drowning ipods

Well Hello again
Like I mentioned in one of my previous posts, Mornings in school tend towards being interesting(Limt morning --> interesting). There was a certain very stupid girl(reason shall be understood later) who was talking to Mohit about her ipod in the morning today. At first I thought she was just like any other person taking Tech Support from Mohit but he later explained that she had managed to put her ipod down the toilet.

I am not saying that ipods are bad, they are very good, then why put them in the toilet. And HOW?. How did she manage to put it down there. Well as Mohit later explained, she had put it on the water container(the one used to store water to flush), and it slid down into the toilet bowl. Then she calls him up to ask him what to do. WHAT THE HELL WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR IPOD FALLS IN THE TOILET. get a bloody plastic bag, put it over your hand, and take the fugger out. What else?.

Next, Mohit told her to keep it under a heat source and let it dry in the hope that it will work. Well, her ipod didnt work. HELLOOO!!!.. even if the ipod survived drowning in the water, it probably did not survive the shit bacteria in there.

Anyways, this conversation was followed by a detailed discussion over drowned electronics' items. Mohit, has had many such experiences(but nothing went down there!) and each time his things worked. Fortunately, I take care of things like this and nothing of the sort has happened to me. Though I do remember someone telling me about his cellphone. His cellphone got wet, and he put it in the microwave to dry. Smart thinking my friend. End result, his cellphone blew up.

Yellow!
First and foremost, I would like to announce that I have officially passed class 11 and I think I am second in my class or something like that but who cares. I have passed with decent marks, that is all I will say about them.

Class 12, is very much like class 10, for a very simple reason that it is the board year and teachers just want to teach from first day onwards as they dont want to waste any time. I am not against that but nobody teaches on the first day, you are supposed to have the usual introductions. Not fair.
My Teachers:-
  1. Class Teacher- Mr. Mohit Dey- Also the Computer Teacher
    As Siddhanth would have put it, "Dude hai yaar". Mohit Sir is a pretty cool teacher. Firstly, you get lots of free periods. He has a certain weekly target to achieve and if that target is achieved, you get free periods. Secondly, he can answer practically any question you put towards him, which basically means that he knows the subject well. Thirdly, He always understands when you tell him that you have to go to the Egurufool Lab.
  2. English- Take a Wild guess????..
    Yup, Ms. Vanita Sehgal
    Description- LOL
  3. Maths- Mr. Tijo Jacob
    He is also like Mohit Sir, always in a cool mood. His maths classes are fairly interesting as compared to last year when a maths period meant third degree torture. I have a feeling maths is going to be interesting this year
  4. Chemistry- Mr. S. Sharma
    I think his first name is Sachinder, but we have been told to call him Mr. S. Sharma as he doesnt like people playing with his name. Chemistry tends to be boring at times
  5. Physics- Ms. Vandana Marwah
    Today was the first class, cant say much about it.

Gay movies, Oscars, swallowing flies, etc...

Hello friends
Mornings before exams are exceptionally interesting, there is noise all around but its the kind of noise which can be compared to silence, silence before something big, like the lull before the storm. Everybody is studying, except for a few. I have this policy of not studying right till the point the exam does not begin and hence I can be seen with an issue of TopGear in my hand when everybody has a big fat Pradeep's. The above-mentioned few include me, Dhruv, and a few others.

Today we had english, and I dont think you need to study for that right before your exam. Its a good thing that we now get a preparatory leave for English, cause one can sit back, relax and play games. I, for one, started my course at around 3:00 PM, was done by around 8:30. Yes, that is long, but yea well, I take my time.

Anyways, the morning was fun today as we were talking about the Oscars. Since I dont get any Star Movies anymore, I happened to miss them but I dont think I missed much. There was Ben Stiller trying to act like a cross between Adam Sandler and Nelly, didn't do a very good job at it though. Then there was the much talked about Gay movie Brokeback Mountain. I wonder how anyone came up with an idea like that, I'm glad it didnt win the oscar. We were then joined by Adarsh who was giving his valuable inputs when Siddarth said,"I dont like these movies with one word names"
Me: Crash
Dhruv: Cellular
Adarsh: PHONE BOOTH
(And you all probably guessed how we mustve laughed at that)
And then Adarsh began counting the number of words in that and it dawned upon him that Phone Booth are indeed two different words
The laugh was so bad that Dhruv swallowed a fly, which was followed by an even bigger burst of laughter and Dhruvs sudden change in voice after that delicious little fly. I think he has been much affected by the bird flu and since he can not live without non veg food, moving on to flies now... sweet!!
And just about then, the Shepherd(read Alinda Holla) came and asked us all to move to our classes.
The exam was utterly boring. I was expecting something not too long but due to the extremely boring nature of the paper, I was forced to finish my paper at about 11:00 with no time left for sleeping, hmph. I must congratulate the English Department on how they surprise us with the ever-increasing level of stupidity of the papers. Plus, Literature was 40 marks,'Nuff said.

That done, I moved to my bus and finally finished this months TopGear.
Looking forward to Computers

Torn Apart

In simpler words "Phat Gayi".
So was my state uptil about 1215PM after which I realised that my paper went decent.

After every exam(Barring English), you can classify the students into two groups, those whose exam went extremely well, and those whose exam sucked. Today(Maths), I could see more people around me who belonged to the second group, and I, as a matter of fact, belonged to the same group uptil about the time I mentioned above.

It was a very lengthy paper, it wasnt taking the name of finishing, or khatam hone ka naam hi nahin le raha tha. I was progressing decently though. But the thing was, by around 11:00, I had 3 questions amounting to a total of 14 marks left. I had no idea how to do them and I didnt think I was going to get any ideas. But I still kept trying. 11:10, 1 down, the other 2 didnt seem to want to go down though. Still 10 marks left, what do we do.
Advice: When you are in such a situation, and if all else fails, actually you would be in this situation if all else failed, just keep looking at your question paper and try to visualise the question.
So at 11:10, it suddenly struck me. 11:13, 2 down, I had given up on the last one. I was sitting waiting for the bell to ring. 11:15, sardar's dimaag works again. I asked for the sheet at 11:15, and instead of giving me the sheet, Mr. Anil K dot Verma decided to give me his weird look, everyone else was giving me a weird look too because NOBODY ASKS FOR A SHEET THE MINUTE THE EXAM IS SUPPOSED TO GET OVER. If I had detachable eyes, I wouldve given the look to myself.
Anyways, somehow managed to complete my paper, I dont like it when I have to leave questions like that.

After the very traumatic last 15 minutes, I obviously thought my paper went badly. My first words after finishing the paper were, " Phat Gayi ", as were everyone elses. Nobody was greeting anyone, you could see it on their faces. Nobody said hi, just "phati?" or "lagi?".
And then there was Rhea. She was standing there like a statue, and then went into this weird trance and started shaking everyone around while screaming "40.. 40.. 40". Ah, well, atleast shes getting more than she expected.

Even while coming back, I was either discussing the paper or exclaiming,"Phat Gayi Yaar". I think I said that about 11 times, but whos counting.
At about 12:15PM, a very insightful person asked me the reason why I was so bothered when my paper went left. Very insightful indeed. And the next few minutes, until I reached home, were spent in talking about cars, and TV shows.

Anyways, Im happy Maths is over.
