why the board exams???
actually, i am against it. i don't think there is any need of a board exam, atleastin the tenth standard. as my results were arriving, i got tensed up. i started going to the chuech every single day. i became a very good boy, atleast for the time being. i truly felt the love o god when the results came. i've secured 95.2% marks which is kind of too good for me. i've scored higher than many of the toppers at school. i was really surprised and happy with the results.
i realised why god created board exams???? it is for people like me to turn to god and strengthen our believes in god.

and finally i'm back.
the past three four months were the most challenging in my life coz of ma boards. i wished to say abt my boards but now i'm not interested. i like to deal with the present than with the past. so i'm sharing my experiences at the ntse camp.
the camp was supposed to be for all the whiz kids of kerala- that is, the top 1.8% who cleared the prelims of ntse. but there were exceptions like me who were just idiotic.
i stayed with gopu at sbt holiday home at vazhuthacaud for the 10 days of the camp. it was real fun being with gopu. both of us had more or less common interests like music, math, movies and cricket. so we enjoyed our stay thoroughly. i should say the experience of staying there was much better than the camp itself.
the classes were taken by oldies, most of them wearing our very own mundu and with grey hair or no hair at all!!!! the teacher who took mat was proff.gowrikkuty and she was simply superb. i wonder how quickly she does those mental ability questions. she is really special with a hi tech brain. and the max teachers were also really good. both number's sir (4got his name) and geometry sir (e krishnankutty or something) were really MAD ABOUT MAX. rarely can we find such teachers with so much interest in their topic. its just like they r made for that and nothing else. all the teachers were the best in their own fields in kerala. but to befrank, i dint listen to some of those physix classes but was playing bounce on gopu's mobile. the social teachers were also cool coz we dint feel like sleeping even in those driest of topics like ancient history or the constitutuion of india.
the students were all (no, not all of them, to my pleasure) buji's or weirdos or nerds or padippists or whatever it is. except for a few like me, gopu, nevin, ashwin, shamil, nikhil etc, every1 fought in the mornings to get the front seats so that they can listen furiously. and it was fun to have lotsa weirdoz around....kids were soooo intelligent that they turned abnormal. some of them r so crap that they don't like to ta;lk abt anything outseide the ntse syllabus.
our main interest was in GOAL-ADI, but we failed in our attempts. we r not gud enuf 2 flirt on buji's. though we set high standards in mouth looking, all of us turned out to decent in appearance. there was a gilrl called caroline from st thomas, tvm. i've seen her b4 in the india's child genius quyz show by siddhartha basu. gopu with all his guts n shamelessness went n asked her "hello, r u caroline?". yes came the reply. and he contd "the one at india's genius child ??". he said the name wrongly, but she dint care, she went with a smile. and that was the lone event of a rajagirian trying to hit a goal at the camp.
enuf of uzhappal at tvm n i am back at cochin. so preparing for ntse by watching television, playing basketball, orkutting etc.

I THREW MYSELF OUT OF THAT GANG TO JOIN ANOTHER. ASHOK(THE SERIOUS BUDDY N THE BIGGEST PADIPPIST, CRACKS JOKES AT TIMES), SUNDAR(WEARING A FREAKY PANTS AND SHIRT. WE TEASED HIM SAYING HE LOOKS LIKE A CLOWN), KURIAN(THE PERFECT BLEND OF SERIOUSNESS AND FUN-SUPERCOOL DUDE) AND BILAL(MY VERY OWN MASTER B.

LATER WE HAD LUNCH, T'WAS BIRIYANI WITH VERY LESS GHEE. AS I HATE FOODS WITH OIL AND GHEE, I PREFER THIS BIRIYANI TO SOME OTHERS. THEN WE HAD BOATING WHILE SOME OTHERS PLAYED ROBBER AND POLICE. AFTER BOATING CAME THE MOST DREADFUL MOMENT. WE WERE CAUGHT BY SAJINI MISS FOR VAYNOTTAM. IT WAS ACTUALLY A MISUNDERSTANDING OF SOME OF THE GIRLS,
WE HAD SOME ADVENTURE BY ENTERING SOMEONE ELSE'S ROOM BUT THOMMACHAN GOT HOLD OF US. OUR PLANS OF WATCHING DON OR DHOOM 2 WAS THUS A FAILURE.
AFTER REFRESHING OURSELVES, WE WENT TO A HILLTOP NEARBY. AFTER THAT WE HAD THE BEST PART OF THE DAY- THE CAMP FIRE.
WE PUT OUR HANDS TOGETHER IN TUNE WITH THE MUSIC. LATER WE STARTED DANCING LIKE ANYTHING. SUNDAR TURNED INTO MY DANCE GURU.EXCEPT FOR THE CD PLAYER GETTING STUCK EVERY NOW AND THEN, WE HAD A REALLY COOOL TIME. WE WENT ON TO HAVE LUNCH(AAH, SOME PEOPLE CALL IT DINNER). THEN WE STEPPED INTO OUR BUSES AND THUS MY LAST PINICAT RPS CAME TO AN END.

just posted some old archived quizzes.
today, we had the max test. got 20/20. thats not a big deal for me usually. but under the new circumstances, its a pleasure. this mid term exams were a nightmare for me. my grades dropping in almost all the subjects. and max is really interesting: from 97% in the terminal to a stooping 80% and god alone knows how i managed the issue with our tuition teacher. luckily, my parents r not very interested in my studies. i haven't told my worst ever science marks-76% to my parents. haha.
feel like uzhappaling but i know its tenth and i gotta study. i've been pledging myself that i'm gonna study well for the boards, but my habit of extending things for the future is making me a real loser.

today was the chemistry test. as usual, i went empty headed. i was thinking over whose paper to copy. finally i decided on ks kurian, who is a chemistry wiz. but my plans didn't work out. smitha sebastian miss, our chemi teacher caught me for changing place during the test. she reminds me of the proff in main hoo na. spit flows out like a fountain from her mouth. and a front bencher like me can't resist holding a popy umbrella. haha. i should say some of our teachers are dumb!!! she asked all the questions from the same guide n all students with that guide are gonna get full marks. and the not so serious about studies people like me can't afford to get good marks as the questions were all tough. u can't find a single question thats straightforward. but the test wasn't that bad as i expected. think i would get some 70-80% in the test. tomorrow is the max test. being my favourite subject, i never study it. the fuckin calculation mistakes r frightening me. board exams can decide one's life and if i make a few careless mistakes, all's gone-life really sucks.
i'm not feeling like studying but to chat n orkut. got a new frnd kyra through orkut. she's really grt to talk with. its midnight now. so lemme go sleep, no lemme study something for the next quiz.
