The Holidays...

I am back home at long last...and it is time for the holidays. Well, half of that is already done, but no problem.

First up, Christmas...
December is usually a month which brings happiness in its wake. But this time, I didn't feel any of it. It was partly due to the 13 12 11 mishap on my part and due to the extremely rushed state of affairs. But anyway, I reached home on 24th, and my cousins were already there. Well, both of them have exams at the start of next year, so they are spending most of their times behind books...so that made up my holidays...
Next up....


On Christmas day, we went for Don 2. the much awaited return of the King was a crowd-puller all right, but there was just too much style and little substance in all of that. And when SRK ripped off his Hrithik mask, that was just a wee bit too much. And the dialogue "Agar tumhe kuch ho jata to???" coming from the world's biggest criminal...really?Really?
that being said, that's all that has happened till now...







And I just want to say this...
2012 is coming,
And it will be the end of the world as you know it...

An Epitaph of Sorts...

13 12 11...A mathematical progression of death. EC lab is one of those places where it is pure hell if you don't know the theory. And if you do???
It is still pure, unadulterated hell.
And 6 months of agonizing torture came to a head today as I set foot into the demonic structure. And I stretched my hand out to draw out my question... hoping for the luck of the draw to aid me as it has done on countless occasions. I whipped my hand out, and opened the booklet to the first page.
And my breath got stuck in my throat.
This requires me to draw the CB characteristics.
And that isn't even in the syllabus.
Oh, I just got got. I just got screwed.
I drew the circuit from my distant memory, and proceeded to set up the circuit.
And that is when I just blew my cool.
I have got quite a lot of problems to be dealing with without the multimeters quitting their jobs.
By 2 and a half hours, I was nearly in tears. I wanted to rip, tear everything I saw. I was that damn angry.
But then, God lent a hand.
One of the last multimeters which was not working till that instant sprang up to life for no apparent reason. And I was saved. I got a couple of readings, and drew the graph. I overshot the expected value, but still, I think I will scrape through.
A bitter-sweet day to be frank.
It's over.
Thank you my King for Saving Me.

Back and Forth...

Wow, I seem to have forgotten to write anything here since I was bombed with the result...yeah, it was kinda unexpected, and I am a bit disappointed, knowing that I was beaten. But I've got nobody to blame but myself. I can do nothing about it this semester, the exams are nearly over, only the practicals remain, but in S4, oh hell, I will be the best I can be.
***********************************************************************************
But moving on...
I seem to be spending a LOT of time in the train nowadays. Let's count shall we?
4,9,12,19 and today night as well. Count a 12 hour journey each time, and what do we get????
60 hours in the train, one month, and the month is not done yet...
Wow, the train is steadily becoming my second home, as far as I'm concerned...
The thing is, right now, we are having weekly exams, and nothing to do during the week drives me home. Well, no complaints there!!! But still wish someone, one of my uncles and family were there, it sure gets a bit boring now and then...
Now............

I don't know how many of you actually watched Harry Potter, but check out this mimicry of Severes Snape...

First Year Results Out to Get Me...

A month and a half of speculation, six months since the exam, the much awaited first year results have been declared.
Drum roll would be much appreciated at this time...9.17. Yup, that's right no marks, no percentages, no nothing, just plain Grade Point Average.
It's not like I am on cloud nine, it's not like I am jumping all over the place...I am a wee bit disappointed. Can't help it, that is just the way I am. I promised myself at the start of college that I wont get all heated up over being the topper, and would just do my best and leave the rest, but that is never ever going to happen. What good is giving your best if it doesn't make you the best? I got beaten, I got clobbered.
But for every down, there is an up. Without falling you will not rise, without darkness there will be no light, without pain there will be no gain, then and only then shall victory bow down before you, and you shall smell the sweetness of success.
Hey, I didn't create this, it is the ad for TNA.
But it's got a whole lot of truth in it...

11.11.11............

11.11.11.

A unique, mystic combination that occurs once every hundred years and I had to have an exam on that very day. It was not horrific or terrific, I've had better. But it was okay. But that is not the topic…

To a rational, skeptic mind, this does not bear any special significance, it is at best a coincidence. Come to think of it, that is kind of true. If we chose a different counting system, or chose a different number of months, this could have been commonplace.

But believers worldwide profess that this is a mystic day and bears magical significance. I don know a girl who has a birthday today, so I wish her all the very best for her future, and hope that her future and birthday turn out to be magical.

So it ultimately boils down to this. Are you the kind of person who sees omens, or do you see signs?

Got the difference??? Just think it out...

Summin' up a Hectic Weekend!!!

My last post was dated the day my exams would have ended officially but didn't due to the one that was postponed. Anyhow, I came back home on 4th and would reached here on 5th. But as bad luck would have it, I began sneezing my nose off by noon and it just wouldn't leave me alone. And it turned out to be a vicious, diabolic bout of cold. But the funny thing was, I had all the energy in the world to do things. The only problem was everything from my throat up felt clogged, if you know what I mean. Well, it subsided, but now its time for me to leave. Today. I've got exams on 11th followed by practicals, so I don't know when I'll be back. But this blog'll keep on talking....

A Breather at Last!!...???

Whew...that was one hell of a ride. I've got to tell you this.
You've got a University exam announced just 2 weeks before. You've got an idiot posting on Facebook that the exam's going to be postponed just two days before it starts. And you get the exam as it was planned. When everything seems to be going according to plan, BAM, an exam is postponed. And you go ahead and know it's not until next week. And FINALLY, it ended today, barring the one set for 11th.
A time to relax??? Oh Hell No. Welcome to the real world, guys!!!
EC lab record to be submitted on 9th, practical exams commencing on 15th, yeah it's going to be a fun week!!
But I am going home tomorrow and I couldn't feel happier.
Nothing more to say...
Laus Deo.
