The exam time is the time when our best creation comes out,the discussions regarding world politics to arrange marriages(Akshay still finds it strange while my condition is best left untold)and to even career counselling of frnd's sis.
One such exam had lead to an amzing discovery.....The no 8086 has become a horrifying name among us.....Well it is the name of the device which made "kala bandar" an electronic cannibal......Anyways i was still trying my best to recover from the after shocks of the pin diagram when shantanu the grt entered with a book in his hand and asked me abt my condition (what can i say nothin makes u feel better to know tht u r not the only stupid person) and i had nothin to say except giving him a confused look for wat is the subject all abt.....Then jolly entered and his exam looks of overgrown beard and hairy chest(childhood prob) reminded me of the movie "Dunston checks in" who like him was still confused why was he here(in an engineering college in jolly's case).Then came the time for the hostel allotment(believe me ppl r more bothered abt gettin a room then scoring marks in our coll).three of us were quite concernedabt the room allotment,mind it me and jolly already got the room while shantanu still had a day to go for it.So u can say we just sat with a book in our handand wondering which room our frnds got.it was quite strange that we mainatined silence when shantanu got a message tht a chapter has been removed from our exams...so we had a moment of celebration which lasted for an hour.suddenly shantanu described an unfortunate event....Well he was not in opinion of the placement of the keyboard keys,he had a prob with "c" being placed next to "x" becoz once by mistake he "wrote wait a se_"(my editor akshay asked me not to use an offensive wrd ) instead "wait a sec".
Now the moment of our creation jolly came up with an idea of havin a room sized keyboard,whose keys wont be tapped with ur fingers but with some drum sticks.Well u can c the ironywhile we were studying microprocessor which has reduced the size of computer and its components while we still preferred the traditional "charles babbage"one.U can say its our "indianness" tht we preferred things to be traditional or in my case my "leftism"(myself being from land of bengal) that reforms were believed to be best for upper class(toppers, u can say).Well u must be very confused that how the topic transited from appearances to tension for room allotments to keyboards and finally to politics ,i mean everything except microprocessor .....well am sure we were sufferin from acute exam fever.also u must be wondering wats was so interesting abt this story that i am sharing with you.....but after all how does it even matter??We are all "VELAS" afterall!!
