Week one

Lecture 1 : Applied Mathematics 3

I didn’t wake up in time for this one, but from what i heard it was all about the students giving their own introductions, which were, umm…entertaining to say the least.

“My name is X, My height is 5 feet 16 inches”

“My name is Y Z. My name is Z, Y Z. My name is Y.”

“My name is A B. My hobbies are aero-modelling.” “MODELLING??!!!” “No no, Aero-modelling” (This was a first year sitting in our class by mistake, something he didn’t realise till more than an hour into the lecture. Hopefully the rest of the batch is brighter! )

9 am really isn’t everyones time :)

Lecture 2 : Applied Thermodynamics 1

One hour through the lecture, slowly i realise that i’m a closed system, energy in the form of sound waves is still entering my body, but i’m trying to kill myself by not breathing, thus no transfer of mass is permitted. Finally my medulla kicks in and i let out a round of expletives, only to be met with another question on boilers a person with an IQ rivalling an autowalla can answer.

Students interested in practical experiments in dilation of time and time travel are requested to contact Mr X in the ME Department. IF he hasn’t been arrested for mass murder or already been killed. Warning : People with low blood pressures do not attend.

Lecture 3 : Strength of Materials

We actually have a PhD teaching this subject, so she’s pretty good. I nod along with some stuff i understand and all of a sudden she smiles at me at the end of every concept she explains. I nod along. More smiles per hour. Till i strike a rough spot and frown. I actually got a one to one explanation for that! Good thing too, she isn’t one to take chances with, enough warning have been received not to skip a single lecture of hers, but the only problem is that once a week its at 9 am. In short, i’m going to be hated by her soon enough and will have to write my journal thrice. Or maybe twice if i cry in front of her. Or once if i wake up on time. Or zero if i give up on engineering right now.

This was week one, quite a melagne, what say you?

  1. u ppl have chakraborty for som na?????i could guess that because i nod during her lectures too and she is glad to look at me while teaching because i nod…..and she starts cracking pjs and expects a smile from me!

  2. she cracks pjs? thats news..in our class she can’t get over the fact that no one knows anything

  3. Hmmmph….. Sounds better than the lecture I attended on imaginary mangoes…..

  4. Man, sounds like quite a mundane routine for you. But chako is a good teach, bout as good as they make em in VJTI, and she thinks like her PJ’s are like the dope, so pls pls laugh hysterically wen she cracks em (dont wrry, aftr a couple of those PJs the hysterical takes care of itself, jus make sure u laff and not cry)

  5. dude…dat aero-modellin guy wasnt a F.E ….it was me !!
    i suppose dat rathod was busy lookin at raviraj durin my intro nd forgot to listen to da initial part !!
