For the uninitiated (and Mr. Batra) I’m not hysterical. This is merely something the fertile mind of one ingenuous and ingenious dynamic duo of brothers invented, and was made a war chant of in the GTBIT fest by Harish Algappa and company.
Yes, these guys were actually sloganeering ‘Guha ha ha’ on the winning of the gd there. Go figure. And it was a horrible gd. I don’t know how I kept my cool.
It was quite nice. I never thanked you guys. A big gracias.
Now why am I telling you all this… I don’t exactly remember. I wanted to post something neat (about Suvorov in fact, as requested by Mr. Batra, I guess the dear old general has got to wait) ended up with this…
Am having my practicals for the last two weeks. Lots of vivas. I will not steal Dinesh’s idea and write a post about them. They are quite hilarious though. Dunno why anyone bothers with vivas anyway. Evidently neither the teacher nor the students know anything…
I’ll quote one instance though
Prof: What is fuzzy logic?
Student1: Sir, see, basically, first there were neural networks……. and then came AI……. we read in DWDM…… a conglomeration of…… I don’t exactly recall what fuzzy is though…
Anupam: *waving his hands like a windmill as he knows*
Student1: Sir, ask him!!!!
Prof: Uski shirt bekar hai….
Student2 (outside): Quick, google. What is fuzzy? Ok.. something soft and… *grins*
So fuzzy logic is logic that is soft and squishy. Hail bvcoe.
Before I end this pointless post I’ll remind everyone I’ve attained seventh heaven. So all else is insignificant.
One of the few generals in history who never lost a battle
That story of GTBIT is all over Delhi. People in UKG know about it.
You *are* hysterical. Admit it.
LOL @ BVpCOE – always good for a LOL or two.
Ok ok.. a wee bit hysterical
Viva voce. (noun) – A sham. A spurious imitation. A hoax.
And it’s spelt Alagappa. Don’t North-Indianize a misnomer.
really sorry for getting a proper noun incorrect..
Laughing at yourself now. Only a ‘wee’ bit hysterical?
The G.D. was at best a ‘fish market’. The lone warrior of Jap-engal or was it Ben-apan versus 10 Sardarnis and 9 Sardars.
You were obviously relegated to long stretches of silence interspersed with bouts of ‘wisdom’.
Alagappa came up with the best comment of the day.
During one of your longish periods of silence – he said – “Hmm .. interesting scene, the only Bengali in this fish market is not selling any fish today.”
@ Harish A.
He has been calling you ‘Algappa’ for a while now and I did not bother to correct him – he says he is ‘obstinate’.
That day made me very proud of myself though. And that is rare. I felt like a samurai.
Dinesh, it might sound strange to you but SRCC and GTBIT, although differing so much, were equally serene experiences for me, for a whole lot of reasons except the obvious ones.
‘Guha ha ha’??? man, i so regret having missed it!
As for the vivas, ever had an extremely obese and utterly unholy creature with a cheerless disposition ask you (and i quote),” aap yeh bataao, agar aap zameen ko pair se maaroge, kya paani nikal aayega”?
just for the record, this was AFTER he asked all of us to take a deep breath and calm ourselves during a viv that lasted for half a goddam hour!
