Things you should know about aspiring engineers.


Yes, my blog posts are generally about society, changes, politics , etc But I thought I should give these thoughts a hold and write about my community.
No, I am not talking about sikh community but my utter idle engineering community .
So next time you meet someone who is either in the making or is already an engineer, PLEASE keep this in mind.

1. Whenever you enter an engg college gate, NEVER I repeat, NEVER expect pancaked faces and shaved beards.
We get up at 9.10 for classes scheduled at 9 and sometimes, we skip the toothbrush and paste part too. :p
2. Try not opening our cupboards or else you shall "smell" and see the co
nsequences.
3. Have you heard of the word called "jugaad" . Yes? Oh well, I am sure an engineer invented it . From fixing phones to broken hearts. We do it ALL.
4. The previous point does NOT mean we can be called whenever ANY appliance of the house breaks down. we are engineers, NOT mechanics!
5. I understand how everyone thinks that they study ONLY the night before the exam . Stay with us and you will know what it means LITERALLY!
6. Just because we chose this stream does not mean we are bookworms and con't know about the world. If we want to , we can sell you out in the market without your knowledge but we're just lil' kindhearts you see.
7. We do NOT study the whole day, well some of us don't . So next time you call me, please do not ask " I am sorry to disturb you, are you studying".
8. If you did your B.tech as a day scholar and not a hostler, I am sorry but you missed ALL the fun! Muhahaha.
9. We don't care if the fest is on or not, we detest make-up and good clothes . :p
10. Ever seen movies where geeks find science and logic behind everything happening on this planet? Ignore them! We can and will give the weirdest reasons for a
lmost anything!
11. No matter how much we've written in class (that is, if ever we have attnded them), we need a pil of photo copied notes to gain confidence.
12. Backs and supplies are our way of celebrating.
13. Birthdays become the worst day of our lives!
14. Rs. 4.0 is a LOT of balance!
15. We are the main consumers of coffee and chai in the world.
16. No matter how cliche you may think engineering is, this feeling is T
HE best feeling in the entire universe! AND a non-engineer can NEVER feel the same.
17. We think copying teacher's signature is better than completing their work.
18. We do have the courage to write our names on the answer sheet, read the question paper, abuse in hindi so that everyone hears it and submit the empty sheet!
Oh! AND be proud of it.
19. No matter how bad a song is, if an engineer has composed it. It WILL become our anthem!
20. Love us or hate us, you just can NOT ignore us. :D
