”Sree Buddha college of engineering”
named after the great Buddha….is in fact a home away from home for me…..i don’t know whether the hostlers agree with me….((I don’t find any reason ….why they don’t….after all,, my ears are always full of the adventures they are having))…but being a day scholar….i am happy that half of my time is spent in this great institution……..our college does not have a list of great famous personnel who have passed out…in fact this college was established in 2002….yeah…my college is in its infancy…..yet it has outgrown itself by all means in this small span……it has the innocence of a child ,,the willpower of a winner and the perseverance that is ever lasting…
Each day to the college begins with our favorite college bus journey….its an experience…..with all the hungama…all the teasing that we enjoy….right from the barding point in the morning back to the same every evening((there is no break for the ever rolling tongues…..it has no shortage for fuel in all seasons ))….the mood in the bus sets the day……..if its jovial…the day will be full of fun,…if its dull….then the day is just not worth mentioning…..most of us have graduated in the art of doing homework and writing records in a bus that is running through the smooth roads of Kerala….in fact we should be given awards for these dare devil stunts……it is in the bus that we study our daily portions….hoping and not forgetting to pray to all the deities in the temples along the way that at least for that day just make me a stranger to imposition…..
The first glimpse at the college ,when we start the downhill ride, is breathtaking….
Each day , the sun provides a different treat for eyes…surrounded by mountains and water…its indeed a heaven…..an adequate place …suitable to be our temple of learning.
As soon as we set our feet on the ground….the mad rush starts….every day is a new day for us…there is that usual “hellos,” ”hi”, ”good morning” ..i always wonder how we always have these never ending tales and discussions…..we are indeed great thinkers and philosophers…..the writings in our benches often remind us that we are the followers of a great bunch of “SBCEians”……
The classes begin for the day with a prayer…the only time the college is really quiet is when the prayer song echoes out through each and every inch of the college…then the daily chores begin….the tedious lectures…of course .the 6 hours of classes can be classified as follows..((I am an engineering student…so I am good at this classification)).
1) hour that really carries us into unknown lands…((we call that class dreaming hours))…
2) hour that really teaches us the meaning of thirst for knowledge..
3) hour that constantly drag our attention to our lunch boxes…that really boosts our hunger
4) hour that I can really see the different postures of sleeping and yawning…its just a habit to say good night ….even in the broad daylight…
5) hour that all the students engross themselves in extra curricular activities…((throwing paperballs ,,drawing caricature..,, singing)).we should be all-rounders…of course there are some who sit like nothing matters…”.i am studying” ….
6)hours that see us sweating in the labs…”was that sulphuric acid??? ” “oh my god, .i have just found out a new compound”..”Dont worry yaar….u’ll be nominated for the Nobel prize this year….”…these occasional outbursts cannot be subdued inspite of the constant keep silence in lab warnings.on an on goes these conversations…with the ocassional breakin test tube activities……
The intervals we get in between is the time for studies…or else we will be the proud recipients of imposition awards……then the lunch break is the real break…..when all the students sit together sharing the food……..the perfect example of unity in diversity….its so easy to open the mouth simultaneously for food and talking…it is an art mastered after years of hard work…
As the bell rings…signifying the end of the day’s work….all rush out with their bags…running towards the bus….oho….we are not going to leave the college that easily…infact some are going to be seated around the trees meeting their friends in other departments…while some are running to the canteen.. its now the time for treats….”your neighbour bought a new dog ..right….where is the treat…..????” its your sisters friends birthday…..lets order 5 ice creams” on an on goes this saga of treats…..its a do or die situation for the person who has to pay the bill …while the whole group of hungry faces watch the scene with interest….
Its so good to be in the college in the midst of all our friends……….who are always there to tease ,,,encourage,,, support …the teaching faculty who have created a bond with the students…always there to support us and share our joys and sorrows…
The management who have provided us with the best facilities….making sure that each member of the SBCE family is happy….as the day comes to an end…it feels so thankful and gratifying that I am studying in this gem of an institution.
As the the engines of the bus come into life….all go back to their respective bus….with the usual “ byes”, “see you tomorrow”…we all know that we are going to be seeing each other the next day,,,,,,with great anticipation of the coming day and the lots of lesson studied from that day…..tired yet smiling we all have a last look at the college for the day…as the bus leaves the campus…some eyes turn back to devour the college…. to whisper silently “ I love you SBCE…””

Nicely scripted thought. It’s good to know that there are some open pairs of eyes[ref.classification(4)] to watch the sleeping counterparts!!!
