10 Exams Back to Back = No Back!
(FYI: This post was supposed to be up exactly 10 days ago...but may life screw all who distracted me.)I thought Engineering was the pits.... and MBA would be a breeze....after all ...how much can anybody train you to ...HOW toBLAB away to glory...in STYLE! (i respectfully rephrase...its more than just blab....its corporate blab)
But who knew ... MBA exams are much more shittier than any other!!! 10 exams in a row!!! Without a chutti...crap...is this a test of skills and knowledge ..or just another test of how much u can upload and download in 24 hours!!!But we took it with a pinch of salt...Confronted the situation HEAD-ON!!! Dont enquire about the after-effects...it was bloody and lotsa crap in the paper ...but bygones are bygones!Who am i kiddin...chutti or no...i always manage to put myself in the last moment quandary ... like staying up till 4am...getting up at 6am...rarely good enuff to revise everything before i enter the torture room!!! (Thankfully... all hell breaks lose ...Angelic/Thinking Caps Out ...Devil/Referring Caps In....and the torture room becomes a group discussion room eventually.... which is a different topic altogether.)And in tht two hours of sleep ... (Oxford dictionary wud call that a JOKE)... all possible infamous nightmares come n go... im sure many have had them:1) Studying the wrong subject2) Forget to turn the Alarm from 6pm to 6 am...hence OverSleep.3) Black OUT...dimaag ki batti bhuj gayi.4) If i dont see it 1 more time...im dead sure tht i wont recollect it.So im extra disturbed in tht miniature nap ....and extra attentive ...with my ears like dogs ....sleepingto wake up ! (somebody smiling?) And the worst is... this happens even if i have a chutti for a paper. Do all the possible timepass and So-Called-RnD for the paper...but start studying only 12 hours before the paper begins!!!! And i question myself... WHY...WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF!!! how can i possibly do this to myself....yeh Garmi time pe kyu nahi chadhti????I guess..my answers r simpler to predict... Im the last moment kinda person...i perform my BEST under pressure... i understand faster n clearer the night before the exam....even if ive read the same thing 10times earlier...and its has been bouncer all the 10times!!! do i see many heads nodding in syncro??At the end of every exam...a common resolution echoes... I SHALL BE BETTER PREPARED NEXT TIME...But im hell bent on promoting the hindi adage ...Kutte ki Dumm...Tedhi ki Tedhi rahegi...
He Came, He Saw, He Con...'ed!!!
This post is in loving memory of my beloved Phone...which was flicked on 10th November'2006, 11:15Am....outside my college...from right UNDER MY NOSE!!! The final moments with my phone were as follows: (Watch And Learn)--> I was at the print out waala...to take....well... print-outs (DUH!)--> As usual... i had the phone and my wallet in my hand...and kept it on the keyborad of the comp i was working on.--> A decently dressed young man entered the shop (Mother of Confusion here... the shopkeeper thought he came to see us ..so he let him in. And we thought he works for the shop ..so we let him be)--> He kept a book on the keyboard..and a paper saying " He was dumb and was collecting funds for survival..pls donate and register". We realised he was begging and respectfully declined!--> And he simply walked off... with MY PHONE from under the book.Then all that Jazz... got my buddy(Thank u) to block my number...went to the police station where they interrogated the shop owner and proved that he was an ASS .and the Ass was made to pay me some Moolah ....50% of the market price of my phone (Nokia 6260). Talk about Instant Justice. Supposedly ...NOBODY ever gets instant compensation for LOST property.... which is also partially cuz of my negligence!(craaaapp... im accepting my fault.....i MUST BE DEPRESSED)I dint realise....when my Gujju Friend Rashi ( need i say more) initiated the Compensation Talk...when the Inspector took it from there...and in 15 mins ....LO BEHOLD... easiest 5000 bux EVER!!!!!Now y am i being so Touchy about this phone!!! About a Phone which i have simply under-utulised for the past 1.5 years!!! im feeling bad about losing a phone having the features i have NEVER used???? Why Lord Why!!!My favourite mode..Retrospection!!!! the reason its pricking me so much... is cuz its my Bozo Brothers 1st gift after he got his KICK ASS job... and im DAAAAAAAAAAM touchy about gifts ( yeaa yeaa... im 1 of the people who keep gift wrappers et all..... NOT FOR REUSE....mind it!).Also...the phone was My watch...My Reminder(which Lord knows ... I NEED)...My Alarm....My Calculator....My Notepad ...and all other trivial stuff....which i had got sooo used to... that now i feel handicapped.I frankly miss it... i feel its still ringing at some corner of my house!! i miss how it used to fall off the bed while ringing+vibrating!!!May its Battery Rest in Peace! And May LIGHTNING STRIKE THE BUGGER!!!PS: Which phone should i buy... pls feel free to suggest!!!!!
Exams comin up....and NO XEROX???????
This has almost never happened for the 8 semesters of Engineering!!!! Unless one doesnt xerox and study from kerosene-scented papers ... ur not CONVOCATED as an engineer!!!
im assuming...that the amount ive spent on xerox in those 4 years... i cudve afforded a daaamned black market seat in SP or something!
Dunno about others... but i shudve been called ... ANALYSE-ENGINEER!! i was sooo good at analyzing previous question papers... i could almost predict 80% of my questions!!! and if none of those came... then Ram Bharose!! And all this hitrates...even without having a single library book!!Now in MBA... no xerox ...no notes...no NOTHING!!!! no telling the xerox waala...bhaiiyyaa..200 page iska...500 page uska...and sabka 3 copies!!! Everytime i see my patent xeroxwala... i feel like giving him some money... u know...BAD HABITS DIE HARD!!! and no xerox...so no Raddi!! no raddi...no pocket money!!!!maaan...its a cumalative effect... also called AVALANCHE BREAKDOWN ( dont ask me wht it was... i dont remember it myself)
Exams without study leave and xeroxed notes are like.... Exams ( i guess.... too tired and sleepy to think of Puns)Dunno if ill have the mental balance to blog till this torment is over...so cya around!
