God of small things

When she finished graduation school, she won admission into a mediocre college of engineering for post graduation. It wasn’t the outcome of any serious interest in engineering. Nor even, in fact, of a superficial one. She just happened to have applied to the university, and happened to get through. The staff were impressed by the size (enormous), rather than the originality, of her design ideas and programming skills. The carelessness and recklessness were mistaken for confidence, though in truth, she was no brain.

She spent eight years in college without finishing on a job note.The fees were low and it wasn’t hard to scratch out a living, staying in the hostel,eating in the subsidized student mess, rarely going to class, working instead as a researcher in gloomy university research facility that exploited cheap student labor. The other students, particularly the boys, were intimidated by her waywardness and almost fierce lack of ambition. They left her alone. She was never invited to their nice homes or noisy parties. Even her professors were a little wary of her–her bizarre, impractical design ideas, her lack of enthusiasm to publish papers.

Finally the university along with the research facility lost its patience. She had to pack her bag and go somewhere, certainly not home. The last time she packed her stuffs it was hardly 2 boxes, this time she had got hell a lot of stuff. Most of them were thrown anyway.

It won't be difficult for her to find a living for sure but the life is going to change a lot from what it was.

All the best
