Hey Guys,
I'm back for those who thought that I was gone and all those who missed my posts. And those who thought otherwise and didn't miss my posts are lying coz, they wouldn't be reading this then.
Gone where?
Boss, I too need to study, and moreover joining MBA coaching is last semester had made life more complicated or does it..? well I'll decide it later.
First Lemme wish y'all a very happy Twenty 10.
So apologies for such a delay after last post, it is not that I didn't tried, it is that I always felt short of ideas, when I was with the Idea, I felt short of words and when I was with idea and words I was short of time. So in short, I was short of something or the other.
This future Engineer has done with 5/8 th of his engineering or simple speaking I've done with my 5th sem and now hoping that results don't drag me into trouble. Papers went okay, this time I dated books along with my two other friends Umi and Ravi , the only similarity between these two idiots is evident here itself which is both names Umi and Ravi rhyme well, apart from this they are like Electrostatic charges "OPPOSITE" but there's a difference here too i.e. they don't attract ......or ideally they should not attract ..........but do they ? well that's out of the scope of this post :P. Ravi is an intelligent guy, makes sharp comments and remarks..I'd say he is Mr. Intel while Umi is like a Intel motherboard works well until undisturbed once disturbed can get difficult to manage, umi is short tempered but one helluva mate always good to share thoughts with him.
Let me tell you how my life turned, in these last 2-3 months .
The past two months have been pretty hectic to say the least, Let me rewind the clock to 15 Nov 2009. If I'm not horribly wrong 15th Nov was the date when our second midsems commenced (I already told earlier that we have best of 3 midsems as if a CB series Final in Australia ).I'm back for those who thought that I was gone and all those who missed my posts. And those who thought otherwise and didn't miss my posts are lying coz, they wouldn't be reading this then.

Let me tell you how my life turned, in these last 2-3 months .
As the dates came out Mr Cool particularly went livid, the reason was also rigid which was, 17th was the day of his elder brothers marriage. To say that Mr Cool was the only one who went nuts would be understatement, we also went mad coz the faculty rescheduled the exam dates to mid november, earlier it was in 1st week, the situation was out of our hand and everybody came terms with the schedule, though some like us and Mr Cool himself were unhappy.
But Frankly speaking it didn't make helluva difference coz, we still made to the sangeet and Reception without iota of tensions of midsems the next day.
Glad we did made to the reception that day..Speaking of 17th ..Mr Cool image flashes in my mind...the image of him meeting us on the eve ....he was surely looking like a groom but thankfully wasn't acting like one. He welcomed us and dragged into the "Baarat"..we got into the crowd and wasted no time to begin with our idiotic moves , don't know whether the camera guy got us on the tape or not, but surely we must have been looking jerks condidering the way we were doinmg our move . The night was great, everybody enjoyed, as the time clocked 2AM in morning we hesitantly decided to leave..we didn't had any options either.Wishing Good Luck to bhaiya and Adios to Mr Cool we left from there, exhausted and burnt.
(Picture)All of us on eve of 17th
The next day (18 nov )was an ordinary day ...what was special was our eyes..in one night it went from Aamir Khan's to Salman Khan's....it was CGM paper today....There were few mistakes in the Question paper, Intel found it and reported it to concerned only to get scolded ...he was furious and more importantly he was right...but authority didn't thought in resonance , Intel thought it was better to leave and so he did. Sometime later I also left the room.
Umi Intel and I met after the paper.Sandeep "Sandy" too joined the conference, Sandy is one guy which gives me hope , he is not like us as he is very sincere when it comes to study. Umi and I knew it was Now or Never scenario for us coz next was Theory of Computation (TOC) and we were in such a condition that even acquiring a minimum positive integer as our marks was a tough job , given our sir pass out of an IIT were setting the paper . Sandy also had his feet in water in TOC so he along with Umi and I urged Intel to teach something about TOC, Intel agreed , it was decided that we will switch to group study and go for a night stay at Umi's den.
It was tough, real tough ...for those like us who hadn't even held a Shivani forget the book in hand till then. Intel did a coaching for the subject and we are glad that he did, otherwise things would've been different. Intel started with the Finite State Automata and explained basics, as always Umi Sandy and I kept saying typically "Are ye to easy hai yaar, main to ise har kitta tough samjhta tha" , this made me realize the fact that problem is not within the problem, it lies within the one who solves it. Every now and then Intel made a point to remind us how happy he was that he joined the coaching and the 1000 bucks were fully meaningful.I also everytime happily reminded my mind that knowledge worth of Rs 1000
is getting free to us . But who can deny our pathetic condition, we were in a hole and the Max Payne thoughts were bingo " The genius of the hole: no matter how much time you spend climbing out, you can still fall back down in an instant. "
We studied till 4 AM, rather we had to, and then when our head could take no more we put an end to it, we completed a good part of 2 units and that
was very pleasing. Sleep can never be more satisfying as it is one which is achieved after such exhaustive study.I dreamt that I topped the TOC paper but dreams have a nasty habit of going bad when you're not looking.
Intel as always, stood up first in the morning and made us awake.

After one day , When the teacher was about to give the Qn paper , my head struck again with a Max Payne quote "Einstein was right. Time is relative to the observer. When you're looking down the question paper, time slows down. Your whole life flashes by, heartbreak and scars. Stay with it, and you could live a lifetime in those few seconds " of course it's a bit moulded but it seemed Max's thought were spot on for an Engineer, TOC paper went okay...at least for us who were nowhere in a position to fill 2 pages a day earlier and now we filled a sheet. All thanks to Intel.
Next few days went unnoticed as it was time of externals and vivas.I love vivas solely due to reason that you everyday see valuable expressions on your classmates faces which otherwise seem to be too monotonous, expressions mind you are in close proximity of names of two Bond movies, some have "Die Another Day" expressions and some have "The world is not enough " expressions, we certainly belong to second category and are never unnerved by these viva stuff....while some belonging to former category always feel more nerves here than in End Sem Exams . Externals too passed us.
Time passed and we were again waiting for out encounters with RGPV papers for 5th time...they were scheduled from 22nd December 09, the exam date came as huge shock as people were expecting to be in January. Rumours regarding change of dates of exam flooded the net, many students were in a fix regarding dates. Rumours are one thing which are a necessity in RGPV , there are rumours of every kind ..just choose yours and propagate, one won't be surprised to know that they propagate fast then most wild fires.I recall my friends from Private Insti's calling me day n night to ask are these dates fixed and permanent ?, they usually go in with the feeling that I being a GEC student will be more trusted source.But the truth is very much evident from the fact that we ourselves are in dilemma let alone clearing doubts of others.Though I very much enjoy doing 'netagiri' when it comes to such a case.
The dates were not changed and we had exams from 22nd.
Again Umi Intel and I decided it was time when we'll have to meet, dates were fixed and we met , this time more seriously as we knew any mistake now, can easily lead to hazardous consequences most dreadful would be the case in which we are going to g(Picture)All of us on eve of 17th

The dates were not changed and we had exams from 22nd.
ive exams with our juniors, the thought itself is very intusive let alone the reality of it. Sandy this time decided to study alone as most sincere lads resort to. We divided each subject course in three parts , each did his bit and explained to others, who says school knowledge doesn't help, Divide and Rule British Policy which we studied in Grade 8 in school found implementation in Engineering, not only implementation, we understood the policy much better in Engineering than when we did in 8th grade. This was how we did it rather this was the only way we had to do it. For the 1st time in my life I studied on 31st eve... Intel made it memorable as he bought some Swiss Chocolates which we ate at 12.00am, we took a break and danced a bit or rather moved a bit coz, dance would be too graceful word.Umi's moves were something I can't forget for rest of my life. We celebrated New Year with books and chocolates inside umi's home.(picture: New year celebrations)

Days of Death, 22nd to 5 Jan passed in a jiffy, on 5th it was all over,the 3 idiots did it, how well we did it hmm ...Time will tell.We decided that we'll have a day's rest and on 6th we'll have a day's trip to Indore and so we did.All went well and we enjoyed the trip certainly the journey in general compartment is well remembered.
(picture: on way to Indore)
Time is passing very quickly, as if God has enhanced the angular speed of our earth, the past months have been a great experience for me, I'd say I will thank exams as they have made me understand friendship better.....and most certainly I've understood my friends better, learned to help each other and most importantly I've spent some valuable moments with my friends which I'll surely cherish, later on in my life and hopefully they'll too.
I'd like to end this post with these lines from Thomas Jefferson
"But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine."
Thanks for reading through.....
