Indore diary [3]- H.T.D.

After one month of sitting together in a classroom, faces which were looking like stranger now become familiar. But still thread of friendship was no so much thick. There was Teachers day after few days. I could smell the plan of function to be organized in the air. After one day I found the source of smell (fragrance), when I saw some people were talking about function of teacher’s day. I also joined them. Later other people joined us. I took responsibility of schedule preparation and matters related to anchoring. I and Rinkesh, thought about light games for teachers to be played on that day. Everybody take its own responsibility, but actually we worked together in one team. There was just logical distribution of work but physically everybody contribute in everything.

Friendship start with interactions may be in form of talk, sharing a light moment, a smile, sharing together something and so on, list is long. When we do something together with people, during the between those moments you better know those people. Sometime we may not notice. But something in us stores the data about different people. Data about different people in mind decides relationship with different people. Let’s have a experiment, just think about any of your friend, how many things you know about him/her? Before you became friends, did you know anything about him/her? The things that you know about your friend are the data you store in your mind since you are friend with him/her. There are only two types of people in the world- known and unknown friend.

 Nobody can’t say that he/she become my friend on that day and time. Plant of friendship grows with sunlight of time but with fertilizer of interactions it grows fast. This is true with your enemies too. During the preparation of Teacher’s day function, we had those moments. Knowingly or unknowingly, we store the data about each other. That was the starting of friendship between us. Whether it was decoration of computer lab by all of us or disagreement on issue between two people and other people rescue them from each other. Whether clap together and cheer after every song sung by a teacher or small debate over the planning of function. But there was two activities that I `superlike`--Teacher’s day invitation card and preparation of play at Rinkesh’s room.

Invitation card was nicely crafted and beautiful, looking like piece of art. Many people work very hard for preparation of invitation card although unfortunately I was not part of that team. When first time, I saw complete invitation card, for a moment I can’t believe that it was made by people around me. Most of teachers were more interested in, How the card was crafted?. Vasanti mam and Aparna mam were more interested than other teachers. I notice that every teacher had a smile on face when they hold invitation card. That smile was biggest appreciation for the hard work behind invitation card.

Walt Disney said “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Same was true with play. We had a wish to do a play on teacher’s day but there was no script. But we gather just few hours before and script was written on paper of mind with pen of so many mouths. Everybody wants to apply his creative (?) mind. Everybody enjoyed those 3-4 hours. Idea of starting facebook group came into my mind during those moments. After so much mess, script was ready.

Finally at the day of function, everybody performs well. Play was great success. Teachers liked arrangements of function. For them our hard work was their felicitation. That day was over with tea and snacks in the evening, but there was friendship started between us and it won’t over…

Here are the two videos of those days, enjoy:

Indore diary [2]- A day at School of Electronics

I never knew I will post this pic here

In lazy mornings, I was generally first to appear in the class although sometime found Alekh is already there. After put my ‘luggage’ on table, first task was to switch on projector and computer and then to check mail. Meanwhile people with their luggage on back willingly or unwillingly drag their body into classroom. As the time steps towards 9.30 AM, I open slide of embedded system in another window. But I keep continue my task of surfing net. Sometime Alekh replaces me, sometime someone other. But one thing was sure that there must be someone with elbow on dais, struggling with keyboard and mouse, surfing internet usually check mail. Some people were standing outside; some were sitting on chair and some restless souls were going out and in from classroom, looking for chance to surf internet. Suddenly all people rush to their seats which indicates that teacher is about to come in class. I always like to seat in front row. Because whenever I sat on back benches, I have to see so many heads which start the storm of thoughts in my mind. But later after one semester I realize that sitting on back benches is wonderful way to enjoy with friends as sitting on first bench for one semester didn’t make me ‘Einstein’. Then it’s better to enjoy. During lecture, some people were more interested in water bottle.(I was one of them) When a lecture over, people rush to water cooler with their water bottles. Some people never bought their own bottle. (This time also I was one of them) But I always filled water bottle selflessly. Sometime I felt, all bottles in class were of mine. As the time passes I started to calculate how much time is remaining for lunch. When clock shows 01.00 PM, I took deep breath. Now it’s time for lunch.

I always want to have lunch like I had during those days. Not because of quality or variety of food, but because we all sat together for lunch. Menu of lunch was always surprise for us until all people open their Tiffin. I usually enjoyed so many varieties of food, whether it’s all time tasty homemade food or self made food of some Tiffin. Winter season brought together ES, MCT and SIT in garden of department under sunlight. In summer and rainy season, usually people took lunch in their respective classrooms. But if you were still hungry after lunch in your classroom, you could join other people in their classroom. Run fast may be they have completed their lunch. (This time you are wrong, I was not one of them who did that) After lunch it’s time to go canteen to take tea, cold drink, butter milk and samosa for people like me. After lunch, it’s again time for lecture/ lab. Some people like to attend lab or keenly wait for lab so that they can download ‘something’ from internet. They even didn't know about what they want to download. (This time I won’t say anything whether I was one of them or not) As time proceeds, evening spread his wings, now it’s time to leave department. People start to go for home or second home like birds go to their nest in the evening. But some birds were still there; take their steps towards canteen. Those birds like to take tea in evening together.

I always like to spend my evenings like those evening with dear friends with tea in one hand and words in mouth. Day ends until there is tea in cup.

So many things still remain to mention and some things cannot be expressed in words.

Miss those days...

Indore diary [1]- First few days

I was searching for a college where I can take admission for pursuing M Tech. Through a website I came to know about School of Electronics, DAVV Indore. I was not sure about whether I will take admission there or not, but I applied there. But as the date of counseling(7 july 2011) came near as I was getting sure about that I have to take admission there because I didn’t have another good option. Finally I left home for Indore. I spent my night at hostel of DAVV inside the campus at the room of my friend. Next day, I was praying that I would get admission in embedded system branch, unfortunately I got admission in Mobile computing. I realized that life has some limits. But still I was happy.

My first train journey from Udaipur to Indore

At the day of counseling, first time I met Punit. When I first saw him I never thought that he will be my roommate for next one year. There was formal conversation between us.I went home. After few days, I left shelter of my home in search of new shelter at Indore. For 15 days, I stayed at another friend’s place. When I got fail to admission in hostel, I decided to rent a room with Punit

Abhay sir’s battle ground

First lecture delivered by Abhay sir. I still remember his words: “Whatever I will teach in class, will be my syllabus”. He taught DSP. I never attended lectures so attentive except those lectures of DSP. For first few days I attended MCT classes as after that I luckily got admission in embedded system. At MCT class, first time I met to Rinkesh, Lokesh, Priyanka, Ashish and so many other people. I was very happy after got admission in embedded system. I even accept non-stipend seat of embedded system and left stipend seat of mobile computing technology. I was so excited to attend lectures of Rajkamal sir. I even attended two lectures of Rajkamal sir before I secure admission in embedded system. Thanks to satish for support me during those moments. How can I forget slides having dark blue background? The moment I first time entered in classroom after secure my admission in embedded system, I was feeling as I am entering unknown sacred place. I still remember the faces of Alekh, Priyank, Pradeep, Khushbu and Kavita, to whom i saw when i was entering classroom. Obviously I didn’t know their names at that moment but I store their faces in my mind.  Later I tag them.
