Expect the unexpected ...

Thought of going a lil bit offbeat to call life's philosophy to be "Expect the Unexpected".. Sounds a lil bit confusing but its true all the same..atleast in my case...!! :)

Starting off.. I had applied for a couple of Australian Universities, One of which is UQ - Masters in Telecom & Networking by Research and the other one being the current one i'm studying in.. As soon as i saw the word 'Research' i refused it cuz padikarathe periya vishiyam ithula research vaera oru kaedu..:)

I picked this one cuz there was no research involved and all u had to do was do the units and do a project.. At this point, I got my project which is a new technology in Subsea Installation so its goin to be purely research !! *Enna koduma sir ithu*.. I got what i really hated!..Apart from this I decided on specialising in Petroleum Engg at first for the sole reason that Offshore Engg involved mathematical modelling and DSP concepts ! ( DSP was another subject I hated the most in Under-Grad for obvious reasons !).. Enna panrathu I had to take offshore for 2 reasons..One of them being that Subsea, which was the only line related to Instrumentation required an Offshore Engg background *Enna koduma sir ithu, again* and secondly there was only 1 supervisior for Petroleum in my Univ and none of them have got jobs as yet !

So here I am, in Offshore Engineering, doing mathematic modelling using Wave theory and Stokes Theory..Apart from that I got a teaching job like i mentioned before and I could find students firing me with doubts, sleeping, talking, getting up in the middle of the class and leaving et al.. Ithu ellam naanum pannum bothu enaku puriyalaye?!..Now i feel how our "ANNAMALAI UNIV" ME graduate exchange program staff would ve felt the same way..So frm now onwards I will NEVER tease our UG lecturers..EVER
( Jus kidding :P)!
