WanNa GO BaK TO mY RoOtS....


" Nhi beta lawyer to bilkul nhi bann skta tu.....jahan tak baat architecture banne ki hai woh bhi tu nhi bann skta "....this is what my dad said to the options I gave to him when for the first time he asked m e , "chal jassi bata tu aage kya krna chahta hai...". It was not that I couldn't have become a lawyer or an architecture, it was only that my dad didn't want me to become that or he thought that these are not the degrees which u should be having in a country like ours....watever it was I didnt do any of that... "so, krna kya hai fir tuney" asked my dad again and my answer was Aerospace Engineering to which he replied , "Ok. Kya isme aage future hai ya fir aisi hi koi bhi degree hai ". I said that there is unlimited scope in this degree and I have been following aerospace engineering from class 6 and I just wanna do this and to hell with being a lawyer or an architecture. To this, very confident answer, he was very positive and said that we should look out for colleges which offer this course in India.

So the search for the college which offered a B.Tech degree began and my brother came with some results like Amity University, SRM University and UPES.....forms were filled and I had a very happy feeling that m gonna do what i thought in my childhood to do....

" Bta na kitne percent baney hain ", i said to my brother on phone about my result in the board results, to which he replied," 181/300 in PCM...i.e. 61% and in total 62% "......i was in a state of shock because i thought i would get somewhere around 75% and the Amity University people will give me some scholarship for doing Aerospace Engineering but now the situation was that , that they were charging much more for the same course only because i scored a little above 60% and i was not able to clear their entrance paper....UPES was my last hope and after a day or so of the board results ,when i was in a sort of depression, came their call for the inteview..... " so this means that i have cleared my entrance test naa....?? " i asked my brother.... " haan yaar, obviously u have cleared the entrance test, bas ab hum interview faad denge....".
I was so happy that day and told my mum and dad about that and even they were very happy...

" Acha ab tu bata ki tere ko sach mein Aerospace Engineering hi karni hai" asked my bother and dad in a sync.... " Haan yaar, aapko pehle bhi to bola tha ki yahi krna hai..... BAAKI AB AAP BOLO KI AAPKO THEEK LAGTA HAI KI NHI...."
" Dekh jassi...u will not be able to live with us in India if you gonna do Aerospace because of the limited masters college in India and doing Aerospace Engineering and then not doing masters in it is wasting your 4 years to become a mechanic.....i am just trying to be logical with you.." said my brother to me....
Then my dad siad to me that i should do Automobile Engineering because the scope of automotive engineering is also very much in future...
" Theek hai fir jo aap bol rahe ho wahi kr leta hun.....m fine with wateva u are sayin..." was my answer to my dad's, bro's and my mum's eyes looking at me....
I cannot leave my family forever to do a job in videsh.....

So i took admission in Automotive Design Engineering in UPES thinking that i will be very happy doing this....
I was happy for the first whole year in my college but then as our subjects became more "related to the field" i was not getting that much interest, instead i was taking interest in samaksh's subjects (he is in Aerospcae Engineering)....subjects like propulsion, aerodynamics etc etc.....

I thought that do i really wanna be a designer in the automotive field....i could be a designer in the aerospace field tooo....but i dont know whether it is too late for me to think about it or i still have a chance of achieving my dream of becoming an Aerospace Engineer or an Aerospace Designer.....cheers ....
