An incident I don't wish to recollect

Had been to college today for the alumni meet today. Met many of my friends whom I interacted with. While having a chat with the close ones, they teased me on this incident. Thought of documenting the same. All my classmates know this.

It was the first semester.

We were in the chemistry cycle of which computer science, basic electronics, chemistry etc were the subjects. Everything was new. The college, the lecturers, the students. Everything. Ours was the first batch. We boast of the freedom we got for the same reason today.

Three months had passed. We were familiar with one and all. The zeal of new college was in each one of us. People can say that we were like one family. I could've described it better if I was a poet. Duh!! It was a startup college. (Ah! Thats me!)

There was this electronic class that day. I won't disclose the name of the lecturer. She was explaining some electronic component and its working.

To be frank, analog electronics never entered my brain. Still I'm not sure why a transistor behaves exactly opposite if you increase the voltage? (I'm just blabbering gibberish! I don't recollect even the doubt I had those days, though I can google n get it back. I'm lazy)

That was another typical electronics class wherein I tried to get the sense out of it but in vain. So I guess I started thinking on my own lines of things that interested me.

I don't know what I did after that but I guess, I smiled as the output of my thought process or someone around would've cracked a joke or I was indifferent to expressions.

The lecturer took it in the wrong sense and screamed in the class.

Lecturer: "Now Sandesh, mind yourself! Behave! Don't do that again or I shall take severe action on you"

Sandesh: "Me??? eh??"

Lecturer: "Don't act smart! I would throw you outa the class if you do that again!"

Sandesh: "Ma'am, but what did I do?"

Lecturer: "Shut up and STOP staring at me. If you do that again, mind you, things will not be right!!"

And she continued.

Till date, I still am not able to figure out what was her intent in acting that way! Me checking her out vulgarly? eh! come on! I wouldn't do that to any girl on this planet to the best of my knowledge.

I could draw up these reasons:

1. She could've really felt I was checking her out!

2. She saw someone doing that in the class and couldn't directly convey the same to them and I was the scapegoat she found. (Similar such incident happened with a different lecturer though)

Nothing happened after that. She continued with the class, I was startled for a moment and continued thinking on foolish things. She didn't complain to any one as any other lunatic did.

Thankfully, things were fine after that. Good thing is that even she forgot the incident and started to act as if nothing had happened that day, till the day she got married and said "Good Bye" to the college (must be in our fourth semester)

Thanks for reading my grief! Keep looking for the next post.

Another funny (ironic) tale from College.

Caution:

1. Intended to be taken in a lighter sense.

2. Those who know the characters here are asked to keep their mouth shut.

3. My intention is not to make fun of the people but to show you all the lighter part of it.

4. This post is the result of my blogging mood which was outa topics to write on.

Okay... Lemme describe it in short.

First semester of Engineering. As you all might know, mine was the first batch. We had no seniors. Guess it was the second month of the semester. I got down from the bus and was walking towards the college to find two of my batchmates (none from my stream) quarelling with each other. Both of them were from the same locality. We could see them quarrelling with their drafters... (as knives??)

Swearing was superfluous. All the ninn **** na k*** (you can substitute anything for those asterisks) I was wondering for their creative scoldings. Few of my batchmates went ahead, grabbed both of them and seperated them while they were angrily kickin each other.

On investigation, we found the reason why. Both of them were in love (aaaaah!!) with the same girl. To add onto the complexity, even she was from the same locality and was the classmate of one of the quareller. I'm not here to describe that girl but the general notion built on that girl was that she is a devil when it comes to looks though she was good academically.

Both of them didnt speak to each other for months. Things went cooler later on and they began talking to each other. May be they were still secretly admiring the girl??!! I dont know. I dunno whether the girl knew all this quarelling stuff. I was least bothered to know. Nothing serious happened after this till we finished college.

If it was just this, I wouldnt have blogged it. After all, why would I?

Gotto know some facts after my college and hence this post.

I had a collegue in my office who came from the same school as the girl in this story came from. I need not mention that he was also from the same locality. He claimed to be notorious in the class sometimes and had teased this girl for bossing over the classmates for no reason. He and his gang wanted to teach her a lesson and teased her to hell. They made her cry several times. Well again the notion about the girl's look was almost the same as we had in our college.

Someday we had discussed about his school and his classmates. We had a lot of friends in common who came out from that school. While we were talking about our friends, the topic of this girl came and he described the way they teased that girl. I mentioned about the way two of my batchmates quarreled to love the same girl. He was laughing for a long while listening to this. He was wondering who would want to love that devil(??).

Though he was kinda mischievious, he used to get news of all his classmates. One day he said that the girl is getting married. He was wondering who was that bakra? Though I guess he went to the marriage. I dunno whether these quarrellers knew about the marriage.

Things moved forward. My collegue joined another company. One of the quarrelers who was also the girl's classmate joined the same company. They used to commute from the same cab and got to know each other. After the initial phase of friendship, my ex-collegue got to know that latter was my batchmate. He started discussing about me, our college, the discussed incidents I had told him.

One day, this conversation took place:

Collegue: Hey maga! do you know that girl?

Batchmate: Yes. She was my classmate.

C: Maga! we used to tease her a lot in school. She was full of attitude. Full scope ತೊಗೊತಿದ್ದ್ಲು maga!

B: Oh! is it? hu maga! She had that attitude.

C: Matte lo, Sandesh was telling that two of your batchmates quarrelled just to love her. I dont know maga? ಆ ಮೂತಿನೂ ಲವ್ ಮಾಡ್ಬೇಕು ಅನ್ನ್ಸತ್ತೇನೋ? ನಂಗಂತೂ ನಗು ತಡಿಯಕ್ಕಾಗ್ಲಿಲ್ಲ ಅವನ್ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದ ಕೇಳಿ. (Does anyone feel live loving that creature? I couldnt stop laughing once he said that.)

B: (baffled) ಹು ಮಗ! ಅಂಥವರು ಇದ್ದರು ನಮ್ಮ ಕಾಲೇಜ್ ಅಲ್ಲಿ. (Yeah buddy! we had such studs in our college.)

After this conversation, both of them had called me. First was my ex-collegue.

C: ಮಗಾ! B ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದ್ದ. ಅವ್ನು ಈಗ ನಮ್ಮ ಕಂಪನಿ ಸೇರ್ಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ. (Dude! I had met B, he works for our company now)
Sandesh: ಹೌದಾ ಮಗ? ಒಳ್ಳೇದು. (Oh Is it? good.)
C: ನಿನ್ನ್ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಕಾಲೇಜ್ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಎಲ್ಲ ಮಾತಾಡ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದ್ವಿ. (we talked about you, your college n stuff)
Sandesh: ಲೋ, ಅಂದಹಾಗೆ ಅವ್ನೆ ಕಣೋ ಆ ಹುಡುಗಿ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಜಗಳ ಮಾಡ್ಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದು. (btw, he was the quarreler on that girl's issue)
C: ಹೌದಾ ಮಗ?ಲೋ, ಅವಳ್ ವಿಷಯ ಎಲ್ಲ ಮಾತಾಡಿ ಆ ಜಗಳ ಮಾಡಿದೊವ್ರ್ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ನಗಾಡಿದ್ವಲ್ಲೋ? (Shit man! Is it? I laughed like hell on that issue buddy!!)
.........

After another 15 minutes, B had called me pretending casual. He just told me that he was working with my ex-collegue. ranted for a while (I could sense, kinda self pity, guilty conciousness in his voice) He never spoke a word on that girl's issue episode.

I was laughing once he cut the call.

Things move further, B got married last year. But whenever I meet my ex-collegue and talk abt this incident, we would be laughing like hell.

That ends the irony.

Another thread from my Enggy Days...

Stepped onto V semester.

We had , Operating Systems(OS), System Software(SS), Introduction to Unix, Computer Graphics(CG), Object Oriented Software Development(OOSD) and of course labs.

All was fine. Lemme tell you about the incidents that took place in that semester with a particular lecturer.

She was newly appointed in our college to handle System Software subject. I wont disclose her name. People who studied with me, would guess her name.

Checking out my III sem results and the IV sem happenings, senior lecturers who handled us, had a good impression on me. I'm not boasting. Just go to our college, even now and ask the teachers who handled us about me, they'll have the same opinion. Though some may say that I'm nuts, someone like whom this post is about.

These senior lecturers, imposed the image what they had on the new lecturers who had recently joined. They had also explained about those studs whom they aren't comfortable with too. I was in the former list as told before.

Now, this SS lecturer, first had a very good impression on me. She used to teach looking at me, most of the time thinking that I'm the bright stud there. Who knew all such things at that time? eh?

The text what we had for SS was pretty boring. Couldn't find interest in reading that. I was never reading that book unlike others that semester.

Come the first internals. First day, we had OS and SS i guess. IT was a monday. I concentrated on OS, My uncle had come home from Michigan, was spending time with him neglecting the sessionals. We'd been to "Doddaaladamara" near Bidadi, the previous day. I had taken the SS book so that I could read something in case I made some time. No use. I couldn't make time for that. Who wishes to read when your family is on a trip?

Okay! I wrote the sessionals. Ma'am was horrified granting me marks. First time in my Enggy career, I had got a single digit, 2 or 3 I guess. Not sure.

She distributed the marks sheet, after the class, she called me to the staff room.

Ma'am - Why Sandesh? What happened to you?
Sandesh - I'd been to a trip with my family. Will perform well in the coming internals ma'am.
M - You've got internals and you'd been to a trip? Are you joking?
S - No Ma'am, We had our uncle coming down all the way from US, he's leaving in another week or so. I thought of giving him company. Dunno when he'll come back.
M - Thats okay! Don't do it another time. Best of luck. :-)
S - Thanks ma'am! =)

One thing, she didn't notice right from the first ady of her class is, she didn't notice me and Susheem playing book cricket during her class. That was our usual routine in boring classes. We were not at all interested in SS. Dunno, the subject was too boring and was made even boring with this lecturer.

just two weeks before the second sessionals, we were caught red handed playing book cricket in her class. Previously, she didn't leave the dias, but now that she got that I'm not paying much interest into her class, she used to roam around. That fine day, we didn't notice her coming. She scolded us like hell and asked not to repeat it.

Since that day, The look she used to give while teaching, turned into a stare.

I scored 11 in my second internals. Failing to get a minimum of 15 as an average. I think, that was the first subject i failed to get a minimum in the internals.

Meanwhile, I was called by my senior lecturers, including the HOD, for the complaint lodged by our SS lecturer and was asked about my behaviour in her class. I just waved it off as a little mischief. They also didnt take it in a serious way. The belief they had in me was not that easily shakeable.

Right since the second internals, she used to get irritated by my presence in the class. She used to find one or the other reason to scold me and my benchers. The slang of hers, "No way! not at all a way" became quite common among our class. A couple of times, she denied attendance for me.

One fine day, in her class, she again, saw me playing "Byatarayanapura Vs Vidyaranyapura" match with susheem, She asked us to walk out. We happily walked out.

Another day, she saw me talking with Susheem and Daksha in her class. She made us stand in her class, scolded for 5 minutes and sent all three of us outa the class.

One fine day, she just sent me outa the class. She asked if anybody is interested in going out may do so. Daksha majestically came out making signs of "Whats the big deal? Makes no difference." right in front of her. Hehehe!

Somedays later, she was bugged up sending us out. She said, If you're coming only for the sake of attendance, you may please leave. I'll give attendance for all. She expected us to leave. We didnt. Since that day, she started neglecting us.

I somehow, managed to get a 24 in the third internals to get a minimum of 15 in the internals. Good that she didnt had the grudge in granting marks.

After that sem, she never took our class just for the reason that I'm there in that class. Huh! Can't help it.

There is nothing much in this post left apart from dedication. I dedicate this post to her. Hope this post kept you entertained for a while. =)

Is it the good old college days???

When I look at many of my friends album on social network sites like orkut, I see people attach their photos of college along with their friends and say "The good old college days!"

Huh! Whats the whole point in sayin that n not making a point to meet your collegemates at regular intervals?

Many of my friends, looking at some of my posts comment that "Maga! You made me recollect my college days!" I never feel like mentioning that coz I dont find any difference between my college days and these days where I'm working. ( Apart from the work (pathetic thing i do almost every weekday, sometimes even on weekend!) Hmph!)

I regularly meet my friends just like any other daily routine. Some of them, I meet almost everyday. Some of them once in a fortnight n some other lazy guys atleast once in a month. There are also friends whom i never meet because of their ego problems. Its not that I don't want to meet them. Its THEIR problem.

But still I almost remember them everyday. Its like what they call "Praathah smaraneeyaru" (Those who are supposed to be remembered once you get up!) I recollect atleast 6-8 of my friends everyday whom I'm in contact every week. I dont want to take names.

Even if I purposefully ask them about this, most of them reply saying, "Magaa! We've got lotsa work @ office! No time for friends! It would be great once we reach home asap. Whenever we egt some time, we wish to sleep!" Hmm! No comments on this.

So, the whole point is,

There is no sense in posting in a blog with a pic of their college n mates n say my good old college days. Neither in any social networking site. It should be in your soul to remember those who made your life worth living. ( Now don't bring in philosophy by sayin why should be life worth living always! I want this post to be lite! No philosophy intended. Will write about philosophy when i feel like. I belong to the same category if you are thinking in this direction)

Keep visiting your friends whenever you get some free time. Or rather make some time for your friends. I'm not asking you to reject all your work and compulsorily meet your friends. If you think you really are busy make a point to call 'em n discuss casually about some stupid stuff for atleast 5 minutes. You'll find the difference in you as well as your friend. He'll really feel good about your friends. (Though there might be friends who will be close even when they do not meet for years. Not many are like that.) You'll feel relieved and will be able to finish your work much better. Try it out!

Mundaaysing @ the IISc

Making myself some time to blog though i've been assigned a boringly stupid task since 4 weeks.

Dont get confused looking at the title with my previous posts on IISc. This is totally different one. One much before i came to know people at IISc.

Probably this was my first time going to the Tata Book House @ IISc. It was in my 4th semester of Engineering. As few of you might know that i had topped our class in 3rd semester. The annual day was conducted in our 4th semester and we (the toppers of 3rd semester, though i hate to get recognised that way) were asked to buy books of our choice in any outlet preferrably Tata Book House(TBH). It was the idea of our then Princi Prof. Anthony Thomas to get it from TBH as he was a professor @ IISc.

Four of us were asked to get books worth Rs.500/- from our pocket and were assured to refund it back but bills were supposed to be submitted. I had to get books for another 500 more in the same scheme as i was getting 500 more from my HOD Prof. Hemavathi as I had scored the maximum marks in her subject, Logic Design. I was happy that i would be purchasing books for Rs.1000/- which would be refunded. Hehe!! First time ever.

On the eve of Annual Day, I went to TBH getting Rs.1500/- from my father. 500 extra if I found something interesting. After a long search, i finalized on four books which i remember were

1. The Complete Reference UNIX
2. Compiler Design - Aho, Ullman & Sethi
3.
4.

(Will update once i remember all)

On adding up the prices of the four it had come upto Rs.1000/- and odd (Might be 1026), I thought that was sufficient and asked them to bill it! Only then I came to know that they were offering 20% discount. After the rebate, it came down to Rs.876/-. I was even more happy that i could buy some more books to patch up the difference between 1000 and 876. I found another book, Discrete Mathematics by C.Liu and asked them to add it onto the bill. I had asked them to bill them seperately into two bills so that i can give one to Princi and the other to HOD. After adding another book to one of the bill, instead of going up, it came down to Rs.786/-. I couldn't get the thing properly. How can it get low?? Even the shop owner, a lady of say 45-50 then who added up manually asked me to get only 786 rupees. I was confused and paid her the amoun, took the books and was going out but my mind was all calculating how can this be possible???

I came home thinking the same. Took the bills and started tallying. It didnt take long for me to find that she had cut the discount price of the book rather than adding onto it. I felt triumph at that instant getting to know that i had saved a bit. I will be having some money with me after getting the thing re-imbursed. I was happy for that! I had narrated the whole story to my friends to get a pat on my back for my deed.

I got it re-imbursed and spent the money in a good way getting more books. But later, i felt bad for what happened. I didnt had the bills by then to make the correction rectified.

Was cribbing within for some days for this when i realised that i had my misfortune with somebody else some other day. That was her day of misfortune. And even she'll have a day of fortune. This is merely fortunate to experience such incidents. I then decided not to cheat somebody this way. I hadn't cheated her but had walked away in confusion. I must not give reasons says another part of my mind.

Everytime I go to TBH, i recollect this incident which is why I wrote this as I had been to TBH yesterday! Hope this brought some smile on your face or some serious thought!

Thats it for today! Have fun! \m/

Most satisfied theory paper attended!

Let me go back to my engineering days!

It was my first year of Engineering. Was in my second semester. Physics cycle. Had Mechanical workshop(theory n pracs), 'tricals, physics(theory n pracs), Mathematics =), Strength Of Materials, Engineering Graphics. These were my subjects. We had some amazing lecturers! Will dedicate a seperate post for all lecturers n teachers i've encountered! Lemme finish this post.

Mechanical was handled by Sudheendra a.k.a Terminatra for his actions being so close to the robot(Sometimes, drafter in the hand like a gun! Hehe!!). SOM was handled by Anilkumar(Was supposed to be handled by Jade Dattatri of KREC, but we missed it out.) Even he was cool! PHysics was takn by Hitha Shetty n the sleepy Jyothi ma'am! Oops! Feelin sleepy takin her name on a monday afternoon(Afta lunch!). Gosh, she was so, so, so boring! Never got a single word what she taught! They say she is a Gold medallist! Aah!

Tricals was handled by ever smiling Manjula Pai! She was just finishin her portions so fast n we were not upto her pace! We sometimes dint understand something at all! I still remember gettin a 11/25 for the first time(Neva got that low!) Was afraid of gettin 15 in Tricals. Graphics was handled one and only Srikant Prabhu! I was finding no problem with him, but he was finding a lot in all of us! He used to just stare at us like anything! I was never pin-pointed though! Well thats a different case alltogether!

Now comes the favorites of all! MATHEMATICS! Aah! I'd like more of it anytime! We had Laplace Transforms, Differential Equations, Beta-Gamma Functions, bit of Vector Calculus, Infinite series also i guess! I had read most of themin my first sem hols! Finished LT in a day, Differential Eqns was just a cakewalk! Beta Gamma functions was easy according to akka. I dint try to read it. Thought i'll read it later. Was not interested in Vector n dint concentrate on that most! Had books of my sister n was just goin thru all stuff from her book.

Our second semester started! My first sem results were out! I was dejected by that! Those were the days when i was expecting much! These are the days where i dont even expect anything! Change was since my second semester. I was unhappy with my second sem results n was always feelin alone! Meanwhile, manythings had happened n i was hardly speakin to say a few (2-6) people! Thats it! Was just enjoyin classes! No pranks!! Every second i was free, i was at library! Was takin the Hefty Kreizieg, n was just reading it! Not much went in, but i was passin time like anything reading that! Was readin about things we have in that book! He was givin where exactly those things were used! I liked that part of it! Was wondering where they were applyin such things all these days n was gettin a vague idea bout things!

Meanwhile, we were attending classes from the "DM" Dhananjaya Murthy(we called him 'thaamra'). A lecturer from Shivamogga! Used to just pass time solving the problems he gave! That was cool! Math classes were just fun enjoyin! ( I recollect one of my classmates in SVVK, getting jacked by his math lecturer just fo writing MATHS is FUN on his book! Dunno why he was screwed! ). Just solving problems! That was coooooool! =)

I was just doin maths all the semester! Sometimes was concentrating on SOM! Even that was cool!

Exams came. Maths was the second last subject. Everything went good! All papers were relatively easy! We finished four theories. Left are two! Maths n Graphics. Now, i was okay with graphics. We had 2 days to read about graphics. But before that we had maths wherein we had 5 days to prepare! I was wondering what to do for 5 days?? Hadnt touched Maths since 2 months. Last time i opened the book was in my second internals where i got my average to 25 out of 25. Dint even wrote the third sessional( It was including Vector Calculus, I thought, okay! Lemme skip it! I've got 25/25). I was not prepared for vector calculus.

We had five days! I thought, lemme finish a novel i had taken up way back in my II PUC holidays. It was Parva, by S.L.Bhairappa. That was his Mahabharatha. Really a good read. Had just read some 150 pages of 500. Thought i'll finish the book n then start reading maths. It was then i realised that i have gone slow in reading. I took 4 days to complete that book! All these days, I was just readin that novel n nothing else. The next day, i thought of reading. Unfortunately, my cousins had come home since 4-5 years n i had to spend time with them. Watched the movie "Upendra" for the first time at a stretch. That was the first telecast of the movie on small screen. How could i miss it?? Enjoyed with my cousins till 8. Had my dinner n then started to brush up things in a hurry! Had lots to do. Havent even checked a single letter since two months. Just recollected the methods to solve in Laplace. Tried out some problems in Differential Equations. Dint ever tried to check out beta gamma functions. Just went thru the formulas of Vector calculus. It was 11 n i went to sleep.

Was totally afraid about the exams. Was not even knowin the basic things fully. Just brushed up more while i commuted in route 2 bus (now route 5). Came to college. Just discussed my condition with my friends. Some of them were in my condition( Dunno whether if its true!!). 5 mins before exam n i dint knew how to get prepared for the exam. Was so afraid. Anyhow, in any of the exams, i was not afraid of failing. Not even in the exam when they failed me for the first time, Thats a different story! Will blog it soon. The one n only O.S, that post must be even interesting...). I had prepared myself something that i wouldnt fail.

Enter the exam hall. That was graphics room. We were lack of rooms. We were placed in the graphics hall. Well my handwriting was bad on a flat desk. It got worse on a slanted drawing board. Got the answer sheet. Filled it up. Beside me was Vinay Kumaran is all i remember. We were given the question paper n the questions were not as what i expected. Some new kinda question. Dint find it in any text i read. I took the first problem. Tried solving it. I wasted the first page solvin it but i found that the question was itself wrong. I wrote it on the paper scratching the whole page. "Question itself is wrong". Well thats arrogant.

Forgot the format of the paper. I tried the 5 mark questions first n then went on for the 10 marks. to my surprise, i was applying techniques of Laplace Transforms in Beta Gamma functions. I had never read Beta gamma functions n i found the similarity between them, I solved all problems of Beta Gamma functions using laplace transforms. On the whole i solved problems of Laplace transforms, Differential equations, and the infinite series. Surprisingly, i had coveredfor 110 marks. I still had an hour to go n dint knew what to do. I had left out all problems in vector calculus. Had some 10 pages remaining in the answer sheet. As I have done for 100 marks, i thought of getting up n going but i dint do that. Lemme try even these problems, i thought n i tried solving them. I just applied the formulae i had read thru yesterday n voila!! I got the solution. Took 15 minutes for each vector related problem. There were 5 or 6 i guess. Attempted most. With the time i got, i was able to try only 4 i guess. I was trying the fifth n the bell rang. Supervisor just grabbed the paper.

People were going out saying that the paper was tough, but i found it so easy that i had attempted atleast for 144 marks. I had never got such satisfaction attending a paper. Just came out. I saw my friends n they said that they had done for 110-115. I had gone crazy n bluffed to all my friends that i could attempt only for 75-80 marks. They said that they found the paper was so easy! I explained that i wasnt prepared n i wasted my time like anything.

It was over. We headed for the bus. I just told srikanth, the only person i was close in those days that the paper was good n if i dont get a minimum of 85, the evaluator doesnt know how to correct.

Graphics exam got over. I found it pretty difficult. Now came the holidays. We enjoyed a months' vacation. Then came third semester. 1st September, 2002. We had planned that we will boycott the uniform in the college! (uniforms in college??? Nah!!). I purposefully was not wearing uniform, i thought that everybody will not wear uniforms. But for my surprize, except three(including me) everybody were wearing uniforms. No unity. We went to college n our than princi, Anthony Thomas, Professor @ IISc, was unhappy with us. He threw us out for the day warning us that we should wear uniforms. I started for home cursing all my classmates n collegemates who promised of not wearing uniforms.

The next day, 2nd of September, 2002(dunno how these dates remain in my mind! They are just in some location in my mind n the de-allocator is not called on those locations hehe!!), I came to college wearing the uniform tucking out as a protest against wearing uniforms. Was climbing the stairs n DM asked me about how i did in my maths exams?? I said, okay! not bad! It was okay! "I had attended for say 120" I said. Then i asked why?? He said "No no! Leave it!" and he went.

I was indifferent. Went to class to find that the results are getting announced on that day. I knew that it would be a repetition of the first sem results. By that time, i had attained nirvana about marks. I was not expecting anything. Guess it was third period. Principal, HOD of CS Dept, Hemavathi ma'am, n our SOM lecturer Anil Kumar came to our room with the results sheet. They were about to announce. They were pretty happy with our results. They said there is a special attraction in the results of our class and they'll let us know about it later. First they announced the leaders. I stood nowhere in the top 5 i guess. I dint feel anything. Then, Ma'am announced that somebody in our class has got 100 out of 100 in our class and that is Sandesh Karanth. Hehe! I was not at all expecting that. Everyone was so surprised about that!! Ours was the first batch in the college n i was the first person to get a 100 in any subject in the history of our college. I couldnt believe it! Just couldnt believe it! I was congratulated by one n all for that n i felt happy! Just recollecting that moment. Still makes me feel so happy about that.

I was greeted by people whom i didnt knew! Those who had ego problems with me. I was surprised by such things. Some people who knew me(from other class) came to my class asking who is sandesh karanth?? they knew me without knowing my name! hehe! It all happened! I was not that happier even when i stood first in my third semester. They said that in the whole university, only 8 had got 100/100 n i was one among them! I felt "Coooooooooool"!!!

Still if i recollect those things, i feel so happy! That gave me a seperate recognition in the college. Even now, if i go to college, people treat me remembering that incident.

This remains the dream paper attended by me! I value it so much not becoz i scored a hundred in that! Its 'coz i attended a paper without any preparation and got the satisfaction of attending an exam. This will remain THE PAPER in my life.

Just thought of sharing this in blog!

As always, do post yo comments. Will blog more frequently making time fo it!
