"Kaun Selling - Engineering seat le lo "

Every journey begins figuratively with day you buy your ticket. Without ticket travelling is dangerous. The ticket in our case was a day of counseling at the university campus. A 'strange collection' of people from the university were handling our counseling. On the face value they appeared to be harmless. A presenting for which we paid heavily in the later stages of our journey. Also the country's brightest were also in the room. Out of the approximately 72,000 who appeared in the All India entrance only the top 350 had been called till then for 120 prized seats. When u do the maths, initially 600 students were competing for a seat. When we were called around 60% of the seats were already full. So chances were still very slim. I met these couple of really nice guys from a near by town which incedently was the capital of the state. That day I never realized that the first quarter of this story would be so influenced by them. I saw another character, a very stoic guy. I never saw a smile on his face even when his seat was confirmed, as if he had a kind of distaste for this stream of engineering. It was later I came to know that he really disliked the Computer stream and wanted to become a mechanical engineer. I did not know then what future held for me. But I was relieved, after a year's hunt my journey had begun. A journey that would make what I today.
