Happy new year to all of my friends. Sorry, I’m late. The thing is I love blogging and I wish to continue to maintain this blog as… as… I promised to myself to do so. But I just can’t make it. I wish that I could seriously revive this blog with some interesting content, some interesting blog posts and a whole lot of new friends… the fact is I am miserable…

Anyhow, if you are reading this, just drop in a comment or two to let know how are you? what are you doing etc.

I know some people are visiting this blog, the counter on the left has moving a little bit… I have written a lot many blog posts… which are on my computer… which is not connected to internet…

Sometime (maybe a year or two) I will have a Internet connection and then I will post regularly…

bye and take care

I am a big fool… you already know… I saved all of my blog entries which I wrote during holidays into one zip file and protected it with a password…

I am a fool because how come I can protect something which I am going to publish on the web so whole world can read it…

No. 2 I am fool because I have forgot the password… I am sitting in vain in front of my computer monitor making innumerable attempts at guessing the password… but I am exhausted… and so is my password guessing list… so just wait and watch….

footnote:wow! august has started… this is my favorite month… we have a new friend… I don’t know her name but she goes with the ID something… Obs B3nn0da

Different Species of Students (esp in my class) May 19, 2007

In last birth you used to pull and break the legs of flies, and in the trial court of Almighty you were sentenced to extreme torture. But because of your nice nature it was adjudged that the torture will be given in installments. So, here is the next installment of your torture. Read my blog post.

Studying for almost 3+12+1 = 16 years*, hopefully I can call myself a good student (so what if I still count using my fingers). Being a student I can tell you, it is a great experience to be in the class which is full of variety of students. Now, because of my super natural analytical powers (so super and so natural that I can only use them in boring lectures), I keep analyzing other students of my class. (Oh I goofed up! You thought I was listening to my lecturer)

Now, like a sincere researcher and scholar I would like to share the valuable insight of my research which enumerates different kinds/varieties of students of my class.

Oh-my-pants-are-on-fire students

To be frank, I love this variety. They are always in a hurry and never have the time to say ‘hi’. They are very studious and are permanently attached to a very suspicious-yet-so-stupid device called eyeglasses. As I said they are very busy students, always scribbling something on the paper and run a round-the-clock service called ‘free notes’ i.e. if you miss a lecture you can ask them for notes. They are very knowledgeable but there knowledge is limited to them only in the manner that if you ask them a question they will smile and say ‘don’t know’ so you remain a fool and can’t outsmart them in the upcoming mid semester exams. I can judge, my lecturer pays them a very hefty sum of money to attend to the lectures, since they don’t even miss a single lecture.

Yo basket-ball players variety

They are usually tall and dress like a basketball players and occasionally come to classes to see if the chair they used to sit is still there or not. They don’t bother about study, because they are able to smuggle small pieces of critical information into the examination hall. No lecturer of sound mind is capable of executing the search warrant against them because of their massive size, psychic and the international level coach they have hired at the gym. They often stop by you, look down to you and smirk “yo! Wassup kid”

Dinosaur Variety

You are told they are extinct, but once (maybe twice) in a year you are able to spot them in the class. They seldom come to the class and are ungrateful to the lecturer as much as actor ungrateful to the director for giving the guest appearance in the movie.

Albert Einstein variety

They are genius – they believe like that. They know everything about Albert Einstein, that how with poor grades in history, geography, and languages, he left school with no diploma and went to Milan and try to co-relate their low performance with that and say it’s not a co-incident. To prove this they can tell you about Pythagoras theorem, integration, recite the value of pi and tell you details of jute industry of Zimbabwe. But when you ask what subjects they are being taught, well, they are in problem. They remind you of Albert Einstein when you smirk at them for their very very low grades.

I-am-thinking variety

This is the funniest variety I have ever known. If a lecturer asks them a question, they will put a finger on their chin and start thinking. They will make certain facial expressions which would let you believe that they are really thinking. But as the climax come closer, they start thinking fast, start murmuring the answer, blinking and murmuring. It looks as they are going to share the remedy to the iminoglycinuria of the intestine. But as the wait ends, they shake their head and say ‘sorry’ they don’t know the answer.

Deperessed-by-life-can-kill-anyone variety

They are the most dangerous and they pretend that they have all the problems of the world. When the teacher is discussing about the motivation techniques for the employees, they step in and start sighing about the corruption practices of the current government. When lecturer is describing the training needs of employees, they start complaining to the lecturer about how much the food is bad at the mess. When the lecturer is explaining different types of computer networks they start discussing population problem of India. And I am amazed at their aggressive stance, they talk, as if the lecturer is the government employee, their mess contractor, or the root of problem of population of India.

Well, that was all for today. I am happy that I do not fall into even one of the categories given above. If I was to create the category for me I would name it creature-of-computer-lab-live-die-for-blogging

On that note, I sign off for now… bye and take care… don’t kill and don’t get killed…

Friend Left Behind February 27, 2007

In lieu of those unraveled joys,
And beside that unjust pride;
I had something that I have lost;
‘A friend’ that I left behind.

He helped me a lot, whenever I was in need,
He was just, good and to me kind;
But I wasn’t careful about him,
Forsaking, I left him behind.

I promised to standby him,
And I often go back to the place,
where we used to meet
I remember, I said to him
“please wait I’ll be back in a time.”
He must be waiting for years,
To meet me, dearest of his dears.

From where, such a friend, I shall find;
He is not in my sight, but my soul,
Of which he was a part I left behind.

I feel guilt, ashamed and helpless,
Whenever this loss comes to my mind,
Tired by my own selfishness,
I am in search of my friend I left behind;

Now I am here in front of you all people,
I searched him in all spheres of my life,
And now as I walk towards the end;

Oh you people! Look upon me as a fool,
Who left behind his only beloved and only friend.

Where excellence is not enough May 24, 2006

Students celeberating their results

Students celeberating their results

Just one week before it, I knew result will be coming on 23rd. Why be so tensed? I knew what result will be. I knew because I (and I only) had given exams and therefore only I knew how good (or how bad for that matter) my exams will be, of course, apart from the examiners. I knew where I stood and what was going to be my position. Then why be so anxious about result? Why be so nervous?

It was foolproof for me, but not my friends, who all had lot of excitement about the results (which lasted to the day of result only)

I was unable to make my parents relax (they were worried about the results). I couldn’t make them feel that I will PASS easily. Why my parents thought I wouldn’t succeed? Because they never saw me studying at home, they could not believe that I will pass. That is a different story, never mind.

So, what I feel about results.

Fine, yup! Excellent at first sight. I have just finished my high schooling, way for me for higher studies. Hey, no big feat. So did thousands of other students. So what special about it? Nothing.

I have just scored 68%, hopefully highest in school (in commerce only). That means I am all better than my friends and classmates, sadly enough, some of them even didn’t passed (and some left with compartments).

Friend who called me early in the morning that result has been announced himself got failed, It is awkward, how come you console someone who has failed in exams? How come you celebrate your own success? I had only one thing for him, “Failures are badges of success”. It was awkward again; this so-called thought couldn’t justify his effort of repeating same class once more. Sometime, you don’t need to shed out tears to let others know you are crying.

Emotions apart, where do I place myself in larger context. Let us examine.

Let us throw facts, as many as 1,905 students made above the 90%. One girl from our state exam board secured 98.2% something. Oh! jaws dropped. Big photo on the front page is all I can imagine. How happy she will be and why not? She has put efforts and therefore good results. ( ;-) not LAZY)

Let us turn to the darker side, many students even committed suicide. How sad? I used to think often where excellence is not good enough, until I read this one. A girl with 86% committed a suicide, why? Probably she wasn’t satisfied with her result. That way, I would have to commit suicide thousand times. Hey that is silly thing to do, who you are to dare to weigh the importance and VALUE of human life with some stupid certificates and papers. POOR EDUCATION SYSTEM.

Never mind, I can’t do anything. This vicious circle goes on, next year, same result, same story, and same next year. It goes on. I can’t help it, because I am not the education minister, I am not the board president. I can’t review the whole education system. If I were they, I would have made it mandatory to pass everyone. That’s best things about dreams, they cost you nothing.
