These test series

This time, while the rest of the IITR world buries its head deep into things like Greval, Deitel, Tannenbaum etc. (for those who don't know, these are names of various writers and books) ahead of the two day test series to be played in various departments of IITR by the deadly profs (wanna hear more about them), I grab my lappy to write this good for nothing blog. well well, i am not going to boast anymore of how less do i study and how great do i perform in TS, but i think its more important to live a life rather slowly with enjoyment and observation than to just hurry and worry about things as silly as TS (there is a complete philosophy behind this...will tell ya some day when i am free).
So what am i observing these days? well too many things...one of them being the GATE. I can't digest the fact that Gate is organized by the same set of people (may be i am wrong as there is IISc as well among the organizing institutes) that organized our JEE. For JEE, i prepared for almost 2 years, for Gate, I hardly spent 2 hours. That's the magnitude of difference. I accept that there is a big difference between the aim: here, i just need to qualify in order to get the matka stipend.
And another thing i observe (and probably have discovered a new theory) is that there is no logic behind taking a quiz in the week of TS. we will obviously study anyway. But then what is the logic of having the quizes in normal times (i.e. non TS times)... we won't study anyway and do whatever u can, we wont study untill the TS time arrives. So in short, there's no logic behind taking a quiz at all (God please...make some prof look at this theory).
Another observation that i noticed just now is that these wild thoughts come to my mind only in times of TS.

Mission Failed

I don't know why whenever i try anything very seriously and devotedly, i just donot succeed. whenever i try to get a nightout for study (well, that hasn't happened for quite some time) i end up having a useless bakar session the whole night. The same thing happened this time. I put up my best to have the Sun Demo this weekend, even missed a class for that (you wont call that a sacrifice although), still i could not get things done, sticking up in petty formalities which have no meaning at all. I even had to sit all through 1 hour, on senate steps, in this chilly winter waiting for a meeting to end up so that I could make something of my plan. I never knew booking an auditorium was such a tedious job. And the worst thing is that in previous days, although i was very busy with the preparation for the demo, yet i had a soothing feeling that things were working out and the tension (it's my first tech presentation after all) will end within few days, all that feeling is gone and i am back at the starting point from where i had started 1 week ago.
Anyway, down but not out. Failures are but for inspirations. I will not succumb to them. The good point that i take out from this bad experience (which i am always able to ) is that I will have more time for publicity on the next time. This demo is, thereby, postponed to 23rd Feb. And i'll try if i can get someone from Sun itself to speak on something.
