“The value of higher education is to make men aware of what was and what is, to incite them to probe into what might be.” - Otto Keppler
The knowledge acquired in schools and colleges, I believe is not an education, but the means to it. It is this belief that makes me ‘a student to the end of my days’: the obvious direction being curiosity towards exploration.
One of the memories of my childhood I deeply cherish is that of my first day in school. I distinctly remember my eyes watering as my parents bade me good-bye leaving me in an alien environment.
We were made to draw pictures of familiar objects, my teacher recited rhymes in a soothing voice and by the end of the day I began to love school. I was fortunate to have begun with a good early education and as I grew, my interests and ability were inclined towards the physical nature of the universe. Science unraveled many a mystery for me math challenged me and gave me joy. Learning itself became key to my life.
My respect for education and inclination towards applied science drove me to opt for math, physics and chemistry in my higher secondary education. After completing my high school, I felt that
Engineering would be the area, which would give me the opportunity to learn and explore how the fundamentals of science are applied to create technology for practical and real purposes. Moreover, my innate strengths have always been creative abilities and the power of imagination; which made me take up a discipline that would allow me to channel them in the best possible way. Thus,
Mechanical engineering was a direct consequence of my convictions. Subjects like Manufacturing
Process, CAD/CAM, Metal cutting & Machine Tool Engineering, Machine Design, Industrial Management,
Kinematics & Dynamics of Machines, Automotive Engineering, Applied Thermodynamics, Control Systems
Engineering etc..,revealed to me limitless horizons in the field of
