It was this usual day from the first sem(until then)...and as an active member of the"last bencher's association" i had occupied the last bench of the last row in the class!!!
The "Basic Electrical Engineering" lectures by this time of the sem were almost equivalent to an hour of leisure...the students(with the exception of GMAT's) would end up understanding nothing( special thanks to Mr.Thevenin,Mr.Norton and our lecturer).The students(i,e majority not the GMAT's) had just overcome this "Thev(nin)Nor(ton) jolt" when the lecturer began preaching about something called "three phase machines"...this was the last lecture before lunch(which implies we had already had three lectures before this one) and as a result..unbearable.
My eyelids had become heavier than usual..I took a look at the class(probably you get the best from where i was seated) to find out that everyone(GMAT's excluded) was in his own world..somone would be busy playing a game on his cell phone..while others indulged in group talks..the rest would be dozing!!!!!!!!
I began doodling( a bad habit i'd developed in school) to avoid dozing off..I was into the act when i was suddenly forced out of it by a "aaaaaaaa........dhaage tod laaun chandni ke noor ....".I realised someone had played the song..at full volume(though by mistake)..A few more seconds and the lecturer was there standing beside Padhy and Bibhu..Actually Bibhu was playing a game on Padhy's cell when unknowingly he pressed the wrong button and "aaaaaaaa....."happened!!!!!!!Infact the most hilarious thing in the event was Bibhu passing the cell to Padhy as the lecturer was approaching him...She was enraged...she didn't listen to what Bibhu had to say...Bibhu's ousting was inevitable but bechara Padhy was also ousted!!!
I could feel what they were going through but I couldn't stop laughing then..hilarious event!!
You should have been there.........
What I decipher now is maybe the lecturer wasn't a music lover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My business venture:Rourkela Premier League
I'd just conquered the endsems and was quite packed up with thoughts of what I'm going to do in these three months of holidays...i wanted to master the guitar(since I'd heard even Arjun Rampal had done it) ,wanted to master the 4-wheeler and wanted to undertake some sort of a project that could have boosted my resume...but in the end could not do even one of them..thanks to unavailability of guitar teachers,the car's untimely breakdown and some uninterested friends respectively!!!
The only thing that I would end up doing(apart from sleeping and spending time with friends)was watching the IPL (without much thought going in)...until one day my father would tell me,"did you ever imagine Ganguly and Shoaib playing for the same team??what a wonderful concept!!"
That's were I thought this was the best i could do this summer..organise a tournament on the lines of IPL in Rourkela(incorporating every concept like bidding,practice sessions etc).All thanks to my group(Shiva,BonJovi,Gupta and Sid) they judged every practical aspect of the tournament.The participation was overwhelming..honestly we'd never expected this sort of a response..The teams were also named in such a way that they would make the tournament bright!!Fiery footlose,The Almighty Aryans,Hellraisers,Peevish Pirates and The Wild Ones comprised the pack!!After a few days of great cricketing action..Fiery Footlose emerged as the champions of the inaugral RPL(not without some contoversies though)..Though success of the venture was not guaranteed we always believed if Lalit could even we can..wait!!This Lalit is not the panwaala from the backpost , its Lalit Modi(chairman IPL,who was even arrested on charges of possesing drugs while in college)
Well the turnover of the venture was great.Quite instantly it made us the talk of the town..we earned a lot of goodwill and praises(monetary details have been surpressed)because business is not always about money!!!!!!!
