Hi... :) m back again with a new post… sorry to make u wait! :)
As I have nothing else to write about, I thought let’s update u with the life of an engineer, at home, waiting for date of joining. This post is about me... And many like me... Us... My batch mates (for all those who don’t waste time, don’t read ahead, this will waste more of your time…: P)
As u read in my previous post, last day of engineering life was so “not exciting” for I wrote an exam on that day. And after that everything came to a halt… with me not knowing what to do next…
Life was calling… I was feeling like a free bird who just broke from a cage… err alright... that was too much. Okay. I was feeling light. Some burden on my head was lowered… I was happy…
First day at home… as an IT engineer…
Mom gave me the final warning to get up; else, she would send me to one of my aunt’s house for 15 days. I suddenly woke up (don’t bother why… it’s a big story… there are more pressing matters addressed here). this was the last thing I wanted to ruin my vacation… I just checked the big clock running ruthlessly in front of me on the wall… it was 9.30…
I just checked the mobile phone lying on the table beside. It said 7 unread msgs. That meant preeti, rekha, ramya, anup, paarashuram anna, prasanna anna, and few more of their kind were already up. I checked the first msg. it read:
“Ek zamaana tha jab subah subah “kukdu-ku” karke MURGE hame jagaate the…
aur ek aaj ka zamaana dekho, hum sms karke murgo ko jaga rahe hain…”
good morning!
Ya ya... alright… I didn’t dare to read further msgs… I was up finally… dad had already left. n it was me alone in my mom’s hands… I knew what was coming… “Look at your room… is this the way your friends keep theirs? (I stemmed my sudden urge to say yes..;) they all keep it very similar… but of course I didn’t) mom sat beside me, I knew she wanted to tell me that I should keep my room clean… mom said I’m an engineer now and I should act responsible, and it starts right from here… I was listening patiently as I realized the crime I had done all along… my mom is so good at making me do things… I don’t know I listen to everything she says. Of course she is right. I got up to finally clean my room… I decided I shall keep it great hence forth.
Mom called out… Have your food first!!!!!!!!
Er… damage was done… I did it again. Postponed my work. I staggered to the hall with my plate in hand. And threw myself at my regular place… TV on... Remote in my hand… and I don’t know how time flied from here... I saw news for a while… same old stuff... I changed to 9xm... “haq se” was running…no.. I went to cartoon network... nothing was there either... I surfed through all channels till 91 and back again. I don’t know how many times I did that before I finally settled on “yeh hai jalwa” an awesome comedy movie of Salman khan…
I promised mom I shall clean my room in the eve… n this time it was a pakka promise I told her(I did it of course, at least half)…
Movie got over. What next? I half wished I had an exam next day… soon taking my wish back, I went to kitchen so that I help mom with lunch…
Mom was pleasantly surprised at my desire to help her in kitchen (I help mom always when I’m free, it’s just that I don’t get much of free time… but I help!)… She asked me to cut vegetables… I was going quiet well until onion’s turn came… mom understood my ominous expression in no time and winked at me… understanding my cue I continued with my work… went on and on and on until finally my mom said… enough… I’ll do the rest… honestly those innocent looking vegetables had bamboozled me with no effort…
Lunch was ready soon… and it was because of my efforts… I enjoyed it… ;)
What to do next I didn’t know… TV wasn’t calling me. Neither my laptop, I didn’t have any new books to read, news paper was done… what on the earth should I do now??? And henceforth….?
I was missing my classes very badly… those days were replaying in my mind as though I had them recorded when they actually happened… I was smiling to myself… and in those thoughts I was flown and without my knowledge, as though an involuntary action, I was asleep….
It was evening when I woke up again… why do I get so much of sleep?? I got up. Remembered my pakka promise to mom, I had done in the morning… I had to keep it(i'm such a good child after all!)… at least I had some work to do… I cleaned my room, cupboard, table etc… my room was looking stranger to me at the end. I thought how would I find my things now..? (I mean how do I remember where I kept them now?) Anyway…
Dad was home… and I rushed to him… I don’t know why… it was like I had to tell him one thousand things... but nothing came out… dad asked me how my day was… I just said-it was good! I had nothing else to say…
My day was finally over… almost 14 hours since I was up! What did I do…? This is how a week has passed now… no study to do. No exam to write. all we(me and ppl like me) do is… sit at home brose through net, read novels, hang out with friends(if they are around and not left to natives already) or I don’t know wat… many had been waiting when this all will be over, and now when it is over… we are wishing if we had little more…
Suddenly a mail from Eldorado pops up!!!!! Infosys campus connect is back to haunt us!!!! N hurray…. It’s from tomorrow!!!! It’s a must, before you join the company on 2nd august, I came to know!!!
Not sad! At least I get to go to college… :) wow… Thanks… AND SIT IN CLASS… :) not quiet sure if I’ll have the same or at least similar feelings tomorrow after the classes… I don’t assure that... But as of now m happy about it... :)
Let’s see how it goes and what is waiting next… :) hope you reached this part of post!!! c u in next one… :)
