Yesterday I have been asked by one of my senior that what have I learnt in last 6 months? He said that you are a Btech student and in one of the most dominating branch but that does not simply mean that you know all and a real bond. What’s the thing that makes you superior than most other students of your class.
It was a new question for me and I was not prepared. I have never been asked any such type of question by anybody, at the first instant I was speechless but any how I managed it and gave him the best answer that I could think of, but truly and frankly speaking what I have told him in that atleast two things were really lies and without those two things my answer would not have made much sense. I don’t know why I spoke those two lies perhaps because of the fear of deformation of my image in his eyes or because of any sudden impulse but that does not mean that I do not learn anything but since I have been asked suddenly and never before I analyzed or think about it that’s why I have to give him an artificial answer but it’s after his exit that I thought about the fact what I’m and if I’m a good engineer? Speaking from my point of view I’m not ever totally satisfied by me, whether it’s my class 1st marks(99%)… or my class 10th percentage(90%) or it’s the percent of my Btech first sem(73%) the last one is more depressing and painful, not so bad those who know bout marking scheme ……but the case here is of my alone…
So the question remains, what I have learnt in these last 6 months, and that too without any lie ! The first thing is my love and that is for programming. I love programming and it had always been my dream to be the best programmer. I have a command over C++ and this year I’m in the organizing committee of “coder’s cult” .”the C++ programming contest” this is only thing which sometimes make feel proud and which creates in me a sense of not being a duffer. I can challenge there is no one in the whole first year who can defeat me in C++, there are logics behind it. I ‘m learning languages from class 8th and study core in class 11th and 12th . My CS teacher Mohammad Arsaalan was really a true genius who knew the things well enough, unlike my IT teacher who is one of the most confused souls. Although in it I’m not equally genius in all the topics it’s classes .. structures.. which r my strengths and pointers are a little bit annoying, from the beginning of sem, I am continually studying C++ and devoting a proper time to it because I know this is the only thing which really help me in my future prospective… I want to be the master of it…
Speaking from my heart I really don’t love the subjects of first yr. What is the need of studying Mechanical and Electrical for a computer science student and when I ask this question to higher authorities they simply said “ beta when u go in a company and there might be a possibility of….” What is this yaar… start teaching core subjects from the first year so that when we come after 4 year then we should be the master of at least our field otherwise we would be good for nothing what is this…??? Chal raha hai chalta jayega… okie… I’m not saying all these because my electrical has reduce my marks by 8% in 1st sem but this is the fact… we can not simply divide 24 hrs in such a way that we can study all mechanical, Electrical, HTML or C++ we have to choose what we have to study of course or real extra knowledge..
This time I’m heartedly learning web designing and have got a good command over HTML but not the master of it and lot more there in it which I’ve still to learn and then I’ve to study Java Script and I’ve set a target of next 15 days, these days I have a break and again because of all this schedule, I have decided not to go home and why I am still there when my minors end !
So I have to learn more I know I’m more ambitious than others, so at this moment I realize that I have learnt at-least so much in these last 6 months that nobody can question my learning and overall it’s knowledge that matter at the end. If you have knowledge then you can be distinguished easily from the peers and opportunities will knock at your door.
