Aptness of the title can only be recognized by someone who has beard the burnt of four years at an unidentified place in realms of concrete buildings, monstrous professors, regular examinations and subsequent quest fro grades. With the submission of the No Dues Form, the toughest job of the ultimate semester, I have been relived of all my duties towards a BTech Degree [:)] and so as the title says I am......
Looking back at last few weeks at life in this paradise,as in my own words, I realize the extents to which a BTech degree can be farzi yet authentic, the later representing only the literal meaning. The pre-endsem period when everyone was haywire about submission of the undergraduate thesis, most of us finally rested on some or other manipulations of truth:P for the final dissertation.
Ours very own case presents the best of examples of this earthly reality. Devoid of an reliable approach a week before the due date, we finally end up getting a perfect grade is a living testimonial of hows the way to go about and around :D Few strokes of trial and error, slight modifications on good old MS PAINT and finally a bit of pursuations with regards to impossibility of certain tasks is enough to convince some unsuspecting Mr. Paily to realize how hard two innocent looking (subject to perceptions :o) have worked and that the results truely is outcome of that work. Hiding the existing work on the same topic is only a cherry on the ice-cream. And these realizations manifest into professon vehemently(exaggerations accepted!!) supporting these two beings at the presentation where a Mr. Bose was bossing around leaving everyone flummoxed. And since he expects to get a journal paper out of that crap of 4 nite-outs, I guess thats a win-win for everyone:).
And as if that was enough for the day, the clearing came with the news of another AA and an AB, in courses where the syllabii for the examination was presented the nite before. And with this I rest my case that nothing is impossible is something not said arbitrarily. When you can be passing as a BTech department rank 2 of electronics and communication engineering without knowing the directional arrows of a MOSFET there's nothing in the world that you can't achieve!!
But then the only fact to know is Who Cares. As in words of Director, we are just one more passing batch for the faculty who is ready to embrace a brand new wagon with similar apathy. We or for that matter some of us like me going for a hands on with new fields and realities, the technical knowledge rendered was just a means to the end..the end being the document I am supposed to receive on last working day of May with huge fan-fare. And so its just a moment to relax and enjoy my last day ..or infact the only night that is left...at this campus. Signing off now with a hope that atleast people who have been named in this declaration do not visit:) untill I am safely gone....

it's The ENDofSEMS !!
Finally over with the end sems or rather end of sems at IIT Guwahati. Coming out of the examination hall after the last exam of the ultimate semester of the four year BTech, Mixed feeling erupted deep within. On one hand was the joy of finishing the long journey, on other was the glum of reaching the destination. While on a path the destination..the ultimate goal seems to be the only end of voyage...but the uncertainitities of the path has its own charm. And at the end of it you only remember the journey without which the destination has no meaning. Any philosphical that these words may sound, its today I realize their meaning.Out of my last assignments as the student at IITG, I realize the importance of the four year tenure, which during its course was the only thing I hated.
Keeping the boring rhythm of emotion crap aside i realize, still is left the last pinch of the "dreaded" BTech..the undergraduate project. Have to prepare a presentation for the tuesday session,the final one. Still am supposed to write a conference paper on the work and also have to get done with an implementation. So lots of work at hand and forsee few sleepless nights. However I guess in these final times, the night outs would would be one of the events of life at college that I would cherish down the lane of time .. will only be back after the presentation...so till then Chill Maadi !!
