KIT Second year

Here I am back yet again to continue writing about my life at college

The first year went by and I made some really good friends with ragging over people started trusting each other a bit more, those little arguments over nothing, those gossips at tea stalls, the weekends visits to KC were all so much fun.

In my first year I thought I would be ragging my juniors a lot but as things are we didn't have many juniors and at the end of it I was not even in the mood for it.

Studies in second year took a back seat and fun took the driver's. We enjoyed a lot there were lot of things that kept on happening. The cricket matches everyday evening and weekends kept us fresh and away from boredom.

The eventful thing of the second year has to be the organisation of freshers party for our juniors. It took a lot there was some misunderstanding with the seniors and there was a large rift and it seemed quite possible that seniors may not even join in the party. However in the end everything was sorted out and it was done in a grand was. We also got our internals postponed for the same, thanks to the awesome mechanical engineering faculty.

The days went on and it was year end and to our surprise we didn't even want to go home. It seemed the college and hostel became our shell. It became a place where we found peace and solace. It was a place where I felt free from the burden of life (realized at a later stage in Life).

I got my first and only backlog in this year and that too in a paper I was very confident so much that I came out in 2.5 hrs only and thought I am going to pass easily but thanks to the magical marking scheme of VTU(Very Tough University) the results were a shock to most of us as more than 2/3 of the class flunked.
The effort it took for giving and preparing for three papers back to back was nothing short of Herculean and left me drained. The more the degree progressed the more laid back and stress free we became in life.
We felt like kings with nothing to worry about.

This was also the time when I started reading a lot, I started reading anything and everything I can get my hands onto and this habit was something that has helped me a lot improving my vocabulary, reading speed, appreciation of language and not to mention the comfort level with the language.

This year also I went with the football team for VTU Bangalore Zone tournament and again we got a drubbing against a not very good team thanks to some sloppy display by my seniors.

Finally time came for the last exam of the 2nd year and to go home.
