As Funky as the B slot Prof........!!

B slot of late has been the kind of scenario in the Gr8 Indian Laughter Challenge. If ever there would have been a contest to search for the most idiotic, most funkiest,most foolish person in the world among the academic paraphernalia then it would be my "B slot Prof".Lets for the time being stick to his name as "B". There were jokes which brought in no laughter from the students but only dumb faces deliberately thinking why in the world we are sitting in his class. There has been a previous post on the same B( "p+Ij") where i have told how lustful the oldest man in the insti can get.Now this post shows the other facet he shares to the world.His sense of humor,believe me is none to compare.With his own style,own stupid jokes, he stands out among the others. The previous day in the class when he was lecturing us about the harmful affects of fluoride and chloride on our teeth, he points out to a guy in the first bench( our very own poor class rep) and says if this fellow eats a pig a day his teeth would be spoiled.Then next moment he points out to one more silent student and says she doesn't brush her teeth and she eats a buffalo a day.Oh crap....i know i am writing crap, but thats what exactly our prof is and teaches....just crap...with no relation whatsoever to the sentences he speaks.....You can experience hell, irritation and the frustration of sitting in a boring class only in courses offered by B.
Well that was one hell of a class.Coming to the quiz of B's course, it was one more daymare[:)]. Some of the questions i saw for the first time, i mean the stuff he has asked was never taught in the first place and then he asks them in the exam.Anyway how i wrote and fared is another story not to be told.Overall it all seems to be fun when we have B's class.With his unwittiest replies and jokes we are transported to the heights of irritation and frustration.This post i think is one such attempt to relieve my frustration on the course as well as on B.
I think i have written enough to provide food for thought for my civil friends out there to think how f#$@ing ass$%#! this guy is..........Mr B......"To B,or not to B" was one of my irritated friends gtalk status message just before the day of this exam...
Signing off....

Voice of the Hero !!!....

Inter Hostel water polo matches....I being a Taptian, am required to keep up the legacy of Tapti's water polo team.But this year with a dearth of players, we couldnt make much history.But people who played for the first time in my team have shown promises of being a good players. We lost all the 3 matches we played.We lost 16-2 with Ganga, 5-3 with Godav and 7-1 with Alak. I have realized that winning isn't all that matters.Giving your best is what matters and the satisfaction thereafter that you have gone down with a fight which all the more matters.Reduced to a one man army battling fierce opponents, with a toll of a muscle pull on my right hand, i have realized i have given all that i have, and the people who have played against me too know that.
Shooting from midfield, breaking 3-4 defenders, playing fouls and a lot more was the order in the match.There was no other option for me but to persist even when i know i would go down.But everything was worth it.Eventually i ended up scoring all the goals my team has ever scored.This is just not bragging.People who have played against me and who are reading this post know for sure, i was the one to look out for in the matches.As dangerous as a shark. ;) Nevertheless all has ended and everything was fair in the end.Busty and my fellow team mates have given their best.
I have learnt to persist, to fight, to conquer and to understand. If not as good as to be compared to a Spartan to fight against a whole Persian army, my situation was somewhat on those lines.With a team comprising of novices and amateurs, we played against the best hostel teams and we played for our satisfaction and fun.There will be a long gap between the next Tapti gold medal in water polo, but eventually it will happen. After all the Madras Sharks were born in Tapti.The legacy will be continued, passing from my hands to my juniors, hoping they will have interest in keeping Tapti Water polo team alive with new horizons of hope. The other waterpolo teams out there, watch out for us, and dont write us off, if not in a year, in the year to come, we will be back with a bang to clinch what was once ours....

Obsessions and fixations are not really my field. All I know, when the mind really grabs hold of something, look out.

Life only demands from you the strength you possess. Only one feat is possible - not to have run away.And i have not runaway, but choose to fight and go down, with a feeling that i have given a tough time to my opponents before finishing the game......
