IIT n me

I need not tell u the title of this blog is a misnomer . For record I havent 
seen a IIT campus not even its canteen.. this thing happened during my 
12th std.. My school is a result hungry school n would do anything for 
getting a newspaper ad show off results. For me 12th subjects were 
started by 11th itself ..The pattern in 11th was, first 5days 
of week 11th subjects and saturday n sunday v had 12th subjects. 
Yes u read it right sunday was a working day in my school for highschool 
students.

                                      

So since subjects were in such rapid pace my 12th subjects were 
over by august and the revision mode started.My school started 
playing all tricks to get highresults.One such was to segregate 15 
 n give special test series . I still dont know how i made it into the 
top 15 may be my chemistry marks was always high or i got high 
marks in tamil [reason for tamil high marks is not my language skill 
but the tamil mam happened to be my friend ,vil write it in a special post ;) ]
 I was the odd man out of 15,i was never a brilliant student or a regular 
reading student .. i went n asked to the Principal to please let me of this 
group n i want to be with among others ..she refused n 
warned me for asking so.. 

With no other option left i had to leave regular classroom n go 
to a another class were v had special classes n special test series. 
No wonder i was always the last scorer among the 15 n felt v.self 
embarrassed ..but more than that this segregation has taken 
me out of the class were my school days crush  was there.. started 
missing her badly n thought this is the end of it n i can never see her 
in the same first bench window seat again ..but like in fairytale, v think 
one but God ll have another end for the story i thought, but god didnt 
want to play or surprise me this time so as i expected that
 was the end of me watching her endlessly in class.. 


                                                        
Now back to the classroom, among various  classes one was a class
 for  IIT exam !!! taken by a outside professor ..grr i still remember 
his name but dont wanna mention it here..It was a complete bullshit 
class.. as u all know tamilnadu has state syllabus for 11 n 12 th 
which was no way closer to CBSE level n with few months left 
for board exam he comes daily to solve IIT questions .. even now i 
cant understand this stupid concept n 1 1/2 months torture by him .. i 
never volunteered for appearing in IIT exams but was forced 
to attend. This grumpy man comes to class exactly the first class after 
lunch writes IIT questions in board n asks us to solve..with just 15 in a 
class i couldnt succeed my usual trick in maths class by not lifting head 
the entire class to avoid eye contact or just pretend to scribble something  
in note as if working out pblms..

                                           

                                            

Sooner He found out im not able to match 
the level n started to focus on me more n torture became more ...
                                                 

Back then i was a notorious boy with impulsive attitude.This went 
for a while n i couldnt stand so i planned to skip maths n in the next 
two exams i scored a just pass level of marks which as expected pulled 
a review meeting with principal .. when i was asked for the 
reason i pointed him saying he makes me learn lots of new formulas 
n that doesnt workout with state syllabus plus im not able to understand 
his way of communication .. unexpectedly everyone in the group came out 
open after i spilled the bean n there were row of complaints 
against him .. School which is concerned with 12 results than anything 
fired him immediately n my sorrow came to an end .. Now after all these 
yrs while driving i found a board with his name saying IIT tution  taken 
here ..i remembered the days with him.. 

Useless trivia : Unluckily the professor's daughter was my colg junior and 
unfortunately she was the only girl i ragged in my colg days ..

Moral :  Dear professor's Dont mess with me if u ve a daughter ;-)
