Scenario: I was studying feverishly for my last exam of the seventh semester…the syllabus was minuscule and the subject matter wasn’t troublesome…even after a study leave of good four days, my accrued know how of the subject was poor…I had to mug up things till the eleventh hour to be able to sit for the exam…
Conclusion: Either it seems that I seldom prefer to grasp things in a calm and composed atmosphere or the level of procrastination needs a serious check…
Usually the mood after semester exams is jovial…there are plenty of reasons to be…but this time it’s a bit tensed…though the impending result is not a concern…wo to jab aayega tab dekhi jayegi…the thing I m perturbed about is, where would my ever increasing levels of carelessness lead me unto…with each semester, the time frame allocated for the preparation stage is squeezing…this time it crossed all permissible limits...didn’t have a hint of diligence during the exams (“nhi aata hoga to bhi kya…kuch bhi likh aayenge, 30 to aa hi jayenge kisi tareh!”,sums up the attitude)…three and a half years into engineering have taught me the art of fatte bazi if not anything else (like say…you are being asked about a tree and u don’t have a clue…tie a goat to the tree and talk about the goat...lol!)...the way I would tackle the last semester really bugs me…kisi bhi improvement ka scope nhi bacha hai ab (farji engineers hi sahi but B.Tech 4 saal me to poori karni hi hai!)…its not a novel thing for an engineering student to study during the last few days before exams…but at least those few days are assumed to be utilized in an effective manner, to have a good understanding of the prescribed curriculum…here its an altogether different story…just a few days after the exam…the topics studied would revive a faint recollection and probably nothing else…
ye sab sochke to lagta hai...kari kyu engineering!!!
