Most of the time it is me who passes the exams, but for once the exams have passed me by . Lol , ok i know that was bad mokkai but can u blame me ? i passed 8 sems of AU exams .
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
There are various factors that have contributed to me acheiving this feat and i'd like to acknowledge them here
First of all, Ara . Without doubt the fellow whom i owe the most to for gettin thro . From teachin me stuff from scratch in the bus durin CAT to telling me the important stuff to study for univ exams to discussing previous years papers on the bus ride to even lending me his text books to study after he sleeps the night b4 the exam , he's been a great teacher . Thx da .
Chandler , who i prolly have bugged the most over the fone tryin to get the important questions and patterns from previous years to ensure i dont have to study an iota more than what is required :-). Also a fellow quite capable of givin me company for all night study and vetti discussions late at night the day b4 the exam .
Hayu , the brainiac. Despite studyin juz the day b4 the exam like us mortals , still gets great marks ... has to do with his handwriting i think :-?? . Great online company on Ym during the nights of studying . Usually on whole night as well meaning i can juz ask him to clarify doubts instead of searchin thro the textbook, i even remember him once teachin me the whole of centralized shared memory @ 4 am the night b4 the exam over the phone :o .
Bala, that rarest of rare breeds, a person who prepares less than me for an exam. The one guy i can actually teach stuff b4 the exam . Teachin him the majority of the syllabus in the 1.5 hour gap before the exam helps me revise as well. And , of course the all important "mapping " we do with 15 mins to spare without which we would not know which set of mugged up words and figures to spew for which question .
Also the guy most likely to lift your spirits the day b4 the exam . After some 'padips' depress you by stating much they ve done and thereby exposing how much u really have left to study , a quick phone call to bala is all thats needed to reassure u that u are not the least prepared ;)
In the first few semesters, many were the plans we would make to finish so n so units by so n so time . Of course none of them were ever followed but that dint stop us from planning .If all that plannning time had been used for stuydin we actually might have gotten somewhere but oh , well . Of course,as the semesters wore on we dint even bother planning.
All my other friends who at some time or other have taught me , provided company ,inspired me ,etc etc ( basically , put up with me ) during exam time .I remember an incident , once Juju asked me @ 12 am to wake him up @ 3am so that he could resume studyin . Dutifully , i called him @ 3 but he dint pick up his fone or respond to messages . So i let fly all the audibles possible in Ym and that woke him up :))
Simba, of course for keeping me company late at night when i was studying . if the a/c was on in the other room tho it wud not think twice to desert me and take the luxurious way out :-
i apologize for the long post ..just think of it as the ravings of a habitual page filler as if it were a AU 16 mark question .

& Finally a thought for everyone whos now an engineer :
"Thermometers are not the only things to be graduated and get degrees despite knowing nothing "
