II Internals

Second internals are finally over,that means we got chance to make up for our averages only in one more attempt.Had a crazy time writing internals,its always mad.Hardly no sleep and then running around to gather the last bit of notes.Always in a an attempt to cram maximum. Phew! Maybe we have always been this way, whole of Engineering! No one ever bothered to actually remember the content from internals,basically a bloody eye wash to show we are bright enough! We study maximum but everything still is new when we sit down to prepare for the end semester exams.

The times when I joined engineering I thought it would be a tough course,well atleast for a start! Gradually I learned the whole process of how an engineering student copes with each and every semester right from dealing with internals,arranging notes,getting the last minute photocopies,ragging,cramming a month in advance for the external papers.It has always been a rat race,maybe our generation was meant to deal with that kind of competition in any field for that matter.Not just in academics,anything is dealt with competition.Someone is superior to the other in some way or the other.It can be anything at all,it doesnt matter.Sometimes academic excellence is not considered,atleast in the hostels of BMS.Well atleast I know the way the hostels work everyday.Somedays its just about the matches like IPL,Football(Whatever it is),etc when everyone is so engrossed in staying up late nights watching matches and when there is nothing you can prove your superiority then it finally comes down to the number of pegs one can down one night and still stay sober.Good if it stops at the amount of Alcohol intake.Sometimes its just way more than the normal crowd would prefer.I dont blame any hostel,it probably happens in every engineering hostel all over the country.Weed,hash,Magic mushrooms are very common.When drinks aint the criteria it finally comes down to how many joints,etc.

All in all,I have learnt a lot in my engineering years, both good and bad.I know what is right and what is wrong.I dont want anyone telling me bout it.I dont regret any moment but yes I know what I am doing and where my limits stand.Dad,if you are reading this post.You have nothing to worry when it comes to me.Always you happen to mention that for me everything was a fascination.Maybe, it was those days when I was always fascinated right from watches,mobiles,etc.I still luv watches! Somethings never change! Maybe those days I was biased and easily influenced.Yeah,partly I agree I was someone who could easily be influenced.I am no more like that anymore.I know my responsibilities and my duties as a son.I will not let you down.

I dont know why I thought of putting up this post,but yes I thought the wrong notions if any has to change coz I know what I am doing.I am a better student and definitely a better son now.

Adios.
Till someother post,

Official Hatred

I hereby announce that I officially hate the Dept of Chemical Engineering of BMSCE.Even in final year they load us with hell lot of portions for internals,then end up not giving marks.Like for eg, for the first internal of Food Tech she didnt give us the right portions and on top of all that she will ask questions which dont have a proper answers.End of it when we go asking for the marks it looks like no one has got any decent marks and range from 0-30 on 50! She taught us another crappy subject in third sem (MSMC) and there too she was refusing to give marks.Bloody hell,like she's being penalised for every mark that she gives us.

Well for tomo once again she has given hell lot of portion to study that too two days before the internals start.She even expects us to do well while on the other hand she will still not frame the right questions,refuse to give marks,etc.

Grr.
Its 1.30 in the morning and I am still studying for her damn subject!
Rest of the frustration someother day.

Adios.
Got to get back to studyin!..

Weekend

Weekend has never been the same after I left hostel. I should have just gone to college rather than sitting at home with a Process Control text book wondering what chapters to study when Ma'am hasnt given a clue of the portions yet.I have my internals in 3 days time and like always portions not known,last minute notes still to gather,etc etc.

When will I get a break from all this?! Academically sound,thats one thing I am really glad about.Atleast for now! Other than that,nothing at all in the recent times interest me.Am bored of the net,the craze to catch a movie first day first show,friends get together,hostel ragging,etc.Even bunking an hour is boring,might as well sit in class than agreeing for a mass bunk! I thought year by year engineering would get better.I am not talking anything close to academics.Blah,maybe I should just deal with it for now.



Wake up Sid:

One movie I was eagerly waiting for.Its the kind of movie I like,lot of color,enough comedy to make you smile,little bit of senti scenes.Perfect for a relaxed time at the theatre.Very light hearted movie and nothing like Dev D and Kaminey,I truly didnt like those movies much.Maybe I had something in mind when I went for them.It turned out to be totally different and at some point I wanted the movie to end atleast Dev D.


Rating : 3.75/5
Must watch.



I have started to read again,well almost.Not a great start and really not like how I used to read during my school days or even college days for that matter.Now I have the time and I still dont read as much as I used to.Monthly I do pick up a few magazines like Men's health and Maxim to while away time when I take a crap!
I have started reading this novel 'Of Course I love you..till I find someone better'.Havent progressed much so I will write more about it once I am done with that book(Hopefully soon!).Need to convince myself to sit in one place and patiently read.

Until the next post,
Adios.

The Online Diary




I have been wanting to find an alternative to my habit of writing a diary.There are times when I keep filling in every other day and then there are times when I dont want to write for maybe a month or so.Keep losing track of details and facts over time.Its irritating when I cant recall details of a particular day.It never struck me that maybe I can have a personal diary online and avoid all the 'junjut' of keeping the diary in the drawer,locking it,etc.

I still prefer when I can actually sit down on my table and give the diary entry lot of thought.Been too lazy these days and then hardly any time.Maybe once in a while I will print the diary entry and stick it back in my actual personal diary,prob every 15 entries or once in a month.

Shankar Ehsaan Loy Concert - IIM Bangalore




It was a dream come true to see the IIM Campus.Last year when KK Came to perform I wanted to go but then I dont know what happened,I didnt go.This year when the posters were out I had made up my mind even if no one is willing to come along with me I will go.
Concert was good but the experience of the IIM Campus was great!
