Transition

Rakesh Patel



Life obviously doesn't follow every footstep of the path you have dreamt of. But no one can deny the happy feeling of dreaming and creating such ways. The fun of planning and dreaming have their own space in life. Weather they come true or not, every dream is like a special child conceived by our heart and brain. I had dreamt of being an Engineer - Electronics and Communication Engineer, to be specific. I wombed that dream for four years in me and felt the taste of salty water rolling over my cheek the day I was announced professional electronics engineer by handling the most priced possessive Electronics degree. I loved electronics, fell in love with it at teenage and still get goose bumps when it comes across me.

But as I said, Life sometimes decides its own path. We have to follow it absolutely as a obedient follower. Making best out of the given path is the only way to show our courage towards life. Sometimes I feel professional life is as similar as our personal relationships (Gf-Bf types!). I am in love with electronics and living life as an electrical engineer. But as they say, "man ka ho toh accha, man ka na ho toh aur bhi accha". This doesn't mean that I have similar personal life. I am pretty happy with where I am and what I Have. The realisation of this transition occurred to me when I encounter my old girlfriend, my love, electronics during one of the training courses at my work. The small portion of digital signal processing turned me on. Felt like your love just touched your soul. I have no complain being an electrical engineer-after all this is my ex's cousin and the "Given one". But If i won't write about my love toward electronics engineering and the transition now, probably I never will.

The 18 months work as an electrical engineer has obviously made me the one. In addition, the 5 days Mechanical Diagnostic Course made me half mechanical engineer. It literally is vibrating transition. There was so much of Mechanical vibration analysis in the course. But it became bearable because of the glimpse of my lovely electronics in the course. So the transition has taken place- from Electronics to Electrical to bit of mechanical but I do miss and adore my ex girlfriend ;)...
