this sem...

the second sem has gone in a quite unexpected way-a few good developments, the saarang experience, more courses, give up level acads, elections....its been very very different from what the first semester was-a comparatively quiet, subdued sem with not much activity. the only thing of note that was held on a large scale that i can remember from last sem was shaastra but it too was too high funda for poor guys like me-i was bulbing at every possible event i tried to take part in(ok ok, i dont mean to say that i did manage to do something significant at saarang). the point is that this sem seems to be going so fast that i cant remember whats being taught in classes(shit, when the hell did i attend classes this sem?!?) long enough till the quizzes. and on top of all this, the hostel comp room also has opened giving room to one of the best ways to use spare time(read "time got by bunking unnecessary maths n phy classes"+evening time(when i dont have nss)+post grub time till 1-add that up and i am sure that it will turn out to be much more than whatever lecture hours i attend which usually nowadays is struggling to touch 5 per day)..

now what does all this mean? it means a lot for my acads..a really big lot. i am literally struggling to touch even half the max marks, thats almost equal to the class average. man, IIT has changed me a lot...ya, this is not a claim-its the fact, the plain truth. i am sure there are many IITians out there who will nod in unison to this fact. but, after a bit of thought, it gets you cofused as to who is the real culprit-the sytem itself or the environs or something else...to be fair to everyone, i place the blame squarely on the system-isnt that the time tested way? that too its been proven to be successful to people from all walks of life? so, its the system that has to be reloaded(its not a gun but still...) in a new form bla bla bla.....no use of me putting suggestons here-its not gonna reach the eyes of those having the power in their hands.

enough blog i think...just felt like typing after some a 3 day lull. i have managed to satisfy my hunger....what about yours? :)
