... and the Story Begins !!

Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah,

Though the story had first started when I was in my 2nd year, because that is the time when we were young and Innocent enough to believe the Seniors and their stories of FYP.

It used to sound so Attractive to our ears then, Did I say we were Innocent? Make that "Dumb".

Thanks to our seniors for introducing the "Term" to us, it didn't come to us as a Shock, when we finally stepped into our Final Year. Only if we'd thought about it right from the 2nd year, deciding "What to Make?" and "How to Make?" wouldn't have been such a difficult task.

Four months have passed already, since my Semester started. I, realizing the Importance of the FYP, not wasting a single day, bugging all the teachers around, and dragging my only group mate along DID come to one conclusion: "This is REALLY not something Easy" :P

To make Long story Short, We got an "IDEA" and a "SUPERVISOR" to start our work with, after maybe a Month's hard work.

We gave a Name to our Project Idea: " Crime Forecasting System". The Attractive it sounded, the Difficult it turned out to be. Only realized it, when we Finalized it.

Teachers were happy, Parents were Worried... and My friends STILL think I am crazy to opt such a difficult project. Though I sometimes doubt my abilities and think about changing the project, but then:

" Unless a man undertakes more than he possibly can do, he will never do all that he can." [Henry Drummond]


Moreover, with Allah's help always with you, and the Prayers of your elders, You'd be stupid not to believe in yourself and not taking the path of your choice, no matter how difficult and full of hardships it is.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." [Mark Twain]
