CHAPTER 1 June : The Stepping Stone...
Most of the kids born in the Indian society has a dream either to become an
Engineer or a doctor. And such dreams always come true only if you have a good
score in the entrance exams. If you want any undergraduate degree you have to
pass through these exams. Ragav always had a goal to become a Engineer just
like his family members. He wished to become a Marine Engineer as he was
attracted to fame and wealth in Marine industry.
After the hard working
for the entrance exam at his coaching class and putting all the efforts to the middle
of paddle the day arrived. The Result day! The whole family was eager to know
the score of their boy and all his efforts. With everyone’s eyes dilated with
the tension building up the score flashed on the computer screen “96/200”.
Only Ragav and his father knew the reality of the result. At that instance
father said “Son your results are very poor to get a mechanical/marine branch.
I don’t even know whether you will get a good Engineering College... have you
seen the cutoffs of best colleges... blah... blah...blah” this was very similar
like Japanese bombarded the Pearl Harbor in WW2. In between the full bombarding
the other person who influenced his life was his elder sister Reema arrived to
rescue him. She said “Father it’s better that he should go for Information
Technology branch, with this score he can get a good college ". She was
working with top MNC and also completed her degree from one of the reputed
college in University. With the valuable suggestion at that time and also
without any options on the way ahead in his life he chose to become a software
engineer. It was really hard for Ragav to accept the reality but humans are
really adaptable to any situations just like the Theory of Adaptation.
After the weeks of mock rounds fortunately and finally Ragav got the
admission to KITs Engineering College for I.T branch which was considered as
best college in south western part of Maharshtra.
Happiness filled in family about the son’s admission at Engineer college no
one knew about the hurdles and mountains he has to climb ahead...
