Confessions of a real tired mind......


Hi all...finally a blog after a very very very long interval of time....the reasons are obvious, 3rd semester classes are going on in full swing. But anni is sick of the amplitude and frequency of the swing. This blog is about his 2nd year expereince so far....

NOTE: The characters appearing in this blog are veryveryvery unique(their uniqueness deserves the adjective), real and existent.... names are modified to protect their uniqueness....happy reading...

Anni was on his laptop, not playing FIFA but studying electromagnetics for his upcoming quiz.

ME: Hi man....watsup? its been really long time talking to you...
Anni: Oh...hi macchaaa...we have a quiz next week....so was just going through some quiz related stuff...

ME: Hows your college going on? How are the subjects?Interesting huh!!I have a lot to talk to you today....keep your quiz preparation aside for some time...
Anni: Macchaa...im fed up of this college man...they are squeezing the life out of me under the pretence of autonomy....

Anni: We have these tests and quizzes once in every two weeks...they dont even give choices man....like uve to read everything..im really bored of this monotonous life....

ME: But the subjects are interresting alwa??

Anni: Yeah the subjects might have been interesting if handled properly. There is this course called network analysis which is really taught by Prof.NA...and our math course is only linear algebra.
And...we have digital design, analog circuits, electromagnetics and instrumentation.....
ME: WOW math sounds cool...

Anni: Yeah sounds cool...but the lecturers themselves arent sure of the concepts dude....half the class time gets wasted in some trash discussion on questions like, "is R2 a subspace of R3?"...they have kept MIT's linear algebra syllabus...all they do in class is try to mimic gilbert strang's lectures....

ME: What about analog circuits?what do u have in that?semiconductor physics?
Anni: hahahahhaha....no semiconductor physics and all dude...we just have some transistor applications, their frequency response and other such application layer aspects. And unfortunately the course is handled by a really boring lecturer Lec.AEC...analog circuits class is 'analogous' to history class. THE most boring hour in our time table. Each minute seems like an hour in that class....relativity at its best.... :D

ME: Okay...what about electromagnetics, instrumentation and digital design???i have heard that electromagnetics is really interesting and mind boggling....

Anni: Shut up man....i dont know where you hear all these weird stuff...electromagnetics is handled like a calculus tutorial class for us...you know, just giving some problems involving all those integral theorems, divergence etcetc . In electromagnetics class, ican bet 90pc of the class wont know what they are talking (unless its other than the subject). Coming to digital...this subject is more of method based. There are innumerable terms to remember. There are set methods by which you have to solve a given problem. Again, as the complexity of the problem increaes you will be lost in those tiny details of the procedures used for solving rather than the totality of the problem and what it is depicting.

By the end of this anni was impressed by himself. Whenever he talks like this he imagines himself to be some professor and magnifies the gravity of the topic vary much.

Anni: I really dont want to talk about instrumentation. I would blame the guy who included instrumentation in the syllabus. It includes most of digital and analog stuff that we are yet to learn and that makes subject obviously looks lousy right now.

By now, i had to be impressed by his supposed to be problems. So i couldnt help acknowledging him.

ME: That was quite a description about the courses you have. So, finally its only circuit theory that has seemed to be interesting???
Anni: Yeah you can say that....

ME: So...how are bus facilities for your college now??have they improved now or what???
Anni: Duuuuuuudddddeeeee.....iget tired just by thinking of bus travel to the college....its amazingly horrible....

ME: Oh...it would be comfortable if you leave the house a bit early... :)
Anni: First you get up before 8 mate...hahahahha

Anni: The bus facility has worsened in the morning. They have removed
couple of usual buses and introduced volvo buses which icant afford on a daily basis. Mindless goofs.

ME: Firstly get up early, secondly stop complaining and do your work, dont be stupid.

I was just pulling his leg. He got irritated.
Anni: Its you who started all this Mr. I was doing my work. Now would you please get out and dont disturb me.
ME: hahahha...cool down...carry on with that calculus tutorial equivalent stuff that you were doing....ALL THE BEST

So, this was my little interview session with anni. More of anni and his tales in next blog......
