Is this The Beginning or The End?

Being a B.Tech graduate from iit madras hasn't really given me what I wanted. To start with, I wanted to become a cricketer and as usual, never got the nod from my father (Mother was most of the times worried about my health and not about my acads or other professional things). I would not want to write much about my 11th and 12th life or my JEE preparation here, as it would take away much of the space. Then came my JEE counselling. I had a decent rank, with which I could have got into a decent branch from any of the iits. But then there comes the parental love or what you would want to call it as. My mom never wanted me to go to any other iit other than iit madras, just because it is the closest iit to my place. Not even iit kgp was ok for my mom, which is equally distant from my home place as iit madras. The reason this time being the food that one gets in bong land. And then what is my father's reasoning to make sure I write down iit m as the first option in y counselling. Well he was like, iit b or iit d would not really make life easier for me as the life-style there is quite different. Finally I ended up with elec. bracnh in iitm, which is supposed to b a night-mare for many ex-iitians.

I had a good 4 years stay at iitm, barring few of the academic shocks that gave me the taste of real tough life. I ended up as a seven point someone finally at the end of my four years BTech, majority of which came from Math courses. I think I will write a separate post on Math and my experience with it throughout my life. I still could not resist my liking towards cricket, as I had cricket contributing to most the downfall of my cgpa.

To add to all of this, I wanted to go for Applied Mathematics course at iitm. But then I did not have enough courage to go for it, as I was one among the other people who tend to go with the trend and not according to his/her likings.

So, at the end of four years, I am a BTech grad from iitm with an elec degree. But then what is the use? I dont have most of the elec fundaes with me now, as it is seriously not what I wanted or what I should have gone for! So who should be blamed? Me or my parents or is this something that happens with every iitian or nitian or any other engg. grad?? Answer to me seems to be all of the above!
