Of desperate diodes

Now, I am a proud member of the elite circle of the net freaks: "the bloggers". Unlike my friends, I didn’t have to think a lot for a name for my blog...There it was, clearly carved out in my mind. I would do justice to the name by telling you the long process which culminated in me, a desperate guy, writing a blog.
I was one among the many students who chose engineering because they didn’t give a damn about medicine. The budding electronics engineer that I am, I cannot but think about how I secured a seat in an NIT. After the tenth standard, I decided to try for engineering for the simple reason that I didn’t like biology. That is, between biology and computer, I liked computer science better. For those of you in the dark, we students had only two options: computer or biology...So, I decided I was born to be an engineer since I liked computer science better.
Now, after three semesters of the damn course, I really feel that I could have done something better.....Something which I would have liked to do more.....I can only blame myself for the sorry plight which I have managed to pull myself into.
All said, I feel that the students should be exposed to the various career options long before they finish their schooling, lest they follow the footsteps of desperate fellows like me singing Metallica's "Turn the page":

Here I am, on the road again,

there I am, up on the stage
There I go, playin' star again,
there I go, turn the page.
