A Few Things That I Remember - Chapter 2

Copying is an art. You should have special skills to do that.It can be very dangerous and its not for kids. In college and all, apart from studying, to make your run rate high, you should be flexible in copying. We learned it gradually and Mastered in it. My(not mine) first copying experience in college was funny.

"Da.. show it to me ... come on shimith.. at least one yaar.. be a man..!!" This is S1S2 Electrical Technology Series exam. Adarsh is so nervous to get answers like everyone in the hall.. He saw me taking 1 or 2 extra papers and thought I was writing something related to the subject..poor dude.. He started pulling my shirt even after telling him that my answers were wrong. You can't blame him. When the time is so bad, you will be desperate to fight against it. Also you would love to write something on your answer sheet. We had a worst experience of Computer Science paper asking to draw a cat in Q-Basic program and all. Not knowing that the question paper was interchanged and not related to B tech IT, our Adarsh wrote Q-Basic in the answer sheet and made a drawing of a cat. He was the one who wrote something on that exam.

Anyway, as a friend I felt bad and I handed over my answer sheet by telling that the laws and calculations used for the questions are Wrong. Who cares..He was like a kid who got Ice cream out of nowhere and completed the exam Bindaazz. When the results were announced we were caught for copying, as same answers were wrong in mine and his papers..ditto...!!

We do copy during exams all the time. If it was Class test , series test, lab test or Semester exam.. All were same for us. On last semester exam the one sat next to me was one of the class topper. I was saying Thanks to God for first 10 mins. She was a bit confused about Ist question and I corrected her. We had 10 questions to be answered and I got 9 from her. I deserved it right, as I resolved her starting trouble ?

I used get very much tensed just before the day of exam and then call Varun, Unni, Adarsh, Prabin and Jijin 10 times a day. Whenever I asked them about some chapter, "da did you study that.. any idea" everyone would say a long NO and I would go to bed aaraamse.!! We were very open about studies. If we say we didn't study thats the end. We can't write a right answer to that question eventhough we write a lot. . We thought Varun was also like us. This guy will say didn't study that chapter, this chapter, blah blah and will get nice marks. One day just before the exam Varun asked a series of tough doubts to Adarsh and he only answered em. Then only we realized that this bugger knew all answers. When we checked his Text Books, we saw he had underlined all the chapters. After that we never trusted him in exams.

There were exams like computer science lab and all where we used to bi heart all programs and vomit in the system. Man.. Nobody knew how to use a system at that time.. We thought Varun had a little idea and we often asked doubts to him. We all were very bad in programming. Once Unni wanted to open C program window and as he doesn't know he asked Varun. He told him to goto RUN command prompt and type " Open C program please". This poor Unni did the same. Moreover he was complaining that C program was not launching. I still remember remember Vigil kumar claiming that he got partial output in C Lab exam for finding Prime numbers. His program will print "Enter your Number" display message and won't do anything after that. You can't deny that its a partial output..
