OENA

Frankly speaking, the first expression that came into my head on hearing that I had received "Ocean Engineering & Naval Architecture" in IIT Kharagpur after writing the nerve-wrecking entrance exam [IIT-JEE] was "WTF?"


Little did I know what the word is going to mean to me in coming months and how it changed from WTF to WOW. [No, I am not talking about World of Warcraft]


Admitted that Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture is just a fancy name for Ship Building, but I couldn't have a got a better amalgamation of everything I wanted to experiment in this world. Physics and Mechanics had always captured my imagination.


And how can anyone not humble at the sheer size of the mighty ocean?


The transition, all started, as soon as I started Googling [ya, funny how that is turning into a verb, huh?].  This is the article that finally turned me : Wikipedia Article

Believe it or not, the idea of building a vessel that would be a city on water, greatly inspired me to understand what I am doing. At present, though my grades may not be up to the mark, the understanding I am gaining through my classes is something I cherish above others.

And yeah, I am planning to get that onto my arm soon :P
