Convocation.....Most awaited moment

After two years of long time gap, last week, we were in college again on the occasion of Convocation ceremony for our batch (2005). Everybody was looking more mature, responsible and importantly more disciplined. Guys, who were always seen in torn jeans and funky t-shirts, were in formals.

Aren't they looking like the top professionals of industry gathered at one place to discuss about some important issue?

Convocation is most awaited by all and the reason is you meet all your friends under the roof where you met them first. You meet your classmates and batch mates to whom you could not meet because after college, some left the town, some left the country and those who still in the same town go early and come late from office. But it does not take time to have fun with them once again

Convocation ceremony started and we all were sitting in convocation hall. Around 200 people sat in black & red rob with pin-drop silence. We were being addressed by top most persons of industry. There was one lesson common in everyone's speech and that is responsibilities towards society. We take so much from the society and when it comes to return to the society, we starts to blame our system. According to Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Indians are the most ethical and disciplined citizens in the world when they are in foreign but when they come to India they don't bother breaking the laws. Vice Chancellor GGSIPU University talked about lack of vision when a youth come out of the college and that is the reason of increasing attrition rate in the industry. While talking about engineer's capability to take quick decision, he gave us an example of two friends who were in forest. Suddenly a lion came in front of them. Both were frightened because they were not prepared for this situation. First person said, to save our life we need to run faster then lion. He asked second person, Do you think we can run faster then lion? Can you guess what he had replied? He replied, I don't need to run faster then lion. I just need to run faster then you.

Finally degree distribution event started and after waiting for a while, I was a graduate from Delhi University.
