Story of an Engineer-part 1
The story of an Engineer
Post - 1
Some day during my 5th standard i was breaking all toys for those little motors inside and giving a battery power and made it rotate made my dad think I've got engineering brain.. and the same day while i pushed further and plugged in to direct current and got a electric shock. which he didn't see..
So as i was on 12th board exams struggling with all those heavy mugged up subjects , spoke to mom after completing physics paper and cried fearing il get poor marks in physics and that made mom fear nobody will give me engineering seat..
Somehow completed those hard exam days without missing 12th standard trade mark fun and left schoolings.
12th Results are out , my son got such marks , daughter got such marks , what about your son.. dad was questioned everywere , my son got 962 marks replied my dad humbly .. getting that 962 was the greatest achievement I've ever got. Which even now its hard to believe.. but the cut off what I scored around 158 in pcm was’t enough for my dads vision of engineering colleges ,myself being a first son and putting me on a trial run was not first time for them , the fact was even my parents were growing up with me facing this circumstances ,
Putting all my mom's hard earned money and investing it to her son's education was their wise choice and planned for a management quota in a college at pollachi...
Seriously considering i never know wats engineering.. I'm a fellow who runs away of any numericals. And without having any single idea that the entire structure will be on numericals..im now a first year mechanical engineering student..
Hardly remembering i met all my best friend's just when standing out during maths classes , not doing homework aswell not copying notes , as per newton third law I've got the same maths 1 paper as arrear aswell accompanied by physics 1 and chemistry 1 , all three major ones..
Now 'i' will turn 'we' as things are getting plural from now on , nothing big but I've got company nw some got four papers some were washed out and so on., so comparing to them , i was better... subconsciously we were locked in to a race of focusing on arrears that started to add as the semesters flowed , semester by semester few gets cleared few comes up , semester days were another disaster morning a paper and afternoon a paper I've started writting a new theory combining both subjects , once the exam is done brain does a magic slate and rubs out for the next to fill up. mean while those who cleared were able to see a little ahead of engineering like clubs , supra and bagha car modeling , quizz clubs . I'm wondering wats the spelling of quizz and just autocorrected it.. and more of active involvements, atleast they were doing something , happy for those lucky mates .
Then years flew covering friends birthday partys , phone calls ,the first crush , love story , night birthday wishes , bike rides , and with what all experiences that a college could give us.. it was fantastic..
But on ground reality i had 5 arrears pending when I reached final year , a fear crosses every time , while people who was having 7.5 cgpa above was called for interviews , heard 8 above were given dual placements and that's the time i realized the objective of engineering it was marks alone..இத்தன பேப்பர் வச்சிட்டு நா எங்க டா ப்ராஜெக்ட் லா பண்ணுவேன் and im somewere struggling with 3 maths papers and 2 mechanical papers and one day some one called for an interview for all mechanical and automobile engineering students and arrear students were also accepted.. my lifes first interview.. starting with the written exam , I got cleared somehow just with the help of those arrears that was in relationship with me.. sum of 8000 was the initial pay per month , rotational shifts , 500 if full on attendance and free room stay was mentioned.. hearing this , boys gave a hard look and quoted is this why we did engineering and payed lacs together for getting a salary of 8000 per month and left the spot..
Few stayed are those arrear boys for sure.. including me as well some of my friends having no idea abt placements and packages.. then a face to face interview. And then they selected all those who stayed and That legend company was sakthi auto components.. at Pallagoundenpalayam , perundurai , we were 35 who got selected..
As of nw even i got selected in campus.. calling all family and friends and informing them.. proud for what. But proud anyway.. coz dad was proud.. handling staffs troll was another part after telling we got placed, later got in final year end semester clearing 2 of my arrear paper and those left out for the last attempt were 3 papers were m1 , m3 and Thermal..Then the closure of college days involved lots of missing and cherishing moments the best emotional stage of a students lifes and engineering college does it better , no matter how odd the college days might go , but in the end everything will look good. Packed out of hostel and we usually leave with heavy hearts.
Back home after 4 long years I could say a 12 long years of hostel student , completely modified and fit for whats actually designed in ones life..
As per the offer letter on June 3rd 2013 we joined sakthi auto components a strength of 24 fresh graduates entering in to job.. imagination of my mom was overwhelming as im going on a campus selection but she was happy though , with a ever smiling face..
We joined not just us but one among 100 graduates entering in sakthi every day..
One good thing that was happening was we all were together..!!
We entered in the first day. With all those chills of entering in to working field..
All 24 were with the hundreds were standing in the gate for being called to split departments, Quality and Production.. were the only two open departments , you just need to choose .
Hearing some murmuring of our mates abt all working together in quality coz that was easy comparing to production work. But those times I was hyper enough to take production and with me 4 got in production too.. As the siren sound rings we have to be in our respective machines..
Machine operator was my first job.. near to me a girl was standing to her machine a little happiness prevailed.. and continued with my work of changing casting pieces , checking the dimensions and get it machined checking it again.. 8 hrs of works 120pieces target with extra time , returning back room that they provided splitting a entire marriage hall In to several number of rooms with common bathrooms in all these hard setup there was a relaxing feel that we are sleeping and waking up together, aswell working , eating the food provided at sakthi , fighting for evening snacks , doing all that we were doing in college days .
Each one of us suffered this change over , physically as well as mentally too.
Some of us started absconding couldn’t really prepared for this. But yet few survived for the first month . mean while I prepared for my arrear exam too..that came on the end of june..
That was the first time ever I really did a dedicated study with the help of one of my senior who was also having those maths papers.. the results came in the end somehow managed to get the first class grade in mechanical engineering ..ooff over with graduation..
Finally gave a chance for my dad and mom to see me on stage getting my ceritificate..
Miracles do happen
------------End of part 1--------
The experience of sakthi (sacl) will be continued in next post
Thanks for taking your time in reading this long story guys..
Love u all ..<3

| OUR 2013 MECHANICAL BATCH |

Memories are the only one we can take it with us how long we go.i think u made it as soo beautifully 👍, upart from soo many, That one thing come in mind first, wen I think of name prithiv is the smiling face and the hugging hands.
