NAINA SARDA ETM 4 / 4
Before joining , you think of it as a dream ; after joining you wonder why was it your dream ; and while leaving , you want more this dream ; yes , that is GNITS .
I was from a Convent School where the environment was very strict but we had a lot of exposure to various aspects of self-development . Then Sri Chaitanya happened ; about which I needn ’ t tell anything . After being in these two drastically different academic institutions , I was skeptical how GNITS would be to me . If I have to define the past four years here , I , d tell that it has been the last stroke to sharpen a sword and like the final touch to the icing on cake . Might appear little exaggerated but it did make a lot of things better in my academic life and boosted up my morale to be the „ initiator ; reasons being the several platforms available as opportunities and the encouraging environment . Another fact about GNITS that I considered an advantage was it being a women ’ s college , the opportunities to take up big challenges were higher and therefore boosted up my skills in the ones I volunteered to take up . Since second year , I ’ ve been leading „ Telestorm , the technical club of ETM department . It required me to be a good speaker , organizer , motivator and un-biased person to conduct different events every week . The amount of improvement at a personal level is massive and all thanks to the opportunity . I presented a couple of papers and I realized it all zeroed down to nothing because I uttered what I barely had any clue about . After attending workshops , seminars given by dignitaries , debates and participating in hardware design projects , I realized they helped me more . I also got an opportunity to be a part of Technology Entrepreneurship Program by ISB and it was one of the right choices I ’ d made at GNITS . I had also organized an „ idea-based event during technical fest at GNITS which was new of its kind .
Something that I always found solace in was writing . It began when I came across a book titled „ Unposted Letter by T . T . Rangarajan , the founder of whats now known as „ infinitheism . The book beholds the power of transforming anyones life , just like it did mine . It was never looking back from then . Quotes and inspirational thoughts became like an extended self of mine and if there is someone who ’ s words never fail to fascinate me every single time , it would be the 13th century Persian writer , Jalal addin Rumi . In one of his quotes he mentions , “ Everyone has been made for some particular work and the desire for that work has been put in every heart .” It fills a lot of hope in me when I recall these words when I ’ m at my lowest . Being a part of GNITS gave me easy chances to get a job . But hailing from an Electronics background , I aim to continue in the same field and thus , I plan to appear for GATE examination . I also plan to attempt the AFCAT exam to join the Indian Air Force and a couple of other exams where I have chances to apply for job as an Electronics Engineer . Besides these career choices , I aspire to continue fuelling my core hobbies of writing , gardening and cooking . For all the people reading this , especially the ones younger to me , my only word of suggestion is that when you ’ re struggling in those moods when you lose hope in life or you don ’ t know what you ’ ll become , remember , that everyone has been made for some specific work and the desire for that work has been put in every heart . You only should continue doing what you should be doing without giving up . Just like how you are seeking your dream , your dream is seeking you . I bet that if you put enough faith and focus at the right time and right thing for you , happiness and career would not be two different things from then on . Good luck to all of you , for living a life less ordinary .
