The day I wrote my entrance tests, (read screwed up: P) for engineering and medicine, I decided I would be doing my BCA. Not a tough decision to make, considering I live in the ‘era’ where every second youngster is studying to be an engineer and well, I live in Karnataka! Do I need any more reasons? Oh yes, I was truly interested too: P
That reminds me of a PJ …. Throw a banana peel in Bangalore, it will either fall on a dog or a software engineer, obviously :)
Hum .. I wanted to do my BCA in this particular college here at Mangalore, well known and most importantly has a huge campus! I got home the application and thought of submitting it after two days. What’s the hurry i thought (Very like me :)) Well, when I did go back after 2 days, the seats were all sold out. Yeah, I said sold out. They don’t give a damn about marks.
With that I went to SDM, which came 2nd in my list of preference and got my admission ticket. Sadly, it has real small campus. I was quite disappointed and regretted for not having made it sooner to the other college.
Before I knew it, it was time for college! I got to know that a girl living in my neighbourhood, an acquaintance, was going to be my classmate. Quite a relief, I would have some company on the first day of college.
Well, the day went great and there has been no regretting ever since! Days were pure bliss. Classmates were wonderful. Thanks to this college, I met 5 terrific people. Love you lots. Shruthi, sup, sowmi, Vidya, chaithra hope you are reading this. Well they almost never do: P
SDM college is simply the best! Memories are still so fresh. Traditional days, college days, fests and the class wise competitions which everyone was so passionate about… Even after a year, we attend all these functions, never miss them!
Now I realize why we don’t have a send off party for the final year students at SDM. Our principal used to say- U will always remain students of this college. You will never be sent off. It used to sound funny back then, doesn’t any more :)

We both have so much in common. The first half of this story sounded like mine.lol! i screwed up my entrance( both engineering and medical!). Decided to take up BCA and was looking forward to join the same reputed college with huge campus(No price for guessing which college it is!). It was too late to make it to there. Finally ended up being admitted to SDM for BCA. At first i blamed myself for not achieving whatever target i had set for myself,cursing my fate for not getting into that college. But now, I'm happy about how everything went. And I'm glad that i neither took up engineering nor medical!
yeah .. SDM rocks :)
