WHAT I LEARNED FROM A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT

I think that we get disappointed from something when we expect a lot from that particular thing.I learned this only after doing the same...expecting too much from something...and being disappointed when it was not up to my expectations.

Before joining IIT neither i had been to any one of them nor any one from my family had been . So all that i knew about IIT was that IITs are the best technical institutes in India . They really are the best institutes...in terms of both facilities and faculties...but they are the best when compared to other institutes only.

I did not know this then and attached many expectations with IITs . Luckily I got the chance to study in one of these premiere institutes . I joined the institute with great excitement.But the very first impression that the institute had on me was DISAPPOINTMENT . 

There was not only a single thing of disappointment,there were many things which disappointed me.The beginning of this series of disappointments was from my first visit to my hostel room.In the room Floor and  Almirah were covered by colonies of termites .That was very disgusting to see mud scales everywhere .

That was followed by disastrous condition of Bathrooms . There was a single water cooler on my floor and that too fairly far from my room ,this was again a unexpected situation. But the most irritating of all these was the quality of mess food . For the first few days it was almost impossible to swallow the food.

But now I am slowly and slowly recovering from disappointment and trying to adjust to the situation.

After all it is a government institute and I am trying to content myself by the fact that it could not be better than this and above all I have come here to learn.

     

                          Lesson that I learned from this disappointment was:

"Don't expect too much from anything so that it may disappoint you and be strong enough to adjust in unexpected conditions."
