Hi all,
Continuing from my final days in school , it was a great experience during our entrance exam preparation, we were in Chennai , till date , I don know why and how I made such a decision , as in to go to Chennai to prepare for entrance exam , as if there is no coaching center for entrance in my place, the sad part is only after I went there I realized no-way you can crack an entrance exam with 1 month of coaching in fast-track as they say it, the funny part is our full gang was there ..Myself , Gautham , Karthi , Arun , Abi , and some more too !! Woah ! Those terrific days, each day will move, with our resolution to study seriously from the next day , as our maths tuition sir , Senthilnathan's , words of terror will always threaten us , about the entrance exam..
I had my entrance exam in Training Complex, my frnd Gautham had it out of township , Karthik Abi Arun had it in Jawahar Science college, though our center were far, we used to go together in bikes and cycles, hoping atleas we should get a college in same place,chatting about colleges,and not about the exams which will decide where we will land in..So the results came up, I had scored 1098 2 less than my dream score, 1100 out of 1200 would have been a great achievement for me,but the biggest twist came in my Math paper,where I had scored 190, while I was expecting 200,and sad part is I applied for photocopy of d paper..Tragedy struck me there, I had answered 11 out of 10 questions required , and I had realized I had answered one extra,so I had striked off one , which was not a prove that kinda question,assuming that I would have done all the proofs correctly,but I had made a mistake in a prove that question in first step itself , and it had cost me the 10marks,which played a very big role in my life,and entrance I had managed a pretty decent 81.04 out of 100 ,for which I was very much satisfied with myself.
My frens too were like me , lost in board,but managed well in entrance, and we were applying for all possible colleges in TN wherever we had a better chance , the funniest thing which happened during that time was,we all friend will fill forms together in my house , and our Giri too was there,and he wil ring up to his mom , to ask the spelling of her name !! :D
So we had no other go ,had to go for Amrita ,which took students based on entrance marks alone,as our board marks would have never fetched us a decent one..So Amrita University , had called us for counselling, in batches with the marks in priority, I had it in the morning session of the first day, Gautham,Giri all the same day in subsequent batches..
We took the bus from Neyveli , a govt bus,which looked like it will never reach Coimbatore,and sad part was our college was not in Coimbatore literally,21kms away from the city,and Palakad,a famous place in Kerala,was nearer to our college,than the city..My first journey to Coimbatore,was full of funny incidents.The bus was full with students like me, and parents . My dad alone was coming with me,while almost all had both dad and mom,and their siblings even.First funny incident happened when,conductor was confused as there were more than 2 people for same seats,both the persons having reserved the same seat,and the reason for the confusion,my school mate Mithun,had reserved the ticket for the next day ,and not for that date. So after that issue was settled,we started,the moment we crossed township,it started raining ,and we had to shift seats to find a seat not leaking,and me and my pal gautham were sitting together now,discussing about the rain,we felt that,it was more situational than natural,as we see in movies,when hero moves out of his home or enters a new place where fate awaits him,it would start raining...
So it was 7am in the morning ,we reached Gandhipuram busterminal , I got down from the bus,and first time I had kept my foot in Coimbatore,expecting some kinda feeling as they show in movies,but I was welcomed by a hell lot of dogs barking at all of us (Thankfully not me alone ).. I had to go to a place called Ettimadai,so we enquired and me and my dad,and one more gal and her parents,had boarded bus to Ettimadai,while others had time to refresh,as their session was next to mine,and ours was scheduled 8 am. By the time I reached college it was 815,and I went to the auditorium,tensed a bit,as I was late,and finally I found the name in the sheet which the admin had,and he said the session is about to begin and hence I had a very little time to refresh up,i had just brushed,and we sat in order of the marks,and I could feel my dress giving a stinking smell,due to the rain n my sweat..I was ninth,my one more frnd,Anand,my classmate in 11th and 12th was 8th,and there was one guy who sat next to me with his dad,and was 10th in the ranking.So we were speaking with each other,while me and Anand were determined to take CSE,the other guy was totally out of mind,his dad called up and discussed with a faculty there,so finally he settled for ECE and wrote that and gave in the piece of paper,which they asked us to write and give our preference.Everythng went smooth,while the guy next to me was confused totally,he said ECE,his dad said CSE,when he agreed for CS,his dad said ECE..Anand,was the first one to take CSE ,and he opened the account as all others before took ECE,i being second in CSE,and twist was the guy nex to me settled for CSE !!! To all yo people,who don kno who tat guy is , he is none other than our Netta Gautham,the antenna of our dept ,called so ,for his height,from Trichy !!
My friend Giri too had got CSE,and 2 more people from my own place,whom I had met for d first time,Ajay and Madhu ,they had taken CS like me,and Aswin Raj,my classmate from 7th std again in CS.Mithun had taken IT,and biggest part was Gautham (my classmate ,not the guy from Trichy) again lost his veto power to vote for himself,decided to go with his parents choice,took EEE inspite of having a seat in IT,and his interest lightly being in it,as EEE is known as a terror dept alwas..His previous voting time was in time of group selection in eleventh,where he had managed to shift between comp and bio group a record 4 times,which I think nobody can ever meet,sitting in four different classes in first four weeks of our school
Ashok,my schoolmate again ,took EEE,Abinash too in EEE.Aswin, not-so-close friend that time,was my classmate too,now again in college in CSE..So there we were, in different groups,pondering about our departments and we never knew that time that,we all will form a gang ,which will become famous thru out d collg..
So there we were, my gang of frens in Ney,remained quite unscathed to get admission in Amrita,and my frnd Karthik had taken medicine in Pondicherry,while Arun had opted for a MSc prog in Anna University...
My first day in college awaits...
