What a START

What a START!!

A new sun did rise that morning, with new hopes and new dreams, after all it was my first day at God’s own campus, NITIE…

After being mesmerized by the beauty of nature at the NITIE campus, I, along with every single batch-mate of mine, was curious about how the first class, the first day at NITIE would be like!!

And just when we were waiting for our PGDIM journey to begin, we saw a simple and smiling face entering the classroom. A man who has the power to shape careers takes off his slippers and starts throwing toys at us. “What is happening?” was the first question in everyone’s mind.

And then we were introduced to the most amazing professor ever, Dr. MANDI… A man so powerful that he shook our souls, gave us a new thought, the thought to be self-dependent, the thought to make a difference, the thought to live…

With laughter, songs, poems, toys and flying kisses all around, he created an environment where the students themselves wanted to learn, to take whatever little they can from him.

He made us realize what “beggars” we were, asking our parents for feeding us. He made us realize that if we could just earn 1-2% of the Rs.2500/- spent on us daily, we could have a much better sleep and a career that would have no limits with success at our feet.

He did not sit in his chair for a single second. He was everywhere, interacting with every single student. There was a moment when we realized that if we are educated, we must talk like we are, think like we are; and act like we are.

I never thought my life at NITIE would begin like this. No formulae, no definitions, no case study; but the simple principle of a better, improved and organized life. I never thought I would share my experience like this, but Dr. Mandi has made sure that he will inculcate this habit of writing blogs in us, so that we can share the knowledge given at NITIE with the world.

With every passing day, we will be waiting to learn something new from the great minds at NITIE.

Before leaving I would like to share some of the beauties of NITIE…..
