IV sem..

After the III sem ended, we got the so called Vacation for 4-5 days.Those days flew away, time was fully spent for sleepin, eating and going out. Then, College reopened and we were into the second half of the second year.Classes went on, as usual never bothered to listen to any.The subjects were, EC-II,Linear Integrated ckts, Measuremnts and Instrumentation, EMF, Random  Process and Signals and Systems.

EC-II-Malathi- Easy Subject, made it look difficult . She was again one crap staff, adding to the department.

LIC-Deepa Jose- Used to come @ times, more like a guest lecturer, but again no teaching @ all.

Measurements & Instrumentation-Preeja-She was afraid of our class and i need not say more.

EMF-Kalpana- nick'd Crazy frog-Used to keep on shoutin some crap in the class, but who cares! 

Random Process-Chr/Raman sir

Signals and Systems- Again, the same crap , Anuradha, became from bad to worse, i shud say

It was symposium time, every even sem in college is fun cos half , infact more than half of the days is spent on the symposium.Its Fun actually..

So, Our department Symposium was scheduled on some date. The first thing which strikes everyone durin symposium is OD. OD-ON DUTY, which means, you can bunk college, legally.

First and Foremost thing during symposium is to collect the sponsors, This is the best thing in the symposium, actually.You can get permission from the HOD sayin u are going to X ,Y,Z company and can escape from the college, at the end no one bothers to check if we have got them sponsors from those company.I was not a good boy , to sit in the class wen we are given OD's .Since, it was the first sympo for us , most of us worked hard, going to d companies for sponsors, getting Bulb'd most of the time. The daily routine was to come to college by 9, get the OD letter signed and leave, there are days wen we never entered the classroom too.After some days, after getting so many bulbs in the company , we got fed up wit the companies and started going out to movies, malls, some place to kill time or worst come worst , go home n get flat.It was at tis time , after lots of pestering and pleading, nearly an year , i got a bike . Yipeee!Slowly, I started learnin how to drive, and den there was no stopping me. :P. Me n my frnds discovered so many hang outs, so many restos durin the so called sponsorship voyage.But we did some justice to our OD's by fetching some sponsors.We enjoyed each and every moment of the trips. Time passed by , it was ages since we sat in the class. But again , who cares! The preparations of the symposium was going @ full swing.Most of the work was taken care by our seniors, as it was their symposium mainly. Then , after the sponsorship deadlines got over , we had to deliver the symposium poster to the other colleges. Seriously , The poster looked like Crap, with the starting lines, MSEC vazhangum ELECSAwin PRANAV , C'mon man, shudn't it be professional, we aren't makin movies, oly there we have these kinda kinda, XXX vazhangum YYYwin <>.But , seniors had done it, so we cudn say anything. 

Days passed by, it was the eve of our symposium , many of us stayed back after the college hours , helpin in raising the banners , arranging the benches etc etc. In between all these things, we had to choose the events, i mean, u had to choose whichever event u wanted to volunteer. I chose Mock Interview along wit another friend of mine , Mr.Mani. By midnight , most of the work got over and most of us started as we had to come to the college a bit early too. The D-Day had arrived, thou i was happy bout it , i was also upset of the fact tat , OD's myt become difficult, oor sutha mudiyathu :(. All of us had dressed up in formals with a tie , Damn i tell u, tie , full hand shirt etc etc on a hot n sunny day @ chennai can be irritating like hell.But, I had to carry on wit it. Was really feeling sleepy , i dozed off during the Presentation, welcome address etc. and  i woke up suddenly and luckily , the initial mokkai's was about to get over. Then, everyone headed to their own respective committees. Me n my friend walked into the seminar hall, where the first round of mock interview was gonna be conducted. The seniors were there , before us ready with the question papers .To my susprise , oly around 4 ppl turned up at first, Well, frankly it was kinda flop show wit oly 40 odd turnin up for the event. We had to invigilate and see to tat no one copied,<>. Evaluating those papers took hardly 10 mins. and we shortlisted the selected candiadates fr the next round, which was an extempore. Our super seniors were the judge fr tis event. and some 5 students were  shortlisted for the nxt round and finally 3 of them won. Well, Finally Pranav-07 came to a close and it was declared a hit . And from next day , routine college started. Was sitting in the class after ages, so each subject seemed like Greek n Latin to me. Soon after a week, MID SEM was on, as usual , flunked miserably, thou i had the questions the previous night. And soon after ., the III sem results were out , the most shocking day in my life, i had got 4 backs. 4 Fucking arrears , i cdnt beleive my eyes wen  i saw it. I had cleared oly random process and Signals. Had a  nice archanai @ home , i also felt a bit guilty, but i had not written it so badly as the result said. But things had to move on, I applied for reval, but in vain. Well, i never take things seriously, so these 4 backs , dint worry me too much. But it was terrible result , pass % was oly 33%. But things had to move on.  I have to tell you about our lab sessions, It was more or less , 3 free hours, we were divided into groups , each group had 3 members.52,53,54 formed one group, 52=> gymse kumar, 53=>VB 54 => yrs truly. One of the most dedicated , punctual and sincere groups in our batch. The probabilty of all three of us present in the lab session was 0. It was either two of us or one of us or the whole group absent. We hardly did 4-5 expts durin the 4 years.I   never maintained an observation for any of the labs, except for 1 subject in the sixth sem.  I was very lazzy to write obse, and one more thing, oly if we perform the experiment we can take down in the obse. Records, another pain in the !!!. used to get it corrected at the last moment. We had the spiral bound records , all the writing and drawing is done on A4 papers and den its spiral bound. I was poor in drawing, i used to finish the writing part alone. I was good at outsourcing, by the time , i started my record, most of the students in my class would ve got the completed sign . So i used to give them the paper and ask them to draw the diagrams and tabular columns. If there were 10 expts , used to give the papers to 10 vetti dawgs and ask them to help me complete the record. By the time they finished their work, i used to complete the other pendin work . Then i used to collect the papers, and used to arrange it and den get it signed . PHEW! Revision exams came , flunked miserably again in all subjects, except for Random Process. Study holidays started soon after the revision.Apart from the regular 6 papers, i had to write those 4 backs too. Most of my exams were a total fiasco tis time , as i couldnt prepare properly , as the 4 arrears kept haunting my mind. Gave a shit performance . Results of the IV sem to be released soon.. 

II year of engineering.... III sem

Well, i apologise for the crap grammatical errr and screwd up sentence formation in the prev post, quite a few reasons for that , 1) started writing the post around 3 am, 2) Thoughts kept flowing in , cudn't control them and 3) I am still an amateur, hope i don make as many mistakes as in the first post this time, if u find any , Ignore them .

So here i go...

III sem, This is the time when the so called "Engineering" life starts. First day of the III sem, I was as usual late and it took some time for me to search for my class as the classrooms are in the Main block, for the first two semesters, we were made to sit in IIET block for some sentimental reasons , its more like a haunted block, dark staircase, broken door, stinkin toilets and more... Now comin to the Main block, <>At that time i dint have a cell phone  too, so that i could message someone asking wher's the class, so i had to go thru all the classrooms and finally found it.I am neither a first bencher nor a last bencher , am d In-between category.So I went inside and sat some where in the 3rd or 4th bench.The first day however was quite free as no staffs came. The thoughts about E.Mech started haunting me . Our Class teacher came in and put some blade about electronics some crap, well i never had the habit of listening the class unless am interested.She put some mokka and finally told the subjects for the semester and the staff who were gonna handle the subject, The Subjects were Data Structures<>, Electrical Machines<> , and the 3 core papers Electronic Devices and Circuits, Electronics Circuits-I,Digital Electronics and Maths -III. Days passed by, I realized that , My class is divided into 2 , One is the Pazham group and other is the happy go - lucky , Come what may group, and i was neither in both of them,  I was a Total Misfit in the class, neither i could move freely with the pazham group nor i could get along wit the other group. Well, I dint like the class at all and the subjects and the staff added to the agony.

 The Staff names deserves a special mention

Data Structures-Ashok Kumar-Nick'd RAMP WALK ROBOT- was one real psycho,Once he made the whole class to stand out and he walking alone inside the class stroking the benches,and he claimed to have finished the subject in just 2 classes.GOD OLY KNOWS~

 

Electronics Devices and Circuits- Anuradha - She was one annoying lady who was fit to teach primary children, Her dialogues like Ennathu Ma, Ithu Ma , Athu Ma pissed me off totally.

Electronics Circuits-Meenakshi-Nick'd AMMAN-She was suffering from hysteria i guess, She never used to shout lookin at the student's eye, she used to look at the ceiling while shoutim... Most of the time , she was fast asleep either inside the staffroom or lab. 

Digital Electronics-Sivarajan-Nick'd Morris Mano- was a silent person, he also taught us proprly , came to each bench and gave personal attention , this subject was quite interesting and a bit easy too... atleast the first unit, which he handled. As luck would have it , he left the college and we had 'n' no. of staff to complete the subject, this made me lose interest in tis subject too.. :((

Electrical Machines-Rama-Nick'd BONDAmatics-Her FUW<> were basically,generally,actually etc, we rather used to count the no. of these words than concentrating on the subject. 

Maths III- Chr/Raman sir-

Chr again was kinda hysteric, her speed of talkin was equal to the speed of Japanese bullet train.

Raman Sir-The most respected person in our college, was at his usual best. Since i was kinda good in maths, this subject wasn't an area of concern for me.

Now after a few days, we had something called Mid-Term,We never considered it as an exam, we gave a damn to it.This is like one week holiday , where we get to continue our broken sleep. That is what i did, dint study for any of the exams, even thou i knew the question the previous night itself. <>. Laziness got over me , and i dint study and faired badly in mid sem, Except for Maths , i flunked in the others. Special mention to the EC-I paper, in which i scored 0<>. Well actually it became a matter of prestige to pass in the mid sem exams. More the subjects  u fail , more the "GETHU". hehe. Days passed by and IV was planned. After so much of controversies, the date and the companies , everything got finalized.These controversies increased the animosity between the students. I , as always kept mum, as I don prefer getting into a fight unless its inevitable. Well, all set to bangalore , we spent 3 days there. Again , some problems cropped up, as expected, Inter class as well as intra class. Inter class, we had a tiff with EEE students over a company . Intra class, some group of students wanted to complaint about the boys who had boozed the previous night to the Class teacher, really kiddish thought, I believe. Well, problems still persisted in my class , No , Unity at all. Poor me, I wasn't a part of any of the groups, Because I dint like to be a part of one group and create hatred against the other. I was a TOTAL MISFIT again. Days passed, and on one rainy evening , the second semester results were out. It really scared the shit off me... E mech , E Mech was what  running thru my brain at that time.By this time , I had a cell. So while I was on my way home , my friend called me and told that results had come. I asked him not to tell my result , as I would go home n check it , But my over -enthu friend broke it and it turned out as expected.Tears started flowin from my eyes, as it was the first time in my life i had failed in an exam. I dint know how to tell it @ home. So , I thought of telling it a bit later, but my friends started calling me and one friend of mine , called up , I picked up the phone, My mom also picked the phone, and tat ass asked " Machi, Results enna aachu?", thats all! My mom started screamin and came to my room asking if the results were out, I acted as i dint know it and I said, wait let me check,by this time my dad had also come , the university site took its own sweet time to open, as it does always on the day of results, I put my reg.no and there came d marks. An 'F' next to me E. Mech, My parents were shocked, My father started shouting as all fathers do, tellin ippo onnu , adutha sem naalu , athukku adutha sem ettu , and he left for work as it was his night duty , and after that my mom started polambifyin, again like any other mom. Next day , College , i went to the class, few happy faces and  few gloomy faces. I was terribly upset too. I had to move on with it. 

Sem III was about to come to an end. I fucking , dint know anythin about any subject and I again, flunked miserably in the Revision examination. Study holidays started , Tis is like a vacation for us , because , other than this we don get holidays post exam, So tis is the time to enjoy, wasted the whole month royally.Only good thing I did was that I attended Raman Sir's Maths Class. Its more like a one month crash course.Time flew,then, I realized that , the exam was on the next day , so I sat down to study around 11pm the prev night , The exam next day was DS.I burnt the midnight oil, studied upto 3-4 am and went to sleep. Got up around 730 am, revised whatever i studied and i left to coll. This became a routine during exam times.  Well , I felt i had done the exam properly and was kinda satisfied wit my performance. Next exam was E . Machines, again the same routine and i did tis exam a bit ok. Next Exam was EC-I and we had a cupla days and there was heavy rains , poured cats dogs donkeys cows buffaloes and what not , and tis made the University postpone the dates as the rural areas got hit badly by these rains. Since the exams got postponed , the seriousness in me disappeared too... dint even touch the books. The exams again started  . EC-1 , EDC and Maths -III went well, but Digital Electronics was a SHOCKER. Not even a single question was expected, It was one hell of a paper. It was my worst performance ever, worse than E.Mech too. So  I expected one CUP again.... So finally III sem got over... Results of the III sem to be released in the next blog . !! 

Joining MSEC and the First Year

Tis is wat vettiness has done to me ... Has made me write blogs. :((

 

Ok Let me tell you about my eventful 4 years of my so called Engineering Life. Well after scorin a good 92% in my +2 Examinations and havin an avg cut off of 250+ , I joined MEENAKSHI SUNDARARAJAN ENGINEERING COLLEGE.Infact , I really wasn interested in joining the college, mainly because of its name meenakshi sundararajan<>. I did not make it thru the University counselling, I joined tis college thru the backdoor entry, i.e the mgmt quota. Paid a sum of 2 laks :(( and joined the ECE department.The Worst thing bout tis is I had a call from Vellore Institute of Technology for the first phase counselling, wherein I would 've got ECE w/o any capitation, I wanted to go there, fought wit my parents, but my plea fell on deaf ears and i was forced to join MSEC. I liked one thing bout MSEC, it was in the city, infact 5-10 mins frm my home , which meant i cud get up late and get ready to the college unlike the other colleges, whose colleges buses picked their students by 645-715. That is the time wen i am in deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep sleep. Well, anyways, time passed by and the college opened . First day of the first semester, English Sir came to our class, he is one f the senior citizens of my college, 75+ . He put some blade on the first day,then after a few days, they split the sections irrespective of their departments  . Ppl who had a score of 85+ in +2 were in A section 75+ in B section and rest in C section.  I was lucky tat my school friends were wit me in the same section i.e A section.It was fun in our section. Made good friends with my classmates, had nice time. First sem breezed away and i cleared all  my papers wit ease, well who cares bout % in Anna Univ.Since i was fresh from school, my habit of calculatin the % was still there and i got 78% , I was not satisfied as i expectd more. Then I moved into my department , now it was a proper ECE classroom . I was left alone as my friends had moved into the CS and IT department.  To be frank , I really hated the class, I ,infact wanted to change my department. But , I had no other option other than to get going. It was kind of a rough time , missing my old friends , sittin alone. Things moved on, I made friends wit few guys in my department. The thing which i disliked in my class is everyone formed their own groups and they never came out of their groups. Tis really pissed me off. Well to be honest, i had made oly 3 friends in my II sem, it was jus a Hi-Bye relation wit others. Time flew away and it was Exam time , I was really afraid of the subject called Engineering Mechanics, It was handled by one of the worst professors of all times. Well , i was told tat E.mech is a diff subject by many ppl, infact i love problematic subjects, as they are challengin and its also easy to score . But as many ppl said , its diff , it created a psychological block in my mind and i couldn concentrate on the subject. The problem wit me is , irrespective of the difficulty of the subject , i opn book only the nite before d exam. So next day was E.MECH, since i hadn prepared well, the paper appeared to be like a Greek and Latin paper to me. I screwed up the paper, was disgusted wit my own performance. 

So What happend to the results tis time ???? To be continued in the next post...
