being B4A7

so it's out. After a couple of delays and reschedulings and a lot ... a lot of anticipation. I am officially a dualite now, and I'll be getting TWO WHOLE degrees when I pass out of this brilliant place. One Master of Sciences (Honours) in Mathematics, and one Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Computer Science. That's what the codeword B4A7 means, in case you aren't BITSian. Well, to say the least, I am elated and jumping in joy and .... bouncy and frisky and ... all possible good things. A plethora of awesomeness is flowing through me. I feel awesome every minute. Gosh, I never felt so awesome in my life. See, I feel so awesome that I'm even getting my verbs wrong and missed a 'have' in the previous sentence.

*Yipppeee!*

On a more serious note. I pause to reflect. I came so close to not getting it, courtesy my crappy Work Shop grade. A horrendous C. Well, my A in Math saved me.

*yea*

So today I was playing computer games for a change. on *windows* not *Linux* :P

Need For Speed : Most Wanted

And I had a surge of realization. The car I was driving. The silver Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. I had to be that. The city of Rockport ... that was what my life was, and the silver Lancer tearing through the streets at 200 kmph ... was me, surging through it. The cops behind me, were the detractors trying to hold me back, and the general cars on the road, were the obstacles I had to avoid in my ultimate pursuit.

Now that I've an A7 dual (that means a Comp Sci dual) with my B4 (thats the code for Math), most people seem to consider the B4 part useless, with entire focus on A7. Well, I don't. Then what would set me apart from a regular A7 guy? What indeed? Nothing. Does that mean the B4 part is a waste? One MSc honours degree, from an awesome institute, all wasted?

Hence hereby, I pledge to the wide world, that I shall, to the best of my abilities, do all that it takes to ensure that that doesn't happen, that the B4 gains as much importance that A7 does. Shall make regular A7 people repent the fact that they are A7 ...



and not B4A7 .... ;-)

*But no, I m not taking digs at any A7 person. I love most of them! Hell my some of best-est friends are all A7. It's just a personal stand I take today, in order to not waste the awesome MSc degree that I'll get.
