There was a time when I had to make a choice.A choice that had the power to change everything.A choice that started the Butterfly Effect.A choice between two disciplines.Lets say D1 & D2.I had no clue.But hey, when you are in kgp and need some funda on anything, and by anything I mean 'anything', there is an awesomely evolved species called 'seniors'.No offenses.At that time, I only knew a few as they lived in some spooky buildings always high with 'tempo' and talked about 'GC ' haunting freshmen where ever they could.All what we cared was just the opposite( read CG). I turned to them for help.They all seemed in favor of D1.Huhaa peace hai bhai.Huhaa job lagta hai.Kuch scope hai !
Meanwhile someplace else, one of my batch mates decided to go for D2 over D1. There was a strange connection between our choices which was not known to us at that point. The mathematics of our grades was such that depending upon my choice, our fates were to be decided.Lethal.D1 seemed to be the clear winner for me.Rock on.I took it.Ergo he got D2 First few weeks were interesting.But soon the interesting became too much to handle.I realized that i always had a few subjects more than him but somehow the credits were always level.
Had the difference been just academic, one could still tolerate. But, Oh My God! It was everywhere.It suddenly flashed my mind that apparently its a well-known universal fact that you should never ever have second thoughts about D2.It has to be D2.Certainly my advisers were from a totally different galaxy. Also, there is a possibility that they ambushed me to become one of them.D2 was a kind of package deal. It offered peace,grab-a-ppo internships,peace,placements and again peace.And yeah, there were girls too and by girls of course i mean non-males.But still.Talking about D1, it felt like the world witnessed a mechanical holocaust and all that survived was beams,lathes,CNC machines and a few good men.Just men.
And now the million dollar question, how do I know everything about him? Well, eventually he turned out to be my roomie and ergo i get to see it all what it could have been.To conclude, it would have been awesome to have got D2. It would have been even more awesome if we both were in D2 together. But after being a part of D1, after experiencing a rare and unique combination of faculties, after the evergreen frustration and the constant abusive responses by fellow students, after almost two and a half years, I proudly say it was all worth it. There is nothing right or wrong about a choice. Its just a choice. The rest is all upon you. Yo Manu !
