Bachelor of Engineering or rather Entertainment/Arts/Philosophy ????

An engineers life SUCKS!!

First of all 'he' (the 'he' is intended .. ) needs to be a nerd all his life. Needs to work his ass out to clear the entrance exams just to end up in a college reputed for the HR chicks loitering in the campus during the placement season.

After all the hard work and night outs (pun intended), he finally gets a job in a reputed firm shelling out the best package in the industry. The loads of work and the limited timeline is just to make him realize that he is going to end up being a social pariah not because of his nature but because of lack of time for socializing. He is left contemplating whether he should let his social existence dour for his work or is there a trade off between the two ??

The introspection leads to loads of free time just to realize that an engineers life portrayed with loads of booze and sex can actually make millions. Yes, engineers are making money not just for the firm which they work for but to Literature/Arts/Bollywood.

The latest chick flick, "Ofcourse I love you ... until I find someone better" is no different. Kudos to the authors Durjoy and Maanvi!! The character Deb is surrounded by gals/chicks even though he is in an engineering college. It is quite unusual with the acerbating fact that he is into mechanical engineering. But he does manage to score some pretty Delhi chics and he finds his love in the most beautiful/hot chic from Greater Kailash.

I find it very ironical that a daunting life of an engineer can turn out to be an entertaining fact for everyone including the engineers themselves. I think the answer is right here. It is in engineering that we learn not to study and be conspicuously proud of it. It is in engineering that we learn to enjoy all the exploitation, learn to live life as it comes, smirk at the difficult times and laugh at our own mistakes. The exact embodiment being the phrase "All izz well". Given the aforesaid, why not be proud of the fact that we engineers are making millions across the world laugh.

Said that, I suppose we engineers could cope up with the difficult times because we had friends all around us. Being an engineer and an hostelite it is hard to be senti, but today I feel lonely and I really miss all my friends!!!

p.s. : Guys lets go to college next weekend and hit the b'ball court. What say???
