You know you are in 12th when the best part of your daily schedule is when you SLEEP... Yes, especially, preparing MHT-CET is really a tough thing to do... The people who have not seen me from many years or even months, won't be able to recognize me... With my eyes completely swollen, black, so much flab around my waist and my face sweating like a pig I become the FUgliest creature on earth, ON SUNDAYS...
Now, I no more curse Sundays... I have become used to them... With Bharat Bandh declared tomorrow, it is first day after summer vacations that I don't have any classes to attend... I have time, a lot of it... And so I can splurge a bit of it on writing something today...
Hushh!!! There are so many things I want to write about since my last post, but haven't got time at all... However I would like to share certain important incidents which took place these days...
Firstly, today was a very tiring day... With investment of only 1.5 hrs in the field of sleep, I somehow managed to keep myself awake for both Maths as well as Biology paper... And punished myself by making 3 marking mistakes... First of all, the matter which I was confident about and knew by heart, in the paper was very less... And on top of that I made marking mistakes in them... (In Marathi - Aadhich Ullhas Tyat Phalgun Maas. Sorry guys can't translate this in English)
Last 2 consecutive Maths tests I had not scored a 50, after a successful spell of about 8 consecutive 50s... That was the biggest shock for me... MATHS, the only subject which comes to me without any special efforts (even of homework), was not rewarding me... And I knew that it was completely fair to me, because Maths was unfair to others who worked hard for that perfect score and I got it without even a drop of sweat... And by losing those 2-3 marks I was also being unfair to Haresh Sir, who was being so lenient to me about homework and etc. He never asked me for H.W. neither did he bug me for any specific work... And so I got a lot of time which I SHOULD HAVE UTILIZED for Bio and Physics (creatively CET ORIENTED)... So if you are reading this Sir, I would like to apologize for this... So as to make up for it, yesterday for the FIRST time I studied for Maths exam...
After that, as I was about to START Biology exam preparation yesterday I got a call from Ghangurde Sir (my Physics Prof.)... This was, I suppose his 3rd call this week... The reason was that I had got miserable 43 in the combo test after a great 49 in previous test (out of 50)... Sir was very unhappy with me, that day during the lecture... He kept on pulling my ears and giving me beatings (which didn't hurt me at all)... Then he gave us a riddle about capacitors, the answers to which I had got that day itself... I called Sir, that day and told the answer but sir said that my answer was wrong and started laughing... He told me that if wasn't able to answer such a dumb question then it was a very shameful thing for me that, in spite of reading University Books (Halliday & Resnick/ Sears & Zemansky) I still sucked at foolish riddles... And this was just the spark I DID NOT require...
That call and the only thing I knew was, CAPACITANCE... I read each and every book I had, I searched every damn corner on net and called various people for the answer... Yet the answer which I got was same... So once again I called Sir to tell him that I was again getting the same answer and again Sir rubbished it... His taunting had worked such great miracles that I even dreamt of Capacitance... And hence my entire week was used up... I cannot say that I wasted it, because now my concept of Capacitance is crystal clear... And so on Friday I gave up... I took up Chemistry against my will because once again I had let down Ghangurde Sir... Yesterday, after I returned from Chem lecture I slept for about 1 hour so that I could be awake the entire night... [Vivek was down with fever and stomach ache so he went home, Panvel and I was feeling lonely, so I called up Ashutosh and Kalpesh for company... And if at all I get good marks in today's Bio test, it will be entirely because of them who kept me awake the entire night and helped me a lot with studies... Thanks guys...] The first thing I did after waking up was doing Maths... And there was my phone ringing with Ghangurde Sir's number flashing on it...
I said "hello..." and the first thing Sir asked me was about the answer to the riddle... I told Sir that after trying hard for about consecutive 5 days, I had given up because only answer which I was getting was 32 capacitors... And guess what, THAT WAS THE CORRECT ANSWER...!!! Sir started laughing on phone and told me that my answer was correct on the very first day, but he wanted to show me, how foolish I can act by giving up the study of all the other subjects just for the sake of that 1 riddle... Sir, in a really HARSH way had showed me how I had wasted the entire Bio-Maths week for Physics, how I couldn't set my priorities right, and what can be the reason for me not getting admission in KEM... In Sir's words, "God is very mean... He gives intelligence to some and the ability to do hard work to others... And if at all both these characters are seen in a same person, he usually happens to have some or other problem... Financial or something else... But God has given you a huge combination of all these things... The only thing he has not given you is brain, because of which all these qualities are useless... You don't understand WHAT to study and WHEN to study... As you don't have any planning and study according to mood swings you end up studying things which are not at all necessary for CET..."
Sir also asked me to follow Aditi Patankar, who according to him will top our batch this year... He told me that most of the toppers who were scoring more than me couldn't grasp Physics in lectures as fast as I could, but they didn't have to because they were smart enough to beat me easily on their hard work and planned efforts... He also told me that me and few of my friends had real potential to be a top scorer but only that our efforts were not properly channelized... So then he challenged me that if I topped next 5 tests he would throw an Ice-Cream party and if I didn't, only his hands would do the job...
And so, this was a huge confidence booster for me... For the first time, he seemed to be very fatherly and it was such a warm talk! Although it did consume about 1 hour on a Saturday night, I felt so energetic and determined, that it was worth it...
DAMN!!! NOW I AM GONNA SO SCREW ALL YOU TOPPERS...
I AM COMING BACK, YOU STUDY-FREAKS!!!
ITS A BRAND NEW SUJAY YOU ARE ALL GONNA SEE!!!
THE OLD SUJAY'S DEAD AND GONE!!!
DEAD AND GONE - T.I. Feat. Justin Timberlake
Oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too long
Just tryin' to find my way back home
But the old me's dead and gone
Dead and gone
And oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too long
Just tryin' to find my way back home
But the old me's dead and gone
Dead and gone...
I turn my head to the east, I don't see nobody by my side
I turn my head to the west, still nobody in sight
So I turn my head to the north, swallow that pill that they call pride
That old me's dead and gone but the new me will be alright
I turn my head to the east, I don't see nobody by my side
I turn my head to the west, still nobody in sight
So I turn my head to the north, swallow that pill that they call pride
That old me's dead and gone but the new me will be alright...
YO MAN!!!
