GRADUATION DAY

CONVOCATION '08

Finally the monkey has made it, thats what everyone would be thinking of me. How on earth did i clear engineering so effortlessly without falling into the set pitfalls. I am so bloody proud of myself that I am really out of words 2 express it. Any how, today was my convocation and officially I have been kicked out of the SATHYABAMA UNIVERSITY ;-) , my very own alma matter from now on.

From now on its gonna be MR. GIRISH MAHADEVAN, B.E [;-)]

It was really a touching moment for all of us but as usual it looked like any other day @ the college, got up early in the morning thinking that Its the last day so its worth grooming myself for this occasion which would take time (it really took almost 30mins to dress up), then on my bike i drove exactly 30kms (by count) to my college and parked and went to my department (by that time all the grooming had faded off ;-)).

FIRST CLASS WITH DISTINCTION...now thats something which overpowers all my past failures

There I went upstairs where I was called by PRAVIN sir, as i went and asked, I was told to be in the Lab coz the TOPPERS (First '10' (yes!! i really was one of them, 4th in the class & 7th in the department)) of the DEPARTMENT were called for some purpose from our placement cell. Then one sir took us to first year block and we were asked to fill a form...Guess what!!!!!! it was a feedback form where we were to grade our college administration & staff & other amenities.

Then we went to the auditorium where all the dignitaries were to come and give respective speeches, we were ready for a sweaty afternoon coz it was so damn hot inside the hall that it was very certain for us to shed a few calories ;-). I seriously don't remember who all came for the convocation but it was really boring by god!!!!! Receiving an Award from our Chancellor DR.Jeppiar @ ACHIEVER'S DAY

Convocation ended and all the students were to collect their degree certificate i.e. the file from the department staff (truly speaking, I was a little disappointed coz I wanted my degree from some dignitary not the dept staff), but was to cool down coz they cant possibly give degree certificates to those 2000 attendees (so,fair enough;-)). Then the convocation finished and we headed for our special,last n final lunch...it was chicken 65,chicken biriyani & raita, fruit ice cream, rose milk, laddoo & bottled Jeppiar water in the menu. I really loved the lunch there and was satisfied with everything @ that moment.

Then I returned my convocation dress and got back the deposit of Rs 200/-. Then came home in my bike for those 30kms and retired for some time in the bed.

I am what I WANTED 2 be

what else do I need??????????...thats it for now, loved the 4yrs of engineering which is worth a zillion (thanks 2 everyone who had been a part of my life so far, would do something out of the box to keep my name & the so called reputation)
