So finally a degree at last. A degree which says that I hv passed out as a computer engineer from one of premiere engg colleges of India, NSIT to be a bit precise. After nearly wait of one n an half year, I officially became an engineer. I am very lucky to hv a convo so quickly. Some of my senior batches had to wait fr about 4 years to get their degree. In fact i too had a feeling tht I wud be getting my MBA degree just before officially becoming an engineer. Long live the 'efficient' Delhi University....;)

Last week I just got a feel of how my future life is shaping. Just in time flight bookings, attending various events in a span of a couple of days, n then returning back to the base. On friday night, around 11:30 pm, I decided tht I wud be going fr the convo on monday. booked a flight on sat morning 10am. This was the first time I travelled by a plane. yeah, the air hostesses were not as pretty as they r usually shown in movies, but they were kind enuf to give me a lot of chocolates....n i love chocolates !!!!!! after all the best way to a man's heart goes thru his stomach;)

one of my close friend's sister's marriage was scheduled on sunday. So i decided to spring a surprise on the friend. I called her up on saturday night to tell her tht i was in Ahmedabad n was unable to make it to the marriage, the reason being cited was 'academic pressure at IIMA'. Next day when i turned up at the marriage celebrations her face was worth watching. She was literally shocked n was really stunned. Anyways a gud party which was followed later in night by dad's scolding in home fr not spending any time with family.

Monday we had the convocation. Surprisingly a lot of people turned up. I never expected such a big turnout. With a lot of familiar faces around, reminicient of the life which i went thru for 4 years, when there wasn't much tension in life, 'academic pressure' was a lot unheard of, missing classes was the order of the day, planning of a future career was prohibited, lots of nightouts conducted just gossiping around, lots of discussions around babes, bikes n beers ( though i remained a teetotaler thruout). wearing those black convo dresses with the yellow apron n the cap certainly was thrilling. The best part of convo was tht a couple of speakers were unwell. So we were spared of a number of long, tiring speeches. I still cant understand from where do these leaders find enthu to deliver those stale, uninspiring speeches. The ceremony got over in 2 hours flat n then we took a tour of the campus n the hostel. A lot of memories did come up n the moment was all nostalgic. We took a number of snaps n then the custom of throwing the caps in the air took place( I donnow whts the name given to this process).... missed a couple of friends..... ajay,mallu, achint were not there

I had a flight to catch around 5pm on monday. So had to leave a bit early. So the weekend was pretty hectic, with a lot of running around to do. But overall it was fun n these moments are going to be cherished thruout the whole life. Now i m back in IIMA campus, sitting in front of Kotler, somehow hoping to finish the marketing assignment fr tomorrow. Hope tht i just dont doze off in the class tomorrow( thts wht i hv been doing the whole first term)

@ shobha : i seem to hv a gud future.... already inspiring a lot of people... at least motivated u to start blogging !!!!!

@ anuj : daal di convo wali pics....

@ devil : yeh lo ji... aap bhi humara didar kar lo !!!

@ ruchi : haan exactly, i was thinking on the similar lines. In fact most of us refused to believe tht we were given degree so quickly. it had been only one and an half hour since i passed out of the college n going by DU standards tht should be considered pretty fast !!!!
