College Gate - Testing Times continued

The next was the day of announcement of the internal marks on Quantitative methods. I was curious to know the marks. Morning three sessions passed as if it is three days. Lunch hour, I was not hungry since was in tension. Post lunch second session was on quantitative methods. I was thinking he would announce the marks before the class. But Murphy’s Law proved again. When you are waiting for the particular bus, all busses will come except the waiting one. But he started the class with the topic. Tension meter raised its count on my body. Most anticipated moment has come. He started announcing the marks by alphabetically. My name starts with letter ‘S’, supposed to be at the end. But my initial was ‘BJ’, so the name was in top half. He said BJ Suraj 10 marks. I could not believe it. My friend also got, just pass marks. When the lecturer was leaving the classroom, I conveyed my thank you.

During this course, there was test on financial accounting subject. This is one more subject, which is interesting to me. I was a keen listener in these classes. Though I used to solve problem before anyone in class, used to keep answer myself. This is not good habit. Those were initial days so it is typical of me. Test was given for 30 marks in this subject. This time I was careful not to indulge in ‘Malpractice’. Of course, experience counts. Entire class has done very badly. When going gets tough, tough gets going. So is Suraj…!!! I was the first for the class. Got 12.5 out of 30 marks, which is the highest. I was not happy with the score. I know I could have done better. This is was the first time in class people started looking at me. I don’t know why the class clapped on me being first. I did get 10/10 in quantitative methods, but no one recognized. But in this case different. I felt as if it is a rectification entry from class…..(hahaha).

The curriculum contains lots of presentation need to be given. There were presentations on sector analysis. They have divided the class into 5 teams to present various sector. Aviation sector is the one, which came to my team. There was a group inside the team who had good rapport. So they were the decision makers for team. I started working from my side. The team could not get the origin of aviation industry in India. Due to my experience in medical transcription, helped me to find it on google search. So I had important information with me. Information is wealth. We are always true Indians, last moment preparations. I was good in typing and formatting so team allowed me to prepare presentation. We finished it without going for lunch break. We rushed to the presentation hall. We were waiting for Principal and lectures to come. But due to mid-term exams approaching the presentation has been postponed. Teams got relieved and decided to prepare better for this presentation. But life is always full of twist in tale..!!!

To be continued….(but I promise this time turn around time will be soon)..!!!
