SN's cool assurance!!!

Well..who ever might say what..i have given a damn and will continue to do so..to whomsoever who thinks that he/she made a mistake by opting for civil at nitk...i always knew..and was confirmed today..that it is indeed one of the best departments in the country..(stats show "4th best civil dept in asia"..wow..)...many facts convince my notion...infrastructure(labs and all..which will give a real run even to the iits)..foreign intakes over the years from the dept..the dept's rich history in producing the best civil engineers for the country...100% placement records(ppl left with 3 jobs at times) wen civil counterparts have been gasping for jobs...but the most important and the foremost reason is it's wonderful club of faculty...the rich pedigree clearly highlighted on the board at the entrance...however what strikes me the most is their humility..i haven't seen ppl of this repute this humble anywhere else...i appreciate their professionalism towards every aspect concerned..with the touch of personal flavour...it is just wonderful..hats off to them for managing to do dat so wonderfully..i can think of numerous incidents which gives a picture of them being true gentlemen..but here i would mention today's incident involving SN...well..my association with him..and my appreciation too.. started in first year itself..when he went beyond his powers to help me sort out my college-related issues after my appendix operation..something for which i will always be grateful to him ..now coming back to today...when folks from the class...asked him about placements this year and their concern for the coming year...he not only gave an assurance that it will improve the next time around with an upheaval in industry..but also added..."don't worry..for those who don't get placed sumhow...i will myself get them placed...i have many of my friends holding high posts in various companies.. as well as running flourishing consultancies in major cities"....wow...now...this is wat i was trying to stress..the right combination of professionalism..and personal touch...hats off again to our great alumni-faculty...i will remember this gesture for life time..i will carry this lesson of doing things professionally with a personal touch ..from my alma mater..for the rest of my life..

adios
