In the end, we hope that you say "Our car is not bekar", concluded Chandra after our presentation on our Concept car for a contest by SAE, IIT Roorkee chapter, in the second year of B.Tech. We had put in about 3 nights putting together our design. Prof Gakkhar announced a few minutes later that the first prize went to the 'certainly not bekar car'. Memories still bring a smile to my face.
That was 7 years ago. Times have changed. So much is different now. The carefree students of engineering 7 years ago are a bit seasoned with the life of the corporate and are almost entering the second phase of their lives. Chandra graduated from India's top business school, ranked 20th in the world then and begged one of the coveted jobs in consulting. Today he is the director of his own publishing house, is engaged to a pretty young lady and the couple are soon to start their new innings.
Yours truly is the current student at the same business school, now ranked 15th in the world and still exploring his options with jobs and girls, both.
Time just flies by. Today will also be gone before you know it. As I stare gloomily at my laptop reading the course pack for the looming mid term exam, an old thought strikes me - Live like there is no tomorrow.
