The Dream Land...

By Kumar Sambhav | Roll Number 8647 | Class of 2022

We all long to hear the three magical words from our beloved, in my case the words that did magic to me were… “You are joining from Singapore. Get ready.” A feeling of nervousness and excitement surrounded me. Thermodynamic cycles, annexes of MARPOL and Star-Delta connections started taking rounds of my brain. Port is left, starboard is right…I was reminding myself.

Fast forward 7 months, after going through a lot of firsts in my life…here I am sitting in the Engine Control Room wondering how it was all a dream when the first time I walked down the corridors of the Junior Hostel. Standing in the quadrangle I used to hear stories of sea and now the roles are reversed, now I would be part of the stories of people I am sailing with. So many lessons learnt, memories made which I would be cherishing for life because a first is a first, isn’t it?

But wait a minute, why does this TME rather than tracing the lines or cleaning the bilges has picked up his pen to write an article for the Alumni Magazine?

It is to thank you all for shaping me up. It is to thank you all for making DMET/MERI/IMU-KC whatever it is. It is a tribute to you all, The Techies of Taratala Road . You have enabled us to dream. Everywhere I see, I have someone from our tribe who sits at the top and inspires me…

Thanks for making this institution a Dreamland …Thanks for contributing to the culture of it which has made it a 4-year long life camp.

The best part being the confidence it has instilled in us. The feeling of being a class apart from the rest, and how we fake it till we make it even if we are not. (Let’s be honest, we all do it, some all the time, some when necessary). More than the subject matter taught in the institution, it is the hostel which transformed us.

Every time I ask a question to my seniors here, I have 2 kinds of responses. One type is, trace the lines and find out for yourself. The other type is, providing the plain and simple answer.

In my opinion, for the learning curve to be positive we need both…the push to be not dependent on others while at the same time being provided with the answers.

A balance of comfort and challenges has taken us lightyears ahead. Our premises have not always been in the best state, the facilities have not always been prompt but a lot more than that has been given in the form of hands on experiences, opportunities, celebrations and a worldwide brand to associate ourselves with. All in all, our dreamland has not disappointed us.

For everyone still in college…don’t let the spirit of it die. Don’t let the charm of it fade…you have inherited a legacy, live up to it and don’t stop dreaming… A true DMETian dares to dream. ▄
