How to set a Mumbai university paper

Ever wondered how these profs set the question papers? well this is how-
Prof 1:There is no fun in our life!
Prof 2:(disinterested) ya!
Prof 1:Can we do something to make it interesting?
Prof 2:(disinterested)Nope
Prof 1:yes we can! What do you say we set a really difficult paper for sem 8 students? Isnt tht FUN?!! I know…we can set the complete paper out of syllabus
Prof 3 overhears the conversation
Prof 3: You know,setting questions out of the syllabus is not allowed in mumbai university
Prof 1:Who cares??
Prof 3:If you set such a paper you will be thrown out of the University
Prof 1: er..on second thought…maybe tht is not so much fun…I know…we can set questions which are least expected by the student fraternity…Or maybe we will twist the easy questions in such a way tht they become unsolveable…or/and we could have some critical data missing in the problem so tht students waste time racking their brains…are you with me Prof 2?
Prof 2:(disinterested)ya
Prof 1:are you with me Prof 3?
Prof 3:I dont think thts very smart…Prof 2? you approve of this plan?
Prof 2: (disinterested)whatever!

RAC was a not so good…Last 3 papers to go!

The art of cribbing

If only I could write exams The Calvin Way…I have been studying quite a lot lately….Fed up…totally…My only respite is Seinfeld and Friends(Its been repeated so many times,I know the dialouges byheart…). Still no cable at my place…Some leaked signals make way to my TV…The quality aint tht good,but beggars cant be choosers(no reference,but what the heck?)

Top 5-Profs I was afraid of!

As most of you know,my PL is on…PL means Preparatory leave…(kitne bar bataoon yaar?)…Since I dont “prepare” tht much in the leave, I spend most of the time thinking about the economic policies implemented by the planning commission and the allocation to education and health services by the Ministry of coal… er…well actually, I spend my time thinking what my mom’s gonna make for dinner!

So, in one of my day-dreaming spells, I was wondering- who have been the profs I was really afraid of…

1.Prof Rane:Was the most afraid of him…Now he more like a friend…a friend who keeps us entertained by his views on life,college and Suril…

2.Prof Raul:Still afraid of him…And will always be…That is one reason why I didnt attend his lectures :) …Also I guess he is the Prof. who choose to teach the worst subjects…Machine Drawing,Mechanical Vibrations,FEA etc…Btw, Raul sir is Rahul Bhat’s fav prof…Actually its the other way round…Rahul Bhat is Raul’s fav student…

3.Prof. Chauhan: He is pretty jolly,but sometimes loses his cool…I guess he is very unpredictable…

4.Prof.Bhonsale: The silent types…Commands respect…The atmosphere changes as soon as he enters the room…Have seen him get angry once…SCARY…very SCARY!!!

5.Prof Jadhav:The toughest and meanest prof in town…He should have been in the Indian Army…His sense of discipline was very much like Major Ranjit Singh Rathore(why do these majors have two surnames??)

Well, after the war tht I have had with this MIT guy (go back two posts), I was wondering whether we at SP had the best Profs. in the coll…Now I feel they were really good…I mean SP probably has the most approachable profs in town…

I remember,when I had took ill (back in sem4)…I missed almost all the practicals/tutorials and lectures toh I never really care to attend…Every Prof was so pissed off….they were all so eager to fail me… I was frustrated and almost thought of quitting engg.

My friends will tell you tht I dont give up tht easy…But this time,it was different…

This is when I approached my prof-Prof. Bade…I asked him to talk to the profs who were really angry at me… Bade sir did talk to them…I dont know how much of an effect it had on those profs but the fact tht someone was on my side helped..

I always wanted to tell him this- Thanks for being there!

N95

There’s a thing in my pocket….but its not one thing….Its MANY!

Is this what Computers have become?

Its an amazing ad, isnt it?

Instead of spending on “brand ambassors” like Abhishek and Hrithik companies should think of spending on quality advertisements..

I dont remember the ads “The Thump is here”(sony Ericcson) or Motorolla’s campaign for Motorockr having such an impact on me…

[P.S.- Btw,if you buy this baby– There will be a thing in your pocket….but it definately wont be cash!! lol!

Dhadkan Dhadkan ya saason me…

I have no cable at my home…This is coz my sis will be giving med CET this year and there is some unwritten rule in my house tht whenever some important exam approaches,the cablewallah will be denied his birthright of playing those 1980s movs(tht too scratched cds)

So, nowadays,its just me and the radio…

I am not much of a hindi song lover,but this song is just going on and in my head

Woh Ajnabee… [mov-TRAIN]

woh woh Woh Ajnabee
woh Ajnabee 5
woh woh Woh Ajnabee
woh Ajnabee 5
woh woh Woh Ajnabee
Figure it out

[Aisa koi mujhko mil gaya hai sathiya
Jise dekhkar bhooli sari duniya]2

[Woh Ajnabee 2
Jo dekhe door se
A dekhu mein usko hi o usko hi
Abb sab kuch bhool ke ]2

A Dhadkan dhadkan ya saason mein
Raatein raatein ya khwaabon mein
Sapne sapne wohi to hai
Yeh bata dun mein use

Shaame shaame ya subhoh mein
Shaamil shaamil woh har pal mein
Har dum har dum woh baatoon mein
Mere rahi hai kahin

woh woh Woh Ajnabee
woh Ajnabee 5
woh woh Woh Ajnabee
woh Ajnabee 5
woh woh Woh Ajnabee

[Abb aisa usse jud gaya hai silsila
Wohi woh nazar aaye mujhko har jagah]2

A aaa zindagi hai Roshan hui
Hai uske noor se
Dil ko sacchi kushi Hasil hui
Hai uske Ishq Se

Mujhko abb har ghadi o har ghadi
Uska hi surroor hai
Dekhe woh usko hi haan usko hi
Aankhe majboor hai

A Dhadkan dhadkan ya saason mein
Raatein raatein ya khwaabon mein
Sapne sapne wohi to hai
Yeh bata dun mein use

Shaame shaame ya subhoh mein
Shaamil shaamil woh har pal mein
Har dum har dum woh baatoon mein
Mere rahi hai kahin

woh woh Woh Ajnabee
woh Ajnabee 5
woh woh Woh Ajnabee
woh Ajnabee 5
woh woh Woh Ajnabee

[Usko paaye paya mene sara jahan
Rab usko na karna naa kabhi bhi juda]2

o ooo abb bandagi shaamil hui
Hai mere jist mein
Dil ko sacchi kushi Hasil hui
Hai uske Ishq Se

Mujhko abb har ghadi o har ghadi
Uska hi surroor hai
Dekhe woh usko hi haan usko hi
Aankhe majboor hai

A Dhadkan dhadkan ya saason mein
Raatein raatein ya khwaabon mein
Sapne sapne wohi to hai
Yeh bata dun mein use

Shaame shaame ya subhoh mein
Shaamil shaamil woh har pal mein
Har dum har dum woh baatoon mein
Mere rahi hai kahin

woh woh Woh Ajnabee
woh Ajnabee 5
woh woh Woh Ajnabee
woh Ajnabee 5
woh woh ajnabee

A F1 driver…

Let me tell you a story…It wont make sense at first,but pay attention and you will get what I wanna convey…

This is a story of a F1 driver,a F3 driver actually who got promoted to F1 coz of his amazing driving skills at the F3 level…lets call him-Armez Rosso…He drives a ..lets say Mcfaren…

This story is about the race of his life…To see if he wins it…read on…

About this race…This race has 32 laps(you could choose any multiple of 8)…
He doesnt get the pole…hes a good driver but cant compare him with the drivers at F1

Alright,the lights turn green…the race starts…he is currently placed behind all the good drivers…They are seasoned drivers,hes just a novice…”Not fair”,he says to himself…
4 laps pass,Armez manages to steer himself past some of the “seasoned” drivers…He finds a driver who probably has the same sensibilities as him…They ride together…He is a lot of fun to be with,thinks Armez.
4 more laps pass…smooth…hes still good…
4 more laps…no excitement…Armez starts losing interest…
Thts when the unthinkable happens…engine failure…pit stop…Mcfaren guys cant figure out the problem…
Lot of time has passed…Everyone has moved on…Only losers are left behind…Armez realises tht some of the drivers have dropped out of the race…He fears being dropped out…Finds some drivers who lend him a helping hand…They share their skills…feels better…Now the race not so much about winning as it is about proving the world wrong…Armez puts the pedal to the floor…Sharp corner…manages well…He is among the best again…The audience is in awe…

2 yrs have passed by…After 16 laps,Armez feels tired…Where are we going?We are just moving round and round!There is no time to think…Race…steer past tht Fellari…F**k u loser!!
End of Sem 5…Next 4 laps are tougher…Armez sweeps past…He wishes the race would end here…Why all this? for a trophy? He probably knows hes not gonna get tht anyway…But is it really tht imp for other drivers…

Placed in one of the best companies on campus…For a moment he feels he has won…The audience claps…Thankyou all…but again does it really matter?
Last year of Engg…Hes got really tired…his grey Mcfaren is covered with dust…but they wouldnt care less…armez shifts down a gear…the car seems smoother…the turning has improved…was he putting too much load on the car?? He could now see other drivers…they wave at him as he passes by…
Those fellow drivers whom he met after 4 sem are still by his side…He now calls them “friends”…They still want the trophy it seems…Armez is too cool to worry,I guess…Hes enjoying the scenery.The track seems familiar,the drivers seem familiar…The audience seems satisfied…They can still see the Mcfaren’s gleaming grey through all tht dust tht has accumulated on it over the years…The grey shines in the sunlight as he takes a turn…
He looks at the audience,they could have been anywhere in the world…but they chose to come here…”You have been a great crowd…Thank You all for coming out…”
He realises tht it wasnt about the trophy…It was about the Race…
Does tht mean he will race again? I dont think so…
And about who won the trophy…Does it really matter?
