"IMPACT OF CHETAN BHAGATH "

after counselling i used to dream everyday about how my life is going to be in college .....
through out my intermediate i was motivated by the life in a good engineering college like many others ...
finally i landed up here ...
i came with many expectations like everybody ....
falling in love and getting a good job are the major one's
as i cant get a job in first year itself i moved on to pursuing the other dream finding a good match ...
i had a lot of shyness when it comes to speaking to girls as i never spoke to anyone before ..
when there nothing was interesting in college all of a sudden it happened ..
our faculty announced for an exam ..
which was not at all important academically but made a watermark in memory ..
the exam was of no use other than frightening the students ...
the exam was about writing a program for the question that has been asked ..
every body got different programs some people got very easy programs like fibanoci series ...
their faces were shining like as if they won a medal in olympics..
the seating arrangement was random ....
as the exam was held in lab all of us were seated side by side ..
after getting the question paper i went through it and i got the one which i never heard of...
then i have browsed the whole class at a glance .. everybody was writing seriously except few ..
then heaved a sigh of relief as i got company...
there was a guy on my left side has already completed one side of the answer sheet and was writing seriously on the other side ...
i have checked out the question he has got.. i got puzzled after seeing the question he has got it was conversion of temperatures from foreign heat to celcius..
which barely takes half paper to write ... i was blushing as i couldn't laugh in exam hall the examiner saw me blushing
he was about to ask something(definitely about why i was blushing) and i
coughed to divert him ...he understood it but dint ask anything as he know what the answer going to be ...
when this was happening the girl who is on right side of me raised her voice and said "sir its over"
she was the first one to finish it in the whole class ..
by hearing her i turned my face curiously to see who is she???
i dint see her face properly as
her hair were untied and covering half of her face ...
examiner asked her to wait for while ..
i had copied few programs on my mobile and i took out my mobile to see the answer...
i held it firmly under the table so that no one can see ..
i dint notice the examiner approaching me as i was busy in checking answer ..
she signaled and i got alerted slipped the mobile back into pocket ..
and looked at her.. finally i have seen her full face ...
i had never seen her in class before ...
she was laughing at me ... it dint embarass me as i never made a girl laugh like that ...
instead i was happy about it ...
after few minutes i turned to her and asked quitely are you really done ??
she laughed once again ....
i realised that it was a stupid question ...
i showed my question paper and asked whether she has any idea about it ...
she responded positively ...
i was about to ask her "could you help me doing this .."
she started writing something with pencil on back of her answer sheet ...
after a minute she knocked the table and shown what she has written ...
it was answer for the question which i got .....
as i cant see it properly i was copying it slowly...
meanwhile examiner came and warned her she managed by saying that it was rough work ...
when the examiner was busy at other end i manged to grab her answer sheet and started copying it quickly ..
she was asking my name instead of askingfor her answer sheet ... i dint reply as i was busy in copying ..
oh.. you are busy.. she answered herself..
when i was about to finish he was coming our side ..
i dropped her sheet as i couldn't pass it she took it and erased it ....
i was left with my knowledge ....
this was our first confrontation ....

our way of preparing should never stop evolving . . . . .

there's no exaggeration in saying that this is the most toughest competitive exam in the world to crack until the meaning of tough has not been changed.the beauty of this exam is people holding any degree can appear for exam.this makes it one of the very few exams which don't concern about the major in degree.as people from very diverse appear for the exam the selected candidates get lot of exposure which is an added advantage.
       coming to the preparation of the exam we have to introspect ourselves before following particular strategy and one should be ready for the changes which may come with any notification.the aspects we should introspect are the time that we can spend on books effectively.why i mentioned effectively here is there is no point in studying for 18 hours if you feel dizzy when you studying.its not only about the quantity but also about quality.
   what gives us motivation . . .
we should keep ourselves motivated throughout the preparation.as motivation is not a material for being constant always we need to get the motivation every time we feel low.we have to list out the the things which motivates us the most and use them when ever we needed.
 am i avoiding if it is hard . . .
there may be some topics we need more revisions for better understanding. or some are very hard to understand for the first time.we should not avoid those topics as every topic can be a question area for this exam.
am i deviaiting from my path . ..
as there are many distractions in the form of other jobs and the joyful life enjoying by our friends.
clarity on our goal should out weigh everyone of those things because kush paane ke liye kuch kon apadta hai .....
                  and some other aspects we should introspect as per the need.
before following a strategy we should make it sure that whether it is compatible to us . there is no point  in mastering one subject at the cost other .we need to consider the time available and rate of our studying capacity before going through a book. it's most important to analyzing previous papers and getting edge over quality and pattern of the questions and practicing the questions of similar pattern.
        our preparation strategy should not be rigid.it should always be flexible to accommodate the changes that come in the path of preparation.OUR PREPARATION STRATEGY SHOULD BE CONSTANTLY EVOLVING it shows that there is no progress if the strategy is same
       
 

the moment your views are coincided with your favorite author . . . .

before starting about what coincided i wish to explain why he is my favorite author.
          i don't really know what happens to the majority of the students the moment they enter the graduation they'll put their academics in backburner. is it the impact of freedom and colorful life or they wanna prove talent is not grades i dint really understand. its the place where every student comes up with a matured mind atleast biologically.
         this is the time when most of the people start reading books which are not academic like novels,stories,magazines etc.as of my knowledge almost all of these people start their reading with CHETAN BHAGATH's books .there are many different reasons like simplicity of the language , his description about the situations ,theme of the story what not everything attracts us to read these books.
as most of the people i also started my reading with one of the books authored by him .what i found good about his books is they are easy to understand ,they don't take much time to finish and especially the humor.after reading his books my english reading skills have improved a lot which is very important in answering comprehension in competitive exams this made him my favorite author .
        recently i have read his book what young india wants in which he has drawn attention to the key problems that should be fixed for a better india .in some part of the book he has written about the necessity to learn english as its the medium to access many of the important things which gets us knowledge and improves our wisdom and learning english does not mean that undermining our mother tounge. after reading these lines i felt very happy about my analytical skills which are very important to lead a successful and satisfactory life.i too did have the same opinion about english .

the mistakes that i've made . . .

after pursuing graduation i joined in civil services coaching . not getting any job,my father's dream of i becoming a civil servant , and my interest in diversity are the major factors which compelled me to undergo this coaching .
        I used to attend the classes regularly with lots of enthusiasm and listen classes very carefully as they were very interesting and imparts a lot of knowledge which is almost impossible to get this kind of knowledge in these many diverse subjects.I strongly recommend the people who have enthusiasm to gain knowledge about society ,  to understand why govt is doing particular things ,and why does it rain more during monsoon season , how does the policies and politics of the different countries effect india,what is sensex what is stock market to attend the civil services coaching .
        and it teaches you an important thing in our life how to read a news paper? it changes your perception towards the world .
       coming to my journey of five months of coaching , there's no exaggeration in saying that its the most sophisticated period of my life .It's the period when i got exposed to whole lot of things . met with people from different sections . it's only after meeting these people i realized my real potential ,they boosted my confidence , one more important thing that i should mention here is about my communication skills .
which went up like a jet rocket .it was only because of these skills i failed to get job .
    after a tough preparation of a year i failed to clear prelims.i knew that the most important trait that
every aspirant should develop is strong mindset.as i developed it the disappointment of not clearing prelims dint bother me much .I started introspecting myself started analyzing the all possible flaws that i had .
i have made a list of the mistakes that i have made  . . .
the list is
      1] studying with out analysis
                      { i wanna share few examples i've spent almost 20 important days on a part of history called midieval india which hardly fetched me 4 marks , one of my peer mr.ravi almost neglected this topic and laid more emphasis on modern india which is important question area . }
     2] failure in finding sources
                       { i came to know about bible of economy ramesh k singh in the middle of my preparation
and dont know about a good material for environment and bio diversity till the end of exam}
     3]preparing in isolation
                        {this might be helpful to the people who have a good idea about the sources and good contacts of he people who already have appeared the exam .but this is the major drawback of mine.i never tried to participate in discussions and forums . and i never read any blogs of experts. }

AND the positive part is when i was watching random videos on youtube i got struck at one which was about 80/20 principle. which was very relevant to me . it gave lot of examples like 80 percent of the crimes are made by 20 percent of the criminals etc ..
  one idea popped in my mind is it applicable in my case also ?? instead of giving equal importance to all subjects and all topics in every subject why shouldn't i  identify some topics which are more relevant for this exam.and prepare thoroughly than others .
 this one idea changed me complete style of my preparation . i started analyzing the topic which i am going to read . what kind of questions can be asked ? and how many ?


           
                     

GABE defines love . . . .

i have seen many movies in which love has been defined but these two impressed me the most . . .
gabe (little manmattan)a seven year old kid realizes what love is after having an altercation with his crush rosemary . . .
he realizes that . . .in his words . .
""" Suddenly, I knew what I had to do. Love isn't about ridiculous little words. Love is about grand gestures. Love is about airplanes pulling banners over stadiums,
 proposals on jumbo-trons, giant words in sky writing. Love is about going that extra mile even if it hurts, letting it all hang out there.
 Love is about finding courage inside of you that you didn't even know was there."""
(i found it very interesting because every thing has been said in kid's language like airplanes,jumbo-trons)
the second is in the movie called aftersex
   a sophisticated young lady(leslie) explains it to her friend(christopher) . . . it goes like this . . .
"" Love is not negotiable. No, not love. Love is a guessing game. And that's the beauty of it, there's no guarantees. It's like diving into a pool of water without knowing if it's shallow or deep.
 Sure, right, if it's shallow you end up hurt and paralyzed from the neck down. But if it's deep...(a bit of silence) it's a leap of faith.
 It's like throwing yourself out there without any guarantees. And that's what life's about! ""
     both of them have been explained in a simple language which even a layman can understand . . .
  the subjects that have been used to explain them are really adorable . . .

i realised that writing is not something that can be done with only beautiful expressions . .
its involving in the character that you are writing for. . .  its not you who really writes . . . its just penning how the character that you are in speaks and reacts in that situation . . .
   this has been done in both the cases . . .

NIKHILLLLLLLL . . . . .

it was kiran sir's class . .
we dropped into class due to various reasons . . .
one of the very classes that all of us was presented  . . (that day must have gotten some numerological or some other significance  . . .)
kiran sir never used to draw figure on board (i dont know whether it is because height constraint or he is bad at drawing . .)
he used to pick up a student to draw it . . .(most of the times nikil bhayya got shot . . )
as the class was going he has got a figure which needs to be drawn on board . .
as usual he was searching for somebody to pick up . .
   everybody's eyes were on nikil bhayya as it happened most of the times  . .
nikhil : rey this asshole gonna pick me again ...
         and started seriously writing some thing in notes keeping head down . . .
           (he dint have any notes but managed to grab someone's . .
         and nothing important has been said to write down )
         and thinking that its very difficult to find me now . . .
 at that moment that magical word came out of sir's mouth with high pitch showing lots of confidence (which misses while teaching . . ). . . >>> NIKHIL
      that single word turned the whole class hilarious . . .
nikhil : (smashing the book on floor and
           induke ra nen class ki rananedi . . . )
   at that moment the expression that he had carried out to convey this whole thing deserves  . . . .
         

exploting situation ...

it was vlsi final exam . .
we know that everybody will be busy with their spectrums and decided to enter the class just a minute before the exam . . .
i forgot to carry scale which is necessary for this exam . .
and there was no time to get it from stationary or stealing it from somebody else . .
i thought that i can use my friend's scale who is next to me when its free . .
the next moment examiner has warned that if i find anybody exchanging anything  i will throw them out of class . .
i had a last choice . . convincing somebody to break his scale into two . . .
i started searching for somebody who is enough dumb to get convinced  . . .
as the examiner already started distributing the question papers i had no choice to move out of my place  . . trusy striked my eyes . .
then i started convincing trusy who is behind me ..
me: dude i forgot my scale . .
       break your scale into two i ll buy you another one ..(both of us know that i am lying . . .)
trusy: was silent for a moment with a simple expression on his face if i voice it, it goes like this
         (asal scale unda ra neeku ???)
me: understood that its not gonna work out .. have to do something else ..
       by that time everybody started writing  . . .(the whole class was silent ..)
then an brilliant idea popped in . . .immediately i turned back and grabbed(he tried to stop me but he was late . . ) his scale which was placed on desk and broke it into two and placed an half back there ...
every thing happened in two seconds . . .
when i broke it it made a sharp noise which everybody has listened as class was silent and turned their heads to see what was it . . .
i was acting like nothing was happened  . . (seriously writing some thing  . . . . )
at that moment his condition was like thief bitten by scorpio . . .
he cant do anything as it was damn exam . . .
