Happy Day :)

I guess this is the longest wait ever. My 7th semester B.Tech. results were announced today. The exam ended on 12th Dec2008. 75 days have passed. Today around 7:15pm results were
out in the university website. I was in an auto, going to Jadavpur to buy a book. My friend Somdas called me and first asked me when was I giving him the treat. Damn !! What’s the marks? When’s the treat? Damn !! Damn !! Finally told me I have got 9.31 out of a possible 10. Cool. Some happy moments cherished.
One of my close friends Rajorshi called me up. We had this thing going since first semester. He beats me in every odd sem and the reverse happens in every even semester, happens unknowingly. He congratulated me for breaking the sequence first time by a margin of 0.43. I thanked him and expressed my desire that I wanted him to beat me in the coming sem. Pretty childish stuffs here
. But now, no time to celebrate or even feel the air of rejoicing coz 8th sem is already knocking heavily on the door !! The only bottom-line of all this I felt was that hard works pay off, but there’s no time to rejoice over it for more than a moment as the very next task expects equal output from you, if not more. However, a happy start to this year.

Considering he has no personal problems or engagements, why would he not attend the classes if they are conducted in such a way that we can’t even think of a substitute of classroom teaching? No, let’s make it very clear. Am not blaming the faculty here. I am blaming the entire system here. Why would a student, who can self-study without attending a single lecture and score above 90% marks, would attend classes? To be allowed to sit for the internal tests? Isn’t this the crappest logic and wastage of talent ? It would have been much better if classroom teaching is organized in such a way that we are looking forward to attend each an every class rather than being forced to do them. The absolute essence of learning and getting educated will come to the forefront, and all these non-sense about attendance and internals would be forgotten. They would exist of course, but of no use, as we all would be having close to 100% attendance !! Just hoping when thing turn around and create more opportunities for students like us to get the best out of the system. It’s time to act, yes, but not in an illogical way. To get the brats attend classes, get some stricter rules out of the bag, but not this, which affects everyone, even the guy who may have genuine reasons to have missed classes. Get a student profile with feedback from teachers to decide on a student, this would help, I guess.



flouting court directive. Its really feels bad when our beloved bookfair has been shifted to a different venue for the same reason yet we continue to pollute the place. Really its time people learn to respect the greenery and not just follow something just it had been ordered. Its a matter of global awareness nowadays to save greenery when they are so much on the verge of decline. And I believe the first steps come by protecting the heritage that we cherish in our own home city.
3kms Of Victoria Memorial and forbidding parking of cars in the Maidan, all went to deaf ears. One of most proud possession of Kolkata, the Maidan, is no doubt losing its greenery at an amazingly fast rate. Cooking stoves and utensils prematurely kill the budding grasses. The smokes are continuously destroying our prestigious structure of the Victoria memorial. Potholes and car tires are not helping the greenery either. Rather more like a picnic spot, and people don’t even bother to reinstate the ground to its earlier state also, leaving the garbage and holes just like that. I really feel sad when pictures
