Real Inspiration after a Decade of being an Engineer!

Well let me rewind back to exactly a decade and 3 days, i.e. Sept 15th 1997! It was officially my last day @ SJCE, Mysore! The 4 years (93-97) went like a flier with only focus on passing out of Engineering College and live upto dreams of a typical Indian Middle-Class Parents! Initially the focus was to fare well wrt Marks Sheet in every Internal and Semester Exam! After 3rd semester results, the focus shifted to just clearing the semester exams! On Sept 15 1997, after the External Viva I felt I did IT! But wasnot sure, what future was in-store! I wasnot even sure what significance Sept 15 had till a decade later i.e. Sept 18 2007 until I read this article!

I thank Bala for this forward. Always, I use to look at West Technology Geeks for the inspiration! The article beside is a brief consolidated information of a Simple Man who has so many credits to himself. We need to be gratitude for this great man! Without his vision and seeds for the same we might not have had the so called Great Professional Lives!

If you donot understand the beside Script, you can access this link which is not a translation but brief info about Bharat Ratna Sir MV!

I guess apart from naming the Colleges, Universities on the Great Man, the Government (rather University / College) has to give a Short Biography of Sir MV for every graduating Engineer! But that might dilute the value of the book. :)) As most of graduating engineers (including us) donot attend the Graduation Day functions, I guess a 5-minute talk on Sir MV during the Valedictory Function would be a good tribute and set standards or inspiration for some percentage of Serious Engineering Profession Seekers. I guess the accomplishments would be definite inspiration for Technopreneurs!

Sept 15 is BharatRatna Sir MV's Birthday which is officially Engineer's Day as a mark of respect to the great MAN!

Isnt it a great feeling having graduated on a Engineer's Day? Though realised a decade later, I am completely THRILLED!
