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 2nd 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.
