Engineering nostalgia

Yesterday, as it was a cold & rainy weather, to keep myself busy I just happened to clean the dust fallen on my engineering day books. And as I cleaned them, just flipped thru its pages. I just went back to my college world for a moment.

Transistor - Diode - Zener diode - Resistor - Capacitor - Inductor - Ohm's laws - Kirchoff's laws - Right/left hand rules - Avalance breakdown - pnp/npn - FETs - JFETs - MOSFETs - FIR/IIR filters - OpAmps - MicroProcessor (8086) - Thermistor - Thermocouple - Strain guage - Peizo electric transducers - Fourier Transforms - FFT - DFT - Laplace transforms - Matrices - Integration/Differentiation - Maxima/Minima - Optical Instrumentation - Biomedical Instrumentation - VLSI design - Sine/Cos Wave - Phase shift - Threshold - PID controller - Microcontroller - Stepper motor - AND/OR/NOR/NOT/XOR gates - Digital shift - 555 Timer - OTDR - Encryption/Decryption - Computer Networks - Ring/Star topology - Process control - Frequency response - Log graphs - MATLAB - Keyboard program - CRO - Multimeter - Measurement - Counters - Signals And Systems - DSP - ADSP2181 on which we did our final year project - Project report - etc etc etc..

Wondering all this we studied only to get a B.E degree ?! These are not atall used today, after nearly 4 years of completing engineering.. Now I'm in a public static void main world !

Kyu aaj kal

Kyu aaj kal neend kam kaam zyada hai
Lagta khuda ka koi bura irada hai
Kal tha shehzada aaj dil fakeer hai
Lagta manager ka koi bura irada hai

Kyu mujhe itna kaam hai ya ..?
Aisa kaam mere upar hi aata hai ya ...?
