'One day batting' at its best. Third year second semester rolled past with little recess to recollect. Our exams were conducted quite early this time. With just two days between the announcement and the actual commencement we were warriors on battle field with hardly any preparation.
I luckily wrote my exams well. Excepting Automobile Engineering, all other subjects were alien to me. The pace at which concepts are learnt and subjects dealt, I wonder if the tempo was maintained throughout the semester, we could work miracles.
A week before the exams, we had done a paper presentation at GMRIT. Suresh was the co author. We had worked on 'hydroforming'. It came out quite good and people were impressed with our simulations (Special efforts from Mr Balaraju). The queries session was where we took a beating though.(Reson : We were naive enough not to do an indepth research into the topic)
GMRIT was an impressive college. The infrastructure and the faculty was outstanding. Students could actually boast of having good lecturers. I know am stressing by mentioning twice but that's intended. It was Deepika's insistence and persistence that we finally ended up doing at least one good thing which would could add value to our resume. At campus, she was as usual full of energy and cynosure at the event. She made sure our stay was comfortable. We were treated like "Hey look... Deepika's friends". lol
We went around all the departments while having a curious look into the presentations. Deepika herself had built two models : a Bridge and a Dam. We made good friends with - Chandu, Krishna, Karthik and Netaji (not to forget his unique humorous accent)
Deepika accompanied us on our way back home. Childhood and schooling, two important and synonymous phases in one's life flashed as we talked thourgh our journey back home. We fancied our school life and inevitably compared with our present college life. A Philanthropist and an extremely caring person, she is sure keep her environment at high spirits.
Suresh was joyous that I had such a good friend !!
