Practicals...!!


As usual, this is a post after a rather long time, owning to the fact that i do not get time to sit, think and type at the same time due to lack of time. Just had my S3 survey practical yesterday and with that done, S3 is all wrapped up(hopefully) though in order to confirm it we have to anxiously await the results which will be arriving shortly. Yes, and yesterday morning, well i was tensed, come to analyse, its pretty interesting.
The first time I had to do practicals was back at school, in my 9th standard i believe, where we used to have chemistry and physics practicals, I must admit I was never all that impressed by those, maybe because of the sole reason that all the things we did were pretty inefficient. Anyway I dint have a practical exam back then, so we used to consider lab hours as free hours, nd have a gala time. But slowly as we entered the 11th standard, we realised the reality, that we had to give an exam at the end of 12th. I was least bothered initially, but slowly realisation dawned and i started becoming serious with it. Neway i soon realised the hard way that having a serious and studious "study" can in no way help you in practicals, its an entirely different deal alltogether.
Finally we were there in the exam hall, and for chemistry i still remember loosing all my patience and finally resorting to copy from my adjacent guy's answer sheet who had in turn done the same from his neighbour :| All of us were busy trying to fool the external teachers, finally after a combined effort by all the 30 students in that hall, all of us managed to pass :) Remember the fact that this was our board exam, if we had in any way been caught.....
The I was into college, at my arogant , ignorant best I was, least serious and all casual in my 1st year(result was not too good obviously, but still it was not that bad !!), and I went and wrote all the exams without even realising the fact that people fail in exams :| The point is that i was least concerned. But then at the end of it all came the practicals(workshop to be precise), and that was the 1st time since i entered college that I felt a certain kind of uneasiness, had I taken my casual attitude a bit too far? would I fail?? supply ?:'(
But I was lucky that time as well, I guess everyone was, as none failed( i think..) All that anxiety was for nothin. And the latest time i felt such a thing was yesterday, my surv. practical, well, im keeping my mouth shut on that, let the results be out, mayb then i will say somehting on that ;)


Note: I had a much better emotional thing in my mind yest morning, jus before i was about to appear for the exam, but seems Im overwhelmed now that its over, nd hence can't convey it with the intensity i wanted :'(

Random thoughts !!

Maybe because of the fact that all my days are truly boring and non eventful, maybe not, i dont know( i am good at coming up with excuses) that i refrain from posting in daily. Life as usual is truly hectic and not easy to describe the complex functionalities of the daily life, which can't be given a vivid description, but i assure you, survival is most difficult and what all things we do to just move is absolutely amzing and stunning, right from pleasing our teachers and doing assignments to the ever perilous task of explaining why your late for class, and coming up with new innovative excuses every morning does constitute a major chunk of our college life. And unlike the old days, when people used to say that college life is the best part ( still hear it a lot), i find it a struggle to merely move on, i mean the only real time we have is used up for finishing off daily chores and mugging for the next day, and you wouldn't believe it, there are teachers who actually punish yo...

The blog post!

To start with, I think I should justify the heading, the title post, well, this is again one of those blog posts I'm putting in after a very very long time in which a lot of wonderful and not so wonderful things have happened in my life. Well thats why its called "The blog post!" One of the books I have been recently reading is Sidin Vadukut's Who let the dork out?. About the book and all, its quite funny and interesting and it was more interesting for me as was written by a malayali. Some words randomly thrown here and there did make some sense to me! The sad part is that well, in between I got lazy and still have around 50 pages towards the climax. This trait of my character that I identified is that I do not like to dive deep into anything. I might find something interesting and trust me, I dont even start with anything if I dont find it very interesting.I get the plot then I leave. Its too difficult to keep my interest pinned onto something. But these days ...

Reactive Powder Concrete

This was my topic for paper presentation ever since S3 and is tied to an array of memories. It all started in first year when a senior told me about presentations and how he had used that money to purchase an ipod. It wasnt the prospect of getting an ipod but the fact that platforms were open to display of talent that made me think seriously about this. And the perfect venue was open at Aavishkar, a tech fest conducted by CET when i was in S3. Me and my classmate Vivek formed a partnership and performed, we came out with 1st. Must admit the fact that both of us did considerable good work in presenting that paper. This was followed by a series of other fests in which i got 1st for the paper. It truly was a lucky paper. But some time recently it seems that its run outta luck. Well, basically i believe its because of my mindset. I must admit the fact that im tired of presenting the same thing over and over again. So at this juncture as i refrain from presenting this topic any further, I ...
