written when sitting at home office ....while watching ants crawl...........
but this will be last post of the BAD==SAD kind.....warna i'll actually lose my mind :D
I am bored to the core
They say ‘every cloud has a silver lining”
We’ll till I get that…I’ll continue whining
Sitting on the shore..Mind wants to explore
But when in mid ocean …it says no more
Same shit, another day,
Different town, the same way
I can’t see a ray of hope…still I think there is some scope
A ladder to climb or an up way rope
It’s better to be silly it’s better to be fun.
So I quit ‘boredom’ and get back on the RUN
Now I’ll be back to old days…be it good ones or the silly PeeJays
But that’s an art where I’m not that smart :)

अंग्रेज़ी में शेर लिखा ....तो हिन्दी भी ज़रूरी है :P
काम के नशे में......ये कहाँ पे चढ़ गया....
चाय पे वो बकर मारना.....ताश में जो जीतना हारना..
वक्त चलते चलते रुक गया....मै बेवजह ही ठुक गया
यारों से बिछड़ गया......मै अकेला पड़ गया
चाय पे वो बकर मारना.....ताश में जो जीतना हारना..
वक्त चलते चलते रुक गया....मै बेवजह ही ठुक गया

random entries of an eternal traveller
i travel again...
whether its sunny or rain.
mindboggling heat or cramping pain.
offcourse i do that for a future gain.
i take the stress, i take the strain.
but seems its all in vain,
making my brain go down the drain.
but i have nothing else to do so...

theories of evaluation
This has been written after continuously getting bad marks :) :)
Dice theory
Each professor does the marking individually for each student. It surely depends on the weight-age of the question- for example a 6 mark question would use a single dice throw and a 15 mark question would include a summation of 5 dice throws divided by 2.
There is surely a faster method to do it,” though I do not know the statistical validity of this one”.
Just throw a dice once and scale the marks to the total marks of the paper. With increasing time pressure this method will be in vogue a few months from despite not being as efficient as the earlier method.
Flash theory
As group work gains importance so do the chances of it being followed in all relevant fields, sadly even correcting answer sheets. The major focus is to save time and also change the arduous processes of marking into an interesting game.
This one is fairly straight-forward a bunch of people sit together to play a game of flash , only difference being , they bet on students marks instead of using money. Each person gets to evaluate one subject, thus the number of people gets restricted by the number of subjects available.
The number of bets should be a multiple of number of student as each bet decides marks of one student in all subjects. If the person desires a strict evaluation the marks are decided by the lowest value card, “each evaluator can chose different marking scheme”. If he chooses to be extra lenient then the highest value card gets in action.
The grand wheel of fortune
This is the simplest game for its not as tedious as dice game not as complicate das the flash game. This one’s simple and specially designed for the evaluators who either are too old to remember the rules and people who are simply bored of playing the dice game for ages.
This has variations for it can be played in any combination of subjects, students, professors………….
The bottomline stays that the marks will be decided by the spin of a wheel; still it provides enough room for the ‘STRICT’ evaluators to play with as in their case the size of sectors containing zeroes occupies larger space.
Dart board
Another reason why I like the grand wheel of fortune is that is can be used for the dartboard game too. Like others this has versions too concentric circles, sectors like wheel game or for art loving evaluators any arbitrary design they choose would decide the fate of students
Just plain bet
This is by far the fastest way to evaluate.
People simply bet on anything, literally anything. It may range from “the time required by Rajnikant to catch a bullet is less or greater than (minus 2) seconds.”
Or it may be a simple one like cricket bets “the persons score will be the number of runs Ganguly scores.”
Weight of the sheet
Oldest theory for globe courses.
The heavier the sheet, the better the marks.
Nothing more to explain.
Disclaimer:
If any of you students gets to choose the evaluation scheme, pick the grand wheel of fortune as it has a scope for fairness of evaluation.
Clause 0.123 of this game says if a student is dissatisfied with his marks then he can challenge the evaluator and if the challenge is upheld by a ‘FAIR INDEPENDENT BODY‘ then…………………..

Matmania Rulez!!
Matmania..........
Term 3 ..alredy past two terms in helll.............. having faced innumerous routine boring lectures (compulsory though) we expected nothing else from yet another Prof; but just one lecture into a MAT-class and the earth seemed to spin the other way round. It transformed the dull sleepy crowd into enthusiastic eager fanatics cheering for every MAT-quote that was uttered in the lecture. those sayings were out of this world .. beyond the moronic normal humans to even comprehend.
every person looked forward to the class... waiting for their hero... for...
sessions full of enlightening moments (laughter mostly) by the man who famously quoted "Sometimes you can guess but if exact information is available you can't guess."
He was the popular guy staging a lone fight against the cruel ; the evil - YOU KNOW WHO
we struggled he struggled but he won it in the end.
Here we follow his management quote
“Manager who is specialized in one subject is not successful
Manager who knows many subjects is not successful
Manager who knows few subjects is successful”
that may explain the limited knowledge (and thus poor grades ) of fellow matmaniacs
as a bait for future success :)

college daze
‘Friendships that last forever’ that’s the crux 4 years in IET. Some studious guys and girls (ALL) were converted to hedonists like us as time passed by.
1st term was the icebreaker then began the fun. We relished evvything right from tirelessly making ED sheets all day in college to the late night parties we had on birthdays. Early morning classes at 8 which we in any case always made on time as all of us valued sincerity and punctuality plus we gained a lot during lectures that made our work during exams much easier (it was a serious comment!!)
The course of time revealed many not so prominent characteristics of people which I take liberty to reveal without giving the names (although everyone can easily identifyJ) we had a PJ king; a ganda dimaag ; some couples (the story of helmets relates better); some people who were ~HAPPY J J.
There were a few genuine geniuses and others who were perseverant; both scored well in exams, but I and a few fellows belonged to third category- neither brainy nor hardworking so we made the most of it enjoying J NOT submitting assignments, bunking and lectures (or getting thrown out) playing cricket, BAKAR at parking are some basic features.............
We had numerous trips to the scenic places 20-25 kms ahead on Khandwa road.
We invented parking cricket; such a tremendous hit that it even dragged the toppers of our class to have a go. It was all going very smooth until something happened that separated us all- the last term exams. The last day was an enigma good coz we were ENGINEERS but sad coz the time we spent here was about to transform into delightful memories.
P.S : GrammAr and spelling mistakes are intentional
