Everyone of us watched the movie “3 IDIOTS” and really liked the way it presents the life of 3 engineering cadets in a humorous manner. The movie had such an impact that everyone from engineering fraternity wants to be an idiot. Infact, it has changed the definition of idiot from stupid to 'I do it in my way', from a dumb guy to fun loving guy, from a caged lion to a free bird with independent thoughts. But the movie raised few questions and confusions in my mind.
Is it really possible for a guy who has just joined the campus, is in 1st semester of engg. to finish the uncompleted project of a final year guy? In high school, he was just preparing for prestigious IITJEE, reading lots of books, then how come he knows abt wireless communication. Is it real not to attend the classes, not to be in good books of faculty, be thrown out of the classes and then also top in the finale? Wat abt internal marks based on attendance and faculty (that was a big deal in my campus, don't know abt urs)
Well this all seems too difficult to a student like me, though it is not impossible. I just relaxed thinking that all this is crap movie stuff, not practical & left it for the moment.
However, a point stated by Ranchordas seemed very true for an Engineer who spent his 6 years (12th in PCM and 4 years in BE) in science and engineering, then did MBA and now working for a financial organization. Then why did he go for engineering, he must have opted for some business or finance course.
I felt myself in a miserable situation post movie. There I felt like an IDIOT. In those days I was preparing for !@#$ and was supposed to hit the D-Day after a month. At that point of time it was very crucial for me to find an apt reply to relax my inner mind. It was really important for me to analyze whether this is really idiotic?
I gave a flashback into my 4 years of campus life and concentrated that what actually i learnt and embraced there. The fact is in those precious 4 years I didn’t learn only the technical stuff but also professionalism. I honed my analytical skills, aptitude level, reasonability and many other innumerable attributes of myself, all of which are vital to be a successful professional and an executive. In short, I got a professional charisma which i might not get in any other graduate course. Hm! I really miss those wonderful days.
Then, I explored my relation with my technical job of a core network engineer. Here again I discovered that I am more inclined towards learning the soft skills rather than technical ones, although I have to learn this shit techy stuff to sustain into the job and to have useless quantitative work ex. (though m performing well in tech. arena, so duno under estimate me) When I revealed the same to my inner senses, I set a beacon there in and profoundly carried on towards my focal point. So, I proclaimed that I am not an IDIOT, are u?

A very vaid point raised by you when someone does a B.tech then goes for a Management degree is something collision of interest or just moving with crowd which offers good opportunity and money. Throughout from school days to colg days and then in our working life we are always more inclined to soft skills and the person with better soft skill has a edge over others. But as a person who is interested in technical work will learn about the basics and willtry to progress in technical feild.. It just depend on the person's own liking. Its just that the things we like we tend to learn more of them from our surrounding. And to pursue our likings we need a free enviroment...
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Aseem bhai. I too would say that four years of engineering were not absolutely about learning the technical stuff but it was more about picking up an attitude & approach.
