Self Made Voyage!!!...

So many articles written this summer and yet I find it extremely hard to find words worthy of describing this awesome experience. A countless number of priceless lessons learnt, with a soul renewed and a heart pumping more horse power than ever before, I get ready to step into my third year in college!

If there is one thing which Bharat Forge has taught me, it is to remain in one gear only and that is 'constant over-drive'! It might not necessarily mean physically running around all day, but it surely means getting into an unbeatable state of mind! Project after project successfully completed and consecutive reports timely submitted, it's been one hell of a ride!...

I think I've literally done almost everything conceivable in the past year and the summer intern which followed, and in fact, 'eventful' would be a very mild description for depicting this epic voyage. But, with my third year in engineering college just round the corner, things are about to get serious. This is the year which will probably have the most profound effect on our careers, with companies arriving in our college to offer interns and placements to all the students.

Although there are certain walls yet to be scaled, building for the future has rendered every other small priority irrelevant. Reality can't be changed and hence among other things, getting good grades is of the utmost importance, without which all other efforts would be in vain. I was fortunate to have done this year's intern with one of the topmost students of our department, one year senior to me, who other than being a good human being, also served as an inspiration.

He has done it all; right from getting the first rank in one semester and winning several events like IDP in Anveshan [the Metallurgical Engineering fest in IIT(BHU) Varanasi], all the way to forming his own dance group with his friends, called NUTS'11!... To have achieved all of this and yet be the very personification of humility inspires me to respect him all the more. What's even better is that he has become a very close friend of mine, and its good to finally see someone who lives by his own common sense and follows his own self-made principles, just like me!...

It was a pleasure to have him come over to my house for our report completion today, followed by lunch. He never speaks as if he's older to me, and a chat with him on a personal level spread a sort of calm over me, which I had not felt since a long time. So, hope we always remain in close contact Himanshu bhaiyya. Looking forward to cracking this new academic year, as the word 'fighter' is much more than just a cliche, I repeat the words which are, and always will be, the closest to my heart:-

BE THE FORCE!!!...
