ITS (study)HOLIDAY TIME!!!!!

Well its time again for ‘the pre-exam tensions’ that’s when all the portions are completed at break neck speed whether they are understood or not(I cant remember the last time I understood something, not that I listened anyway)
Records are rushed through (too much effort for something which nobody even peeps into)creating an impression as though its going to make the difference between life and death.
And the model exams…of course I flunk in every subject, and I fail to get the idea of how I keep getting worse every year(like in the first year I didn’t fail in more than 2 subjects every test and 3 in the second year and this year I have broken all records and made it 5(hopefully it shouldn’t increase not that there is much scope for improvement).
And the carefree attitude increases proportionately with time as in when the teachers scream “nee ellam ethuku thaan collegekku variyo ennakku theriyala(I don’t know why u come 2 college)” and “nee ippadiyae irundha kandippa fail ayiduva(if u remain like this u will never pass)” starts having an effect less and less every time.The model practical exams add to the headache.
The last and the worst of all is the “no due” form which looks like a small bit of harmless paper but makes life hell for a few days. It’s the perfect document for the teachers to blackmail us into writing the retests and making us pay for all the stuff we never did....
Though there are all these stuff to worry about, the study hols are the best part of the semester coz there are no classes or teachers or assignments or labs(for me it also means no studying and reading novels incessantly)
Also do not forget the fact that it comes only once per semester unlike the tests which is 4 times (and many more if the retests are included)

Here is a list of few things which you could do to spend it wisely.

1. Sleep peacefully till noon without any thoughts of college or exams and take time to enjoy your food by relishing every morsel.
2. Visit your grandparents or uncles or aunties or who ever invited you to their place its perfect time for family bonding
3. Play Farmville endlessly, what better time than now to increase your points and move on to higher levels.
4. Read the novel which you have abandoned a long time ago because you didn’t have the time and watch the movie which you meant to see but haven’t got around to do it
5. Catch up with your school friends and other long forgotten friends also make new friends on all the social networking websites.
The final and most important of all is to visit my blog often and you can also comment on the other things that makes the study holidays even better….

WHATS IN A NAME??????????????

(This post pertains only to the intro classes at the beginning of the sem. The staff is referred to as 'she' since there are hardly few male teachers.)

The best part about the roll call is that it takes up at least 3 minutes of the interminable, insipid and monotonous class and lemme tell you about the worst part this is how it goes
‘…..Arun “present mam” ,Ashwin “present mam” , ‘Balasubramanian’ she starts looking expectantly at the guys side, and when the “present mam “ comes all the way from the girls side she looks blanked out and looks back into the register to make sure if they have called out the right name and then sees the ‘Pournima’ beside it and then gives an apologetic smile and to the few who are bothered to ask for an explanation ,Pournima has to talk about Kuwait and legal documents.., they nod halfway and proceed ‘Buveneshwari’ “present mam” and then there is a moment of silence where the staff stares at the register with an uncertain expression and then in a hesitant tone says “Dupin” and there is a ripple of laughter all around the class , and before risking another try I warily say “present mam”. At this point few staffs move on to the next name to hide their 'puppy shame' in not being able to pronounce my name right whereas the others try to find fault with my name and demand to know the etymology. So Great Me mumbles something .
So here my venting begins: Now come on guys you can do better than that its just “Daphne Madonna Esther” and not “Tynisheida Naquellahi Brishonda” (I swear this name exists)
Well Dupin is not the only version of my name there are others too like for example “Dupny, Dolphny, Dapnay…. And the list goes on even to some really weird ones that cant even be repeated . It’s really disappointing that people, who ‘claim’ to know the complicated subjects in engineering don’t even know that the ‘ph’ makes an ‘f’ sound(doesn’t mean that I’m very knowledgeable at all the phonetic stuff or anything, but the ‘ph’=’f’ is pretty basic stuff)
And to everyone who bugged me for the meaning, This Is It, ‘Daphne’ is a Greek name and it’s the name of the daughter of a river god , she was a nymph who was transformed into a laurel tree to escape the amorous Apollo.(but I don’t think my parents were aware of all this info when they named me , they jus wanted a name with a letter ‘D’ to rhyme with those of my cousins) why I don’t explain the meaning of my name is that I didn’t wanna answer the questions who is Apollo? What is a nymph? Etc . the meaning of my other names might not be so complicated but Madonna means ‘virgin’ and Esther means star (it’s also the name of my grandma and a queen in the bible so all my cousins too share this name )
Either way its fun to have that name as I am one of the ppl in the class with the longest names and also I am very proud of the fact that my name is a combo of many things such as Daphne is a protestant name, Madonna is catholic and Esther is jewish
And whats more the ultimate queen of pop Madonna also changed her name to Esther …Daphne is also the name of the beautiful girl in Scooby doo and a frequently occurring name in the books of Danielle Steel and Enid Blyton …Anyways I really loooooooovvveee my name no matter what/why/how it bothers people.
After all, whats in a name???????????

There are two important things which is required of you before you could read my blog and well that is to NEVER EVER check the grammatical and spelling errors (you can find a hell lot of them) and the next would be to get used to the stuff i put in the braces (even im clueless as to why i do it).Well this is my very first experience in writing and the reason for doing so is that im just jobless and the next reason is that im bored of begging my friends who blog to put up a new post (that doesnt imply that i will be updating often).
In this blog i plan to put jus silly, simple, good for nothing pointless stuff , hope you njoy it.
