My journey to the 6 Pointers Club
Binomial Nomenclature of my Class
10 Point "No-Ones" :
I guess, I am fortunate to have had no Robots in my class.
9 Point "The-Ones" :
I Was not fortunate ,this time though.. had a couple of them.
Very Low visibility , Spurious and Anti Social.
8 Point "Elite-Ones" :
Had a Good number of them. Aristocrats.
Unapproachable,Uncommunicative,Unenthusiastic.
7 Point "Some-Ones" :
Lifeline of our Batch, in IIT lingo "Junta" or "Public".
Sociable , Friendly , Lukewarm.
6 Point "hopeless-Ones" :
The ones ,whom your mom & dad had always warned not to be friends with.
Disapproving, Aloof, Annoyed, Apathetic, Pathetic , Impertinent,Incurious, Indifferent ,Distant,Frigid.
The facilities available on the campus , overwhelms an individual and helps him explore it with a lot of enthusiasm. Studies and sleep are the main casualties.
So here it goes.......
I was overwhelmed by the many facilities available and wanted to try out everything and just did that , my mid terms had arrived meanwhile. I Experimented with my midterm and succesfully screwed it. Now was languishing in the bottom 10 (truth is bottom 4 ) of the class.
Post Mid-terms joined the " Booze Club " and hence could not really find time for the End terms and yet again succesfully managed to screw it to perfection and ended up being in the line of fire.
My Excuses are Ingenious.
The endless attempts to cheer oneself up and designing various strategies such as C2D never saw the light of the day.The Seventh floor of my hostel had a lovely view of the western ghats, which looked almost & always beautiful during my exams and obviously when i had very less time (honestly). I started dreaming about the 7 ,8 & 9 Pointers Club ( Heaven's sake ,atleast in my dreams).
My journey to the 6 Pointers Club
A lot of power struggle takes place in the first few terms and hence becomes very crucial in deciding who goes where.I took the liberty of not involving myself in the struggle and was exploring IIT in all its grandeur. I was so overwhelmed by the facilities, I took up Swimming , Badminton , Cricket , Trekking , Music & Boozing ( All in the same term ). In fact I Got the Music Secretary to permit me to attend Music Classes the very day I got screwed in my first Quiz. (Reason : Anybody's Guess).
The Quizzes were always a Surprise as it turned out to be , the Prof with a very deceptive smile on his face and camouflaging the quiz papers in his file was succesful in deceiving me 85 % of the times.
I could never figure out a pattern of his quizzing days.This chap was indeed ingenious in his approach.I guess he had all the time in the world to perform a trend analysis and schedule his quizzes in total disharmony. Infact I had all the time in the world other than studying for the quizzes to devise new methods to beat the system ( Moving Averages & Exponential Smoothing ) to forecast the next quiz -- Just Kidding !!!
watch out for "10 Tips to Bend the System " read as " Survival Guide " Coming Soon!
He also had the time to design three sets of question papers to discourage people from looking at their neighbours papers (read: copying). I fell for it the very first time, I had to pay heavily , How do I explain it ! The closest comparison would be that I was trying to fit an "Elephant into a Kangaroo's Pouch".
Jokes apart, All my plans had run into rough weather......
What Next ?
I had no clue , I am in my room ,expecting the unexpected misery to follow !
Knock Knock Knock !!!!
I answer the door !
