Road Trip to........ year down in engineering...!!!

"girte hai ghud sawar hi madean-e-jung me ,vo kya geerange jo chalte hai ghutno ke baal pe."


Our submission was over and we were getting geared up for our preparation leave ( i.e 14 hr study every day) , i was enjoying afgani chicken with my room partner in a restaurant (j4u) , that leg piece tasted more as the bill of our dinner to be paid by my room mate's parents who arrived that day for being with us for couple of days.Suddenly my Motorola rang, it's devil's call..

me: hi ....what's up...???

friend: abe kaha hai, we are coming to pick you.

me: pick me for what..??

friend: we are going to lonavala and have arranged three bikes already.(those times, bikes in our hand was like nukes in taliban's hands ,we use to feel like king of the world)

me:are u crazy ...i am not coming as uncle has just arrived from Delhi.( instead of giving reason of preparation leave)

I believed so much in their ability of convincing people that i am sure they can even convince Israel to give land to palestine for their separate country hence i was mentally prepared to resist their funda and principle which they gonna tell to convince me for trip.Finally i got reassured that my belief was so correct.

we took off at 11 in night for mahabaleshwar, oh... it's not typing mistake....our plan changed from lonavala to mahabaleshwar(dynamic polymorphism.... for fun),we had a CBZ(old one) and two pulsar 150cc, in whole run the prestige of Honda collided with Bajaj (mom said no race).I'll give it to CBZ as it's performance was slightly better than pulsar. Riding at night under twinkling star on a smooth and curved road was such a experience , you understand the concept of aerodynamics well when you cut the air at 115km/hr and when you sit as flat as possible by moving your hips backward on seat and touch oil tank of bike with your chest, you'll feel the thrust in bike's speed immediately as aerodynamically this is the best posture for sitting on bike. By the way this is the same year in which DHOOM released and few of us practiced until we succeeded in lift the front tire of our bike , shit to john/stuntman ....he did it on hayabusa wearing helmet and Alpinestar's jacket.... we did it on cbz wearing bandana and t-shirt.

we said good morning to sun at 5 in morning and went to sleep in hotel room .After enjoying natural beauty of mahabaleshwar and strawberry at mapro farm we started discussing about returning back to campus, devil's woke up again.... we our selves didn't even know when the topic of discussion changed to moving to Goa and next thing i remember is that few were busy in getting the route information to Goa other were busy in making excuse for not delivering bike to their respective owners for one more night,
->bhaiya one of us meet an accident and we all are in hospital tonight hence we won't be able to deliver bike for one more night, as our reputation was so good that bhaiya wouldn't believed us even if we would have showed medical certificate/hospital bill to him ,but what he could have said at that time ,as we had entertained him at the time of our ragging.
-> I am doing group study at my friends place...., this is too good to be true but still i preferred this excuse for my room partner's parents over other options i had.
so back to our plan, going to Goa in the money which we had was unrealistic because we were not in roadies as if we are going their just to do an immunity task, our aim was to have fun and in Goa no money no honey...!!! hence we settled down for alighbaug from alibaug we moved to murud beach as we moved to alighbaug from mahabaleshwar, delay in giving bike to their owner's for one more night can not stop us as we were so good in giving gooli.From murud beach we finally started our journey back as our hips became flatron by that time and we need to search a lot in our wallet for getting 100 rs note among those 10 rs once. In our way back to campus we reached a junction from were pune was 100 and navi mumbai was around 80km (if i remember correctly)once again devils woke up and we moved to navi mumbai(for what ...i won't tell this publicly)we started our trip with Wills Insignia and ended with beedi.


Woke up after 18 hr sleep in our hostel we got our senses back, bikes were showing total trip of 650 km hence after working on their meter we delivered it to their respective owner's.finally we started feeling nervous about our exams as it's even sem but we were confident about our intelligence as we were all clear in odd sem's exam , for us arranging books was difficult then arranging bike and we didn't had enough money left for buying books thx to our trip,we thought of asking our tuition fee back from our tutors as we hardly attended any class of his private tuition class for which we gave money at the beginning of semister......asking parents for more money was not an option as we already used that lifeline for getting money for trip but we know how to work in minimum resource.
Six people has 14 days for preparation of battle(exams) and 2-3 books of each subject , we got last 10 year's question paper of each subject as they cost 20 bucks each for getting those Photostat (5*20=100 worth less than a pack of Insignia, we can spend that much on books...).

we plan to rotated books among us and study in a synchronized way such that when one is reading electrical other will read graphics and so on.... it's a plan and plan generally ...mostly fails. As all engineers may know passing and failing in a paper depends on one night study prior to paper..woo kayamat ki raat...!!!.So one night before electrical subject every body wanted to study electrical, two book for six people (2 aanar 6 beemar) hence we divided each book in 3 part, every one had to finish his segment in day time and at the night time we discussed 10 year papers of that subject, each question was identified by one of us as it's from his part of book and he'll explain the main points of answer to every one. This style of study works well as we managed to get pass in every subject of first sem.

so we gave all the exams and knew that we were on the edge but were confident that we'll land up with green color ,bhagwaan hamare saath bura kyu karega humne tho kisse ke saath bura nahi kiya...shaayad...!!! and we have also visited temple regularly at the time of exams.It's our result day and our heart was beating very slow many student went to temple before getting result but i thought whatever the result may be it has already got printed hence even god can not do anything now and if he wanted to do something he would have done already. Result was out and three of us got the tag of failure (first year down in engineering) and i was among one of them the battle has been lost. we were sad on our failure but angry that why other 3 have passed.On analyzing our result we noticed that we all were failed in different subject and their is no pattern in that.....conclusion is that if the paper has more question from that part which a guy read himself in day time he passed in that and other struggled,this happened in every subject with every one.Among six of us three failed in first year and .....rest failed in second year......! dosti ho tho aise ho warna na ho...!!!

WE LOST THE BATTLE BUT WON THE WAR and in 2009 we got our engineering certificate, but in this war we suffered two causality as two of us left engineering in between.
currently i am working in an M.N.C as software consultant and other are also doing fine in their field.

I think we flown too high that our wax wings melted by sun's heat.

note: this is a fiction and we all were toppers of our branch.
