induction & intro

I was loaded, it was just too much for me after having a gala time at work for almost 3 years at my reputed company. The need to put in commitment and patience into my work was just not there inspite of winning so many awards at the company for undying commitment and superb quality of work. There were a lot of things to learn, the saddest being lack of sleep and bad food (no chicken). All this frustration lasted only the first week, come week 2 and we were loaded with so much work that all I could do was just glance at my bed for a few minutes a day. All the leisurely jogs in the mornings were pushed aside, sleep was paramount, ramblings for food to were forgotten just gobbled something up and ran for the classes, mobiles were forbidden and suspensions doled out to the brave and mighty who dared using them on campus. Life all of a sudden had taken a turn and the slow steam engine was replaced by a bullet train. it rushed past before you could say hello. Tough times for a benevolent ignoramus.
Engineers have an uncanny ability to adjust to anything and come out trumps on it too. It runs in their blood. I just had to pump it up a notch and voila (cud be 'eureka' too) life's back to normal. Plenty of pending work, sleep back intact, enjoying life; now that wat is living!!
A few days back while doing a case study, we just went past all accepted norms of finishing it quickly, knowledgeable that we all are our group ended in the mess till 4 am. No matter how much dinner a mortal soul has had at 9 pm, spending 6 hrs in the mess makes you hungry. My ingenious tema members smuggled out bread and jam from the mess coffers. I havn't tasted bread that was sweeter and more wholesome, the best i had ever had. 'Pet puja' done we stepped put into a campus shrudd with clouds, we were in them. I could feel condensed water drops all around me and the whole landscape was under a misty shroud. It was the best 4 am of my life (i can count the no of times i was awake at 4 earlier, after 4 weeks here, its beyond me).
Life will go on and engineers to be MBA's will manage to scrape thru, who knows may even score a few browny points with their occasional brilliant sparks. Lets hope to see quite a few of the sparks lighiting the skies of Lavale.
