You get what you give...

Its “THAT” time of the year!!..


Every engineer anywhere in Maharashtra will know what I m sayin.. Its “SUBMISSION” time.. The time when every teacher is high, when every professor knows atleast this time around the students will have to listen to them and come to them to have their term granted…

Time for some sweet vendetta.. Revenge.. Oh so very sweet revenge…

The teachers very well know that the students are vulnerable to any type of torture now.. (physical as well as mental!!..) And so they don’t let go of any opportunity to give it back to them, what they have been tolerating for the whole semester..

Hmmm.. Now coming back to the students.. The students these days are very competitive and high edge professionals.. No one wants to be the engineer who only studied throughout the whole 4 years.. You have many of those lying around as it is!!!...... So everyone is involved in some or the other extra curricular activities. And its not like as if the teachers are not aware of it.. they see the students work their ass off to make the college event noticeable and make the college known amongst all others.. They behave as if pulling it off was a piece of cake.. Little do they know that its certainly the opposite of what they think!!

And the students don’t really pay dat much attention to the professors as it is.
Well, to be frank enough they are not as highly qualified as one would want them to be. Their knowledge levels are even worse!!! And their English sucks big time!!!!!! (I mean who says gotted it?? or diks for disk)
So as I was sayin, the students torture them throughout the sem and they give it back to them during the submissions and vivas.. 

They also like to make the students beg for correcting a piece of paper, for signing one sheet of index page of some journal which everyone knows how they have completed (Remember those endless nights of endless writing or rather “chapofying”..) And the VIVAS.. mock as well as final.. They so love to pull the legs of the students when they know they know nothing..

I mean you “study” the subject for months and years together and then you know what little you know and you expect the students to know it ALL in barely 3 months (if to be counted as 3 months… Its more like 3 days..) And then they love to throw around dialogues like (in front of d externals) “I told them to study and come during the mock vivas only. Now what to do if they don’t study?” Yeah right!!!!!!

I tell you I used to feel that may be I am the one who is lazy and didn't do my work properly, that’s y I am getting my ass whooped but no. Its not me. Its them too. I mean even the teachers are sleeping the whole semester.. And don’t tell me they don’t know the syllabus or they are not aware of what all is to be completed in 3 months. Now if you can't plan even that then I don’t believe you have any right to tell the students that they are late for their submissions..

One more thing.. I believe there’s atleast one class in a year tht makes a teacher cry atleast once in a semester.. If you are not capable of handling students 20 yrs old then may be you should not treat them like 2 yr old because ITS SO GONNA BE HELD AGAINST YOU!!


Well I am sorry if I came out very strongly.. but this is the fact and every word of it is true (I know everyone reading it is agreeing right now..) 

This hate-hate relationship is here to stay atleast till any one of d 2 entities decide to change.. Which I know no ones gonna… So better suck up the SUBMISSION blues and go write….. Enjoy..

Its soo true....

Through the course of time, I have learnt quite a few things in life. One doesn't realize these things until one actually experiences them and contemplate on what is going on.

I have learnt through my experiences that once you get out of your defined comfort zone and start realizing how life n world works then the mere existence of the people, who contradict what your experiences have to tell you, starts annoying you. The more people you meet the more you find another bunch of people extremely irritating. And its funny that once you actually believed in their ideology and thought all are like-minded!!! Then you start realizing how wrong you were in knowing and judging people. I don't know about people but it often happens with me.

I have learnt through my experiences never to judge anyone based on their appearances, on the way they speak or most importantly, based on their past life! Simply put I have learnt not to judge anyone. Because you will always be judged back and the fact remains that judging people prior to knowing them always leads to wrong results.

I have learnt through my experiences that some random people are always rooting for you and some random people have expectations from you. And you on your part are always “Expected” to respect their expectations and live up to them. This also means that if u have to respect d expectations of some random people, then u also have to fulfill n respect the expectations of your near n dear ones as they are the only people who genuinely love you and care for you!!

I have learnt through my experiences if people believe that ‘Pen is mightier than sword’ then I have started believing that ‘Tongue is mightier than pen’. What a written piece of paper cannot achieve, can be easily achieved, if conveyed properly, through speech. It can also be used effectively to make a point, to hurt someone or to make someone’s day!!!

These things tend to become so obvious with time that we start taking them for granted and the people around us also!!

Too emotional?? May be yes.. but its soo true!!!!

Female species..

Navratri season is in the air. Auspicious festival. Everyone is in a good mood. Travelling in the train is a different experience altogether though during festivals. In normal course of day to day travelling as it is you don’t know what you smell, what shampoos and conditioners and hair oils you taste, and get hit how many times and where. But festivals are different. There are smells of perfumes that would make Estee Lauder or Coty be ashamed of their products. Then there’s washed hair adorned by "GAJRAS". Now one can still bear the smell of gajras of flowers like mogra, jai, jui, chameli, etc. But these are exotic flowers with unbearable fragrance.

The major problems Ladies face while travelling is carrying their bags: one normal purse, one for carrying their Tiffin, one for carrying daily groceries. Now fine carry whatever you want but why shout at the college girls for carrying their college bags?? As we want to!!! They say it’s so much trouble. Ladies our bags give you as much trouble as your ass gives us. As you cannot do away with your ass we cannot do away with our bag!

Then there’s a bunch of ladies that like to tell the world that they bear the burden of the world. Yeah Hercules is on holiday!! And these ladies believe that other people travelling with them are responsible for their misery. Try saying anything to them and there are dialogues coming your way like "These girls today have no sense of responsibility. Just are oversmarts. Do have any idea how late I am for office? I am not paid for coming late. You as it is like to go late!!" Yeah!! They have not met our teachers who don't let you in even if there’s been a genuine problem!!

And I am not saying all the girls are not what the ladies say they are!! They are equally dumb. Now I don't understand why you need your boyfriend to come and escort you till the train door!! And their bfs don't seem to have any problem. All the more, they feel it’s important to go drop your "Babe" till the train door. Dude its not like someone’s gonna kidnap her!! I do understand that you are in love and cannot tolerate being separated but come on, get a life!! And then there’s that scene from DDLJ that you are reminded of when the train begins to leave: Bye. Bye. Call me ha. Ya I will call you. Meet you later. Bye my cutie pie. Bye my rasagulla. I would rather puke!!

Sometimes you feel that God made these females to prove point- Dumbness runs in their blood. It’s better not to waste your time on these creatures. Just let them be.

I just want to thank God for not making me that way. Hope I remember all this always!!
