The week that was (04/08/2010)
Nothing is certain in this world except death and The Week That Was, I am backJ. Hey everyone, it is nice to see you all back in the campus and as usual my mate is eager to befriend all the pretty juniors (beware of him girls). I got so frustrated during summer holidays that I started reading my textbooks to beat boredom. I missed a lot of things though, from alcoholic-hostel-sambar (it really does get u drunk after drinking couple of spoons) to the last minute preparations for exams and surprise quizzes. The summer holidays were too damn boring because I spent most of the time on my couch wondering, whether changing channels in the TV could be counted as an exercise and how many calories I would have burnt in the process.
I don’t know if you have noticed this, it takes two minues to go from additional hostel to the parking lot in bike and 15minutes to walk from parking lot to Campus, but you can go from hostel to classroom in 14minutes if you decided to walk instead. I was out for a movie (Madarasapattinam) with my mate the other day and whilst searching for some loose change to pay for the ticket, my mate accidentally picked a used ticket of Avatar from his pocket. He went on and on about what a great movie Avatar was and how brilliant James Cameron is. But I couldn’t concentrate on it, coz one thing distracted me continuously, “how could he have an old ticket of Avatar in his Jeans? It’s been a few months since the movie has been released isn’t it?” I kept asking myself, then after a few moments it struck me, so I said, “Dude, your frickin Jeans needs a wash for God’s sake”. Talking about movies, why do all girls love Twilight so much? It scares the hell out of me on thinking that all girls fancy their boyfriends to be a man-eating Vampire.
Last few weeks most of you guys were busy preparing and presenting the Term paper/summer project report and we all know how it is going to help us in the future! Congrats to those who completed it successfully, I met the Head Chef of Additional Hostel the other day and we had a lot of catching up to do (we have become great friends you know), so when he asked me what I did in Vacation, I told him about the Term paper I did and to my utter disbelief I heard that he also had Term paper when he studied in his Culinary School. He said he found it difficult because, Term paper was meant for people who had arrears and asking someone who failed in studying one book to read 100articles is like asking someone with asthma to blow 100baloons/day for two months. I would like to quote his exact words, “I have a tough time identifying a unifying theme between 30 rock-hard Parottas I cook, so asking me to identify a unifying theme from 30articles written by 30authors proved to be a nightmare”. I dismissed his opinions straight away because I don’t believe that he learned about cooking, he must have inherited the skills from the angels preparing Amirudh in heaven.
I have become arrogant these days thinking that I have spent an entire year on learning about Businesses and how to be a Manager, so I know the best. My belief was that, I could solve any problem in the real world if I think like a true manager and this was the reason for my Arrogance. So when my mom asked me to buy Coconut the other day, I started thinking about the entire supply chain of the Coconut industry and started calculating the opportunity cost of not using the Coconut in the Chutney. I also wanted to use the knowledge of statistical packages like SPSS and I intended to design an optimal transportation model for the Coconut from the Farmer to the Consumer (having failed in Research Methods-2 and Quantitative Techniques and re-doing the course it was obvious that I needed to improve my knowledge). I did Correlation analysis to find out if Coconut makes Chutney taste better, having framed the null hypotheses and doing a rigorous data collection, I managed to get the feedback from 240 respondents and many of them didn’t choose any of the options from the five point scale, instead they answered in two words “**** you”.
After doing all the tests in SPSS (including blood test) I rejected both null and alternative hypotheses because it took more than 2months for the study to be completed and the two month old Chutney started smelling worse than my room-mate’s pillow cover (bugger washes it once a year). I was disappointed that my knowledge of Re-Do went astray, it became do-do-tutudooo. I am highly motivated to use my knowledge for the betterment of mankind in the forthcoming years, some of the hypotheses I am planning to test are as follows: Why do all rowdies eat leg-piece of Chicken in all the movies?, What effect did changing the name of all TASMAC’s in CBE post Semmozhi conference had on the welfare of the classical language Tamil? How many managers actually solve accounting/financial problems manually instead of using softwares in real life (because one can never graduate from any b-school without knowing how to calculate values manually even though a PC can solve it in 2seconds)? Some say I spend too much time on Facebook and Some say I am crazy, well I don’t care about all those, I can prove that everyone who likes me is perfect because I am the best example of their choice J. Anyways enough of my BS for this week, love you all, I will see you when I see you.
T(amanna is gorgeous)hank you.
