Agar ye bhi Zindagi Nahi Hai Toh Fir Zindagi Kahaan Hai !!!

            565th BLOG POST -->>

       Last blog has been on my college life and this one again relates to it. As each one of us know that PROJECT is the core part of any IT-related course, graduation or post-graduation, even I am involved in it with full dedication and hopes. I remember when I was being told that there's 2 project which would be assigned to us in the last year of our graduation, I was shocked and numb as I knew that I am going to learn nothing in the coming months and I'll screw myself in the last year. But some how, in the last semester, I submitted my project on time without any obstacle with the help of my group members, friends and project guide. There were numerous misunderstandings within our group because of the impatience everyone had in them. It was also because of lack of co-ordination. No one wanted to sacrifice their moments of pleasure for the god-damn project. But, some how, with the patience in the last month, we did it. Fights continued but we didn't stopped. At moments, I thought of quitting the project and carrying it to this Semester and do it without anyone's involvement. But I didn't wanted to lose the match so sooner. At last, we succeeded. 


           Then, we were assigned Winter projects in Vacation as our college staff saw the expertise we had in dealing with coding and developing the projects. :-) But, as you know, college students don't know anything but still their arrogance and ego are high. None of us concentrated on the project, rather we enjoyed the vacation in our own distinct way. When we returned, we were being tortured by our Project co-ordinator for not dealing with the winter project. And we didn't did it because we knew that we are not going to get any marks for it because they want us to learn through it rather than getting marks. And then, whose attitude is to learn things in college? :-) But after our co-ordinator understood that we are about to win the game, she declared and asked us to continue with the same winter project as this semester's project rather than going for a new one. :-) And then, rather than discussing about projects, my classmates discussed about movies, Matheran, farm-house visits and almost everything that wasn't related to project. 


             Then, finally, after 1.75 months of 6th semester, I and my group members- Yusuf and Saquib went to our Guide with the Synopsis. She accepted it. Actually, she had to accept it because the very next day, there was a mid-term presentation where we had to present our project in front of all the faculties of our college. Now, this is something which is 100 times more dangerous than Roadies audition. So, guide thought that rather than screwing them a day before, let them face it tomorrow. But she was supportive. At last, we did it nicely. And then, in every laboratory lecture which was again taken by our guide, she supported us in all the programs we did because she felt we are someone whom people call "Innocent". And uska faayda na uthaana chahtey hue bhi humse uth gaya. We never went to report our project to her for next one month. Finally, 26th March arrived. On the bloody Monday, I and my group members went to our guide to show her our project as we completed it by waking and working continuously for 18 hours without any break and 7 hours the next time we sat for it. But, she refused to accept it. She asked us to get it signed by our Project co-ordinator. She refused directly as we have screwed her and her bloody ego for several times. Our guide had just one say that I cannot see your project until and unless she don't sign it. Finally, on Wednesday, she asked us to go to HOD and talk. We still waited for her heart to melt. And this continued till Friday(yesterday). 


             In this last one week, I and my friends have been in such a pressure that we neither ate properly, neither slept, neither laughed, neither celebrated the last week of college but kept imagining ourselves ruining our lives' one year by getting a back in the last semester. This was one of the worst phase of my life. There has been bigger problems than this but this was equally powerful in screwing all my motivated strength and approach towards life. I just imagine only one thing coming towards me: Depression in few weeks. We would have accepted this torture of one week if we would not have worked on our project but we did it passionately. There has been none in class who sat together with their group members for their project, but with us, all 3 of us contributed in some or the other way and supported the one who sat on the computer and struggled for the whole night. My classmates saw Yusuf in tensed mood many a times but they never saw me and Saquib in such situation. Saquib's Twitter username is "Fearless_Dude" and hence you can understand what kind of a guy he is. I am also the one who never let pressure exert itself on me. But, this time, my classmates saw our eyes wet and confidence at its least. Every minute, we had hands on our head. 


            At last, our guide screwed the power of project co-ordinator by directly meeting HOD and allowing an access to our project. We heaved a sigh of relief as Sachin Tendulkar would have after scoring that 100th. And this tensed week would not have ended so smoothly if any one of us would have reacted negatively to it. We kept our calm whenever some dumbheads in our class made fun of our situation. We never blamed each other for the negligence of our guide. Neither did we abused our guide for doing this with us. We knew that it wasn't her who was taking this decision, but it was that project co-ordinator who hated us like hell because we love breaking her ego almost every time we get chance. Today, I am so proud of myself and my friends that we have the capability to understand each other. Some friends in class who are reporting their project regularly were also intrigued in our situation. No one wanted us to suffer. They were feeling as bad as we were because it was the first time when the aggressive persons like us were having dullness and fuckedness (I created this word right now :-)) face above our neck. These 5 days have taught me how to deal with such situations when we don't have any other option to succeed when the main one is permanently blocked. With patience, intelligence, calmness, understanding, controlling emotions, burning ego and arrogance, we can deal with any kind of pressure and obstacle.


           Today, we have reported for the first time to our Guide and she liked our project very much. This is again a slap to that egoistic faculty. And, my lovely followers and readers, please pray for 3 of us, that we get our project signed in next 7 days. After that, we will live our life to the fullest. And our Graduation will end on a good note (with some powerful learning from life). :-)


  Thanks.
