T.G.I.F. – That awesome feeling
when you know that the weekend is here!
The impatient wait with drowsy
eyes during those last fifteen minutes of the last class of the week is just
spectacular to watch. I know that the weekend beckons us. I no longer have to
get up at 7’o clock in the morning and prepare myself for a 8 hour long lecture
session on anything and everything engineering can ever do in this world. I no
longer have to curse my wing mates of other departments who almost don’t have
any classes at all – as if it’s a diploma course they are pursuing. I no longer
have to think twice before putting my hands on that bottle of beer. Seriously,
thank God it’s Friday!! Over 30 classes a week including labs in the most
hostile environments possible doesn’t make my week easy. Years back I thought
engines are amazing stuff. Yeah they still are but it accompanies with itself
quality ugly noise and sight! I stayed away from electronics and electrical
because I hate circuits. Surprisingly, mechanical offered me with a circuit’s
lab with some “awesome” supervisors and then sensors and image processing; are
you kidding me! With 4 classes on one of the days one expects to have half day
off. But what we are offered is every alternate class! Well we are mechies and
we can work hard but that doesn’t mean you have to take away our relaxation
time. :|
Again on the other hand, I can’t
blame anyone for such torturous sessions. It’s me, who decided two years back
to choose Mechanical and hence not live life the easy way! It’s royal – doesn’t
matter whoever curses or praises us. We make the cars and bikes you dream off.
If you boast about the chips and cellphones you make, I’m sorry, you don’t make
them, the robots which we make, make them for you. If you boast of your
beautiful buildings and architecture, we pump water and other necessities in
them. If you boast of your electricity producing plants, well we make the
turbines that generate the power. If you boast of the knowledge of ores and
metals, we make all the mining technology you need to extract them. In short,
it’s impossible without us. This is what makes us happy with all these frustrating
moments around.
T.G.I.F. It’s relaxation time!
