Moments of Term-1 :-)




       Phew..Just gave my end term exam and now a 10 day break.. Lot of interesting incidents, a great batch and awesome campus..Quite lot of incidents..Below are a few quotable quotes which I came across in this term.. 
 
  1. "Sir, When are you conducting the next surprise quiz ? " :-) 
  
  2. Company XYZ1, in the PPT .. "Sometimes work is 24x7..But it is satisfying" - WTF ??? 

  3. A group giving a presentation - "Our presentation has 3 parts - Introduction, body & conclusion :-) "

  4. Company XYZ2, in the PPT .. "Sometimes its a dog's life..But it is rewarding " :-)

  5. "Guys..you have indulged in maal-practice :-) " 

  6. Prof( Asking a group which was doing a case analysis on Mountain Dew, with reference to the famous Cheetah Ad) : " How does the Ad signify the taste of Mountain Dew ? "
       Presentor: " That, you'll have to ask to the Cheetah" :-)

   ----------------------
  Mathewisms - Taken from prof. A.F Mathew's classes.. Seldom have I come across such an impactful personality. He taught us a course - Social transformation of India .. I'm not sure if I agree to all his arguments..But certainly he taught us many impactful stuff like the concept of caste and how entangled it in in polity & economy of India, how society evolved like this, Indian constitution and its formation..and many more stuff.. Around 10 movie screenings in the audi..some of them , quite impactful.. 
   Above all that, he has given us two booklets with lot of articles..Of course, none of us read those before exams completely..But this would be an integral part in my personal library..Sometime when I'm free,I plan to read many of these again .. 

  Some of the quotable quotes from his class....
  
  Prof : "If a girl sleeps with 10 guys, she'll be called a slut..But if a guy sleeps with 10 girls, what will you call him?" 
 Class :  "Stud" :-) 

  Prof : " You havnt read Premchand ? My God...How can u call yourself an Indian ? Half your life is lost " 

  Prof: "The biggest problem that India is facing is........ Awasthi is sleeping :-)" ( Pointing to a guy dozing off in class ..This happened in another section..not my class..but this was a masterpiece )

  Prof: "You...you single celled protozoa.." ( pointing to a guy ) 
  
  Prof: "He is in a trance "( Pointing to me ,when I was dozing off :-) ) 

  Prof ( While explaining sexuality ) : "Read  -some purana story name - .. It is much better than surfing porn in internet " 
 
  Prof:  "look at Ajith...he's comes dressed up...probably put lacto calamine lotion..and ponds face powder "

ROTFL..
I'm sure the 6th one, going gaga about "maal-practice" is a malayalee.

I remember some waiter correcting my friend when he asked for extra "salaad". Waiter replied, "It's not salaad.. it is saal-ad."
The rest of us didn't know whether to laugh at our friend or the waiter.
