Assignment no. X>>
Whew at last I have one free day to myself – night actually but who cares.. during the latter part of the semester, the day starts only after the college gets over. That is the time when you suddenly realise that there are some things in life called assignments and experiments. That is the time when you rush out of classes- not to your home but to the nearby xerox shop to get the pages that will give you company for the rest of the day.A few usual dialogues that rule the conversation during these days include (ranked almost in decreasing order of frequency of usage) (X = subject, Y = number):
- “CR kuch kaam ke nahi hai.. postpone bhi nahi kara sakte!” (grabs the number one
) - “arre tera X ka assignment Y hua kya?”
- “tera hone ke baad mujhe de na”
- “tera kisne book kiya hai?”
- “Mera Y experiment kiske paas hai!?”
- “haan” (reason stated below.. note its used more frequently than the question )
- “main xerox ke liye daal raha hu tujhe chahiye?”
- “pencil aur scale de na ek minute”
- “tera ho gaya hai to mera graph/diagram bana de na please..” (“..chinese samosa khilaunga” – optional)
- “X mein kitne experiments hain?”
- “Ye assignment kab diya tha!?”
- “Mera 1st assignment bhi check nahi hua hai.. kya karu?”
- “X ki lab kaunsi hai?”
- “X kaunsa subject hai!”
- “Mera sab likhkar ho gaya!” (obviously the last spot!)
As a suggestion to freshers in the engineering stream, I would just say that identify an “assignment-finish-two-days-before-submission” type person and book it well before (preferably right on the day it was given, even before that won’t hurt). If you’ve remembered about it just in the recess break AND person sitting next to you has in fact finished it and not yet been booked, then you know lady luck’s shining her wand. Otherwise, all hail the Xerox Machine
