The journey of engineering in Amity

It was my birthday the day I joined Amity. I was quite confused about how I was feeling. Sad or happy to stay away from my parents and start a new life? It was kind of both. And now it’s more than 3 and a half years I have been in Amity and life has been quite good here.
1st year, it was kind of rough. Had some problems in adjusting to a new lifestyle, new people, different food habit etc etc. I realized that life isn’t going to be the same hereafter. As time went by, fun started taking its route. Made a hell lot of friends, got selected in the college band to play the bass guitar, and things turned out pretty well. It was a good experience to perform as a guest band in one’s own college’s annual fest.
2nd year, after being pissed off by some irrelevant courses in first year, gave some new life into my engineering life. Interesting courses came up. Interesting curriculum, knowledge boosting projects, everything just paved a way for an exciting engineering life. Joined other bands in Delhi, played a lot in many colleges, both in band competitions as well as star night. Started learning mixed martial arts in the university’s gym, did a project on jet engines. Interesting 2nd year it was.
3rd year, almost into core mechanical engineering. Being a student of dual degree course had to study courses of post graduation together with the courses of graduation. The real fun started right in this year. Always aspired to learn about automobiles and here I was at gate of the knowledge bank of automobile engineering. Apart from studies, continued my music career. Played songs for some short movies. Made a music video with the band. Towards the end, began my summer internship in Oil India Limited, Duliajan, Assam and I must admit, it was one two month training period which I had never experienced before. Right from trending technologies to classic old technologies, I got to lay my hands on all. I experienced how the job life is. And guys, I am telling you this, job life is as much fun as is college life. Trust me!
4th year, supposed to be the last year of B.Tech, but yet not my last year in college. Most memorable thing was the trip that I made to IIT Roorkee and Rishikesh with my classmates. Sessions for grooming the students for placement, the ever interesting subjects of M.Tech, oh God, it has been a wonderful time. Made another music video with another band to pay tribute to the Delhi gang rape case victim Damini. Released it on exactly the same day when the incident took place. The bridge between college life and job life can be clearly seen.
I am in the last half of the 4th year and I never knew how this 3 and half years flew away. It feels like I came to Amity just yesterday. College has never felt boring. Coming to college in the hot mornings of the summer, the foggy winters, bunking classes, skipping lectures, clashes with people, break-ups, annual fest, I’ll never be able to forget all this. I wish I could live these 3 and half years again and again. Hoping that 5th year in Amity shall be more exciting!
