Yes, I still can write and I do have the time !

Thanks to an inquisitive friend who wanted to enter the ‘pseudo intellectual’ world of blogging that I realized the fact that its quite some time and I haven’t been posting anything. Well, the fact that I know that not many people are actually enthusiastically waiting to comment on my next post isn’t very encouraging either. ‘Pseudo intellectual’ is perhaps not the best phrase to describe the blogging community, but didn’t really mean to offend anyone. Frankly speaking, I came across the phrase in the flick ‘Dil, Dosti, etc.’ and somehow it has registered on my mind for no explainable reason as such and I was looking for an opportunity to use it somewhere.

Meanwhile, a lot has been happening from the last post. Probably, one of the things that matter to me was becoming a ‘9-pointer’ for the first time in college. Though its not really a significant achievement considering the fact that this time marks were awarded as magnanimously as one can think of doing it. Many people indeed ended up getting a lot more than they expected, but as far as I am concerned, the marks are not really a shock as I was quite confident of doing better than my last semester, which was my best so far. The biggest joke probably is the fact that there also exist a couple of people who have scored a ‘perfect 10’ ! Of course, it was never impossible here, but then it has never happened before and according to my opinion, shouldn’t really happen. Scoring 9’s and 10’s couldn’t have been easier and more useless like it has become here. Nevertheless, I take pride in my achievement as I think I did cross a barrier and I now believe that I can do better. The spirit needs moral boosts and this definitely qualifies for one. The issue to top it all was the ‘mass hacking’ of the college server over which security seems to be unimaginably thin. Just with a few strokes on the keyboard, a student can effortlessly view the files on the college server. Hope the situation improves once e-IMS, the online Information system is operational again.

Some more news is that I am featured on the ‘Information Brochure’ of my college’s entrance exam this year. Not for ant specific achievement or laurel I received, just the fact that we had a computer lab when the photo session was going on and I was seated at a vantage point in the front row. It did come as a pleasant surprise when one of my friends bought the application form for his sister and saw us featured on it !

Regular news includes placement training going on in full swing along with mba prep. Nothing interesting to write about the things which manage to screw your daily life to such an extent when one looses all remnants of a rational mind. After attending various classes for 14 hours a day, the probability of loosing sanity increases by a considerable degree. Frequent mock tests have started with the frequency being too much of a botheration as there isn’t even the time to reveal the scores or discuss the answers. Have so much more bullshit to fill up virtual space, but signing off for now as I wouldn’t like to scare away the few readers who still go through my posts.
