2 weeks of B-Skool classes and my 10 point gyaan

I am sure, each one of you must have also felt the same…Here is a list of things I discovered…

1. I figured that I can multi-task in class. Reading a novel, feigning to be deeply engrossed in class (with head nods at irregular intervals of time), and completing assignments for the next lecture.
2. Insomnia has no better cure than subjects like MTM
3. Even the loveliest ‘subjects’ can be made drab and dull.(Think Adam)
4. Even HR could be made interesting enuf for a 2 year study
5. Networking is the buzzword, how else will I complete the assignments(hats off to the enthu public around us)
6. Come Fin classes, and engineers get the real feel of being midgets in class. Commerce guys achieved in 3 what engineers couldn’t even after 4!
7. E-learning negates the basic purpose, the “e” part. The junta hates e, printers and photocopiers in and around the insti having a tuff time making the e-stuff on paper.
8. Jargons fill in the voids in content
9. Clap for anything and everything. When someone is caught dozing off, when someone answers, when the faculty fails cracking a PJ, whenever…..
10. Remember we were given 2 bags on the 28 th of June? Guess they had a couple of books… the best use that I have found is to use the plastic bags to store laundry. Pune has been only rainy days n Mondays to me…

Six Degrees of Separation

Have you heard about the ‘Six degrees of separation’ rule? It says that any two people in this world can be related using six steps (acquaintances) in between. I haven’t confirmed its validity, but sure would love to do so.
God knows that I’d give my right arm with the left leg thrown in as a bonus to establish any kind of relationship with Ms. Jolie.
Imagine walking up to her, she bedecked in all her pouted glory, and be able to say, “Err, Angelina… Do you know X? He is Y’s brother whose father Z is my father A’s first cousin B’s son C’s professor… So now that we know each other so well, wanna tag along for a Madrasi cuppa?”
So, I’m all or this rule; but I’d be heartbroken if the same applies to the bumbling idiot Bush. I do not want him to come up to me and say, “Hey mate! Aren’t you from India, the country that lies east of Iraq and Afghanistan, West of North Korea and South of China?” And this is assuming that he gets his geography in order.
So hail the rule and to hell with Bush.
