Completion of Engineering a Dream Come True

In the forth year I Was down by one subject and to my surprise it was Machine Drawing and Design. Which I cleared in the supplementary examination I was getting the smell of success in the engineering and making the dream come true for my parent, my family as well as myself like the character of Arjuna in Mahabharata I was seeing the eye of the sparrow and the white spot There in I recall my parent asked us about our studies It was not as not as if they did not understand and importance of studies. My father was “Intesciner” pass a land mark in the qualification in his time in the 5th decade if the last century. This was after matriculation and before graduation. They were confident about their children’s studies. He always boasted about his friendship with Padmshree Dr B. S. Choube Ex-dean of Medical College Nagpur a renounced Physician of central India, based at Nagpur.
Out of the six brothers and sisters the elder sister Rekha Completed is Master Degree in Literature from Rajnandgaon, I was in the final year of Mechanical Engineering. Mukesh did well up complete his graduation Hemant also made some trials and errors with his advance studies. Basant completed his Bsc and so Renu her post graduation. Overall, all of us received our education despite the constraints in our family.
As mentioned in this blog I was seeing my bright future so I concentrated on my studies in the final year keeping aside the exa curricular activities. The drawback of the annual system was a student had to contrite on all the eight Subjects along with the practical at a time unlike the present semester system any way I prepared well for the exams.
It was probably first week of July 1975 I am not recalling the exact date on which my results came. As I was having only the hint that with in two- three days time the result might come I used to go daily the bus stand where the business from Raipur used to bring the news Paper the other communication facilities were not available those days. I was full conscious about my success in the examination but not sure about the percentage I would get. Finally The day come after reading about the headlines of result in the Navbharat I searched for my roll number in the first Division list of the mechanical Engineering final year result, I will not be able to express my feelings today what I felt after finding my roll number in the first division list I rushed home with the news paper touched feet of my parent and told them about my results we were all in tears the tears of pleasure the tears one gets after achieving some thing and making the Dream Come True.
