Breaking the ancient orthodox that has made its home in every Indian parents' mind, that only engineering can give you food to eat and a status to live by, the narrator made his point majestically.Īt one point, Wasted In Engineering becomes an inspirational read for those who are thinking of pursuing Engineering, that whether this field is really what they want to devote their life in or is there something else?Īt another level, it describes how Engineering has shattered more lives, time and careers than any other field. The author has successfully portrayed a picture before parents that engineering is not the only stream in which one can become successful. Even parents don't know if they are forcing their child into something that he may not want to do. In order to fulfill the dreams of their parents, everyone plunge into the deep ocean of engineering.

Many of us just graduate with an engineering degree, with an artistic dream in mind. India produces millions of engineering graduates like you and me but only very few of us are actual engineers.
