Post 3:Internal Affairs!

OK..This is going to be a little tricky..My memory is betraying me.It's giving haath !![Ashwin coined that term by the way:P]I'm not sure if we went to Muninagar before or after internals.Lets not digress.Assuming that the date doesn't matter I'll carry on with my monologue.
I've somehow always always been staunch and diligent as far as internals have been concerned.I've been ridiculed a billion times for that,even been derided a couple of times.And unsurprisingly I haven't made any attempt to change that. You see the reason I'm so staunch is simply because I'm a big fat lout when it comes to unleashing my non-existent skills that my classmates are endowed with. Their success stories span so far and wide that even I, the stubborn critic can't help but admire and laud them. I thought I'll spread the joy and make their exploits well known;)
The paragon for people like me definitely has to be..Manju and Arpitha
Arpitha for her flawless imitation of being the perfect student and her stupendous confidence with which she carries out her work .[And also for having written internals for the wrong paper!!!Beat that!!!]
Manju for being the boldest, unabashedly reckless student who was honored by the Principal himself with the coveted novel 'Alchemist' for having figured in the list of the top scoring students!!:P
Notable among the others are Nandini, for her eclectic mix of talent in understanding the psyche of the teachers to predict the questions that would appear and her compass like sense-of-direction while determining the seating arrangements of the people who surround her.
Deepika, relying on her intuition to decide if the time and is favourable for copying ,Archana for her innovative answer hunting techniques. Chotu,Manisha,Ipsita,me are on the side of boring virtue and bland goodness.
Micros, Writing Out of the class , and endless hours of discussion for procuring the question paper..Man!!I thank my stars for not having made my friends as boring as I am!Glad that their esoteric talents have never failed to impress upon the importance of courage and confidence in me. I hope this continues for all eternity!Or atleast be imprinted in my unreliable memory for ever!:)

Post 2:Unemployment or Funemployment?!!

Well the saga of 7Th semester continues..Rather the raga continues..With every moment honey coated with the conked up jokes that the gangsters of 13B[literally:P!!] come up with.The next significant event that came up was the placements.Attending placements is like going a wedding.You dress up.You go with the hope of giving your taste buds a vacation from the mundane food,only to realize that you're in the wrong wedding hall and your presence is no longer solicited!Gaudy dresses replaced by bland formals,the gift to the bride and the groom analogous to the embarrassingly little technical skills of the resume.NDS ,NetApp ,Subex ,NI..the companies comeand go .End result..no one from A section gets placed!!This reality is somehow oddly comforting,sometimes even soothing to the very core!It isn't every year that a bunch of the 40+ EC crowd[read- brillianter than the brilliantest] do not get placed by any of the big shot companies!We're creating history here!The twin brains somehow manage to make a guest appearance in all the interviews .The story never goes beyond that.I wish they could show their twin middle fingers to the interviewer the next time they're shown the door!I mean.. common!If they don't make it,what hope do half baked brains like me have?!!For all our sakes I fervently hope that the twins get placed!and then may be we can placate them to treat us[:P].Okay okay..! My imagination goes outside the realm of possibility sometimes!
So bottom line--Who am I now?!!
The seal in the picture above!Someone not placed.. fat and unemployed..someone who's going to turn up to the Aricent placement tomorrow minus the formals and the resume.
Hopefully I'll be able to smile back at this post in a few years time finding it churlish and actually be placed and thin and employed!![to be read as ..rich,famous,smart and owns a private jet]
As for now I've a feeling my IQ will drop ten points if I continue penning down this nonsense..So..Peace out!

First day of the Final year!!

I write this post with the sole intention of making a chronicle of the seventh semester.I do this mainly because the past few days have left me awed and frustated..Awed because every day has brought with it joys and surprises I couldn't fathom; frustated because the days seem to be escaping from my hand like sands of time.Stupid unreliable time!
Anyway my first day in the Final year[I'm a senior now!;)]I see the the people who matter the most in my favourite place..C bench..I smile a big smile ..[which i rarely do..] at everyone ,thrilled to see every one of them,following which we start trotting the campus to find our classes..Up on the 6th floor[which we walked to btw..!] I take in all enormity of the scene and the situation.The fact that my "happy" days are numbered hits me,giving me a physical jolt somewhere within the depth of my being.I see the perpetually happy girl Arpi,my mood brightens up and we sneak into the 7th floor..and actually try a few dance moves..We talk,we tease,we laugh..just the usual routine..yet so profound in many ways..
And few question here..my memory is getting hazier by the day,,
Did we eat lunch that day?!what did we do after we came down?!!
I dunno what I was thinking when I started writing this post!Damn!It's impossible to compress and cram everything into a single post..!
Know what?!It isn't right to leave out the beautiful moments of this semester..So I'm just going to take it slow..and enjoy the process of penning them down ..:)
