Thanks Manish for your comment. I completely agree with you that all the 3.4 (especially the hindi 1.7 half) members were completely useless. Some of them could not sing to save their life. You might guess whom am I alluding to :P. I will definitely come to Debchat's HR class ... but remember .. that was in term 2 ... and we are still here in term 1 only.
I now need to talk about my mid semester examinations. Well .. first exams in a totally alien environment ... with new people .. new competitors. Frankly, I had not set very high targets for myself for these exams partially because of my foot problems and also because I had no clue what the competition was like. As I had said before it was important to do well ... but it was more important to do better than others. Somehow ... last years papers had been arranged ... They were most essential for any exam. This tradition has been followed religously by any student who has ever visited an engineering college. You can prepare for the exam without the basic textbook .. without a single note but you simply cant manage without last years papers. ... And the engineering tradition very well carried off into management also ....
I still remember our first paper was BIO (Behaviour in organizations) .... just a 20 marks paper ... having 3 questions (5, 5, 10 marks). I wrote globe to the best of my abilities. But for the last 10 marks question I was never sure. The question could have been answered by looking at it from many perspectives ... and I had chosen one with which I myself was not completely satisfied after coming out of exam. And this thing was troubling me .... However I did one good thing... whatever Debchat used to say in class ..whatever language he used to use ... I used that in paper .. liberally so ... "It is not difficult .. it is challenging" ... "Capture the learnings" .... "The layers of human thinking" ... "The conscious and the subconcious" ... and many others ... Ultimately professors are not difficult people to understand ... obviously they want to see in answer sheet what they have preached ... which massages their self ego that the students have paid attention and importance to what they had been preaching .. even if it is crap. I had already started applying BIO at my work :P
One by one all the mid term examinations passed away ... QAM (I thought that this went off well), Economics (All globe questions repeated from last year ... I again did same thing .. wrote what the prof had been blabbing about) .. MANAC (This one was particularly tough .. what with the competition coming from all the CAs ... and an above average paper .. I was doubtful of scoring even 50% from a 35 marks paper ... thankfully many others did not seem to have done it too well), COM (lotsa globe with lotsa charts ..and trees .. just like Raina liked it) and one more subject (which I dont even remember now) ... Finally they were over! And believe me ... mid sems week was much better than the week before (both professionally and personally)!
