my ramblings-nitt physics lab!

Here is an article that has been in the pipeline for ages now .but its only now that i hav been pushed to the brink,to such high levels of frustration(and of course,joblessness!d'uh!) that i finally sit down to pen down my noble views on the physics lab at nitt.this might seem to some of u readers like the lamest of topics that i can come up with,but believe me,if u have had the same kind of bizarrely comic trauma that i manage to experience nearly every practical session,you will be giving me a treat for penning down these views!
well,one of my frnds,who happens to b one of my partners in the lab,stated a law a few days ago which goes like-
"if there is a worst apparatus available in the physics lab,then harshavardhan shall end up with it!"
when this law(stupid as it might seem) was made,i had completed 5 experiments in the list of 8 , out of which i handpicked defective apparatus 3 times,a majority.i scoffed a bit when my frnd stated this law ,and so, determined to pick up a proper apparatus for a change,i arrived for the next week's practical ten minutes early,before any of my batchmates!and i looked carefully at the four choices i had ,finally settling down with what i felt was easily the best of the lot!...surprise surprise,i found out then that the law holds good whether i get to choose an apparatus or i get landed with one when i cum late!!......!yup!once again,i proved that i have the knack of ending up with the only apparatus which is faulty!!....i struggled for for a long time trying to see if i could manage with it,then realising that it was a lost cause,i asked for a change in apparatus!luckily,i got a replacement!i was elated,thank god!finally i can start the damn thing and get it done with quickly!........and yet again,the law held sway!!!.......a second faulty apparatus!!!(just how this happens to me every time i dont know!).....and as my dear frnd who formulated the law a few days before gave an empathetic smile,i couldnt help smile ....perhaps in comic resignation and acceptance of my wierd ability!!eventually,owing to the fact that it was the very last apparatus available, that i had proved to b faulty,i was made to team up with my friend!salvation at last.!
so thats our physics lab!i would call it a lucky day and send a love letter to emma watson if my apparatus works without a snag!till then,the letter stays in my room,waiting to b posted!!

a bout of nostalgia!

it takes little these days to make a person go down the streets of nostalgia....especially in the case of someone who to this day keeps his 12th standard skool id card in his purse as a lasting souvenier of some of his treasured moments and to add to this, a collection of old group photos in his hostel room.
on february twenty eight,last wednesday to b precise,weared out after a lab session in the morning and two perenially boring classes,i was obviously in lousy spirits,made more lousy by the fact that electrical class was next......and it was a goddamn double period(well...actually not but my teacher.....ever so 'sincere' and 'enthu' to teach us(or rather finish the syllabus) decided to make it so) . she entered, i groaned,she took the chalk,i moaned......god,what did i do to beget this torture?well seemingly so,but for once god answered to my ramblings,it was then that i noticed the date .....ah february 28...and almost instantly,something struck me.wow ,march 1,the next day, the board exams start!and this was all it took for me to suddenly develop a sheepish grin on my face( in our electrical period,we generally look like we r at a dear frnd's funeral!) as i got transported to exactly one year ago...my last few days as a school student. i remembered the days spent understanding various concepts,the worries of my parents(i m not xactly the studious type.......even on the eve of the exams i played 4 nearly two hours a day ),the teachers , their advice and the endless chats with dear friends....but then how long can ur mind drift on a pointless topic such as exams....so obviously my mind wandered to my days at school.....my early days at primary level as THE SHY BOY,my time at middle skool till 8th as the jovial motormouth(once again i mean humming in class) and a minor flirt(he he cant deny facts can i?),then my final years at ps skool as the sports crazy easy going low scoring friend of all(not a flirt any more!)....my truimphs, my tragedies , every nanobit of old skool memory came back to me at that instant.the comic genius that is my physics teacher,the strict yet fair math teacher ,the bio teachers who by the end of 11th had realised that i m a goner in the subject,my english teacher ,my chem teachers,the parent-teacher meetings(i still dread them) and most of all, the various friends i made, each face cropped up in my mind!my legendary compound fracture of my radius and ulna bones(dats in my rght arm.........see i m not dat bad at bio!lol!) owing to i m proud to say BASKETBALL,the noble tradition of coming late to class and settling on the last bench(its a ritual i follow with all pious sanctity even to this day!lol!),the bharatnatyam and disco combo i did in 3rd grade, my brush with acting in class(4th std,as the prof in"mind ur language" and as "akbar "),my basketball coaching,all those friendly taunts and funny nicknames which are the essence of student life,and of course every students all time favourite.......PT CLASSES.....wow what a life !!only now after coming to coll does one realise the greatness of skool,the teachers who r much greater than wat i hav seen so far at nitt,......and rite now as i am writing this,i am missing all my old frnds.....mayb i m getting really over sentimental......but in the words of my physics teacher(the great shivku) ,"i am least bothered about it rite"?!hope it cud hav lasted forever.....and how cud i not mention this!u may hav guessed.....jus 4 the nostalgic effct,i hav bin listening to summer of 69 and mustafa mustafa while writing this article!!! ........................
and a puzzled teacher looked on for a second at the rare glimpse of a beaming student in her class!
i hav always grumbled abt my time management,but for once,i am sure that i cud not hav made better use of my time!!!dont u agree???

an introduction to yours truly!

heyya!
this is my first blog ever so well i thought an introduction to yours truly was in order.just the essentials.....i m harshavardhan,currently a chemical engineer in the making at nit trichy,previously a student of p.s.senior(and hence a potential mokkai),a chess player,basketball enthusiast,an ardent follower of western and indian film music and a qualified eccentric..... i mean you just gotta ask my roommates ,they will swear to it!i am in the habit of entertaining bored benchmates with my attempts at making music wid my motormouth(extreme doses lead to earbleeding.........but thats beyond the point) ...but this in the rare instance that i m awake,and being a perennial last bencher(for many many years i m proud to point out!),i m more often than not in virtual zone engagaed in duets with asin or bashing up villains in true captain style!jughead jones is my idol and barring my hefty frame and absence of a crown on my head,many hu know me hav noticed a strong semblance between the teacher and his disciple!hurray!there is a lot more i can say abt myself, but, as a basic intro,these essential points should suffice.welcome to my blogzone!!!
