On the first day of college, the mixed feeling of excitement and nervousness, new friends, new company, new group, new faces and I should mention the new taste of food and of course the air.
While sitting in the AV room, shook hands with a few and made weird faces for some and as principal ma’am arrived we all stood up and greeted her, in return all we new student expected a boring speech but no, the principal seems to be cool and after introducing herself and other faculty she came to the point, “JUGAAD”. Yes! She explained strongly the destination of competition and surviving in a very low keyway.
1st Step
The step is always hard to do but excelling at the very 1st victory at the same time. How can someone forget the 1st step we stepped withholding our parent’s finger. And now we stand, walk, run and jump without any fear. 1st year was the same for all as nobody was knowing what new we are going to learn tomorrow. And yes, that was the time we got addicted to the drug of our life called “coffee”.
Have you ever imagined? We, architects, know all types of coffee, in other terms, you can say the different genres of songs or else different flavors of ice-cream. The faculty literally groomed us in a way as the potter mold his pot, they gave us shape and told us the importance of our features, now it’s time to implement. seniors, the word gives goosebumps sometimes, anyways we got a family, after all, they ragged us all initially (in a funny manner and without any hurtful consent) and used to hug us after when college hours used to end.
Personally a great experience to all the hostilities for showing the different flavors of life, for sharing the different shades of hours. For helping us and yes of course thanks for every “JUGAAD” you made us at the last moment.
Come to Power Over
Hectic schedules taught us many things we never got prepared for. Such a life-changing year, here we got a responsibility to juniors for giving the same treatment and environment we got earlier. If we talk about growing it’s a 2-way process: learning and practicing, keeping the patience, from hand drafting to printouts, the heights of patience got us on a different level. Late night chats with late-night submission second taught a mystery of living not everyone knew. Seniors got busy, juniors started worrying and here we got stuck in between.
The kind of maturity we understood in college years is a treasure one cannot share. Then it comes to college fest, finally a week off from the busy schedule, but still hectic. Okay! Festivity is more hectic but the best part is we create a memory in very little time. One week seriously just one week but hundreds of incidents and thousands of memories. Well, let’s talk about the college crush and having a look in traditional attire.
Come on everyone thinks of proposing the one of their life be it a faculty also (just kidding). Who can forget the sports day? Exactly a few days we were tired and lame and saw the whole college got surprised looking at the performance, stamina, and body too. Even after attending family functions, the whole year college DJ or sandal gives hype of different levels. Everyone has to groove on it, and the vibes are mesmerizing.
3rd wheel
Being in a situation feels so drastically devastated, already the hectic schedule of college plus other life chaos. As we stepped into another year, the challenges started getting more terrifying, overcoming them was getting quite difficult. But the phase of life comes with the sunset as well as sunrise and afternoon is a part of it which we should consider as an experimenting part.
Days, weeks, and months, when the semester ends and we finally jump on the bed of positivity, what else we want in life. Just a relaxing space after tackling all the hurdles and thanks to the people who accompanied us on this journey. The 3rd wheel always comes with 1 pair and 1 individual, this is the phase where we have to choose between the most important thing in our lives, the most difficult decision but anyhow we try our best to get over it.
Remembering the time of site visits, local tour, industrial tour, the most enchanting time, where the whole class got all together, no groupism. There I got the meaning of “sharing is caring” sometimes we have to step out of our comfort zone or we can also walk away from it.
Architecture life ain’t easy. The most stupendous part of this journey was staring at the cutter whole with a suicidal thought but keeping the determination alive because we can do and we will do.
