Funny Moments In College

1. EG professor's voice was so feeble that even he couldn't hear himself talk. Attending EG class was analogous to watching a mute movie. Venkatraman was so fed up with EG class that he started writing Sri Rama Jeyam during EG hours!

2. During the first semester, the last but one bench was shared by Venkatraman, Balaji, Ganesh(me) and Karthik(Order of seating from left to right). Chemistry teacher had announced a test for which neither me nor my bench mates came prepared. Each one thought someone else will come prepared and the rest can copy from him. A mega flop presumption. When we came to know that no one came prepared, Venkatraman came up with a bright idea. He said he'll copy from the book, Balaji should copy from him, I should copy from Balaji and Karthik should copy from me. As soon as the test began, Venkatraman started implementing the plan. Things went on well till he completed filling his front side of the first sheet. Then he turned the sheet to continue writing the answer not waiting for Balaji to copy. So, I tried to turn his sheet and he tried to prevent me from doing so and in the process, his answer paper got crushed. He was enraged and crumpled my answer paper in return. Seeing us fight, Balaji started laughing. Seeing him laugh, I tore Balaji's answer paper. Thank God the teacher cancelled the test or else I would have been beaten black and blue by Balaji.

3. During a class test, Dhanasekar copied every single word from my answer paper including my NAME!!

4. EG professor asked us to buy a rolling roller from him. It's MRP was 18rs. He asked everyone to bring 20rs. He asked us to come according to our roll number with the money to collect the rolling roller. Everyone except Laxman went with 20rs. He alone came with 18rs. The EG professor collected 20rs from the student, gave him the rolling roller and the remaining 2rs. This continued till it was Laxman's turn to go next. He handed 18rs to the EG professor. The professor responded by saying "yow, nee irabadhu rubha tha ya, na rendu rubha tharen(You give me 20rs and I'll give you 2rs)". Laxman sarcastically said "Sir, idhule correct ah 18rs irruku(I've given you the exact price - 18rs)".The professor said "yow, adhu paravalaya, nee irabadhu rubha tha ya, na rendu rubha tharen(That's alright but you give me 20rs and I'll give you 2rs)". Laxman cursed the old professor for being so dumb. He went back to class to get the 20rs, gave the money to the professor, got the change and the rolling roller!

5. Maths teacher made a test null and void as she knew the entire class had copied. She went from one bench to another asking the students what they had copied in the test. Everyone said jacobian. When she came near Nagaraj, she asked "What is your name?" and Nagaraj said "Jacobian"!

6. On the day when we were asked to collect the provisional certificates and consolidated mark sheet, I asked Dhanasekar whether he remembered the names of all the staffs right from the first semester. He said yes. I asked him "Who handled CA(computer architecture) for us"? He said Devi Bala(name of a theater in Chennai) instead of Kamala Devi.

Pleasant Nostalgia

I came across Einstein's theory of relativity when I was in eleventh standard, where it was explained with an example of a guy sitting near a girl for an hour and a guy sitting on a hot stove for a second. Fortunately I still have my back intact as I didn't try to experiment the quoted example even though the first example was quite tempting. But my college life really did strike a chord with Einstein's theory of relativity. Every minute of my college life was certainly a moment to cherish. When I think of all those fun filled, jolly moments, my college life seems to have been an eternity. But when I think of my college life as a whole, it's just 4 years. Time went by so quickly that I fail to accept 4 years as 4 years! Whatever be the case, the four years of college life from 2k4 to 2k8 will remain as one of the most cherished phase of my life. The symposiums, industrial visits, final year project, week of e3, class hours, hostel galattas, standing outside principal's office, culturals and not to forget the birthday parties and the birthday bums will remain as evergreen memories. All these moments are priceless. Why? Cuz my classmates were a part of it. I don't know what the future holds for them, but they'll certainly stay as legends in my heart.

luv ya legends.
