Einstein is a genius. Well it might be a clichéd as it is a universally acclaimed fact but at times you personally cherish the great man’s work. Last year had been one of the fastest years in my life. I don’t know the reason but yes, the whole year for me had moved in a speed of at least 2X compared to that of the previous years. Coming to the point, I had the hostel re-admission process today for the forthcoming academic year. My previous year experience had really pissed me off.
Today I entered the place at 8:30 am. The things started on time. No waiting business or token crap. We were allowed inside at 8:30 sharp, given the apping forms and a soul was explaining how to fill the form with the help of an LCD projector. Then we moved on to the next room and the whole process of fee payment, room allotment and other stuff that took just a few tens of minutes. Another awesome aspect of this year’s admission process was that we were given the option of staying in the same room that we stayed in the previous year. I came out at 9:10 am. Goodness gracious, I didn’t have the problem of shifting the whole thing up to another block. What took nearly 13 hours last year just took 40 min this time? No kidding.
Coming to the bigger picture, why is this sudden change? Who revamped the whole crappy process? Well it was not a difficult thing to guess. We saw the same old faces but for one man, Dr Srinivas, the new Associate Warden of CEG. Man, he is smart as a whip compared to the other Profs who handle or manage such things. He led from the front and challenged the hostel admission history. Great work indeed!
What CEG has taught me over three years? If I have to say the answer as Electronics then prolly I am wrong. I know electronics concepts to a decent level but CEG has no business in it. Then what else? I should say CEG has taught me things that are big. It has taught me the way of life though the path that had never been not a bed of roses. It has taught me the hard way, the way to live and survive. It has taught me management (at most times how things shouldn’t be managed!). What I saw today was real management and the credit goes to the Associate warden. My words of advice to those people who are peeved in joining this college and lamenting about college doing nothing for them:
“There is a learning opportunity in everything, provided you keep your eyes open”
