12th class results story

every one is going berserk over 12th class results, let me tell a story

my brother had appeared fr 12th boards in 2004. On the day of his result he had gone out to play a golf tournament. On the morning of the tournament, he was sitting while the other fellow- ravi aggarwal was driving. So ravi aggarwal said in a very sad tone" beta your mom called and told your results are out .. wait let me tell you about the exams first.

PAST- My brother was very bad at studies. In fact it was looking pretty bad in pre-boards, like he getting 10-11 marks in every exam. One teacher even told my mom like let him give exams next year (so pointless,since he wastes a year, but i guess she wanted better school result) .

PREPARATION- So for preparation first , one teacher who was not getting permanent my dad had put in a word of him to get so. To return the favor he would come with some 3-4 teachers who would teach taking turns, while others slept, ate, watched TV etc in my room.

But my brother didnt have must trust in these people. Only one thing he trusted. He had a sure shot method. -Prayers. He built sorta of a mini temple/gurudawra in his room and prayed everyday.

EXAM- Biggest problem was maths. On the day of his maths exam, my brother walked in his class room . When he took his seat , his best friend was sitting next - pure coincidence. Now my brother was really good at cheating , also this guy knew my brothers condition. After the exam he told me that he had show at least 30 marks to my brother.

yea so, back to beginning. Exam results came. Ravi aggarwa said " beta your mom called and told your results are out.Pass, toh tum hogaye ho, magar number ache nahin aaye hai "



result as i remember- maths-35, business studies 35 ,economics-43,english61 type something

PS. I told this story to rohan, before iit exam. i asked him what if we get seat next to each other in iit. He said we will also cheat. I told if we cheat and not clear then surely, i didn’t deserve iit.
I also walked inside my class and found rohan sitting next to me. first exam went by and i couldn’t cheat at all since rohan was covering his sheat, so i cant cheat. Then while lunch break, i explained its goa and no body is even looking. We went again and this time also i could cheat, some times, i look back that was the day, when i was suppose to get into iit.

PS2. after result some people after failing themselves had proclaimed that " hum agar fail hogaye toh angad bhi fail ho gaya hoga".

In search of that perfect cross

There are couple of good stories in Mahabharata about how to get on target 1. Arjuna not seeing anything other than bulls eye and 2.hitting the target which is eye of fish by looking at its reflection in water. So its amazing some thing like that got incorporated, real stories or authors created fiction?

What i really wonder is, ability of human mind to launch projectiles and hit them on target. Two games i had experience of these test are golf and football. In both games first u have to play the ball in your mind( but one must know from experience how they will actually behave) and then do it same on the ground.Anything else is just a fluke. Now the degree of imagination is what i question here, i just look at the target spot which has to be like a foot or a head,( but i can imagine what shot that guy will play from there on wards , this is stretching of point since here only discussing the initial trajectory)
In golf one has more time to imagine and decide on the exact trajectory more i guess than football, but the idea remains the same.

In both games one also needs a consistent technique , otherwise one cant deal with the real behavior.

certain test - get a target and illuminate while leaving the path in between completely dark. see if a person can hit the target , also see if the person can improve

Its amazing that other than humans , no other animals use projectiles. humans can kick, throw etc and land stuff on target. whats really important to me is how we do it . This can show us about the brain, its ability of doing certain things without knowing, how to do it. This shows us about the learning capacity of our brain.

P.S - even though the blog post is not good, there is a story behind it. Let me reveal it. there is stray dog which is friend of my dog buddy. Now this dog has got lot of ticks on its body so i don’t want it to come near my dog since he already had tick fever once. This dog is always trying to come and play with buddy , so earlier i use to take stones and but only throw them very close to dog but always making sure i never hit him. Now this dog learnt this and started to feel less scared. So i decided to actually hit the dog, but i have been unsuccessful till now ( some 1500 stones thrown).

i have couple of theories one being the first 500 stones trained the dog to dodge and second i have a bad aim(which i dont believe since i have perfected it by throwing stones at other dogs). but my mom said i have a bad aim . So i set out to test it. I tried to hit a pole which was illuminated by its own light but rest of the path was dark(or the light blinded me , as i always lost path of stone ). Only after i hit the wall on the other side of pole would i see the stone again, i found this very hard and so came up with the test.

P.S 2 even now that fucking dog is barking outside.

monsoon doubts

yesterday it rained a lot and light went out , and while every time lighting striked i could see the tree from my window making scary faces. But, i was thinking what if earth didn't tilt on its axis and we didn't have summer and winter, will we still have monsoon?

as in if north of earth was always in summer, will we have monsoon - a perennial monsoon, a monsoon that comes but is weakened or no monsoon. i just want to know because monsoon are easy to imagine and if i get answer to this , i will get more data to fit into the video simulation of monsoon in my head

and while we are on it will someone please tell me how does those thread marks on tyres work. As in that grip cant get inside the road.

two wrong cant make a right but three wrongs can

Every one has a opinion about Ramdev dramatics going on. here goes mine

Three parties involve are there

1. Ramdev - I don't know what his agenda is. But one clear benefit i see is, corruption is center stage once again in media. So at least it will be a boiling issue for elections and hopefully will remain a issue for long time. More over more fast like this can happen all over India and every where corruption will be a major issue and not cast,religion etc

2. media - Again even though media tries to hide behind the flag of crusade against corruption , most channels just want to sell. But its amazing how much its selling , and keeps these issues from dying out . Its amazing 10-15 years ago when only half an hour of news use to come so few people would watch it, or how many people actually read serious news. But all are in for this masala news.

3. common man at these show - I would often wonder at the "none" chance the common man had against the current corrupt system. Here no common man can win election. Hell, no one even listens to them. their votes are most divided . What i also felt sorry was some one with a job etc wont have a chance to take a stand and risk his entire life getting wasted in fighting the system.

Now two things are happening one lots of people (which is not the people i spoke about-people with jobs ) are coming to events like these. Again this keeps politicians on toes.

Secondly pseudo support from twitter, Face-book is coming . Both these i feel are not the politically aware people. But they are getting the job done

Together these three are atleast finger fucking the govt. which is a treat in itself.
