” I was just holding my forehead with the left hand when she went past me.. I thought it was enough and closed my green pen’s cap … Before could I get up she went quite a distance.. More probs now she has started talkin with her friends.. This was the last chance to tell her .. But then fear too catched up cause I’ve seen her ferocious behaviour…

The invigilator was asking me to sit down for those last two minutes..But for why? Crazy man …Ofcourse not from my coll… Two mins I was out of the hall and when I turned to see what she was doin..She was rejoicin in some group this time while she normally runs away from crowd after exams..

It was a special day , two days back.. Cause I came to write with two black pens in my life ..Cause my brother took my watch to his exam yesterday I wanted to make his black pen inkless ..(we’ll name it as NEP… reverse of PEN) ..After few mins in the busy scribbling invigilator asked the NEP for some other student writin exam.. I gave and got back to my writin.. Few mins then as usual stuck on writin I was itchin my ears, head and finally to my beard..the invigilator gave back the pen.. Thought it was the guy one place next to my roll num who asked it.. When I started to use NEP in my paper it dint write.. (Once again I was tricked by my brother.. ll deal with him later..) After finishin the exam , I went up to him and started to apologise mildly to him.. He said ” I got pen only from Sanjeev da.. I dint get from you..”.. Then only did I realise the person who must apologise was Revathi, my next roll num.. But today she’s not available to ask sorry.. She’s just ecstatic to say the least..

Neednt she be.. It was perhaps the last exam for her and the elective she chose ensured that she’d never again come back to write an exam so fastly like her blog..

There was a pat on my shoulder..”Dude .. I’m leavin today eve.. So ll catch you when I return da..” I said “Ya sure da..Tc da .. Have a nice journey”.. For him also it was the last exam.. Not only for these two people indeed for many a no.of dudes and dudettes it was the last exam.. Jubilation all around and I just couldnt slip into the party cause I had one more left..

It was the first week of December the fate was written.. For no reason I was sittin idle and wastin time when people around me were revising and learnin new things from others..When my pal Ram started to discuss about probs, I just came away to learn theory qn from another friend.. As usual the twist was in the exam cause the paper we got was actually more easier with the repeated problem my pal Ram was workin on earlier today… There was no hope of a pass while writin exam ..

I came out of the hall about how others did it… I heard few confident voices and some also supportin me tht “We’ll pass.. Dont think much abt it..”..When I thought “Ok, If so many are goin to fail , Anna Univ will pass me by grace marks or at the max by reval..”

But addin to the woes was the news tht there was a mere attempt question in the paper.. I was payin price to say the least for sittin idle tryin to show “GETHU” but landin up in a steep pit..(I wont say it as dirty.. It was actually deserved one)

It was six months later.. The final sem exam was over.. When many guys cleared all in pre-final sem , I was the novice one to get one for absolutely no reason… atleast in our class..

We come to know how precious a good thing is, only when we move without it.. Only after seein others in rejoice I was able to realise how I’ll be writing a single exam without all those people who , whether intentionally or unintentionally , were puttin some matter in my brain during those exam hours to scribble to get over a 36 on 80..

Bye’s and laughs exchanged in almost every large marble on the department’s floor… Few unofficial rocket crackers to mark the golden moment of most of the people in coll.. Though it was a very hot May day every looked enjoyin atleast internally after the hardwork for almost 50 months..

It seemed its extended to me for two weeks :D .. I was not even havin needed material.. Few days was busy with the StickCricket which I was mad about durin my pre-final sem exams..Then to add to the burden of studyin exam was the Campus Connect program from my employer.. The staff who addressed the openin day gave so much hype tht if I’m goin to fail then I’ll be chucked out even before I go to my trainin center.. My parents more nervous on how my preparation has went before gettin busy with my employer’s coaching in my coll… I lied so badly that “I finished everythin two months back ….Only revision left..” whereas I dint even know wht book to study , when and from where to get them .. After knowin about me for decade and a half in acads my parents did knew wht I’d ve done..But they did wht they can ..Pray for me…

Two days to exam… I thought of takin leave and studyin for exam at home.. But then my parents w’d get tensed and ll then why I lied earlier.. So I went coll and skipped the trainin class … Had my saviour in the form of R.B.(my colleague in few days) in hostel takin rest .. First half of the day.. With few of my experienced pals to take exam on tht afternoon they suggested me to cool down and relax.. And said tht it was the way they used to write those exams.. Atlast after lunch the guys went to exam and R.B. gave his analysis and important questions to study for the exam..

Next day I finally managed to get a leave and did some preparation.. Fear was engulfin me as I was doin only selective questions and it seemed as if history is goin to repeat itself within a space of 6 months..It was now havin impact on my preparation.. I’ve asked R.B to do some prep for me.. It’ll depend on tomorrow morning of what he has done amidst attendin the coachin today..

It was 5.30 PM.. Tension slightly grews whenever its the first one for you.. Be it speech ,be it recieving award/prize and be it writin a_rear.. Few calls from my close ppl and R.B’s support brought down the tension and pressure now.. This was the significant event I’ll remember throughout my life.. Also I’d not forget how one of the demon with whom I chat most of the time dint even message in messenger/chat etc to communicate his wish.. His words would’ve added more confi to me.. I’ll do the damage later to him…

EXAM DAY..

With 2 to 3 select qns and few never heard before qns but suggested by the unmentioned ppl , I entered R.B’s room to ask about the question he promised me he’ll prepare..He tore a single sheet from his little diary and showed the diagram with few key points.. So easy to grasp , it saved my time and also added to my confid.. Suddenly I started feelin confident tht I’ll pass today unless extraordinary events are goin to turn out ..

It was 5 mins to 9AM .. My friend who wrote exam two days back asked me to wait so tht he’ll get ready to give company to me.. Guess wht I did ?

MINESWEEPER……….. :D ..

Had anyone who wished me luck or who support me, been there my skull would have taken a strong blow.. Dont think anyone esp. my family know abt it..

After 10 valuable mins playing game , I was on my way back to the exam hall.. Met other guys who were there to give company…Luckily met Sanjeev and Sam there … Sanjeev looked more tensed than me and wishin by closin his eyes.. :) .. Had he seen me with 10 mins back surely I’d ve faced rebuke from him.. (Sorry machi.. )

Inside the hall.. Question paper in my hands now.. Seemed like history repeatin itself.. Except the qn R.B taught today morning and the few accidentally read qns suggested yesterday, I’ve never heard of any single question in tht paper.. The implication was clear…. I’m still the same but ppl around me now made the difference..(Ppl please dont comment this as modesty… I’m guilty .. really)… I finally finished the first and my last (must wait till results) one with more writing.. It was the first time I wrote 32 pages in my history of UG exams.. As usual then had calls later in the eve about how I did etc.. and then I was waitin in the leave after completin the trainin..

Only few days before I got my results.. Boy need I say ppl around me were more ecstatic and happier than me..

Not many would know tht I’m the first graduate in the path to root of my family tree .. But still I’m not happy the way the job has been done..I’m not a son whom my father will be proud whereas the vice-versa is true..Infact I’m the first one to go pass high school in the family tree.. So whtever I did has and will not be pleasin even to myself .. Hopin to see if I can get satisfaction by makin anyother “first one” honour..

Though this post has been in mind for about 3 months , monotonous, unappealing and excessively boring I felt it’d be good if new as well as old people come to know about me.. This is not the post I’m writin to increase my count hits but its just a part of my gratitude to the souls which saved me as well as many others ..

[My mind turned blank at this point.. Its one of my posts not properly finished..]

P.S : Replace “_” with “R” ..

Btb the “DEMON” is the guy who gave his books for me to study.. So we’ll rewrite the name as “OM DEN” … Dont ask meanin for it ..

Has the Indian Motor international “Bajaj” copied its logo from the great “Volkswagen”?

We’ll analyse it..

vwlogo.jpeg

As one can see this is the logo for the Volkswagen motors. If we just rotate anticlockwise (90 degrees) then we’ll get the followin image.

Just remove the circle in the image and merge the ‘V’ with the ‘W’ you’ll get somethin like the image below..

I dint do anythin to the above image except that I just made the selection of the logo from the first image in the top of the post..

I must appreciate the “BAJAJ” logo designers for making an intellectual copy of a strong rival who cannot claim for what “BAJAJ” has achieved using the logo.. And to support the theory , if you notice the text and background colour of the Bajaj logo are just swapped from that of the Volkswagen logo..

BAJAJ must surely be proud having a designer who has created a successful and powerful logo simply by looking in a different angle at the already hit logo.. Kudos to the designer..

BAJAJ is certainly “DISTINCTLY AHEAD” atleast in logo creation :) :D
