Run up to placements === part 1


hey frnds m writing after a long long time...........but this is 1 phase of my life which i wanted to script down since a long time........it all started frm the oct last year...........the most awaited moment of our career......it was none other than our placements......the buzz was already around that companies gonna visit early this time......and the tension and excitement was already building up.

so the process started with our so called ppt( PRE-PLACEMENT TRAINNG ) classes ....... and the stuff which these companies ask for written test is nowhere close to engg standard........it was all normal common sense maths thing wid the grind of those dreadful english vocabs.the ppt classes begun and since then we never knew wen our day started and wen it came to end...........normal classes frm 10 that stretched to 5 in the evening..............then just 1 hr break and we had to rush back to attend ppt classes.

so the first day was quite a day for us......wid the long lecture of Mr Sujit pradhan........supposed to teach us personality development ( though wid his beards on he himself looks no less than osama )......and the experience was quite painful ...he went on and on self-prasing himself wid his so called 101 national and intertaional certificates and blah blah blah........and the kind of unbearable accent he has... he was in no mood to stop...........and that day only i knew that i m not gonna attend his class atleast.english mam was ok types but her rule sort of thing to take test at the end of every class made her very unpopular .... obviously among us.it all went upto 9 and till we had our dinner and reached our rum ....it was already 10..........so it was a 12 hr grind for us.......and after reaching rum we always had to arrange any movie to refresh our body and soul( ya movies r the best way to do it ).it all went on to become more and more hectic ........ most of the time we used to have our breakfast,lunch and dinner in the same clothes wid our bags and bfor entering our rum even 1ce......as the days passed on more and more tension gripped our minds.........and wid it the new year too announced its entry ........ bringing the actual dates of 1st comp visiting our campus quite close.

In jan it was time for tests ,tests and then more tests ........ they even started a 24 hr test rum where any1 can go anytime and test his skills on 10th standard maths..........and that boring english grammar ........ and all the rules that mam taught us.........infact intuition worked better than the rules coz more grammatical mistakes used to occur wen we followed the grammatical rules wat mam taught us.GD( group discussion ) practices also started ( yeah some comps have an extra round called gd....u can call it Bull fighting).the very first gd which i was a part of was no less than a fish market where ppl were just fighting around wid their voice and miss shweta tyagi being my opponent.......left every guy in my grp dumbstruck wd the sheer intensity of her voice.in all these hectic moments ..... the sole kool time that we used to spend was canteen ...... but thr also only placements talks were making rounds.
came feb and every1 started showing bit seriousness now.........wid every1 solving maths from 10th class........learning vocabs from the list of words that they gave ( i tell u mugging up those 500 words was 1 sort of PITA).......now i was discussing maths in chats also wid miss chits everyday coming up wid a new ques.........and while doing it i used to say her that we always gonna rem these days......though how much we cursed those days............it was no doubt fun and an experience of its own kind...................till the 1st company arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That LEGENDARY "very good" paper


hey frnds........i m back after a bit of extended break.....all coz the classes have restarted...........though we havent got so much busy( xams rnt thr)..........but still lots of other non-study related stuffs take our time.................then also i culdnt stop myself putting this 1 account of the very 1st day of our coll after dp vacations...........which is full of hillarious moments..............all the credit goes to Nirmal and his L . E . G . E . N (wait for it) D . A . R . Y act.

so on the eve of our 1st day after vacations we werent feeling even a bit of excitement .......... though coll reopening after a break of 2 weeks should have been enough to fill us wid all the fervour........but i guess ppl in engg feel more comfort staying in home rather than attending those boring classes.................and we r no different than those species.

i was also thinking and was bit down even wid the thought of again attending those 5 long periods on monday.....................but never ever imagined thaton the very first day we gonna have a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ............. so the story goes like this...........it was AI( artificial intelligence) period ........ and our very own HOD (head of cs department) and probably the koolest teacher on the block.......... came wid our mid-sem papers ........ bringing wid it a lot of useless excitement and buzz among those shitty front benchers.................we backbenchers were as usual normal as xam papers r not the kind of stuffs which gonna incite any excitement within us................we 4 got our papers............and marks( out of 30) in acsending order were like this................Kannu got 18 ....... i got 22 ...... Abhinav got 25 .............. and the Best 1 ............ Ladies and Gentlemen the one and only ........ the legend of AI ......mr Nirmal Jha ................. just managed to get his half marks cut and got a bloody 29.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now the story starts here..............do u ppl rem wen we used to get comments on our xam papers ... comments like ( very good,excellent,well done)...........nowdays kids r awarded 5 stars on their copies if they behave well in class as abhinav's nephew got..................newayz those were the good old days ......... probably in class 4 or 5 wen we were kids......................but HOLD ON.......................isnt this Engineering.............whr we rnt supposed to have these kiddish things on our paper.....................but the pride of Backbenchers .............. mr nirmal ( i have started Mr since that day out of sheer respect that the comments on his paper generates) ..............not only he got 29.5 out of 30 ( bringing in lots of speculation among front benchers and toppers who dont get a clue that how a backbencher like him can score so much) ............. but GOT a " VERY GOOD" remarks on his paper................probably the first time in the history of any engg student ........... and just the sight of watching this unusual stuff on nirmal's paper brought in 3 of us a pill of uncontrolable laughter that we culdnt stop even though teacher was in the class.................we 3 as usual were in no mood to let this legendary sort of act to pass by and decided to celebrate in our own Grand way ................. so it statrted wid a kool video shoot of nirmal's paper ......... whole paper was scanned .... keeping in mind it can help the future legends of AI!!!!!!!!!...........and it was no less than any1s expectation ......... all the ans xactly according to wat teacer gave us in the notes ( surprisingly he didnt write the bookish stuffs................how intelligent of nirmal naaa!!!!) .......... all the fig. made wid pencil!!!!!!!!( i hardly rem wen i took any pencil to xams ) ........... a neat and clean paper wid 10 out of 10 in every question ....... just half maks were cut in some ques ( must have slipped out of AI's legend's (obviously nirmal yaar) mind)...............the live commentry of the video was officially provided by none other than kannu.
after video shoot ....it was the turn of our very own pics wid the legend Nirmal.........ohhhh sorrry.........not wid Nirmal.............actually wid his legendary " VERY GOOD" paper...............and i tell u i never felt so proud ever in my life..............all this nautanki in the last bench was going on wen teacher was discussing some imp stuffs at the front.............but who cares wen we have got such a legendary situaion wid us..................and we throughly enjoyed ............ culdnt control our laugh................and bechara nirmal .......... his legs were aching till then..........all coz the the leg pulling he has got frm 3 of us!!!!!

So the very 1st day was a blast and ver proud day for us...................coz a backbencher got "very good" in his paper( though he will repent it thruout his life coz the kind of nautanki we did after that) .............. and hamare sar ko uncha kiya .......................... at the end i will like to say just 1 thing ...
WE R PROUD OF U NIRMAL.....................Hi5 for BACHBENCHERS.

hey wait 1 ques left...................i wrote 3 whole pages .... totally filled it ........ i dont know wid wat crap..............but still got mere 0.5 in that ans ........... will any1 explain y the hell was so????????????????????????
