All the facts stated below are true to the best of my knowledge and the author begs no moral responsiblity for any kind of conflict that arises out of it...lol..
The past fortnight has been as eventful n exciting as one could be ! it began on a frenetic note wid our sessionals zooming in out of nowhere.well wat began as a huge burden soon turned into a mockery.INTENSIVE CHEATING PROGRAM ,to be very precise !!! a thought flirted my mind , that life has really come a full circle ( from stealthily snatching a glance here n dere in the schooldays to craning ur necks in the partner's notebooks).some hilarious anecdotes of our ICV ( as we prefer to call it) ought to be narrated... during the environmental CT( it stands for class test!) copying earnestly from the mastercopy, thakur (he's the heart n soul of our group at college, a real comedian wid n amazing sense of humour) saw the word 'industries' written in a abridged manner wid 'indus' on one end and 'tries' in the next row . Applying his faculties he reasoned dat it can't be 'indus trees', it must have been 'india's trees'...thats not all , here comes the masterful part the whole group comprising about a dozen mindlessly n mechanically copies it till the last one realises it ....can't stop being amused by it since then...And thats juz the beginning...
In the maths paper (it was the last time i was penning down a subject which has been the most endearing to me of all...) the mother of all parody happened..We had this symbol J of a Jacobian (it would sound french..i promise it meant the same to me as well..) ..which from a distance (it was peek-a-boo time after all ..)seemed like the under-root symbol ..(and we found out later that those two were as distinctly unrelated as yin n yang!!!)...One does not need to be a rocket scientist to guess what followed!! The narrator had his own share as well besides playing an active part in the above mess...
well i did my best to avoid it..eye-witnesses will testify that..I was busy jotting out the first question with as much straight-faced innocence i could procure ..though managing only a few sneak-peeks..the invigilator must have had a rough morning (woken up on the wrong side of bed..or most probably a empty stomach..whatever.)..his was a strict vigil...i was being rendered a special attention...it was just a matter of few minutes when i was delivered the apocalyptic judgement..move to the front or move out..it was quite straightforward in the end..i admire him for speaking his mind so clearly...(@!%@!$&!$&@R$^@..)..all of my so-called 'true friends' were splitting into cracks with laughter...cyaa all..as they say.."every tom,dick and harry has his day!!"(dunno..who gave this shitty quote..)..
Well i politely went to the lone seat in the first row..what if my sheet was bleak and clean (on second thoughts i maintained a clean slate..lol..).the girl on my side was penning out here paper with such ferocity..that i grew speechless,numb ...i was faltering to adjust my line of vision to a single line...well i waited and waited..but oh Gosh!! there was no pause,no break...figures kept coming out..theorems springing from memory..greek expressions and constants sketched..i was in a daze to say the least..suspended animation is the best u can attribute to it !!
well a well-aimed spot kick from the back woke me up...i was wrong ..a friend in need is a friend indeed...I decided let bygone be bygone..and that includes almost half of the paper !!! i jumped into the rat-race with renewed vigour..vigorously jotting whatever she wrote...bothering the least about the question number ..i wrote in bursts like a person taken,a man enchanted...when i cud manage to see only the right half of the paper ...i wrote that much only..if the lower half was visible..that would do as well...the clock ticked off...in the end i can safely say my work was a rare display of innovation and the ability to juggle out of unfortunate situations...( the fact that the faculty thought otherwise..tells a different story...it almost acted as a specimen of what not to do during a sessional..lol...!!)
Phew!! the month of march has been increasingly hectic ..got into a sort of active hibernation from the blogosphere. but finally i m back after travelling like a robot ( well i nearly became one ..2000 kms in the courtesy of our ever so generous national railways !). frantically jumping through three cities with in a month almost made me accustomed to a life of a nomad and really led me to wonder how did the bushmen of medieval times survived ?? ravaging aimlessly through the deserts of sahara for nothing !!!
Nonetheless, i am now relieved of the monotony of moribund travel and free to let my imagination wander through the lenghths and breadths of kalahaari ( pun unintentional!!!). Due to dearth of ideas , i began a critical analysis of my philosophy of life meandering into a heap of garbage!!!
Since the last week when i resumed my classes , drab & deprsssing lectures have been the order of the day ..one particular electronics lecture was so crap that i droned of into a fantasy only to regain my senses with the announcement of two assignments and a tute next week !!!techniocal studies really need to be upgraded otherwise i can visualize a distant future where lectures will be addressed to empty LTs!
Otherwise , the past week was quite eventful with a buzz of activity around the college .variety of quizzes , codebreakers and aptis(for the uninitiated aptis stand for aptitude tests) adorned the LTs ..Trailblazer organised by FITI was one such event !
but all hell broke loose when its Q-Test paper arrived in the midst of the unsuspecting students(the paper was devised by CAREER LAUNCHER living up to their standard) who had arrived in huge numbers!!! all the gullibles were at their wits end delving deep into the abysses of their cerebellum trying to figure out the imbroglio served out to them !
have a look at a sample question :- " JESUS WEPT" ..we were numbed with the task of assigning a date and a year to this misfortunate event!!!!!!!!
SAVE ME JESUS!!!!
Signing off with great exuberance , as india has done it once agin ( another win while chasing).HATS OFF TO RAINA & DHONI FOR THEIR PYROTECHNICS UNDER NERVE-WRACKING SITUATION !!!!!
Since 18th when i watched it , i've been drawn to post a blog on it. well in my opinion rang de basanti is one of the most majestically made movies of our era ... HATS OFF TO RAKEYSH OMPRAKASH MEHRA !!! wat a great movie! awe-inspiring for one & a great entertainer as well . to tell u the truth i was caught unawares when the movie concluded , as if in a rowling-esque trance . without exaggeration , i could feel the blood surging beneath the subcutaneous layers of my skin ( flowery use of the expression , isn't it ?)
one hell of a great movie flick!!! though it may sound rhetorical , coming as it is from an 18 year old , but still i feel that the youth of our country have got to do some soul searching . though it may be unpractical but we have to move away from the odes of americanism we have become so attuned to in the new millenium . to quote from the chetan bhagat bestseller ' one night at the call center ':- junk food,colored fizzy water,dumbass credit cards and overpriced shoes.they call it the youth culture.is this what they think youth is about?we have just been reduced to a high-spending demographic."
On introspection one feels that we have got a lot to offer to our motherland in terms of monetary and intellectual perspective ... as DJ ( dats aamir khan in rang de...for the ignoramus)remarks -" abe paidh de #### , mainu na pata tha mere andar bhi ek aag hai "
signing off wid the lyrics of the song roobaroo which i simply adore ( it seems ethereal to me ) ,three cheers to rang de basanti!!!

FICTION REVEALS TRUTH THAT REALITY OBSCURES -Ralph Waldo Emerson
hello frenz upon my entry into the world of blogosphere
well i'll tell u how it all started. today on a D.T.C bus from AIIMS to noida my train of thoughts had a wild flight soaring from the abysses of pacific to the heights of the the himalayas , i felt a deep urge to rediscover myself , to correlate my imagination to meaning & to discover the author in me (i suppose it wud be presumptous to call it the 'author', but still a little exaggeration wud do no one a harm)
For introduction purposes myself RAGHAV YADAV ,a first year enginnering student from I.E.T. LUCKNOW wid branch I.T..(well i suppose dat wud be enough for the beginning)
people will ask why i titled my blog as i have , but dere is certainly a reasoning .being a true capri i've certainly a peculiar inkling for the dilemma and indecision.i just cant help being indecisive!!!!!!!!!!!!!i just cant...
various periods of my life have been reflective of dis .more recently wen i was through the competitive exams stage and had to choose a college. i was caught napping between coaching in kota for JEE or to select a govt. college in UPSEE. well as it is clearly evident i opted for the later. but since dat day i have hugely regretted my decision.i tried to console my mind hoping dat a simulatneous preparaion wud be great. but as i have found out it was a deplorable decision. ' two birds in the bag r better than a plenty in the sky' ( i think i have screwed the quote big time )was my thought at that time,but i have learnt later dat widout dawdling in the potholes of risks one cant hope to steamroll to skyscrapers of greatness
Moving on , i suppose my blogging wud provide a paltform to understand the subtle nuances of authoring a book.i have plenty of ideas circulating through a whirlwind in my mind. but to draft them into a buk wud require some serious skills .
my blog wud certainly act as a itinerary of my serpentine life through the coming weeks.
Before bringing a conclusion to my primary blog i wud mention the person who inspired me to launch into real time blogging- my friend azeem the pmt warrior . though he has hibernated from active blogging for the coming few months his blogs were a treat to the readers......
so signing off wid a quote which i presonally admire a lot
people say " i was born intelligent , education ruined me "
i say " i was born fool , education only made ,matters worse"
