College life was very hectic, with lectures starting at 8.30 in the morning. I used to take the BEST bus to Chembur. The journey time was around 30 minutes back then, but in today’s traffic it would probably take more than an hour. We all dreaded Engineering Mechanics, which was a tough subject. The results from the University of Mumbai would take six months to be announced, so that was a stressful period for us. While classes were challenging, it was also a bonding time with my batch mates. By the time I reached my final year, I had a group of close friends. I am proud to say I am still in touch with many of them, both socially and professionally. One of them is my line manager today!

Think differently and add value to what you are doing. Start figuring out what exactly you are looking for in the future. That will make it easier for you to make decisions after leaving college.
