I chose d one less walked upon

"Yes, thats exactly what I said, from ECE, yes sir..."
If I sit and count the number of times I spoke these words in the past four days, it would be just HUMONGOUS...thus, I on the behest of my ex-ECE-batchmates, have decided to give them a piece of my own mind by jotting down the exactitude of the supposed ECE blasphemy I have committed by changing my branch to Civil engineering....

the reaction that I received from almost all elderlies i know was nothing less than an atrocious, unbelieving, unblinking and uncomprehending stare, which signified a vibrant mix of emotions, ranging from disbelief, rendering me light-headed, or rather, barmy-headed is the word, "why-is this-girl here"...some girls actually had the audacity to ask me if I nursed some special feelings for a person from our batch in that branch...as if that fact would be reason enough for taking a decision as surreptitiously major as this...some people think i went there because of the minimum syllabus n maximum free classes in that branch...somehow, no one, absolutely no one except my mom-dad seemed to accept the fact that i developed a certain interest in that branch in my first year...the fact either seemed too flimsy to be believed, or too high-ended to be reasonably justifying their elusion. Mom n Dad were the only two people who seemed to accept the statement in the exact face value of it as i had related it to them. Maybe it was resignation, submission, or simply blatant trust.

Starting from the gatekeeper of the Dean admissions department, the clerk at the semester office, the re-registration doer, the hostel clerk, the endless number of deans, everyone needed explanation, the same reason, the same discussion with alteast 50 people,I am exhausted...n happily looking forward to a rocking career being a CIVIL ENGINEER!!!!
