My Bio Experience...

Hey... Today the result of the Saturday tests are out... And believe me they are really great for me... I have got 28 out of 30... Thus if you don't consider those two dumb mistakes which I wrote about that day, it's just like I have got 30 on 30... Isn't it?? Now I know that by saying so I shouldn't rest but yet, Isn't it grrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttt!!!
Now the reason for me being happy is not that I have got great marks but that other "SCHOLARS" have got lesser marks than me... Aditi - 27, Advait - 23, Janhavi Dedhiya ( THE NTS TOPPER) - 21...
My room mate Vivek Patil has got 26... I really feel bad for him because he really studied equally as hard as I did... Unmesh Bedekar, my best friend got 19 !!! :(
But I think that he, cannot say deserved, but he needed some shock to wake him up and bring him out of his comfort zone... He just reads the notes and that's it... He is satisfied by it... He doesn't try to get more knowledge... So I think that now he might kick start...
Today even my Bio sir praised me a lot... In fact he scolded me but I could sense affection in him for me... DR. Abhang Prabhu... He is KEM college M.D. Gold Medalist of gynaecology, I don't even know the NUMBER of fellowships he has... And he is the most intelligent person in this world I have ever met personally... He doesn't teach you the topic, he teaches you HOW TO LEARN... He is the best person in the industry and he knows it... He told me today that my problem is that I think a lot... He said that I think and think and think and think... And this confuses me and I lose mark... After the lecture when I went to ask him doubts, I don't know what happened to him and he become very soft with me...
He told me that I am among the best students he has and he promised me that I would get admission into KEM (yipppeee)... He just asked me to have confidence on myself and be calm... He gave an example... He said "Suppose you encounter a Tiger... Then what will you do... You don't know if the tiger is hungry... You don't know if he will attack you or not... So why worry? Be calm... If you freak out, so will the tiger and then you are dead... And suppose the tiger has decided to kill you, there's no way out... So again no use of getting panicked..." I suppose what he meant was I am the person and his papers are the tigers... But today he just rocked in the lecture... Anyways...
O.K. then... Further on this topic to be continued... Keep up with me!!! Yeah....

Up With The Groove...

Moving on from yesterday's incident... That's what I have decided to do and take a lesson from it... I will try my level best to learn to be calm and patient and not get carried away with the moment... And so today I have decided on something... As a regular reader of my blog (which I don't know how many exist), I want to announce something to all of you...
I am a freaky lover of music... ANY KIND OF MUSIC... I can speak with a DUDE about Linkin Park, with Aunties about Rafi and with Oldies about Pt. Bhimsen Joshi too... I really have a vast spectrum of taste... I just love music... Every part of it... The only thing I regret in my life is to not have got any kind of basic education of Indian Classical Music... Yes... That is my One and Only dream... And sometimes I even think of giving up all the education thing and getting into music completely... But which I think doesn't have any future... And when such thought hits me... I literally SING it out... Yes... I sing and sing and keep on singing... Thankfully now in spite of having moved to Mumbai and having carried this habit, none of my neighbours have complained about it and I hope they don't... But sometimes what I feel is... How will I know whether I can really sing??
There is nobody to really take out my flaws... Yes I have a room mate and he does that... But he does ONLY THAT... I don't think I really am that bad... So an idea struck me... Why not ask you people to help me... And so now onwards whenever I like any song and I keep on singing it, I'll record it and put it here... But after you tell me to do so... I don't want to make a fool of myself on the WORLD WIDE WEB... :)
So today what I am posting is my attempt at the famous Mile Sur Mera Tumahara... Yes after 22 years it has been recreated but I still love the old one... So I TRIED to sing it... And I know that I have DEGRADED it by doing so... But I want you people to tell me what you all think about it... Please spare a few minutes and help me doing so by commenting... Please




P.S. - I know that I have overdone a little the classical part of the song, so please forgive if you don't like... I tried to get into Bhimsen Joshi's shoes!! So that's why so many hand movements... :)

Half Empty Glass...

Sorry for not writing for so many days... Just was a bit busy and didn't get time to write anything... Neither did I have net at my home... But I have recently taken Tikona Wireless Broadband Service... I had decided to write my review about it, but today I feel terribly depressed...
My twelfth classes have started and the studies have started off with a bang... I must have completed just about one month or so and till now I have given 5-6 tests... And the problem is that the start hasn't been good...
I have returned from a paper... It's 8.00 pm and I don't know if will I be able to sleep tonight... Even after having had a sleep of just 5 hours yesterday... The problem is that I am really very impatient...
The test was on biology and the lesson was respiration... I had studied a lot and was really happy with myself... I had thought that I'll be getting full today... Yes... That was my aim... This time and even the last time of Biology paper... I had studied from various sources... I didn't just stick to our sir's notes which we were instructed to do... I studied from about 3 books, read a lot of information from the net, saw a lot of beautiful videos on YouTube and got my concept cleared from the teachers...
I had read the entire lesson THRICE and was damn sure of getting full... I even had Biology practicals today and had earthworm dissection... I was so calm that I didn't haste in the dissection which I had thought I would do and cut the earthworms intestines mistakenly, but none of this happened and teacher praised me a lot...
I came home and once again read the chapter and left for the examination hall at about 5.45 pm... I didn't open the book after that and tried to calm myself down... I even prayed to God which I rarely do... I was sure that the paper was going to be all right... But what I think rarely does happen....
I got the paper and knew that I knew all the answers to all the questions... And so first of all I began ticking the answers on the question sheet itself... I tried a lot to keep my heart beat down but couldn't... I don't know why this happened... I don't know... Was it the fear or my excitation that I knew the answers but I went on circling the wrong answers...
On the question paper I had marked all the answers correct... It was CET type of exam where you are given a question paper and a separate answer sheet which contains some circles corresponding to options A B C D are to be coloured... There were thirty such questions and I had got them all right... ON THE QUESTION PAPER...
When I started filling in the circles I don't know what happened... I got severe chest pain and my mouth went dry... I drank the entire 1 litre water bottle but in vain... And I started circling the circles on wrong options... Just when I would complete colouring a circle I would understand that I had made some terrible mistake... And in such papers you can't change your answer once marked... And the consciousness of my mistakes hit me... And that kept on increasing my guilt...
I marked wrong circles for three consecutive circles in spite of having known the correct answers... And after I understood I felt that everything was lost... And after that moment I did really lose everything... I don't know what happened... But my heart beat suddenly calmed down, my chest pain reduced and I started CRYING... Weeping in the sense... And I completely lost it... Now I don't even recall the questions I answered after that moment...
Please don't think that I am so weak... I am NOT... But what made me so weak was the result of my preceding test... I had studied really well for that test but that time due to lack of INFORMATION not knowledge, I lost my three marks and that too after a sleepless night... It is not the feeling of having committed mistake, but the feeling that my efforts go in vain which hurts me the most... Coincidentally even Aai and Baba were here at that time... And I requested them a lot to give me net and promised them full in the next test...
What makes me more sad is that people have now started underestimating my capabilities just after one dumb test... I am the one asking most of the questions to the professors and participating actively in the conversations... At that time what all the profs and students think of me, is genius and such silly incidents like today prove them wrong...
My toughest competitor Aditi, who got full in the Bio test is what eats me away... Its not that I am envying her or something... I know she is really good... But what bothers me is that just after that one test the teachers of even other subjects praise her a lot and think that I am not good enough... I hate it the most when my Physics prof asks me to reduce my study of Physics and start studying Bio just because I lost 3 marks out of 30 in the test and gives me an example of Aditi... Now Physics is my most favourite subject and it is my strong fortress and I really think that I might be at least better than her at it... Which I'll have to prove in another such dumb test.. And I am really waiting for it... I don't know what will happen at that time... I feel terribly guilty when I now speak with my parents especially Baba... Because he has a lot of expectations from me and I am afraid that I might disappoint him...
I don't know what happens to me when I get the question paper... And this has started recently... Up till 10th it was never a problem... But now...!!??
Its just like an empty glass... I try a lot to fill it completely... But just when I think I have reached the brim, I understand that there is a leakage some where and until I find it... The Glass is empty again...
Please help me... Tell me something how can I improve... My mother says that it is a problem of concentration power because I don't believe in God... What I think is, if I have studied everything about Glycolysis what the hell will God do when I get a question about it... If God really exists he shouldn't really be so cruel with me...
Please help... I have nobody to speak about this issue... So I am writing it here...
