Its been 4 months since I scribbled something on my blog. What could be the reason ??? To be frank... there is no reason as such. Am I lazy ? Am I ignorant? That is not the case. I see my blog daily and feel like posting many things here. But something/someone really stopped me doing so.
Finally the term has come to an end and thus an end to my college life. Am I going to miss something here? I dont think so. When compared to my college life at PEC, the life at L is nothing. Though I came here with so many expectations, I couldn't enjoy most of the time. Ofcourse the people are different and their thinking is different. I am yet to get my degree and so I prefer not to comment on this at this moment.
What did I do in these four months?
The answer is "something" that I couldnt achieve for the first four terms.
What ever I earned in the first four terms looked small when compared to the achievements that I earned in the fifth and sixth term.
Why is it so special?
It made my CV look good.
Are the CV points ultimate?
I dont think so. "Personal Satisfaction" is the ultimate measure of an achievement and I truly felt happy looking at my Marks sheet at the end of term 5.
I am leaving campus today for a 20 days break and this is the first time I am gonna get such a long break and ofcourse it is not of any use.
I will continue writing my posts in the old style and not exactly the way this boring post has come.
This blog will remain active till Mar 18th.
ruffian.. I just like this word... its not that its different/posh/stylish... its just that.. it made me reach my friend

I wish I could wish someone that way
Recently I have come across this video on youtube. It was such a lovely video and I became emotional looking at it. Its really good. I have never seen such a video till this time.
Its about a little girl - lilly. Her parents gave her surprise. The best part of the video is her innocence and her excitement. When her parents told her the surprise she started crying. it was so emotional but very beautiful.
Here is the link to the video..
Till now, I have seen this video atleast for 20 times. I think I cant stop the count increasing. Such a beautiful expressions and such a cute little girl.
Also, she tries to dance even while crying and that shows how pure her love is towards her parents.
Coming to statistics about that video. This video has been uploaded on 10th october and till now it has more than 43 lakhs hits. This figure shows how good the video is. I think in recent past we might have never heard of such an awesome count. Also, the video has been viewed across the globe.The video has 10k comments. Almost every 2 in 3 comments talks about "how emotional they felt".
Even I felt emotional when I saw that video. I wish I could give such a beautiful surprise to someone.
Happy Birthday Keerthi
Happy Birthday Keerthi...
Keerthi was my colleague at HSBC and a good friend of mine.
Since I have given Chaitanya Varma a gift, its time for Keerthi to grab one from me.

Once again Happy birthday
Happy Birthday Chaitanya Varma
Finally I am wishing Chaitanya Varma on his birthday.
Many Many Many happy returns of the Day Chaitu.

From Quizzes to Assignments....
In the first term, we used to have atleast 8 - 10 quizzes in the whole term. Which means 4-5 quizzes pre-mid term and 4-5 post mid term. So, right from 3rd week onwards we had some quiz. This means we were studying for quizzes from 3rd week and goes on till 5th week. After 5th week, we had mid-term exams, resulting in a 3 continuous weeks of love with books. Of all the quizzes, I used to write one quiz properly and that too it must be an easy paper. I never used to concentrate on quizzes.
In fifth term, till now I have written only one quiz. From next week onwards our mid-terms are starting. Effectively the quizzes count drastically reduced by 80%. Then how these marks are compensated? We are now given enough assignments to compensate the quizzes. Its a tradition that is being followed and not new for our batch. Why is such a tradition required? Because of simple reason - we have become lazy. :) . Yeah, people dont want to open books now. In my case, almost 4 weeks are over and I am yet to open a text book. I read only one subject till now just because I am afraid of that prof and I accept that I am afraid.
What is the advantage of assignments? Most of the times, assignments are group tasks. So what?
Group tasks are just for name sake because group tasks are done by an individual in the group, the so called hard worker. One thing that I can see clearly these days is that the count of free riders have drastically increased. I am no exception. Last term I almost shifted my room to computer center. I spent most of the time in CC studying. This term, I hardly went there. Now, the winter has just started and people dont even prefer to come out and with the laziness I have, I think I dont even go to classes !!!!
Coming back to assignments - disadvantages and advantages. One disadvantage with assignment is that the range of marks doesnt differ. The difference between maximum and minimum could be at max 2 or 3 marks. But in case of quizzes, the difference is the maximum marks for which the quiz has been conducted. Ultimately, this thinking results in decrease of the motivation factor to work for assignments because people start thinking that they can put the same efforts in preparing for midterm and endterm exams for which they could get the highest marks. Great thinking. I hope I dont go with empty brain for midterm exams thinking that I could put in efforts for end term exams...Its all my perception....
Its hard to hide...
Few days back there was an incident that happened in the college - which was totally unexpected.
The incident was based on my birthday. I dint tell any of my friends here about my birthday and one of my friends, sai, saw my blog on Oct 13th. He is a regular reader of my blog and I know he would see that. Also, I expected that he would read it completely, especially last few lines, and would not tell anyone.
But as soon as he saw my blog, he posted in a facebook group page, created by telugu people of IIM L, known as TMTAH. The group contains a list of friends with whom I am close. Ofcouse, those are the only people with whom I am close. This really bothered me a lot. I didn't tell anyone about my birthday and when I saw my name appearing in the group as if I did something wrong (My perception).
Immediately I called Sai to take out my name. But he was busy with some-other work and couldnt login. This ultimately led the secret revealed.
The next part was simple. I should start convincing them that I am not interested in celebrating. But, I felt convincing is secondary and primary could be how to face the comments that they are gonna throw at me. I remember how I behaved when I came to know that Raghu was hiding his birthday. I almost yelled at him. But it was then I realized I also fall under his category and so I stopped asking him why he wasnt interested in celebrating. It took sometime for me to adjust and show my face to others and become normal. Now everything is normal as no one has taken it seriously. Dont know how they understood that / left the total matter. Good for me.
By the way, thanks Teja for the wishes :).
Thats it...
