Without any competition, love continues to be the most complicated feeling in this world. It can screw you up really bad. However on the other side, love remains one of the best feeling too. The basic "feel good" feeling when you think about the one you love can get you "high" without Old Monk or grass (Okay, frankly speaking the latter ones are more faithful choices). Love somehow goes beyond the limits of thoughts and breaks any barrier, be it caste, creed , religion or country. The universal feeling of love may sometimes get extra personal as well. This is what happened to him.
He joined engineering after realizing that he had followed the crowd for the last two years and thus he decided to not use his wit (almost scarce anyways) and follow the crowd. Basic subjects like physics and mathematics were simple in the first two semesters. Given the level of complacency that filled up his brain, he found his hostel room's bed somehow more comfortable than the college seats, more than even that of the canteen. So he decided to bravely bunk lectures in the weekdays and catch the earliest train on Friday to reach 'home'. His luck favoured him in the examination and he thankfully found the topper sitting ahead of him. Copying was an art he had mastered a long time ago in coaching classes while taking tests. The only thing he repented is that he couldn't successfully apply the expertise in AIEEE or IIT-JEE. However, the expertise came handy later in the exam and he somehow managed to 'clear' all the eleven examinations of first year.
However, this time the things were different. In his last exam, he noticed one of his prettiest classmate. He didn't have whiskey the night before and therefore he was alert enough to notice her. He noticed everything, right from the way she tied her hair with pins, her earrings, her bangles, her bindi, her nail art to the way she smiled. He got a small crush that day and he decided he would attend the lectures just to notice her. He finally decided to break up with his bed and instead look ahead for a 'real' relationship.
On the first day of the semester, he decided to attend all the lectures. Since he felt his friends would make fun of him, he kept his decision personal. However, he wasn't aware of the fact that attending lectures wasn't everyone's cup of tea. Bohot papad belne padte hain. From day one, the professors had taken a silent wow to make the lectures more lethal than the actual wars. Students armoured with their amazing talent of texting during lectures and at times sleeping without catching any attention, could actually attend them. However, for him the lectures were just a chance to look at the girl for whom he fell.
Although he spent most of the time noticing her, he managed to come across words like alpha dc, beta dc, transconductance, Laplacian Domain , Push pull amplifiers, hybrid parameters,transfer function etc. He never took the lectures very seriously but he never bunked them. Life was being perfectly alright for him. He befriended her, took her number and spend most of the evenings talking to her. She on the other hand, motivated him to complete the assignments on time. While completing assignments, he came across those complex words once again. He somehow gathered an interest for knowing what those things actually meant. So he went through the textbooks and he unexpectedly understood what he was actually reading. Unknowingly he developed an interest for engineering.
He took his mid semester exams and didn't score too badly, scoring 108 out of 150. She scored 112 and he somehow felt competitive for the first time in engineering life. He vowed to actually study and score more than her in the end-semester exams. However in the series of succeeding months, his life changed entirely. She considered his as her closest friend, and went on to tell him the biggest secret that she had hidden from the rest of the class. She had a boyfriend, whom she loved more than anyone else. She told him that he was the second most important person in her life. Each of her word hurt him deeper and deeper. However, he decided not to reveal anything to her, neither his feelings, nor his wounds.
However, she had brought a complete transformation in him. For him, his studies were important now. He found engineering interesting and developed a unique feeling for engineering. It got him high when he was with his textbooks or with his robots, he had again fallen for something. He didn't just finished the final exams with the highest marks but also passed out engineering with the 14th highest score in the university. He went on to join one of the premier management institute in India, IIM-C. As he vowed, he never showed his feelings. She went on to marry her love and he ended up being with his true love, electronics. They lived happily ever after.....
