Engineers at work B4 EXAMS...

N.B -- This is a part imaginative theory. It has no link with real tym environment. only few last lines are perfectly true. take this on  a light note.

The mid semester exams started few days back. My friends as usual wouldn’t take dinner this week. This is a part of their preparation strategy. As the midnight oil would be burned for writing tidbits of notes on papers (chutka). They would take their seats a couple of hours before the exam with their totalitarian regime.

Exam begins at 2 ‘O’ clock & the lunch is served AT 11.50. They can’t resist till then even.

The real work would begin then in classroom, the revision on the table that holds their roll number. Some would revise for longest stretch of study hours of their lifetime of 1.5 hours.

 Revision implies writing on the desk, wall, pillars, blackboard, beneath their butt on table

( so that its easyily erasable… HOW ? BY shaking the ass). The first 8 feet on pillar is already filled so now they would stand on the desk and write above that to have a better view during the course of exam. I could state this that the time is not far when they would be using the ceiling for the purpose.

Some would preserve their tidbits for end semester so that they won’t have to work again.

Last semester innovators introduced technology in their work. As they didn’t had the book of AUTOMOBILE ENGG with them. So a laptop was used for pasting down the notes from E BOOK (2 hours before exam). Some would carry 2 calculators with themselves. A few would take the drawing board along with them to the exam hall, so that to bring it along with whole syllabus inscribed on it. Some GOOGLING & MESSAGING is always used. For sure googling is only used by 1 person(always on G-talk??????). Some spend their night typing everything on computer. Feed it in their cell phone and use it directly. A few with hands on experience with PHOTOSHOP added page similar to the pages in the book. For that subject in which the questions were known and data book was allowed.

The calculators with such minute cryptic writing, to be understood (rather deciphered)by the author. They complained of bad lighting facility as soon as the cloud covered the sky outside. As the rooms lighting was not sufficient to show the minute engraved details on the board, calculator. This is mostly used by such procrastinating people who ask for the syllabus during night or in morning & are already placed. These are the most confident people @ exams (not because they have studied but due to their confident dependence on their resources.

These are the one who are jack of all trades, their peccadillo would enthrall everyone. These moments would last long in the memories. The innovative engineers if work constructively could do anything. Their imagination is amazing. There are others also who work hard and never use the properties inside class or the calculator (SANTA, PRANAV, DHANANJAY, PRAVEEN etc… other honest souls). He has enormous concentration before exam and works really hard. This exam have exposed a few saint souls also??????????

HATS OFF BOYS!!!!!!!

Don’t know if girls follow any of the above mentioned methods. ( SURELY they wouldn’t!!!!! )
HATS OFF GIRLS!!!!!!!

UNSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ( midsem - 3rd paper )

After a disastrous start with 2 papers in a row, it was the turn of most unsustainable paper of entire engg career. We along with ECE students were appearing for SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. We were asked to write everything taught (notes + assignment – approx 50 pages). Quite an impossible task for someone like me. This meant :

NOTES of 35hrs (7 weeks 8.15 am  to 9.00 am ) = our 2 hrs 

Sufficient for antagonizing everyone against the PROF. Due to his sinister deed of setting such lengthy Q.Paper and inundating us to write.

 However, his cruel act affected few mundane souls. As many others had extended exam duration. They went on early, revised the whole thing on the desk, on the wall, pillars, their own seat for 2 hrs before exam. Some had burned their midnight oil in preparation of tidbits of notes (Chutka), writing on the calculator.

A guy carried 2 calculators with him in every exam. guess?????????

( though this mid sem didn’t had even a single arithmetic calculation involved)

What kind of calculation is involved is history of CAD/CAM. Management of information, environmental pollution (calculating the rate at which arctic penguin are causing environmental pollution or humans polluting the morning atmosphere. 

OR his cell phone bill spent on Ma , Op etccc....

On my first glance of Q.P arrrrre  SUMIT this last question itself would take 1 hrs. ( I completed it in  less than 15 minutes -- read to know  HOW & WHY)

I started writing at my own pace and completed first Q in 55 minutes, (Pranjal submitted his paper after 5 minutes!!!!!!!!) writing down everything remembered and invented during that period. My hand was severely paining after writing continuously for 4 pages for just 10 marks. Then it was turn of 2^nd question. Again a bad  start as  the first part took 15 minutes which was beyond my expectation.

 An impending disaster to proceed. Suddenly, kind of irresistible and an unwanted thought. I tinker my course of action. Aaj INDIA ka ODI hai score kya hua hoga?? I looked for my cell phone (banned in hall) in my pocket silently and started browsing for score. With full network available it took just 3 minutes (ooppsss)to show the score. The score read (80+) Tendulkar on 50.

 YAARRRR Ab jaldi jaana hoga nahi toh match nahi dekh payenge. 

  IT WAS HARD TO CONCENTRATE AS I MOVED MY HEAD HERE & THERE IN DESPAIR. .

The whole process took away my 7 valuable minutes. I was left to be perished with 40 minutes & more than half of the paper to be answered. I proceeded again,  writing at accelerated  pace with miserable handwriting and completed the paper. In the mean process taking extra sheet consumed up my valuable 3 minutes.

I tried my best and just left a Q of 2 marks. The recent development was fully unsustainable on my part.

With just 15 minutes remaining I scribbled down whatever aroused my mind at that point of time for the third question. Even I won’t be able to understand such vulnerable handwriting. One can’t resist it when 1 is at such cataclysmic position. However my natural handwriting is the same ........ EVERYONE knows..

Finally I left the examination hall discussing the paper with my mates & others of electrical branch .The final  destination as for now was towards watching the ODI. Hope, all of u had the same reaction on first sight at Q P.

I am impenitent of my act, have no regrets as I witnessed the marvelous magnum opus of SACHINs double century innings.

VOILA ! SACHIN. LONG LIVE THE  MASTER BLASTER.

There are many stones thrown at you & you turn them into milestonesssssss.

NIT VS XLRI (@ LORDS - 26.01.10)

On the auspicious occasion of the REPUBLIC DAY the cricket match was being 

organized between the technocrats from NIT & the budding managers from XLRI. The match was being scheduled from 10.00 am.

The stalwart managers arrive at the LORDS. Player’s mean of transport was an auto-rickshaw. What? Surely, they could have afforded to keep up the reputation of hefty pay packages offered. However our star of the day VKG comes riding his black Apache. The teams practice in the meantime untill the inauguration ceremony. The total number of team members  that the visiting team could congregate was 11. Just enough to complete the squad. Among them few seemed to be so lethargic as if they were paid to be the member of the squad.

The inauguration ceremony occurs and the director is back again in action (speech) after his flag hoisting speech. Acting smartly he keeps it short. Finally after a long wait the captains go for the toss. The toss being won by home team, the captain decides to bat. XL team take the field with cheers all around. We take our position in the pavilion straight behind the wicketkeeper. As other places were pre-occupied with throng that was forcefully brought from UPs hostel. It seemed that the opposite sex was not even interested in cricket.

Only FEW had gathered there.

(YAAR GLAMOUR HI NAHI THA 20 -20 MEIN)

The batsmen take their crease. First few over were well bowled by the XL. Our batsman looked placid giving respect to the bowlers. After the span of 4 over they slowly accelerated the innings. However the regular fall of wickets was a cause of concern for the home team. Players like V. GAUTAM, MR.K, G.SINGH  etc. made a great contribution in the team total. It was because of them the team made a challengeable target. However they were really capable of scoring better than this score of 156.

Our star batsman was Santa who faced 3 balls for scoring a duck.

He was an epitome of DHAMM enterprise after he came back from the crease. ( DHAMM to be understood by only MECH people) So, the scoreboard read 156/9 in 20 overs for the home team.

After an interval of about 30 minutes the next innings began.

Team XL batsmen at the crease. They really looked underprepared while batting. As every delivery seemed unplayable to them. They were not even eager to play with the bat and were busy protecting themselves. In the first 4 overs the scoreboard read just 11 runs with no fall of wicket. First wicket fell in the 5^th over, a moment of respite for the home team. This was accompanied by 2 successive run-outs at the bowlers end. Both occurred in the same fashion. The over smart XL captain was also among the run outs.

Mr.K and V.G bowled some excellent deliveries. Their line, length was impeccable. Our fielders were showing their exuberance of youth in the field unlike those of XL. In the process they injured a XL player. The visiting team looked miserable at the crease. At one point of time it seemed they couldn’t even reach 50. However the cameo of the inning came from one batsman who played smartly utilizing the balls speed. ( didn’t remember the name)Instead of hard hitting he concentrated on placing the ball for boundaries. The wickets kept on falling at regular intervals and the whole team made meagre 68. Our star player from XL also didn’t contribute to provide some respite to the agony of XL team. They couldn’t even play the whole 20 overs.

The final result was loss of XL team by huge margin of 88 runs. An UNDERPREPEARED team. This clearly showed 

HOW CRUEL THE LIFE IS AT MANAGEMENT COLLEGES.

The pressure on them throughout their academic period to perform. They didn’t played to their potential. Otherwise few match winners of the visiting team could have gave the home team a run for their money. However cheers for the XL team who could manage to play the match on that day.

THANK U ALL FOR PARTICIPATING.
