I wanna be your t-shirt when it´s wet
wanna be the shower when you sweat
I wanna be - your hot tub - when you´re dippin´
I wanna be - your bathrobe - when you´re drippin´
I wanna be - your cocktail baby - when you´re sippin´
I just wanna be right there - more than anything I swear
I wanna be - your underwear
But babe, I never wanted to be an engineer
Bryan Adams was lucky.. he just became everything a normal guy would desire n even he didn’t get to waste 4 years of his life getting a B.E. If u luv engineering run away now otherwise I will haunt u in ur dreams n turn them into nightmares. I HATE engineering. Now tht I have said tht let me clarify tht it was solely my decision to get into tht rut so neither can I blame my parents for tht. So all I will do is rant ‘bout it. The memories came back due to two main reasons.
First is tht m getting bored frm this routine life of work. I m itching to break free n do something else fully aware tht after 1 year I will be saying the same thing again in any field. Second was a guy (frm mom’s tuitions a few yrs back) who met me at the gym the other day. He has completed his 12th grade n filled in the form for engineering. Now gym is a place I dislike to be in the first thing in morning. As if tht was not enough this guy comes n starts asking which college is gud n which discipline he shld prefer. Honestly I felt telling him to drop the idea of becoming an engineer n instead do something else but fearing his parents would come to my home with sticks n brooms I kept my wise ideas to myself. It has been almost 2 years now I got out of the college but tht dude wasn’t able to understand when I said u shld look how the campus offers went for the last year n then choose a college. Adding to the already confused condition of admissions the university has added a Common Entrance Test (CET) which is now used to prepare the merit list. When I had gone for it, the merit list was prepared only on the 12th grade marks but all efforts of explaining this to him went in vain as he insisted to know my opinion ‘bout his score in the CET. I know he is in a tough position n wants some answers but get them frm a relevant n reliable source.. pls not frm me. I had a ‘gud’ reputation in my class of just passing on the border .. in fact I joined the 40/100 marks community on orkut n was pleased to read tht there were ppl having more subjects with the magical figure of 40. I will count my tally n post it sometime. But as of now I will say engineering sucks n if there is someone in favour of engg. don’t sue me but pls guide tht kid as a favour.

With due respect to all engineers n the females in the world
Becoming an engineer is similar to getting pregnant. You just have to enjoy the success n not count the efforts and years tht went in, to become one
I would have luved to become a sports person.. not table tennis of course :D. Wht would u have luved to become instead of wht u r into today? If u r a student are u flowing in the stream u like or want to get to the shore n settle for something else?
Wishing all the Indians a very very Happy Independence Day for 15th August. I sincerely hope tht every kid grows on to become wht he wants n even if he/she doesn’t land up in the dream job, he/she helps India to outshine the rest of the world. On tht optimistic note, lets end this post by repeating after me “Engineering Sucks!!!” I luv u all.. thnx!

I'm sad to hear you regret engineering. I know a couple people in it. They seem to enjoy it. One is doing electrical engineering, the other civil.
I don't know what to say. There must have been somthing that drew you to engineering in the first place.
Try to re-kindle the love. Maybe a different career in engineering will make you feel differently.
Keep us updated. I have a feeling we haven't heard the last of this.
Remember, work to live don't live to work.
well guess most of us feel the same way..when I was doing my MBA i used to be like"what am I doing here for 2 yrs??"..
but guess this is a phase which we all go thru and which eventually passes away...so chill!
And hey happy independence day to u too!
Hhahahahah!
So.. Whats your final stand on engineering again? :-)
A person know bets where the shoes pinches.
Anyways loved the blog never the less.
Happy Independence day to u as well.
One thing is for sure I loved every part of my engineering days sometimes even academics.
40/100.
Raises his hands the highest.
Man No Orkut access. :'(
*is hummin d song*...damn now its gonna stay in my head!
Happy Independence Day:)...
dunno if engg sucks...but hey labor pain n c-section do!:( ...well, u drew d comparison between pregnancy and engg..not me!:P
hmmmm..what wld i luv to be if given a chance?...that's kinda like sayin i regret where and what i am not na?...nope thanks m gonna be realistic and make the most of what life hands me...and face it, we're where we are coz of the choices we've made...its terrible to have to regret our own choices...
i think ur fren in d commentz above make a lot of sense...
oh haan...mail on its way on thursday:)...abhi toh ghar pe holiday mood hai na:)...
u abandoned my blog kya??! :(
tc...and no regrets plz...!
helloo ji..man i also haaaaate engg..somehow hav reached 4 yr..vaise i enjoyed every bit of these past yrs except the studies part..but now cant wait fr it to be over. its becoming soo boring....cant understnd why i got into it in the first place..4 yrs of total waste..i toh really wish to become a fashion designer..
well one gud thng bout engg is tht one night stand before exams kindda works here..lol
Oh yeah....i think our generation and the one coming up next....is going to be responsible for shaping india....we either make it worse or make it better. I hope we make it better. As sudeep said, the next generation shud break free from the flow and follow the instinctive career paths. It could be politics, sports, teaching anything. As of our generation, we shud make sure that we contribute as much as we can towards creating this awareness.
... lol! rhyming is cool hehe ^_^ ! can u sing that lines for me sudeepuu?? :P
... seems u hate routine life of work... well, its not late for u to think some other work but u need to study again right? and its not a good idea for u hehe... ^_^

hey suddeep.i can understand the under current of your post..And well..i love my engg days verymuch..enjoyed verymuch.and i'm loving my days at work too..If you're really serious about engg..better change your mode of work..like changing platform or something like that..

As ishita said..you've abandoned my blog too? long time no see....
btw Happy independence day,Sudeep...
take care
the strangely and unfortunately common i-hate-what-i-am-doing syndrome. well, atleast you bothered to finish your course. i suppose there are people who join med school and leave it midway. wat a waste of those few ultra-precious years(but, of course, not leaving whould have been a waste of like a whole more time and brain cells)..
oh, n happy independence day to you too..
i guess u're not a morning person ehh... neways i totally know what u mean about getting in the rut.. maybe u can find something to do afterhours?
hey babe..yeah kya hai??stressed out or depression..one of these things has caught u..def!but don get bogged down with it!just take it as a passing phase... everybody cribs abt his decisions at one point of time, u r into this phase right now..let it pass..
u had made a decision in the past. n now u into it because of that decision. so face it up. make conscious efforts to like it. get some life. get some after office working hours life too..it will make u feel better..
but even after giving some time to this ugly phase of urs, u still find urself into the brooding mood, try thinking of some change of careers...do let us informed and updated.
now smile..itna lamba lecture diya hai!
here...kizzziii...and one huggiieee..feeling better??
@ Neha P.
Sudeep = Babe?
*his palms sweat releasing Sudeep is a babe*
@ Sudeep
Sudeep, yeah kab hua? I mean u turning into a babe.

@Anand: Yeah I know this is a phase n will pass but b4 it passes away i had to kick it hard :D
@PI: I stand by my stand tht it sucks :D
n u too agreed n repeated it, didnt u? If not then say it.. say! :P
@Tarun: tht person is thinking why he bought shoes when the floaters were so nice :D
i forgot to count the 40 marks subjects :( .. will put a reminder
u cant use proxies to access orkut?
@Ishita: hapens to me too.. i keep humming a single song every day
Choices can be gud n bad too na? So regretting is gud if it helps to make a better choice next time...i feel so
@Ananya: thnx i have someone to echo my sentiments here.. exactly wht i wanted to say 'bout studies
hoping infy treats u nice so tht u forget the 4 yr ordeal
one night stands.. ahem! .. lol.. yeah we call it here 'night maarne' n tht has turned me into a nocturnal surfer.. lol
@Ujwal: Exactly.. there is a flood of engineers as we all know.. students at this age just tend to flow along with the masses instead of trying for non-conventional careers
i also didnt think of it when i opted for graduation
@Kathy: I would luv to study again.. in fact m thinking of going to college again but time will tell whether i luv it or not
glad to know tht u r content with wht u r today :)
@Ganga: I luved my time at engg.. it is just tht the study part was boring n i would think over ur suggestion of changing platform .. thnx
not abandoned.. lol.. i cant see pics u post on ur blog n the links are blocked here so just the frequency has got less.. :(
@Sneha: hey welcome here..

hahhaa...I don't think there is a single engg who will disagree with u:)
Hello Ish up there :)
lol Sudeep so funny as usual!
Did Bryan Adams really write such a song? He's yukkks then :):)
Ur bored of Engineering...well I got into Comp Eng too so yeah I can say I HATED IT. And why the hell did I get into that rut? Mebbe cos I wanted to be doing a big job some day or mebbe cos that's the trend...mebbe cos WHATEVER!
**Wht would u have luved to become instead of wht u r into today?
I'd love to have been a model or a kindy teacher...cos Im good at both, I just know :)
Keshi.
LOL @ both the replies.
Hi 5s.
No man can't access any Orkut thru settings.I think I need to check on the whole settings affair.
May be change the browser settings and then try to sneek into Orkut.
It has been ages sinces I l;ast saw of it. :(
*A small tear rolls down his cheeks*
Between try checking the new Blogger Beta.
ahah!
so true sudeep..isnt this the story of all our lives...but trust me its also the case of" grass is greener on the other side"...!

That was a brilliant pic mate! happy independence day to you too......
hiyaaa....
nice post....but spent more time reading the previous post n comments :D
babyeee
Well i am not a morning person either.. and sometimes i wanna do some creative harm to those hyper ppl at insane hours in the morning
I wanna join that community too...
Thre shold be one more community something like...GRACE MARKS RULE!!
:)
Btw, at times I seriously wonder..if I would have utilised ma 4yrs in engg properly...I would have landed up in Microsoft now..or even in Google...
Damn..I Was a lazy bumm :(
As they say, the grass is always greener on the other side. Many ppl would give an arm or leg or even a huge donation to be an engineer. Pun tu radto???
@Kalpz: he he.. yeah
@Ananya: dont tell me tht.. i know it is boring
ab jaldi se naya nikalo..
@Yashita: *gives a hi5*
thnx..
@Keshi: u havent heard the song? i like it.. it is not yucky
yes i know u would have luved to be a teacher coz read tht in ur post.. n if u remember i told there was a similar post 'bout wht u want to be in my mind.. this is tht post.
@Tarun: will fwd u a proxy list.. try thro them.. kahan mail karu?
@Ekta: I know.. n where ever u go the grass is always greener on the other side
@Sreejith: tht pic was frm a forward..
same to u too..
@Preeti: he he.. okk
@Aditi: *gives a hi5*
creative harm.. lol.. like wht?
@Zoonie: welcome back guruji.. hows' u doing?
kya baat kar raha hain tu.. u too in tht community.. tere liye toh 140/100 wali comm chahiye
i also feel tht the study part was easy but i never studied coz i never liked it
@Vaibhav: ha ha.. probably coz i didnt have to spend a lot like others.. pan it is boring for sure
... enjoy weekend sudeepuuu ^_^
TC....
-kathy-
@Kathy: u too :)
oyeah I rem that :)
Keshi.
Hey Sudeep, do u know, from my very childhood I wanted to be an engineer...an architect, rather. But by my 10th standard results I became more influenced and interested in arts and English literature. My parents obviously wanted me to take up the science stream and pursue Architecture whereas I wanted to take up the arts stream so bad. So I ended up taking up Commerce one day just out of the blue, shocking and surprising everyone, including myself. By the time I realised it was a wrong decision, it was already too late.
But I think being an Engineer is cool. I have a lot of friends who are engineers in diff fields and they are mostly cool people. Of course there is a common torture in every stream.
Its a gud post. Njoyed reading it. And I loved the Independence Day Flower pic. Something very simple but appealing about it...
@Gaurav: glad our country got 1 engr who doesnt say it sucks ;)
thts wht i was hinting at.. parents force or kids dont know 'bout other fields n end up in the conventional courses
@Keshi: :)
@Priyanka: U take up any stream the other field always look alluring.. it doesnt matter wht one studied in .. wht matters is if he/she happy wht he/she is doing today.
i liked the flower too..
