The reminiscent past of KJS days...

Looking back at the 4 years of Engg in Somaiya which are assimilated into us just as our heart n brain, it was those years which shaped the character in me and what I am now..

First year in KJ Somaiya COE (Simply put as KJ) was just an ordinary one. I was in H div which people forcefully called as The Telecomm Div alongwith a certain G div. Ofcourse, there were about 16 Telecomm out of the batch of 64. Approx 1/4th of the class...
Nothing much to be written about the things in FE (H div). The regular Mechanics pracs, the workshop, the mix-max of Chemistry etc...The one thing I was regular in was writing assignments and workshop journals. I remember Mayur, me and Ashish Patel completing the assignments just under the proff s noses. Tough job indeed, but hey thats what challenges are for!! As every class has a champion, we had our own champion too goin by the name of Avinash Saraff (simply put as our own Diamond Boy. Always aiming to be on top, he ended up being a close pal of ours even though he maintained his ruthless attitude of CRIBBING.
And from Telecomm (H) there was Sonal, a very sincere gal (she seemed as such), Alok n Rajat (tag team people), Abhijit Nayak (YFE guy uninfected with the YFE virus until TE), Sandeep 'CD-Sandy' Patil (Name itself ws enuff), a certain Vaibhav Pandey (Mr LowJeans) , Nikhil Vichare (Our local Munnabhai aka "Love Guru"), Neeharika rastogi (Cuffe parade gal speakin HinGlish...noted for her "Mayuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur" and "What rubbish" and "Mad or what??")

Classes were supposed to be a sojourn , come n go at ur own wish, puttin proxies and ending up getting caught (OUCH!!). Puttin FE n proxies together, how can we forget a certain YELPALE sir(Mech Dept, a Living GOD for those who ve known him). He was very supportive in our "Proxy Raksha". He d gone to such an extent that with only 5-6 people he had made an entire attendance sheet filled with attendance. His dialogue was "hi jagay rikaami ka sodtat??..te pan bharoon taka". Sounded like music to many in those times...

Studies n FE?? Duh....they never got along but finally my Karma(not the movie) paid off. As u study , so u reap ur marks....a logic learnt in those 4 years, but not applicable for all. I never understood an exams gravity untill the result day (not even the exam day intimidated me as much!)

I was never to imagine in my wildest dreams what was in store for me in the next 3 years in Somaiya..after all Telecomm students would be coming under one roof (A n B)..the people i wud meet...become friends/nemesis with...college hassles...train travels...running here n there for notes...Exam-time preparation..
It was a pain, to die for....
