gone to hell

why r classes so boring tht i dont attend n thn get into trouble of all sorts...i know its my mistake n i should have attended classes but tht cant be helped now, can it?...the profs have to go ahead n be all pricky abt it even though i can give an exam as well as the next guy without doing any classes at all...basically they dont recognize the idiosyncracies of genius when they see them...but cant blame them either, genius has always been doomed to ignominy and failure among its contemporaries...the recognition comes when it is too late to recognize it...so let it be with caesar...the day will come when these very professors of mine will be forced to accept my superiority over any other students of theirs...maybe not in the field i have chosen(ill-chosen would be more like it) but i am sure i'll be successful...thnx for going through these megalomanic rantings of this spent force...and remember, like the phoenix, i'll rise one day from the ashes of academic failure!!!

not the end...

another stupid examination meanders to a stupid end...i won't rave and rant again about how much i hate the system of examinations as i did enough of that when the last exams ended...but thank god they have ended...i am now 5/8 of an engineer(though i know less than i did fresh out of school)...i wonder whether i'll even be able to teach a class 12 student...but i shouldn't be too happy about this end of exams because they always have a tendency of coming right back at u when u least expect them...life's always throwing u a surprise test...and i hope i can pass with flying colors...so this termination of endsems is, like death, not the end...but only a transition...

movie mania 6

yes i'm back...been getting too less time to watch movies...so i watched a few in fast forward mode...but those were the ones which were very fast-forwardable, i.e. they weren't worth watching in the first place...
dhoom - where in india is there a biker gang?????come on guys why do u have to copy a concept from the west if it is totally alien to us??? fine, guys love to watch fast bikes and sexy chicks but they can watch torque or some similar shit for that...nobody can expect people with bikes like that to go around unnoticed in india...one good thing about the movie is the villain who could have been hero...the character played by john abraham is something new to indian cinema...
hum kaun hain? - another "inspired" movie...this is the desi version of 'the others' which was a fantastic movie...but hkh fails in spite of big b and dimple kapadia...the simple reason being that the audience has either watched the others or can't connect to the story which is a direct import from the west...and also how much conviction does the director have when he is copying something scene by scene?
dil ne jise apna kaha - pathetic!!! hackneyed, dismal, unoriginal, uninspiring performances, plain downright stupid!!!
fida - novel storyline, decent performances, grey characters, different ending(from what is expected from bollywood)...yet the movie isn't all that good...the story meanders somewhere in the middle and the start of the climax is too hackneyed...maybe wud have been better if it were shorter instead of conforming to the bollywood standard of 2 1/2 hrs+...
king arthur - nicely made supposed true story behind the legend of king arthur and the knights of the round table...perhaps the timing is not good with so many historicals getting made these days...we have been saturated with history by now...
thats all the new movies i've watched...the other movies i saw are older ones which i've seen before umpteen times like andaaz apna apna(hilarious),chhoti si baat & sholay(the evergreen) or those that i saw for the first time like bandini(bimal roy was god!) and american beauty(great!)...more on movies later

we don't need no education...

once again after a boring week i'm coming back to life...usually life here is pretty exciting but every now and then the profs feel tht they need to check whether we have learnt anything or not...this results in excruciatingly boring periods of time called exams...just got thru one of those periods...i dont know why we need exams? aren't the profs confident about their ability to impart education tht they have to test whether they have been successful or not?...and that too when they end up with egg on their faces most of the time...i can tell u tht if a student doesn't do well in exams after making it thru jee it isn't because he/she isn't a good student...it means tht the profs have failed in making the subject interesting enough for the student...it is they who have failed if a student doesn't want to attend classes or doesn't fare well in the exam...but they have a totally radical notion tht it's all our fault...well forget about it...9 down 7 left to go(exams tht is)...but i'll say one thing...if forcing someone to attend boring classes instead of making them interesting, taking exams and giving papers which even da vinci couldn't have completed in the time alloted and passing snide comments at students who refuse to conform is education then surely...we don't need no education!!!
