Oru ‘PEN’in kathai
ramanujam April 20th, 2006
Right from my school days I have always enjoyed writing answers for the questions which I don’t know. I never tend to leave any of the questions blank but in college model exams and unit tests it seems very boring even to write the answers for the questions which I know. Way back in school gel pens and ball point pens were not feasible and so I used to resort to fountain pens filling ink everyday. A gel pen for one exam and a ball pen may be for two proved too costly. But now I have written 4 model exams with the same pen which I used for writing class notes for 3 weeks but still the ink has not even dried up one third from the bottom. Saving paper, ink and India’s economy.
On an average 30 people write exam in a hall and almost 50% of the people start sleeping within an hour. (We are supposed to stay in at least for 2+ hours). I usually don’t sleep, I blabber something in the paper or parakku paapaen. Today they announced that those who are sleeping would be made to go to the exam cell and then see the principal.
Today I had computer architecture exam and I have loved writing such exams because the teacher seldom reads the long theory scripts, so it was my day….
Last week I was taken aback reading this in Mark’s blog, he said that some students in his college were suspended for writing some weird stuff in the answer scripts. I usually write something pertinent with the answer or write the same line again and again like …“It helps in quick data retrieval and data can be retrieved fast and easily with it and so it becomes easy for retrieving data from it quickly…. ”
Today there was a question “Write in detail about secondary storage devices”.
It was a 16 mark question and generally 4 to 6 pages will do. It started writing something which I knew, hard disk is a magnetic disc, tracks, gaps *blah* *blah* *blah* and filled two and half pages with a diagram for half a page. Then my turn….
“The amount of data stored depends on the capacity of the hard disk says Undertaker. I have a 40GB hard disk and it is really insufficient and difficult to store a lot of data but Boobu has 80GB hard disk and my friend has a 160GB stone cold stunner hard disk…”
Next is floppy disk, I drew something like a floppy and started putting bits…Floppies are really out of data and are used only by fucking users and so don’t use floppies…”
In school days the bit putting subject was History and Geography but my history mam read each and every line and would spot even the spelling mistakes and geography sir knew the subject very well. So the burden fell on Sanskrit where the sir read only the slokas and never minded about the narrations….I have seen such answers in my brothers answer paper. Actually the scene will have a set of slokas and we have to give the narration after each sloka.
“Describe the meeting between Rama and Ravana in the battle field”
The battle was very fierce and Rama rock bottomed Ravana and then there was an upside ankle lock. Ravana suddenly caught the rope and the umpire relieved Ravana from the submission. Sita yelled ‘come on’ Rama from the stands. After interruptions from Lakshmana and other asuras Rama won the battle with a pin fall.
The next two exams are Operating systems and Visual Programming, some what theory papers and I am not gonna leave the chance!!!
