts & got the output(for which my batch dats A2 would make her go mad by chanting the word "ma'am")!

Lectures had suddenly become interesting,FUN & over crowded !!!

The full class was in love with JAVA & each one of us expecting her in r next & higher

semesters !!!...& then came a bad news that she is leaving TSEC!

That was really bad ! She had just come for an experience in teaching i guess ! She did a FABULOUS job.....& d most important made us take interest in programming !

THANK YOU for teaching us soo well ma'am.............

I have never liked programming like this before & hope to continue the liking!!!!

This brings me to the end of two contrasting characters of sem 2!

Combined with the tension from KS & fun with JAVA ...it was an interesting semester!

6 more such sems to go !

End of F.E......

                         LIFE IN TSEC !

As my First year of engineering(IT) is coming to an end in  TSEC ,and  i have finally got some free time for myself.........and that is what makes me write a blog for the first time ! So what do i exactly write in my first post ?

What did TSEC teach me in just an year or rather about the course?

The course is designed in such a way to give you a  bit of knowledge of everything under science,

but not elaborating on a single one ! Thats MUMBAI UNIVERSITY!

After taking admisson in engineering  none of us have any idea about what is our course  gonna be like?

How hectic?Will we get free time[to see movies,have fun,hang around with friends,etc]?How tough?

After the college begins in full swing, we  start attending pracs & lects (which we arent used too coz of the Junior colg system in maharashtra)  in which we just sit physically & GOD knows where are we mentally at that tym?

After all of this comes to an end  , comes the most tension giving time for any ENGINEERING student thats the SUBMISSION TIME !

In SEM 1 i did not even know when was the last date for the final submission !

The previous night of the BEE submission i got a call from my friend informing me about the submission date that it was tommorrow ! GOD ! I hadn't started as yet ! I was awake that whole night, completing my journal & assignments  of which i had no idea! That was one night i was  awake throughout !!!  

How many more such nightmares am i gonna get in 3 yrs  time?

All submissions were actually a mere end moment of copy work !

Each submission worse than the other !

Actually SUBMISSION TIME is basically  copying time !Copying stuff  that you aren't even aware of  ! Its a complete mess!!

Now thats what you call DONKEY WORK ![as put by Kulkarni sir(AP)]

• Why the hell am i copying so much, so much that my hand hurts ?
• What will i get?
  
• A good job?
  
• Knowledge?
  

These are the questions that came to my mind after end of sem 1 !!!!

I really don't know the correct answers to these questions.................... I have actually stopped thinking of all this because there is  much more to Engg & TSEC than this !!!

After we get a hang of the college & the course ,we realise that all these questions have no meaning at all!

The main question to be asked is WILL I PASS?[With subjects like MECH, BEE, C++...????????]

what if i get a KT?

How will i clear it ya?

What will my parents say?

A good student till 12th is now thinking of only passing...........how ironic isin't it?

I don't want a KT ! I wanna pass I wanna pass![Thats the only thought an FE would have before SEM1]

And as i have passed my sem 1 successfully......i hope the same for sem 2 !!!
