– Most Marks
– Difficulty Levels
– Current Understanding
I would first finish the ones with high level of current understanding, less difficulty level and more marks, gradually moving towards the ones which were least in value, highest in difficulty and I had no clue about…
At the end of my preparation, I would have left some 10-20 percent of my syllabus and I would have no clue about it either 🙂 Peers would talk about a few topics and I would always give them a blank look: P
Once I get the test paper, I would quickly browse through the things once again in the manner I mentioned above and just ignore a few questions…
Relaxed preparations/ relaxed examinations… a decent 80+ percentage consistently… life was good!!!
And then came the final year of college… My only option for survival in this big bad world was to get through MCA or a similar different masters 🙂 I had not attended even 20% of my classes in graduation, thanks to my attention to Theater and Drama and Stage during that time… but this was scary now… If I would not crack a competitive exam, my father would throw me out of the house…
Started coaching for MCA near my college, and by and large I used to sleep in the class… What else do you expect from someone who studies, err, is there in the college the entire day!!!
Anyway… so studies were a must now… and the course was too large… and I was not a night person… So what to do… and hen a miracle happened…
My cable guy started showing a channel called TB6 during those days, and I one day accidentally realised that there is a soft porn program “some diaries something” at 0330 hrs every night…
So here was the deal now… I would study from 2200 hrs to 0330 hrs every night, and then carefully switch on the television, and watch the 30 minute program on mute… We used to live in a 2 room flat then, and switching on the old TV, reducing the volume (we had a non remote TV ) were all works of ART!!! There were nights when I used to study like crazy till 0330 hrs, switch on the TV and see some irritating non- understandable Russian drama too, only to hope for my awaited program to start, and finally go off to sleep around 0400 hrs…
Whatever said and done, that half an hour of uncertain television ensured that I get top ranks in 9 out of 11 examinations I gave!!! It was amazing…. missed the first two, but after that every result brought only a smile to my face and a potential future to my life!!!
Thank you TB6 🙂
It was a li’il strange sitting in the train coach all alone… no one in the entire coach that I was sitting in… but was kinda happy to see a lot of people get down at Horley, the town where I am staying these days…
A good 10 minute walk under the stars to home, and a warm room… nice…
Switched on the television, got the juice from the fridge.. and saw something on TV that almost shocked me…
A Girl’s guide to 21st Century Sex..
Yes that was the name of the program on Channel 4, one of the 4 channels that i get on the TV in my room… and this program was about the to dos and the don’ts… i guess i joined the program in the last 20 minutes of the last episode of the season 1… hence a quick recap of what was there in the entire series was being shown, which included
~Discusions with sex experts about how to get the most out of your encounters
~People having sex on camera, with cameras stuck all over their bodies… and inside too ( if you know what I mean), so basically leaving nothing to imagination…
~Alternative Sex.. Gays, Lesbians, Groupies, Tantric Sex and all that…and
~Some utterly grose Surgeries…
And nothing about this program was even remotely erotic… While I had to appreciate the intention behind it, I still found myself asking if TV shows need to be this explicit about SEX… I am not sure…
and why is this program titled a Girl’s Guide to…
