Irritated-Frustrated-Bored-Annoyed-Confused



I have been just released for mental hospital a day before. My dysfunctional brain got crushed by the atmospheric pressure. I have lost my senses and am an insane suffering from identity crisis. Bored for long and in dearth of thoughts to write. I tried to recall the news heard, read, seen unintentionally during past few days. So presenting whatever I scribbled through my 1 byte memory left. Trying to brief up the whole story witnessed so far.

As usual the fearless of all Indian enemies MAOIST, NAXALITE playing commonwealth games with INDIA transport system. Initially starting from Dantewada (bus), then moving on to Gyaneshwari express(train) disaster and many more such incident waiting in queue. PLAYING WITH RED FOR THE CELEBRATION OF BLACK (week). Indian government has found their own home grown terrorist who tries best to keep the population under control (accelerated mortality rate - dreadful carnages), thus serving the nation in the best possible way. Maoist friendly UPA government without any answer to nuisance are busy celebrating their anniversary in the cabinet. The table top runway Manglaore airport being overshot and had an accident leading to loss of 158 life along with 8 miraculous escapes. The media heckling 24 x 7 X 3 for the unfound black box of the charred plane. Once the black box was found all news of crash stopped floating on the screen. Media shifting their focus to respective correspondent. Claiming themselves to be first to show BB being found with the exclusive footage. How brave were they to show that BB was still not found instead of helping to search BB among debris. As if a one man army of intrepid explorer. Still good for nothing.

Steve Jobs vs BILL Gates competition continues. MS being toppled by Apple (the father to I phone). An engineer’s lifeline FB banned in Pakistan & Bangladesh. Biggest threat to a company’s management – Labour Laws creating havoc to Chinese I phone manufacturing company FOXCONN (10 suicides in protest). The hoopla and the media galore over KITES from last year. All proving ephemeral. I think even I could write such films script. (hehehehe) The topsy turvy Jharkhand government back in action. COAL THEIF, unhonorable Chief Minister Shibu Soren unwilling to part his throne. Showcasing the result of distributed mandate. Some force full MMS scandal that leads to suicide and suspension. The cops bringing shame to the whole protectionist body of Indian government. The results of budding students being declared with success stories along with the photographs. ECLIPSING the whole of newspaper for 3 days after respective result.

Pakistan as usual facing challenges as they are not able to keep up with the mortality rate due to fewer blast in last fortnight. Most recent Lahore bomb blast killing only 62. Facebook adding some unknown security features. Google displaying the best doodle ever on Packman 30th anniversary. Sensex playing its sensitive game with maximum volatility and checking endurance thus floundering the always roaring traders. WHY CANT I PLAY TENNIS. I can cause upsets (to myself). Roland Garros back in action with no upsets till now. READY FOR RAFA – NADAL clash again IN FINALS. Indian youngistann team carrying on with the seniors loosing streak of T20 to ODI AGAINST UNDERDOG Zimbabwean team.
That’s all for weeks news .SIGNING OFF
World’s first mentally retarded News reporter – RKS.

***** IN Rememberance *******


Its time to bid adieu
To the old sweet friendship that we brew
Strangers were we
Far from our sweet home territory
It seemed as if the journey restarting from nursery
Alienated was I from such confined hostel life
Thanks to my roomies  (Pranj,Prash,Prab..),
 Who made it all fun and easy for me to survive,
We read, played and giggled making fun of others, (mostly 3 P’s)
That’s how we spent our beautiful times all together.

FINAL SEMESTER DISASTER - The last unwanted gift from NIT


The one man army really bambooed the confident student group of NIT. The arrogant minded college authorities responsible for conducting examination really jilted the whole confidence of every student. The final semester paper of an autonomous body was set in some other campus. Such radical change was disastrous. The new rule said it was compulsory to secure 17 marks in the final paper. Starting from first semester to final semester, everyone’s paper was covering the whole syllabus.
As far as the final year was concerned there were two papers where the common question came for every branch students. Though being taught by different  professor. This meant to prepare for any exam you have to be acquainted with four times the original syllabus. The one night study was not sufficient till now to cover the single notebook. We were expecting bouncers in every paper.
Unfortunately we lived beyond our expectation. As we received N numbers of bouncers everyday. More than what India faced against the aussies in the T20 match.
50% of the papers had all bouncers. As none of the questions were from the syllabus covered in class. A paper had a mix of questions from outside paper and inside paper as option for every question. It was for the sake of the options that we could answer few questions. Otherwise I could guarantee that none could have touched even a single question. Our condition was just pathetic.
The confidence had all vanished and we all prayed for the magic figure of 17.
Few question like
A 10 marks question for writing the feature & objective of input device.
really fused every mind taking the exam.
The facebook updates throughout the week spoke the whole story. The juniors were facing most difficult exam of their lifetime as they had all core subjects. We were fortunate enough with respect to this as we had only 2 branch papers. Rest of them were global subjects. (where one could write anything without knowing anything)
As always there  were some novels method for cheating being invented by the innovative minds out there. The new methods comprised of using 5 calculators in exam. In the absence of sunlight in the stormy weather, mobile torch was used to see the contents revised on the bench. Writing everything is still in vogue. The heat of the exam coupled with ambient conditions gripped few honest souls. Some were carrying geometry box for first time in their NIT career.
All the innovators were also fooled this time as the out of the syllabus questions puzzled everyone. We sincerely wished that the same should not happen next time as the juniors would really find it hard to cope with this kind of unfamiliar situation.
This time we witnessed a really bad situation. Where the harsh and foolish remarks by the teacher lead to such step taken by a student. I sincerely hope that such kind of thing do not occur in future. The college authority should work on improving its internal education system. Instead of stressing the student with such step taken a day before exam.

ENGLISH - the only prerequisite for being an engineer


i am an engg, i know hinglish



As per my experience, if you know tit bits of the funny language you can be an engineer. There are innumerable proofs to support the clause. Like using a verbose sentence makes the examiner feel that yes it ought to be right. There have been many persons who have been fooling around this from last 4 year. There are students who in spite of working hard, knowing everything related but lacking command over the language have poorer result than the others. 

The same was with the placement scenario. Few people got better placement than their peers just because of their better command over the language. Its good if you require a marketing profile person who could be a salesman for you. On the other side if one requires somebody for core jobs then its injustice to eliminate a person on the basis of G.D. you got to know him better. Coming from the metros, with worst possible entrance academics and still they got to be better than you just because of foolish E. This has shown the way communication skill has taken a centre stage of all academic affairs. Still we boast of our educative talent pool. Its engineering and not arts or philosophy we are talking about.

There have been many instances within an institute of national importance. One can know the standards when a lab assistant says
“ touch tar” (wire in electrical lab).

However there are other well renowned colleges also where the medium of interaction is the local language. Its gibberish and encrypted for people from other state. My brother suffered from such problem in initial years of engineering. Like all Humans, the most flexible of all species he adjusted himself as per circumstances.
One of the hilarious VIVA VOCE (every v-v has been hilarious till now as lesser mortals like us rarely utter a word on the other side of the table) incident of workshop –

What could one answer when one hears the questions like:

Job the name?

Tool the name? etc
Other best surprising moments:
I will finish you all, next Monday?
(means syllabus would be completed before Monday)

This will move on dono side? ( dono means both)

During oath taking ceremony of annual sports -- do hajar nine ( 2009)

There are others with enormous teaching experience and yet use incorrect spelling for words like discover. A boy got poor grades in the workshop as he could barely understand the question asked in Hindi (he was from southern part of the country). If u know how to write (better) in English u could easily pass more than half of the subjects, fooling the professor.

Thus we could easily claim that ENGLISH is directly proportional to engineering. From whatever background you are if you know how to write in the funny language, you ought to be an engineer. A great mockery of our education system. Hope the system gets improved quickly. We need to bring some immediate changes.
Input a few instances from your memory. I am sure even u must have experienced something like this.
