I am free
April 21st, 2008 Roshan Posted in College |
Of the exacting norms of society, of repressive regimes, of slave labour and poverty. Well no, not really. I’m just done with my exams, but I feel liberated. Peaceful, almost. Still, I have much to occupy my time with, and places to go and things to see. Thank you everyone for your support. I couldn’t have done it without my mother, who first made me realise that I too could go to college, my father, who first made me realise that if I didn’t I’d be out on my ear, and my brother who made going to college worthwhile because he was at home.
It was nice in college. I had good company, that’s what counts for most of it. I don’t think I’ll miss the place, but it was fun while it lasted. It could be funner if they got rid of attendance regulations, those don’t make sense and insult the abilities of the teachers - who are all extremely talented people. Ah, bye bye. I’ll still be around, call me sometime you need to solve a differential equation.

Rub it in… :-(

Well. If you’re bored and have too much money, come to Germania. Freedom is nicer here. It comes in beer cans and loud heavy metal music :D

I have a month to go. We, at college, are hoping to burn away ID cards freeing ourselves from the system. We are also planning mass celebrations on the roads leading away from the college, distributing pamphlets extolling the virtues of the college.

Chitra: Oh keep quiet, you’re enjoying yourself. Just because it’s quiz week…
Isha: Sigh, if only I had too much money. If only. It’s like I’ve won the lottery for a lakh and you decide that’s a nice time to parade the BMW you just bought.
Arun: Wait, “extolling the virtues…” . Does not compute.

That’s my attempt at sarcastic humour.

Differential equations, you say. What on earth is Charpit’s method?
April 22nd, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Arun, my mistake. I was sleepy when I read it.
Arundhathi, sadly I have no clue there so I can’t help. I have never heard of Charpit, or his method.

I don’t care about anyone’s armpit method. So what’s the plan George?
(Apparently we are required to turn in our ID cards at the end of the course. For what purpose, no one knows.)

Conquer the world, Marc, one city at a time. Currently I’m on Calcutta. Actually, no, there’s this one exam I’m going to write and if I get through I study, if I don’t, there’s stuff I can occupy myself with till next year.
We’re supposed to turn in our cards too. It’s so that you can’t enter the premises and use the stuff there when you’re no longer a student. Funny.

Interesting, it implies that MCC (and other colleges) bear facilities which are worth “breaking in” for. Funny business.
Oh an Roshieposhie, I don’t like BMW’s too much. They’re too pseudo classy. A Limo is probably the only option for me.

Ha ha, totally. I once considered stealing stuff from college to make up for the stuff it stole from me, and I couldn’t find anything worth stealing.
Crap, I’ve only got pseudo-class. That’s depressing.

Finish your silly exams fast and come to Calcutta!
Ha ha… you could maybe steal some lime juice tokens! :)

I will, I will. I have a couple of tokens still :)
