It was a day that I will remember throughout my life. I'm already starting to miss my days at Air University. Although I had a real tough time here and things were so difficult but I'll put it to this very University who gave me the courage to stand up to the tough moments and cross the hurdles. It also gave me the knowledge and confidence, my happy and sad moments, my proud and best days to me.
I had always wanted to be a part of Air university, amazed? Its true because of two reasons. First, that my parents always wanted me to do my bachelors in Mechatronics. Although they only had heard the name of this engineering and were not at all familiar with what it is all about. Secondly, two of my elder cousins were already studying at this institute. I still remember the day when I got admission at Air University. It was July 25, 2007. Initially when I had seen the result on the Internet it was "sorry, you could not qualify" but somehow I received the letter informing me that I have been selected.
I passed the admission test for six or seven universities but chose Air University in the end , a decision that I will always be proud of. My first official day at the University was Monday September 3, 2007. I had reached Islamabad on the 29th of August and when the bus drove through the mountains of the capital I knew that my life had changed. I was never a brave enough person, I had never been to any other place alone but things were going to change now. Judging my past that I'm always low on confidence but that day,somehow or the other I was really excited and pumped up for the first day of my university life.
My first semester brought me the best and the worst time of my life for me, good in the sense that I gained a lot of confidence over that period both in the class and overall living my life alone in Islamabad. I enjoyed alot being in the class BEMTS 1C with all the class gelled together and lots of fun during the University time. I did not study much in this semester but was very active. The first half went fine but the later period of my semester was perhaps the worst time of my life so far, and its consequences I'm dealing with even now. My health got worse and I had to go back to Multan for a week or so. Before going I had checked my attendance and It was all above 90% but when I came back after my checkup I was amazed to see that in almost three subjects my attendance was around 50% and there was no chance for it to reach 75% which was the minimum requirement. Thanks to the Coordinator who displayed the wrong attendance before I went to Multan.
Anyways, I remember that when I first reached the hostel where I had to stay and my first night there when the seniors took me to their room for ragging and I was made to speak everything in Urdu but I made many mistakes and had to pay the fine of 700 rupees. My next ragging was by my room mate and It was a good one when he brought loads of things and made me to eat and drink them and I did that gladly.Change person in the university, but in the hostel I was still the quiet boy that I have always been tagged to be. My hostel name was The Boys Hostel and If not in the start, I had some of the best moments of my life in Islamabad there.
I was fortunate enough to get some really nice Professors at Air University and that is the one great speciality of Air University. The first ever class I attended here was of Computer Programming C++, and my teacher was Sir Khurram Javed who later turned out to be one of my all time favorite teachers. He was really strict about the rules he had set on the first day and never, not even once did he showed any flexibility and that was the thing I like about him the most. He was simple, efficient strict and yet nice, just like an extraordinary professor should be. He left the university next semester due to the internal politics of the University and that was really sad to know.
My Calculus I' professor was Dr Tasnim Shah and he really is a teacher worthy of respect, he helped me though the difficult times that were to come in the next few semesters and I shall always be thankful to him for everything he has done for me. My next Calculus in the same semester was Mr. Muhammad Ali (baja), the first day he came to our class we could stop laughing after hearing his voice but he later turned out to be my biggest enemy. No doubt he was an excellent teacher and he had to lose his job just because of what he did to me and I still don't feel good about it. Our Physics Mam' Saima and she was a very nice teacher who once again helped the rejoining student alot even though she was about to leave the University she was so easy to get along with.
I Still remember Nauman Khalid(Don) sitting at the last seat in the conference hall saying that I sit behind because I cannot see the White board from in front. Crossing the chairs just like a child who doesn't even know how to walk and Sheraz Ahmad Abbasi writing Poetry on the white board when Mam' was busy talking to other students. Our communication Skills Mam Nailla Riaz is favorite of each and every student who has studied under her. Workshop technology is by far the least favorite subject of every student of Mechatronics department. Ratta( Akram) is the enemy of all and friend of none,not even himself. Still remember when Umair Nawaz Malik was almost snapped by the lathe machine that enenthough Zeeshan Hussnain was the one who saved him, Ratta did nothing still he made himself a hero.
My first and Best frriend at Air University was Raheel Abbas and I really enjoyed his company in the first semester. At the end of the semester I was dismissed from the University and with me many other students, although my story at Air University continued after that there were some of them who left our class. Talha Bin Saeed, Yousaf Khan, Usman (Rocky) and Zeeshan Sajid (Arnold) were a few I remember.
