vivas.......and more

i know ppl will get bored at the very name of vivas but now that the last viva of my four year engineering is over, i do feel that this term deserves some thought.

i gave my first viva during the submissions of 'C and unix'... it was not that gr8 but it did tell me that they could ask anything related to the subject..

so i decided that from now on, i would try to do everything when appearing for a viva... then came the 2nd sem C++... bhavthankar was easy to tackle but when u have vivek agarwal besides him... u know what kind of viva it can be...

this routine continued till 3rd sem but then came the 4th sems...they were the real 1s... i was supposed to go with harsh ( a gr8 intellectual!! ). he was very afraid of me for i had once dominated him in a mock PCOM viva (sorry for that..harsh)

those were early days... fearing the external...thinking how he might be... what kind of questions would he ask... wat if he screwed us lot... but then there was always this hidden confidence that since we have studied we will be able to answer atleast something...

one interesting viva was that of COA. (4th sem by kalbande) i went with harsh inside hoping that we would be able to come out as fast as possible... but that was not to be...
i think we were there for almost an hour inside...at the mercy of the external only... (kalbande had went to bring apple juice for him)... we thought we were screwed... but it wasn't to be

instead it turned out to be a GD with he discussing with us about various untouched topics... when we came out ppl were baffled with our reactions...anyways thats not the end

continuing with the topic many sems passed in that way... but i am most sad about the last sem... not for vivas but bcoz i couldn't be with him in this last set of vivas... i had a gr8 level of understanding with him... not that i m not comfortable with others but going with him for the vivas always used to be comfortable...

thanx harsh for those good old days ...bye
