Ramblings of a madman

   My so called Model Exams starts come Monday. While the uncorrected model papers of the yester semesters still haunts everyone. I think they ended up in the nearby waste paper mart without red ink crossing those wonderfully unwritten answers  and lots of stories right from the birth of Kamal to 50th yr celebration of Kamal in Indian cinema. Ok enough of parody and getting back to business i have my semester in November. The Date has not been confirmed yet as usual as by MU (Madras University). This time it won’t be a cake walk for me. I have a mountain to climb; no i am not making a mountain of an ant mole rather from a heap of books. Just look at the size of them mate! It is surreal.   Being the Stupid that I am, I also signed up to write Clerical Exam for SBI which is also due this November. So the height of Mountain has increased by a few inches now.  I have this habit of immersing myself into books only just before the exams, to be precise a day befo...

Guys i am back with another installment of the Mad-ras university leelais. You may ask what is so great about MU results. Yeah it's great with the precision they keep up in announcing the results. They are so!! on time they always announce a date and deliver the results exactly a month after that date. Can it get any greater than this. I was disappointed with their punctuality last time the one month tripled i got the results weeks before my next semester. Formula for calculating result date: Result date =1000 * (R.D+ 31 days or one month which ever is less) /1ooo R.D = first rumoured date. ( BTW the mutiplied by 1000 and divide by 1000 is just a gimmick to make it more complicated) Talking about the results of the semester i wrote this May they have not delivered yet, obviously considering MU standards. The other day i had an argument with one of my professors about this. Not like i do this once in a blue moon, i do this often. My professor was talking about discontinuing one ...

Here i am back with a yet another  Mad-ras University leelai  as promised earlier. MU had taken madness and monopoly too new level altogether. This post of mine is a testimony to that. If there are things in this world which are hard to come by , this one will top the list. No the book is not a best seller novel not even sold in fact. It's my first year English poetry book. You get to ask every day and get a same reply " It's on its way will be back in a week". One day me and my friend embarked on this journey to solve this mystery.  Finding this book is like finding dead sea scrolls.it is like running treadmill you can run for hours and still be in the same place. We chose not to go that far but to search in our locality. Time: 1st year of my college life 2007. Place: Ranganathan street, Chennai. Me: Dei i want buy the symphony book can you accompany me? Frnd: Ok i want to buy it myself lets go. Me: I don't think we will get this book here. Fr...

While i am writing this, you would be happily putting your feet in some cold water and beat the heat. You know what am i doing sitting here thinking about my next exam which seems to be near oblivion. Have you heard of exams lasting a month. Pretty much similar to that of two planets having different revolutionary periods, Mad-ras University is out of this world (from now onwards MU).They are the masters of making jackasses out of almost everyone. If you expect to fail you will pass, expect to pass you will fail. It is even more tougher to understand it, probably catching osama is easier. I did some observation to come with this What is so special about MU? Exams lasting a month. Vacations between exams ( like the one i am enjoying right now). Quick result publishing within 45 days with 3 days months of grace. Supports creativity. you write your own story and screenplay. Answers last for pages. Hall tick...
