MAD makes a difference in your exams too !!

13 November 2009 Posted by Karthik

One fine day, in the Department of Computer Science, CUSAT -

945 AM *Chey! I’m late!!*
*Enters exam hall*
”Why are you late ?”
”Sir, no water sir!”
”Oh..okay..get in!”

And thus I enter, take my place and think what to do. After gazing at everyone in the hall, I stare at my question paper for Industrial Organization & Management and realize – Studying in bits and pieces doesn’t help :(

That’s my question paper -

DSC01806

Hmm…now to write…my name and wait till 10 before I say ok, tata, bye bye!!

Current Emotion – Only if I had studied…a little bit more…or something… :s
Negative Creep – Start writing dodo !
Current Emotion – Eh, what ?? I don’t know nothing!
Negative Creep- Take the MAD drought, go doze off…and rejuvenate.

Now, as MAD as my brain gets, I walk into imagination lands and suddenly, I see a whole new world of manipulation.

The question paper now seems as -

Q1) What do Shahnaz, Meera, Nidheesh etc. do in the HR bunch?

Q2) Why according to Shahnaz, the HR bunch is the most important ?

Q3) What’s the role of PR in MAD ? What do you do ?

Q4) Who are the divergent people that you chance upon in your MAD life?

Q5) How does Hannah manage the monthly budget ?

 

1130AM
”How much will you write ? Submit your paper now !!”
”One moment sir!”

So basically, what I wrote was majorly my experiences and debates (or wars, as Shahnaz likes to call it). Enough said, I got 37/50..quite ok innit ??

Now the next paper -

DSC01788

Just three words outta my mouth  – Baap rey baap.

 

Ahoy maddie !!

  • Fantastic application of thought. (Adversity brings out the best eh?? :P )

    What would be really cool, as well as being usefully productive; would be if you impart this knowledge to the kids that MAD work with. A narration of this incident (or simplified versions) of it would demonstrate that learning isn't constrained to what you pick up only from books, and that the kids already know a lot more than they think.

    Slumdog dealt with that a bit - but giving them living proof - and getting to meet the person in the flesh - will leave a lasting learning experience.
