All right... so finally the days passed and we had the mid terms rolling.... My first paper was Funda"mental" Thermodynamics... One of the subjects that I call as 'a tangent to me'.. the concepts of the course didn't go inside my brain but just touched the outer side of it. Somehow,I managed to get a few concepts...I knew that its not going to go very good but I just wanted it to be okok...

September 18,2008

I woke up by 7.45 am. We had our papers from 8.30am. I got ready and then had breakfast. And then reached the room where I had to sit. A night before I had inquired from the seniors if there are students with a zero in the 1st mid terms... the reply was positive. so I was a bit relieved.I thought I wont be the only one to get a zero. Now that shows my confidence level. My friend Devavrata had prepared well enough.. I was quite sure that he wont score a zero at least. The answer sheets and the question papers were distributed.

My comment on the questions--- "It would not have made much of a difference if the question paper was in french or german language!!!!" I was not able to get any of the questions.. (forget about the solutions..).. but but but...... I can't just give away a blank paper.. I need to do something.. So I had to use the last weapon...and I was quite an expert when it comes to this.... yeah I guess you must have guessed it.... "CHEATING"..... infact I would say cheating is an essential part of exam. I mean that's the reason why we have invigilators..... they throw us a challenge... "can you cheat in my presence??" and I love challenges that's why I cheat. And don't think its easy.... you need to have ample amount of experience and talent. My past record in this field has been awesome. Exchanged papers in XIIth pre-boards...that was really impressive..and I miss that......

Anyways getting back to the examination hall...... I had 58 minutes in hand to cheat (the time duration for the test was 60 minutes... 2 minutes passed in reading the questions).. I made a strategy there and then (yeah everything requires proper planning). Now I can't exchange papers here.. so I need to copy as much as I can from wherever possible. Devavrata was sitting near by.. all right...so he'll help me out with question no.1.The girl right in the front didn't really care about covering the answer sheets ((so nice of her ;-) ))..so yeah question no. 2 from there...and i guess they'll give about 30% marks and that's all I want... I can't just cheat and get more than the average marks..that would not be fare. So I had 51 minutes remaining now.. I looked at the invigilator sitting.. searched for an angle so that I can hide with the help of the girl in front... and I finally got it...I had to put my head down on the desk..I looked at Devavrata and waved my hands slowly..he responded. I showed 1 with the help of my fingers (or I mean my one finger).. he showed me the solution and I was successful in looking at the marks fetching points and I played with those formulae for sometime thinking that I might just get out something from it. I did some stuffs for some time. I left a few pages so that i can go for question no. 2 as I saw the girl going for it. Now I had very less time I can't ask the girl to show it again and again so I had only one chance.."as the girl writes I will write" I decided... but I was quite agitated soon...I was not able to see the actual answer...
.. the question asked to define something..
I looked at her answer sheet... I began reading it ....
The (XXX) is defined as the...and then there was her pencil box kept right above it..... I waited for sometime,prayed to god.. "plz somehow displace her pencil box!!!" and well not instantaneously but after 1 min she did it... I grabbed the oppurtunity.. read her answer sheet as fast as I could have.....finally succeeded!!!!copied the key portions...... I glanced at the watch..still 29 minutes remaining..I didn't want to try much after that.. as I wanted to get marks by "cheating fairly"..so primary target was achieved therefore I used the last 29 minutes for my sleep..................
next page coming up soon..................keep checking.........

well so that was not cool at all but anyways ..these things are going to happen.....
It had been more than a month now in college..... so all the fun had to stop. Because there was something that is really hated by many of us,loved only by the toppers and first benchers(probably) and yeah to a lot extent girls in my college. "EXAMINATION"!!!
Like a normal... perfectly normal guy.. I hated exams.. but yeah I must appreciate the fact that I am never nervous because of it.As the mid terms approach closer the population in library increased..... intelligent people getting back to work.I had thought earlier that I won't ever go to library..but my decision changed. I just went to check out the library one day....and came to know that all the beautiful girls actually study in the library.. so there I was with books,notebooks and a pen... into the library..not to study but yeah to check out the girls and hope that someday sometime.. a girl will come and sit beside me. I began visiting the library quite often.But as expected none of the girls really bothered to sit anywhere near me..and that's sensible as well, why should girls come to library to sit beside me. But all this did a bit good to me ..yeah I did study some of the pages of the course books....
I did the same thing daily for 5-6 days...and on the 6th day
14th september,2008
I found the same girl in the library "the professor incident girl"....I thought it was the best moment to go and talk to her..and also thought that I will not think more about should I or shouldn't I?? so I just reached her table..saw her reading Physics. It struck me right then.."what if she asks me something related to physics if I sit on the same table"..( I completely hate physics and moreover I didn't study for the past month so I am damn dull in it). She was peeping into the book and I slowly walked away so that she doesn't notice. I sat on the table right behind her and faced her back....I opened my book and started studying (which as expected).. I was not able to do.
After 10-15 minutes.....
I said to myself "enough is enough...how can I be so dumb??? Its no big deal in going to a girl and talking to her....".. I stood immediately.....
but sat down again as immediately as I stood...
I thought why not ask something related to physics.....it will be a good reason.... yoyoyoyo
now this time I stood up confidently....went to her table....
"Hi.."... said I..
"Oh hi.." said she
I-"hey what are u studying??"
She-"this is the physics book,don't u know???"
How rude was that..she could have simply said physics...
I-"Oh yeah,of course I know..infact that's why I came here..I actually have a doubt..can you help me out with this???"
She-"well I don't know but let me see.."
I-"Yeah..here it goes... why is the torque in this example zero???"
She-"great doubt......!!!!....its not written anywhere that it is zero"
III-3 was this......
But somehow my presence of mind showed up.....
I-" oh did I say its zero....ah sorry I meant to ask why is it not zero???"
She-"great doubt again....its easy..u have "r" given.. u know the force on the wheel "F".. and the angle between them is 90.. so by rXF formula we have a torque......."
I stood in silence. (was thinking how can I ask such an easy question I should have checked what I was about to inquire) I was waiting for my presence of mind to show up again with a very good reason......and lo!!! I said-"Crap..I thought the angle between them was zero...hehhehe" I laughed but she didn't....
I-"hey seems like you are good at physics..."
She-"No dude"
I-"so now it seems like you are not so good at physics....hehehe" I laughed again but she didn't... I thought she is a bit under pressure because of exams may be that's why she is not in a mood to laugh.
I-"okay.. so you carry on....see you later..byeee"
She-"k,byee"
I got out of the library....and began thinking.....
I actually went to her so that I can talk for sometime....well I did that but the conversation could have been better.... far more better had I not brought torque as the topic....
........keep checking next post in a few days............

well I was sitting in the lecture theatre... the professor was yet to come. I was sitting all alone in the row.... and well right then..... I saw a girl or I mean another girl ...(beautiful...of course that's y I'm mentioning this)..... And my good luck bell rang for the first time in the campus......u know why???

She came and sat in the same row....... that was cool.... she had long hair... very silky...n...shiny.....

fortunately I had taken a bath that morning.....yoyoyo m/ ...

I said to myself.... "should I talk to her??....what should I say??....how to begin a conversation??

"All right I'll begin by asking if she is from first year.....but that will be amongst the dumbest question......."

"may be I should directly ask her name.....yeah that should be better.....but that would be a very casual way of beginning a conversation.....I need to be different.......may be I should directly ask her branch...... or may be............ or may be............or may be.............and then the professor arrived... nonetheless I thought may be I will begin chatting with her within the next 20 minutes for sure....

after 15 min 43 seconds.........

I thought now I should somehow begin the conversation....... the proffesor turned his back towards us so that he can write on the black board.....now was the instance..... I looked at her and guess what.... she looked at me right then........

I said "hi"........

She said-- "hi....(with a smile that was hypnotic)....and as a result I was hypnotized.....I just stared at her for the next 3-4 seconds..... I got back into my senses when a manly voice came into the picture......

"Yes.. mr. ..

excuse me...."

I looked at the man..... yeah that was my professor..

I replied or rather stammered..... "ye ye yes sir..??"

Professor-" could you please pay attention here..."

I just apologized......

Now that's another Idiotic Impossible Incident....... although not so impossible but still... why does it happen with me..... that was badly embarassing. The girl laughed.... was that a good sign.... was it the case of ladki hasee to phasee..... or was she laughing cuz I made a fool of myself...?????

Big question.... but the incident stopped me from the conversation any further.I just sat still....with my eyes on the book.....tried to keep my head as still as possible.
