NoOne
Left for the day.
No excitement to turnup again,
No satisfaction while on his way.
No motivation, No driving power,
Silent in the meetings, Hearing people said so far.
No wish to bring innovation,
No No Slog, No determination.
Never did more than assigned.
Distressed appraisals, Unfortunately he did not mind.
Gaped at the watch more often than not,
"Done" was his favourite word, He used it a lot.
Worked like he always, His rut made him sad,
Resigned one day, People felt bad.
He left them, although he was not missed or to be reminisced,
Never known as one-of-a-kind ,Soon was to be replaced.

Engineering is fun..!!!.......????????? Gimme a break!!!

Hey to all the engineering people reading out there!!!
I am not going to replete this article with anything unimaginable
claptrap. But you 'll realize its the same life we are all being through.......forcefully, or on ones' own will,...fortunately or rather unfortunately, All your say!!
Folks, Lets start with normal, routine, ordinary days, say. It was
to start on 15th July supposedly. But it’s an understood clincher that no one is presumed to step in classroom before 25th July.
Okay, Everything is in excitement on the very first day..(U know which day), right from making rounds to the department for taking
down the timetables of lectures, batch-wise practicals to approaching Seniors cum friends for consulting about books, syllabus, semester preparation and off course for files (consequential) unequivocally. Then befitting the “school going” character within oneself. I mean...attending lectures consistently......Hey am I being fair???.....the showoff is but obvious short-lived. Anyway I won’t falter from writing life within classroom in those graceful days in precise.
Professors coming late for minimal 5 minutes...maximal hmm, till next scheduled lecture's professor turns up (That means divine OFF).Students INSIDE the classroom rather than delving into INSIDEOUT of the matter being taught are interestingly engrossed in OUTSIDE life. Off course the outlandish, bizarre ones have their heavenly life watching some movie in someone else' room using some one else' computer and bitching about that "someone" for not keeping water bottle filled in room. While some others prefer hanging around in college. Hmm,(word 'wandering 'is apt) aimlessly with the feeling of elation in their own world.
During this period we have numerous activities being held in our college. Many social service clubs make it point to advertise in front of FE’ s viz., announcements, notice-papers and all that. Most of the times they are being made to attend compulsorily. Hey, don’t be outraged. I won’t be expatiating that. TE's take them most seriously. NO WONDER as we (Walchand College) are blessed with campus arrivals in TE only.
After these golden days ....off course for professors who used to
get their blind feedback just by seeing students attending their lectures in numbers, comes the most-tiring days in life as far as engineering students are concerned. All of sudden professors come up with nice never ending submission for you. And Guess what, now u will hunt for those files...by now sure might have got misplaced. Then the real hunt starts and off course buttering up the (only) person in class who has finished the assignments before deadline and it is this person who is in demand during those Herculean days. Here again, No wonder!
We get ourselves modified into Xerox machine with obvious bad Xeroxes. I mean, bad handwriting with all gibberish stuff. Come on its not that easy to write 200 pages notebook overnight. Alongside we have internals for us, and thanks to these orals for we actually become aware of our syllabus. Imprudently by hearting stuff never heard before. Nevertheless confront orals with rampant confidence and yes with the results as if you had taken the oath of not uttering a word for eternity during that stipulated time of oral.
And suddenly everything seems to be lost. But hey, engineers
never lose hope so easily despite being unsuccessful innumerable times. Determine to slog out right from the first day of PL, although that day never rises, and yes very predictably every question from university paper has to be out of syllabus one and Students coming out cursing the setters deeply...(I wonder how the same paper setter is hale and hearty to set next Question paper. Who knows..?)
Nonetheless, life never stops for an engineer. They will enjoy the holy-holidays to the utmost. Following that making call to localite to know about reopening of college reluctantly and arriving college on one particular day with the logic mentioned above. I have written this article with the sole objective of small time amusement. I am sorry if I have hurt anyone’s' feelings inadvertently.
Cheers ,
Kiran
SHOPPING LENS!!!
Well well, Readers, What is one thing that all girls absolutely go crazy about? No points for guessing.. Indeed it is SHOPPING. They might not even think twice before divorcing with their newly wedded husbands OR breaking up with their serious/doubtful boyfriends if there is a SALE going on in any of the Super Brand Malls and incase (fortunately/unfortunately for either of them) he is not in mood to go out. Now why this mania is commonly found in female species? There are millions of pretexts to buy:
- “Hey, My birthday is coming up, I have no clothes” (When her wardrobe is already inundating with clothes)
- “Hey, I think I have gone slim, May be those tight pair of jeans would fit me well” (She is been working out to try those jeans)
- “Hey, I think, my clothes are outdated and I need to refresh my wardrobe.” (She has shopped worth Rs 2000 already in the last month)
- “Hey, I think its time to set a trend in office/college/even schools/hospitals..”(Hospitals really??)
- “I need to buy a “cool” sweater in winter. So, before that I need to window shop from summer season to analyze the prices across malls of the entire city”….. (But often ending up buying the most expensive item as it looked better than the rest even in SUMMER).
- “Hey, its time to have a makeover” (This starts from buying nail paint first then essential matching apparel second , then obligatory matching shoes(plus socks if required), then the most important thing suiting hair band in that order..)
It is like a recreational activity for girls. Ironically, they also put in a lot of dedication to pick some of the best clothing apparels out there.
Speaking as a girl, who absolutely loves to shop, I would rather make a truthful factual comment that girls can take their entire lifetime to make sure whatever they buy is not just cool but is different and grab every guy’s and for that matter even girls’ attention ( jealousy in this case)
On the contrary, this psychology commonly ends up making them even more confused while buying stuff. Be it a shoe lace or a hair band, it ought to be uniquely beautiful in its brand. This keeps them with no other alternative than to take someone to accompany them. Now this SPECIAL SOMEONE can even be the girl she is not lately keeping up well with!
Most often this someone turns out to be her boyfriend who is being traumatized of a breakup if he is not supporting in this BIGGEST shopping judgment of her life.
When she is asking him her opinion, she is necessarily not asking him. She is only using him as a sounding board of her thoughts where she can make pros and cons about the clothing item. She knows he is a guy and really doesn’t care about these things. She only pretends to make him feel that his opinions matter but is genuinely not the case.
Once this story happens and next time the guy is sure going to carry a newspaper / book while on similar mission!
When she shops with other girls, she asks them their opinion. If she is doubtful, she might say something like this.."I think it is too short/tight/long/baggy/whatever” and they will respond by saying something like this “I get you, May be we should try something else” OR something like this “No, that looks awesome on you! Believe me”
Well, but this past-time has advantages too. Atleast for credit card offerers. One, she can get over her sorrows if she goes out and tries out any of the apparels she normally doesn’t wear or apply (in my case dark blue nailpaint) only to add one more element in her presenting style.Two, she can get mental satisfaction if her friends praise her or for that matter hunt out for similar shopping items the very next day. (Hell yes, she has set a trend!!!)
Three….. and the list goes on (Prejudiced…Me being a girl)
Recapitulating, if you are a guy, make sure you accompany your friend(gal) or gal-(friend) with alacrity. And If you’re a girl, you are welcome to come with me as My Birthday is coming up!!!! (;))
Cheers,
Kiran
P.S. Pardon me if I have made fun of those boy friends dumped on shopping
grounds.
P.S 2. Pardon me if you are one of those credit card default(ers) shoppers. Dudette, you
P.S 3. This article was frivolously written only with the intent of having laid-back humor.
P.S 4. Stop commenting on my nail paint!
