Whew! One year over and it seems to me as if this year has not even started…Its been a mixed bag as far as this ‘academic’ year is concerned…I came home today only to find my gran’s eagerly awaiting my arrival [:)] .I went about the usual routines and at one point my gran dad asked me what I had learnt this year..that of course was answered by a polite and rather sheepish smile but internally something else began…finally when my thought process concluded I decided that this was what I had learnt this year..

ACADEMICS:
An absolute zero.Only in the second semester maths was challenging and of course we liked to learn for the exam and eagerly looked forward to have a crack at the challenging paper..but alas! The semester paper being an easy one did no justice and it was a bit of a dampner..

I am really interested in physics but after one year of study in the famous NIT-T I can hardly scent any trace of that intrest in myself..and of course no comments on chemistry.

Previously I never had an exam where I had to learn something on the morning of the exam..never been late to an exam hall but after going to college I have had days where I had to start preparing on the day of the exam..and of course never been to the exam hall before time.. is that good or bad.?

My mediocre gpa does nothing to say in favour of this

Fine! Chuck this topic

LIFE: Being on one’s own can be really nice .Hostel life is solid proof for that..washing your own clothes ,tending your bed,cleaning your room etc..these are small things but when done they give you immense satisfaction after being done by someone else all the previous 17 years

Friends are more important than what Sir Newton’s laws say or volume integerals or carbon’s valency…seriously,then who else would give you assignments or even better do them? J…Apart from that nothing can bring back those magic moments you spend together or those brilliant teasing we undertake!..staying ten in the same room and having fun! (no pun intended!)..whoa! its just awesome


I babble a lot nowadays under the tag of mokkai’s. well… not sure if this is good either

My family has 3 generations of teachers and professors my mom also being one…. imagine how respected teachers should be in my house …time to break the old rules eh?

On the last day of the first year my friend introduced me to a literary group..a group of people who read books other than the novels also…I heard names of books that have changed lives ,that convey the lives ,the achievements of great men whom everyone admires…why didn’t I think of reading them before itself?.....got lots to learn in life

Books are really the best companion a man can get if he is lonely :-p
nothing gives you more satisfaction than an amazing read..then is music…by saying music I mean music where you understand whatever is sung(note the word)..not people using heavy sounds to hide their not-so-good-voice…music is something that clears your head not which brings in a head ache..

OTHERS: I was introduced very recently to a crazy sport called soccer…22 fully grown men slogging it out just to posses a ball few foot in size and trying to put it into a post which again is guarded..and millons across supporting a group of 11 men ..i got a bit tired when the same group was continuing its love affair with winning …of course relationships are meant to be maintained..!!

Late night matches …people grabbing up seats with slogans supporting their teams and stuff and sledging among themselves…..all that is really nice!!

Even when a person loses he is not without support…if you did’nt know im a HARDCORE Dravid fan and Royal Challengers’ supporter..and of course im not single at that!

Build-up is something that can irritate you but at times I wonder how people manage to do the …without even me realizing it I have become the master of build up [:)]

All this apart …I met a senior who was leaving the college…he was very very emotional about his life here ending…I just thought over it now…if something made him feel that much what else could it have been other than his friends? If there is something more I still have’nt seen it and I doubt that I will at the end of 3 more years …

Let me see what happens when I write a post on the same subject next year [:)]

AS for the answer for the question it moves to the right as no door is visible only windows…this was a question asked to the kids in UK. 90% answered it correctly …good minds coming up?
