The Trap
rightu 12th epdiyo mukki pass panita! Aduthu enna
Engineering ah? a random Uncle asks.

Tadatataan tadatataaaaan tann tann tannn (Bgm)

You will feel as if youre some mass hero when you realize
that youve completed your schooling and going to enter
the most interesting part of life.

ENGINEERING COLLEGE

Youll feel Superior to the Superman!

There is a common attitude among every citizen in India,
that ENGINEERING is more cool/attractive than ARTS
group. (Anga thaan iruku TWISTUU!!!)

School Students will attend many seminars like Jeyithu
Kaatuvom, Naama Yaarunu Kaatuvom Mass Kaatuvom
all Kaatuvoms!

There will be eminent educationalists like Jayaprakash
Gandhi and others (nono not Rahul Gandhi, Hes
busy in some Dalits house).
These educational experts will convince you that,
(as if he had evaluated every single paper in every dept.
Dude! check out how many attempts those experts made
to clear Digital Signal Processing a.k.a Degree Stopping
Paper)

Engineering has Wide Opportunities(Very True)
Engineering is a Safe Bid (Quite True)
After Engineering Your life will have a GOOD
SCOPE! (idhu chumma BIOSCOPE)
You Do Engineering. You get Job* (* - Conditions
apply!)
Were BORN TO DO ENGINEERING (Now thats a
LIE!)


You calculate your CUT-OFF marks and will select the
college in prior. Go to Chennai, attend the Engg
Counseling and there is another twishtuuu!
The college youd chosen in your mind will be chosen by
some random girl, seconds before you select it.

What else. Put Inki-pinki-Ponki Choose another college.


What about the Department?
Hmmm let me think for a while Ahhh! that cool
dialog from Minnale flashes in your mind
Oru Mechanical Engg Padika oru Fire Vendaam

You ask the Computerji to LOCK Mechanical Engg
The very next moment it gives a bulb that the course is
not available in the College youve chosen.

Now you get damn confused. No More Life Lines.

Oru fireum vendaam pesaama Triple E padi your dad
locks you and the computerji at the same time.

You go meet some random final year engg guys and ask
about the scope of engineering.

Anna, Engineering epudi? Nalla Scope irukaa?

They giggle and look at you top to bottom like a bali-
aadu(scape goat). You get confused once again. They
reply,
Yeah Yeah! Definitely Definitely!


First year
You buy Branded shirts, shoes, watch, Pen, Pencil,
lubber.
You check yourself in the mirror twice.
You go to the college to find that your school
Kindergarden has better infrastructure. Also youll go to
the ultimate state of depression and act like maniac, when
you find the college is without Structures.
Well! You know what I mean.
You try to be a good boy, attentive in the class. But all you
get is some criticism from the Discouraging/pessimistic
group of creatures in human dresses called Discipline
Committee What the hell they ask you to wear the cuff
buttons, I.D cards, Paal Card, Visiting card etc.
But still you try to believe that ENGINEERING is COOL!
P.S: First yearla No Ragging and all in our college Boss!
Adhelaam Dote.1 college la thaan nadakumaama Neenga
vera!

Second Year

Your Internal Marks Gradually goes downhill.
You start looking at Computer Science Dept staffs instead
of the Computer!
Hmm yeah!
you know what i mean! They are far better!
You start bunking. Your Friends start to smoke and drink.
But you
No No Only SIDE DISH!
Youve some interest in some subjects for some lame
reason. But youll be clear in your goal setting.
After two years! Me in L&T only! And few like minded
people,
Machaan! CORE thaanda ponum! Software laam
galeeju!
You nod your head and dream about L&T without knowing
that an E has fell into your TEA!

P.S: I.V laam waste boss! School tour eh better! You go to
some nearby village in the name some I.V



Third Year

You lose interest in studies to the level of bunking college
and watching some Telugu Dubbing movie, that too in
theatre! But the like minded people and you still didnt lose
your hope on L&T.
Computer Dept Staffs* get married-honeymoon-then
resign.

You know what I meant really! (idhelaam matum nalaa
puriyum)
*-All you can do is attend their reception and eat romali
roti


Then comes the pre-placement training. You attend
everything without fail. You gear up the following skills,

Communication skill
Group Discussion
Leadership ability
Technical skills

You try to solve aptitude problems, relationship
Problems.
(dude this aint the other relationship problem)

Its the real one. Itd be like

If As sisters elder brother was Bs husband, then how C
is related to the second wife of D?

Then comes another Twist. You hear from your seniors at
the end of 3rd year, that there wont be any Core
Company recruitment in your campus. Even if it happens,
the salary package is very less. And (Only) Software
companies will do the recruitment predominantly. You get
vexed. Your friends who said, Macha! CORE thaan
Gethu! Software Galeeju! would be the first ones to sit in
the software placements.

You get pissed off! Curse all the gods! Then you
might/might not get this ENLIGHTMENT suddenly! (this
would be discussed in the next part)

Final Year

Now the whole class divides into three,


THE MAJORITY:

1. People who change their minds, who really care about
the Money. Who doesnt have the technical skill, but boast
themselves like they dont want to toil in field work in
CORE and plans to stretch their arms in A.C in glass
covered software MNC office.

They CANNOT be proudly referred as ENGINEERS!

7/10 will belong to this category, hell yeah the Majoriy!. It
means in a class hardly more than 95% of them go in
(cattle) herds, walk towards the Software industries just to
sit in the AC not to apply their computer skills (come on
how could you expect those skills by gawking at the
computer dept staffs?)



THE MINORIY:

2. At least 2/10 People who stick to their words, Who
doesnt give a damn about the Salary and has good
technical/aptitude/managerial skills. They opt for CORE
COMPANY. Some even prepare for GATE exam/CAT
exam with utmost sincerity.

They CAN be proudly referred as ENGINEERS*!

(*-Those who really have those Technical skills - Born
to do Engineering! *RESPECT*)



Now the 3rd category Ladies and Gentlemen!!!



THE ENLIGHTED ONE: (THE IDIOT)

As the title says, it is about the ONE GUY who gets
ENLIGHTED (especially after watching the 3 idiots movie),
suddenly after witnessing 3 years of his life getting
wasted down the line/drainage.

He takes his school file which has certificates which he
won in many competitions. He suddenly realizes that he
has that skill! (anything like writing/drawing/music etc). He
realizes he has that thing INBUILT which he failed to
develop for years.

He thanks the god whom he cursed before.

(He may even end up making SHORT FILMS!, Which has
been the recent craze!)


He asks his heart whether pursuing that skill is the right
decision! Anyway it doesnt talk, just pumps blood - lub
dub lub dub. He converts that sound into an YES!

He Jumps up and down EUREKA! EUREKA!
His Dad comes behind him and asks,
Adhu yaaru da Rekha? Adapaavi, 4 varushama
idhathaan senjiyaa! Tharuthala tharuthala!


He calculates, 4 X 365 + 1(leap year) = 1461 days,
which has been wasted but anyhow tries to complete the
degree for the sake of Marriage Invitation!
(You know what I mean!)

He watches the STEVE JOBS Stanford Commencement
speech and decides to follow/live his dream.


He will seem like an IDIOT to everyone, until he
Succeeds!




Escape from the Trap (Conclusion)

You have to be within the above 3 categories.

You belong to Majority/Minority

Or

An IDIOT?

(Plus 2 students, Decide this in Prior. Dont waste 1461
days)

Now coming back, You complete the degree successfully
within 4 years, just like in movies where the hero becomes
rich within 4 minutes.

You get the degree certificates in your college and walk
along with your friends, as you meet a guy who just
finished his 12th probably for admission after the
counseling.

Anna, Engineering epudi? Nalla Scope irukaa?, He
asks.

You and your friends giggle and look at him top to
bottom like a bali-aadu.


Then reply,
Yeah Yeah! Definitely Definitely!


THE END.
