So its exam season again. But one has to say an engineering course over do's it a little bit. As one looks back to the good old days, in the '02 year,we as freshers sat for our series exams, so afraid, so sure that this was the motive of our lives, the very core of our existance and now we now understand how far away from the truth we really were, atleast most us do.

My first exam may not be the perfect example, with chala passing me a whole 40 marks sheet helping me secure 70 in the first series math exam. The spectacle was fortuanately or unfortunately not repeated for the second series with me confined to a meagre 8 out of 100, which thankfully the poor math proffesor did not deem important enought to deny me the luxury of above 35 out of 50 for internals. But luck held strong during the S1S2 exams, with an unbelievable number of 'on the brink' scores and a KU concocted conditional clause, which ceremoniously crawls into most of my miraculous university esacapades. The thread of singe digit math marks adorned all my internal exam marklists, 7 and 3 for the third semester ,8 something in the fourth. But being cheated out of a conditional pass in FM in the third because of math finally persuaded me to go for math tutions and that dragged me into the mid fifties for math in the universities.

Then comes the day the internals are out, everyone going mad, not as much out of the concern for their marks but more out of the frustration of finding out again and again that the department has yet again managed not to put up the marks at all with the exam right upon our heads. My marks are never a surprise, with it staying within the safe limit of 2-4 undersessionals, which in by no way unfair. (*But guys let me say ,you can never stress the importance of sessionals.*)

Writing exams were always fun for me. But for all the wrong reasons. It could be said that I like it for more of the not writing part that the writing part. Pitt had high expectations for me , and so did Madhavan with me beating them out of the exam hall in every one of the 9 theory exams, but again fortunately or unfortunately i let them all down with me filing not even one suppli. So that was a big surprise for everyone.

So now that I am in S7, with the first series underway I find myself in a pivotal position( and nostalgic too) from where to influence a lot of raw and extremely impressionable young minds, in the form of the third semester juniors. They need guidance, spiritual guidance , well....I figure they need a role model!! So tomorrow ,I'm shedding all the pretense of decent ,well dressed responsible young adult male and reverting back to my original self ,though not to the original full glory , back to those torn and loud t's and unbelievable jeans and going to retire from the exam battleground within 15 minutes of the battle horns being blown.

ME the LONE WARRIOR >>> IIII STAND ALLOOOONNEEEE!!!!!
