Who has passed a single test without the examination hue and cry!!!???

Tagged by Satish , I’m going to share some of my weird experiences in Examination halls…..!!!

I was very small when i came down to chennai, and so i dont quite remember the examination i attended in my native. All i remember is that, there used to be a mam, whose name started with “P”. Well, You can tell me, I’m very good or bad at remembering names. If i forget the names, I remember the Starting letter , and if i remember I remember them with their initials and Surnames *pats back*. coming back to where I left, I only remember, that during the exams while the mam made rounds inspecting, and I was busy drawing A-Apple and B-Banana, her duppata used to wipe my face, and I used to pull it and take a sniff . lol i still wonder what brand of talc/ perfume she used

And then my experiences started off with tests at my school in chennai. I still remember, I used to sit and bite my nails before the question papers arrived. By the time it came, I thanked god I spared my fingers. And the most weirdest part was that, when i started taking my pen and write the first answer, a background song started playing in my mind. I dont know how this used to happen, but I guess some have this habit, those who are more inclined towards movie songs . My sis too shares the same habit, once we both sat and discussed about the examination part and she said, “I always get some song , some old songs in my mind while writing exams, weird na…??” I havent yet told her that i shared the same , else where would i held my head high and say her, learn- something- from- me dialogue . Weird but true, i have got “Jhalak dikhalaja.. ” remix edition everytime i entered exam hall.

In my class during 8th or 9th, there used to be a guy, lemme address him as N, he used to sit behind me in roll no. order, and when he finished his paper, he used to start sneezing and coughing to make us alert, that he was done with his paper and wanted help from us to complete the rest. God! how horribly he coughed, sometimes i felt to throw duster on him lol. And then started the code word for match the following questions and choose the best answers. we had coded Forehead- A, nose-B, mouth-C, and neck-D. Whatte fun!! the others used to show numbers and then one of us would scratch head for A, sneeze and rub nose for a B, yawn and wipe mouth for C and then cough and rub neck for a D. The whole exam used to go on this way!! I didnt get a chance of trying hands on “bits” coz, i didnt have enough time to prepare itself and i always have had big handwriting, so that my papers were filled up and masters put more marks to them

And then during my training days, once we were asked to write a code for a batch program, and it was like a deciding factor of how much the trainee have learnt during the training. Once the program description was given , i started writing down the answers. I was so busy writing the code, that i forgot what was going on around. And then suddenly a voice from back “Please move your hand, i cant see what’s written after the File-1″ , and i turned back to see, that Happy singh was actually copying my code. When i moved my hand i saw, that what i had written after the File-1 was just

AAA DDD XXX

some chars as an example for sorting file and he was infact copying my example also. I was laughing and i whispered, “thats just an example, i have just scribbled, leave it, write something else”. For which he said, “dats ok, i wil copy that also, you dont worry”. And then the famous dialogue came to my mind “ee-adicha copy” (Fly-Hit copy in Tamil) well, bad at translating this one… it means, when you copy, you also copy the fly which was hit on the paper.

I remember during my test for Campus interview, the college lunch had Biriyani on the menu, and me being a foodie, i had all concentration on the menu than the questions. Losing to my first campus test, i felt i wanted to make it to the first company, but couldnt , so no use of any other tests. And so i wrote all the answers that were just close by, eg: 9.65 became 10 and so on… this was how i cleared my test Interview was just another test. Leave me to talk and i would just go on..thats how i did good in school debates and extempores!!!

I have always been on the bad side as far as copying the answers were considered. Being a class lead, and then batch lead, I had no option other than maintaining my image. I wish i get a chance sometime in near future to get hands on experience in “Bits”.

I’m not that as good as Satish, but tried my hands on this experience.!!:D
