Midterm fuss!

Midterm fuss!


Midterms!... One of the most underrated still one of the most important occasions in engineering course.
And if you are in the first year, beware!
You are probably gonna flunk in a subject if you think it's not that important.
You may enjoy the term but the speed bump called " midterm" is gonna get you!


Six subjects, 3 days and midterms get over...
Short span is what makes midterm the most underrated and the most dangerous speed bump in the course.
If you chilled out all the term and never really gave importance to the internal exams, you might possibly get shocked after you get your test results!
Honestly, you have no idea how the boy sitting on the last bench unexpectedly is the topper of the class!
The boy who appears to be studious flunks in almost all subjects!
And middle benchers like me pass with satisfactory scores or flunk a subject or two...

The game has evolved over years...
The days where you could make out how much one can score by his attention in the class are gone!
I've realised that, engineering is a place where people who work their asses off at night have a great chance of topping the class than others.
But if you won't score really good even after putting a lot of efforts, don't get disheartened.
Always remember... Hardwork beats talent, period.

Midterms are held after a month of teaching of every term.
Endterms are held after the syllabus is taught.
If you fall short of few marks in the mid, you get a chance to cover it all in the end.

The importance of the midterms is that it's an awakening for some people who are too lost in their own world of distractions. ( This is me!!!)
For some, it does the work of confidence booster ( These guys always score well...Dr. Workoholic)
For some, it does not have its effects ... (These people have thick skin when it comes to scoring low... But yes they excel in some other fields as they do not live their life based on other people's opinions)

Now wait! ... You'll say, what will Endterms do then?
Nah...I won't say anything good about Endterms!
It is the prediction of kind of marks you'll get in the University exams.
If you perform extremely poor in the Endterms, you're doomed!
You can't expect to reach the finals and lift the cup of you can't get through the playoffs!
It's Do or Die...

Conclusion:- Midterms, the speed bump in way, can be boon for students like me who spend their first month of the terms messing around!
I have a lot of assignments to complete, I have Mr. Tenecious's copies with me;
Tomorrow is the submission day and I have miles to go before I(go to) sleep!

Fake influencers: The agents of manufactured reality

 Fake influencers: The agents of manufactured reality How many public figures do you follow on various social media platforms? It’s great to be up-to-date with what’s going on in their life, isn’t it? Maybe you’re a big fan of his/her work or post feed. Their presence on social media ensures that they stay relevant to the culture and give their followers a chance to get a peek into their lives. A good amount of following can be used to create awareness, raise money for a cause and create a strong community. On the flip-side, it can also be used to push products/courses that benefit only the ones who sell them, and imbibe ideologies that are biased and serve no good to society. Many of such influencers sell us manufactured reality time and time again. It can severely affect our well-being as being the consumers of the same. There’s a lot of political tension in the world. People divide themselves based on countries, beliefs, races, genders, and ideologies. Most of them are ...

How did the professors adapt to online lectures?

How did the professors adapt to online lectures? Now that most of the colleges have started conducting lectures online, our monotonous lives have become even more monotonous. Waking up, attending lectures, completing the work assigned to us by the professors, and having some time for ourselves at the end of the day has become the new normal. The online education platforms have been a challenge for all of us that we have adapted to quite successfully. But we’re Gen Z! Most of us touch their phone first even before they touch their toothbrush in the morning. We have made technology a vital part of our lives. What about the ones who haven’t? What about the professors? Well, the online lectures were started right after the lockdown in the last academic year. It was like the resort to completing the syllabus and not the exact substitute for classroom lectures. But as it wasn’t safe to reopen the institutes while students’ academic year was seemingly going to waste, the online l...

The Real Superhero...

The Real Superhero... You meet a lot of people in your life and most people will be forgotten with time. But, some people always have some influence over you even though you've lost the touch with them. Some people just take you back in time to remind you of the lessons you learned from them. Maybe you don't know everything about them, but something about them just tells that he/she is a kind person than he/she appears to be. This post is about one such person whom my parents don't even know about, he's no more but he has inspired me a lot during my childhood. This is a story of a man, who lived by his own rules, This is the story of an engineer, who was full of compassion but still lived a lonely life, This is a story of an introvert, who shared a great bond with kids, This story is about Uncle Dinesh. Uncle Dinesh was an engineer and in his late 60's when I first met him. His apartment was a level below mine. I never knew he existed even though I...
