Yesterday, I went to my dad’s office, and met his engineer friends. One of his friends and I had a great talk. Here is the piece of that conversation.
Uncle:" So, what is the reason of taking engineering? What is your main goal/aim ?"
Me: "A..........aise hi. There is no such goal or aim. I just want to be an engineer that’s it."
Uncle: "A person never does anything without any reason. Why did you just choose engineering? "
Me: (Still wondering what to say, finally spoke)..."because I had science at my +1 level" : P
Uncle: (He gave a crooked smile. I could make it my answer sounded him really funny) ...Okay, but why engineering? You could have taken BSc , BCA or any other course .
Me: (Tried to find another stupid answer and replied)... "Ya, I could have chosen that but, engineering has got bright future."
Uncle: "What bright future. See I am an engineer and still hammer the nails myself."
Me: (Tried to find the answer and replied as it struck me)..."You may be hammering the nails but you are getting a good package for that." :/
Uncle: (Another unsatisfied smile and switched to another question) ..."So, which branch are you going for?"
Me: Instrumentation (Only question of which I had the answer)
Uncle: What is Instrumentation? (Another mind doodling question for me)
Me :( I tried to recall what others had told me about instrumentation)...”its like...you know instruments we use,” In between he kept his “WHATs “ continuously...and I kept answering that “WHAT “....”its like, the things we use in laboratories , like thermometer, voltmeter. (And finally clueless...) added beaker.
Uncle :( Immediately) Huh!! Beaker has got no relation with Instrumentation. Sir pe maro, beaker tutega, sar futega ,khun bahega and kaam khatam .
Me: I could just make a :P And he started again,”Instrumentation is about controlling....measuring the things which we cannot................
Finally I realized, “Damn, I do not know anything about what I am going to do.” As I returned home, I opened Google, typed Instrumentation and clicked on
Instrumentation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So, this is the start of my engineering. Pheeeeew ;)
