FAIRER SIDE OF FAIRER SEX

While walking through the road along the girl’s hostel I never miss to take a glance at the female fortress. The desire to know the unknown is strong. But in our quest for the darker side we often miss the fairer side of the fairer sex. Why care for the other side of the moon when the side facing us is still an enigma.

The most common thing on the campus is romance. Some day you meet her by chance. Few days after, she glances at you. Next she smiles at you. This is enough to convince you about her feelings and makes you eager to dash into the realms of friendship and hopefully love. By the time you are made to realize that those looks were ordinary and her smile was because of the fact that it cost her nothing, it’s too late. You sink in grief while she gains in attitude.

Next are some girls whose taste changes with season. During hill ‘ffair, the bhangra guy dances his way into her heart, kicking out the guy who had won her by that magnificent goal in the recently concluded football championship. But this dancing dude is unaware that as the exams will approach, the topper of the class will succeed in making her heart his library and her text messages, his study material.

But then we also have girls who are true friends. They love to laugh along with you; they trust your words and your actions. Your small efforts to bring smile on their faces are enough to make them feel important. They don’t expect costly gifts to remain friends. No matter how cacophonous you sing the purity of friendship adds melody to it. Their eyes gleam at your sight and this friendship gets stronger as semesters pass by.

THE TEACHING BEAUTY

friends most of you would have guessed whom this write up refers to ...others can keep guessing ...:-)

Imagine is his catch word. While teaching he takes us to places as far off as kanyakumari and sometimes also like to roam in space. His teaching is not bound to his assigned subject, but traverses wide areas of engineering and science. At times we are in doubt if we are sitting in the right class.

When in class his exceptional body movements make things easier. He has his own unique style of teaching through dancing moves. He is fond of bhangra and this dominates his teaching style. He is kind to the board and chalk. He makes use of the power point presentation or if ever feels the need to write, prefers sms script.

He has got an innovative way of assigning home works. The assignments, usually group activities don’t have dead lines. These have shift lines, which keep on shifting from one date to another. Sometimes these encompass two semesters.
His generosity in awarding marks was well known until recently he decided to change his marking scheme causing much pain and grief to the students.

Students who have bagfuls of luck with them get to work on a project under him. This involves a trip to a near by sub (hill) station, free tea and coffee sessions during work and complete freedom to bunk work. The beauty lies in his augmentative traits which keep on pushing students to think for that extra mile which if they cover can make them famous however no one wants to walk those extra ‘Zarry’ miles.
