Hi !
I'm creating this blog as i'm sitting jobless in a company called HALCROW under the banner of the very essential and important aspect of engineering , i.e , INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.
So here i go.............
It was the time of exams. The intellection of flunking in the most dreaded subject in Civil Engg. was haunting me 24x7. One week before exams and I left everything in God's name and started studying GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING which had become my first priority as I was able to get a ignominious total of just 7.5 out of 30, which finally became 15 on 40, thanks to the Prof. for giving 7.5 out of 10 to my unworthy assignment.
After some days the exams started and all of them went pretty decent, not explosive also ( generally termed as "phod diya" in college lingo ). But, geo was yet to come, as it was the last paper. Just three days before Geo paper I got the biggest shock of my life. Since it was a third year subject, it was in the morning shift while our exams were usually in the evening shift. This meant that I was going to get just one night to load my canons with freight of Geotech. crap.

Just three days before Geo paper I got the biggest shock of my life. Since it was a third year subject, it was in the morning shift while our exams were usually in the evening shift. This meant that I was going to get just one night to load my canons with freight of Geotech. crap.
Just two days before the Geo paper, i.e , the day before the FM paper, I was feeling very lethargic. I couldn't study at all for that paper as I caught cold and was suffering badly with bodyache accompanied with fever. Due to this, I was just able to jot down the important formulae and definitions on that very day in the morning. Luckily, the Question paper was set very easy and my performance was satisfactory and the girls, as usual, raped the paper. As soon as the exam got over I rushed to my room to get some sleep as I had to swot up for tomorrow's paper, as my room-mates call it the power nap. I got up from sleep, had my dinner and started studying apace. I slept for just 2 hours that night gazing through B.C.Punmia's masterpiece. I left many topics in between, whichever I found both time consuming and difficult to memorise. I had to manage time judiciously to spare time for numericals which I do wrong everytime ( in Geo only ).
Finally THE day came, and I was just half an hour away to face the challenge. As soon as I reached my dept. I saw girls muttering those endless sentences at lightning speeds, which is the scene everytime, but today it scared the hell out of me. I thought that I was going to write the story of my grief in this very room. I started thinking of coming for STC ( Summer Term Course ) and all that shit. The bell rang and I could feel the blood rushing through my body at tremendous pace and my heart pulsating at an unusually high speed. The moment I entered the examination room there was just one thing in my mind......"Oh! You Almighty God. Help me ....". I sat down and there came the self proclaimed BOND of our class "Shankar" , overflowing with confidence, as he walked in. Looking at me with a smile, the first words that came out of his mouth were " Don't worry.....Main hu na........we will rape the paper." He was so cool at that moment that I started feeling envious of him & wanted to nail him up in the ass. He started passing remarks about the teacher and his ever favourite topic 'Girls'. The teacher entered and started distributing the papers while Mr. 007 was engulfed in checking out girls. His comments were diverting my attention and so with no other option left I had to take out some bad words from my lexicon and hurl at his face. I got the paper and when I read the questions, things began to fade away from my mind due to the tautness. I kept my cool and started writing. I didn't stop even for a minute but kept on writing whatever and in whichever form it was coming in my mind. There were instances when I actually understood the phenomenon while writing it down. My ability of applying a formula at the right place was in complete shambles, as I mentioned above that I was writing anything. I wrote my last lines and was passably satisfied with my performance. The three hours of psychic trauma had ended and it was the time to have a blast as the exams were over. I stood up from my chair and went to discuss the paper with my friends who had started aggrouping outside the room. Just as I reached there, whoever glanced at me said just one thing " What happened to your face ?........Your face looks reddish......" I didn't pay any heed to them and continued with the discussion as the thought of flunking was impaling me. After sometime that also ended and we headed onto the chai shop outside the campus as usual after every exam.
Now the question arises did I bring home the bacon ? I'll answer this in the next post , i.e , "The Wockhardt Trance"
