Dry wells: an autobiographical account of a petroleum engineer

I was standing in the que for the varsity medical examination unaware of the future (mis) adventures and dreaming about the life ahead when suddenly my turn came and I passed the medical examination.

Every student aspires to get an admission in a prestigious institution, but in his obsession to get admitted to a university he/she fails to assess the value of the discipline of his choice. I selected Petroleum Engineering as my father wished me to opt for it. It is different from other disciplines and usually unrelated to them.

No one says that Nazi rivals committed all those crimes that were committed by them d...
