Mid-semester exam.......

Exam time...
So for me , time to perform another exam ritual( 28th feb. ) . Mid-semester exams are here, my last in "becoming-engineer" life( 8th and final sem this is ). One important statistic regarding theory papers exam , this will be 81st time i shall be writing theory paper mid-sem/end-sem exam ( no offence to so many lab. viva/performance/lab quiz exams ) .Surviving so many exams is demanding and this took 3 and 1/2 years (long time ) .

Before joining (BIT) , i used to hear what life in engineering college is , from seniors . Now , i have experienced all those things ( time to give juniors ,funda , how to live engg. life ). So , funda was simple , give your best during exam days ( cram is the keyword ) .No need to torture oneself 2 weeks before the exam , and certainly not to bother what is being taught in the classes. It took me sometime to adjust to new setting , and selective study became "mantra". Other path was to become "loadu", "maggu ", "frustu" , " padhaku" ( desi words for studious guys ) . I was never "cool" nor "studious" , middle path i chose .Whatever , my next 10 days are busy days ( study days ) , i just wish the exam time passes fast . Looking forward to normal "day-to-day" life ( 7th march , mid-sem ends ).

Looking back , last one week was eventful here in our college . There was cultural fest ( BITOTSAV' 09 ) , 18th to 23rd feb . Very entertaining days were there , i.e heritage night , music night , dance night etc. to name a few . I enjoyed music night very much, it was good to listen to "music talents" of our college. However, best moment came when "Band of Boys" came in our college on 23rd night. Everyone enjoyed so much , all "non-dancers" ( including me ) danced a lot. I can say i never danced so much in my life , and that too besides the stage "band of boys" were performing will be easily part of my "yaadein" from my college days.

@Debjit : i'm not sure about centurians, but surely some "nervous 90's" can be there. Minute in exam is very important , we try to write many things , end up writing "wrong" things.

@Zlaek : Best of luck for ur "12th board exams".Board exams were big fun every with every1 wishing good luck ( exchanging "good-luck" before exam has always been pleasant).

Everyone's faces are worth watching in last minute. Camera should be allowed for last "5 seconds".hehe...best of luck again!!!
