Once our respected Prof. Mr M.M.Sameignsithaiya (i.e. M.M.S-Spelling may be wrong) was teaching RCC Design. After delivering lecture he asked "Well now you have learnt a lot. So will you please tell us ,if there is tension in top fiber of concrete(i.e. at cantilever Portion),where the Reinforcement Steel Bars are required to be placed -At top our Bottom? One of our friend (Cool Cool I shall not reveal the name)replied -At bottom sir....Prof. MMS who was a very grave person and never use to laugh or smile in class ,smiled that very day-And told my classmate -Ok then you promise that you will be there in the Building always till it does not collapse. Later on he advised us, if you have mistaken while designing a building, committed a blunder, due to which the Building may collapse, then at least be there in Building, so that if it collapses ,you will not be there to show your face to public. From then and there I decided that I shall not adopt the career of professional Designer. So still I am a construction Engineer/Planner/Do Project monitoring/deal with contractual matters, but never inserted my head in design works in my job. However, one of our senior Mr S.K.,Deokuliar (just one year ahead of our Batch) is Head of Design wing in Mcnally Bharat Engineering Co. Ltd ,working at very high/prestigious position at HO Kolkata. He has designed lot of Buildings, Industrial Structures for Power House. He has been working in Mcnally since last 24 years.........
