This is the point where we started entering into department subjects. Not many department subjects but CO, C++, Chemistry and physics exclusively for circuit branches.
First look at the Chemistry sir, Kaaniappan. He came for lab during first semester. I thought he was a strict officer. But he is not very strict. His bonus marks for assignments and tutorials are real good. "Your class average mark in this tutorial is very low pa. So I give +1 mark for all". Whenever he enters the class he used to tell this dialogue "Those who sit in the last bench, come to first bench pa". Even if first bench is full,.. He gave 'S' grade to many guys and he just spitted the marks to everyone in final exams. But the subject was very wague. I started finishing all the internals(exams) within 5 mins. Infact, everyone in chemistry department wondered when I finished the second internals in 10 mins. I forget to mention one thing - He awarded 25 - 27 marks for all those who attend 3rd internals.
Then, Maths mam. Oh God... How she managed to take class for whole hour (without any diversions). She was real lecturer, taking attendence while we works out the problems. She always starts with the dialogue "Saaaaaallv" We asked half hour break to prepare for lab exams, she gave 5 mins. But she finished the whole maths syllabus... Gr8 really.
Workshop. Everyone had workshop in their first sem., CSE mattum second sem. Two mech faculties handled the workshop - Ramu, Raju. (They are humans with monkey names). My first workshop division was lumbering. After boring class, we started working on a piece of wood. Manoj took the sawal and at last he made a scale out of that wood (avlo elachuttan). That was a thick wood. Then comes pal pandi comedy. He was @ plumbing division. I heard once that IT students askd his name and he refused to tell them, in the same class a guy came to him shouting 'pal paandi sir, ungalukku phone'. Vetty scene nai.
Suganthi maam - CO. Marakka mudiuma. She started with the same old diagram (she drawn the same diagram for G1 when she entered her first class with them for C). I think she again put the same diagram in her first muP class. Oh God!! Regarding her valuation.., how she be able to study all the papers from top to bottom. Even she fully valuated the MuP program. Thanks to Madhumathi mam, she took 3rd internals, we got atleast a respectible mark.
Yea, Yea Yea,, Chemistry Lab... Mr.Kaniappan. How can I forget a experiment where me and manoj mixed extra water(too much) (accidentaly) and got accurate answers. We got 50. I think I mixed too much water that answer s not at all possible. And on the other side, brinda was doing te experiment wit pin point precision only to get this dialogus "U might have diluted the solution too much" and she belivd tat we did gr8, and she missd it. Guess the standards of Chemistry dept. Then for the last experiment (Anodizing), we didnt got the answers, but kaniappan called for correction, we dont know what to do. And the other batch got some 48. Then comes the singham rescue - Manoj got a model observation (prev year). We copied the values from that observation, and got 50 for that exercise too (Anodizing plate a oru varusham a mathala). Mapla was a real man in chemistry lab. He will help Sir to finish last sentence.
Sir : "You have to pour 50 ml of water"
Mapla : (With Tapping head) "50 ml water"...
Sir : "And mix concentrated sulphuric acid "
Mapla : (tapping the head)"sulphuric acid"
And it goes on for all te experiments.
Then the physics lab. Thanks to naveen, I finished the experiments successfully. The viva in physics lab s te ultimate comedy. We have to go individually to attend the viva. There, sir ll be on form some time (ask unrelated questions) and sometimes some easy questions. But I don may anytin, for most of te guys the viva marks are fixed (8). The mark will vary wrt the order you are going
(If you are going infront of other staff, u may even get tougher questions and might get 5 or 6).Some of the unforgettable experiences are,... "Mech quit te football match due to fear of F5ERZ" written in board (I hope it s not in 1st sem). ISRO Rockets in CO, made Suganthi mam curse the entire class. Physics sir looting a cellphone (he gave eventually after 5 mins) saying some s**t new mobile rules. Starting of kumudham sms (I believe anbu startd it). Chill out mass...,
Those are green memories..., Will never ever come back again.., Those innocent faces in first year.., The PEC period., Pipette, Burette for one last time..., And when you think of it.., you want to relive again...,
Hope u got some of te moments of ur second sem. Hope u nyod it. Bye folks..,
