Magical moments

A Classmate of mine Anil got Zero in the Exam. Lecturer has put '0' in the answerer sheet. On seeing this my classmate was confused. Anil went to lecturer and asked if the '0' is out of the total 30 Mark or 50 Mark. Now the Lecturer was confused.

Anil always travelled by Bus to College. Anil father bought him a new Bike. Anil came to College on the Bike oneday. On that particular day there was a Student's Protest. The College closed early. We got into a Bus went to the City. Half way through the Journey Anil realised that he had come to college by bike. But he got his bike back when he reached College.

Anil was an average student. During the exams he passes around 8 papers. When University exam results were published, Anil went to look for the results. He came home and told his father that he failed in all the papers. His dad was surprised and he went to University to Check the results again. The University publishes the result in a specific format. First people who has passed all the subjects Roll numbers will be there followed by Roll numbers of the persons who have failed in the respective subjects. If you have failed in all Subjects your Roll Number will not be there. Anil's dad came back and told him that he has passed. The reason is Anil never looked at the All Pass Section
Anil had a nickname called 'Wollen'- meaning Wolf. One of our Lecturer also had the same nickname. Anil came to the class very late when the Lecturer nicknamed Wollen was giving the lecture. He was furious when Anil came in late. He was screaming at Anil ' You always comes late to my Class Why'. I passed a loud Commnet ' You cannot have 2 Wollens at the same time in one Class'. Everybody had a good laugh.

Raman never Liked the Concrete block crushing test in Civil Engineering lab. He decided that he will mug up the values and use it in the experiment.In the exam he got it what he didnot want. He spent half an Hour fiddling with the machine and produced the results. He handed over the results to the Examiner. Examiner asked Raman to explain how he did the test. He said he did this that and got the results. Examiner was still not convinced. He asked how did you do the test when there is no Power Supply. Raman never realised this.

Raman had the lab exam in the afternoon. That was the time when the Examiner has his Coffee and snacks( vada and stuff). Examiner had pieces of paper folded and kept on the desk. each contained the name of the experiment. Raman had to take one of the folded paper to know what experiment he had to do. Raman came to the desk. Examiner asked him to take one. Raman said 'No I don't want'. Examiner said you must take one. Raman took a Vada from the Examiner's plate. Examiner held Raman's hand and said not vada, but one of the paper slips.
Saji has not prepared for his Foundation engineering exam. So he decided to copy from the book. He kept the books under the desk. As soon as he got the questions he started copying from the book. The Kind hearted Examiner came to Saji and took his book away. When he came to Saji again he found him still copying from a book. Examiner took the book away. He came for the third time to Saji. He found him still copying from the Foundation Engineering book. Finally Examiner decided to look under Saji's desk. To his surprise he found 15 to 20 copies of Foundation Engineering book which Saji has collected from all of us before the exam.

Our Class room has all the windows to the left handside when we are facing the blackboard. The Doors are to the right handside. Ajith was sitting near to the door. During a lectuer session Ajith stood up and said to the lecturer that his pen has fell out of the window. Lecturer was surprised. he said You are sitting to the right side where there is no window. Then how did the pen fall out of the window which is far away from you. He pulled the pen out of the hand from a person sitting next to him and threw it out of the window. It flew out this way sir. The Lecturer was left confused.
Sandeep's dad bought a car. One afternoon when his dad tried to start the car, it was not firing. He called us to give the car a push so that the car can be started by putting in the gear. However hard we pushed the car was not moving. Sandeep's dad was furious. He started screaming at us. 'You Guys are useless Push harder' We pushed harder still no use. Finally we have to ask him to take the leg from the Brake. He kept pushing the Brake down.

Engineering College decided to have a new Architecture block. A minister was drafted in to lay the Foundation stone(This is a small brick structure 1M X 1M with the Minister's name and day the stone was laid engraved on a black marble). Few of my friends got drunk and pushed the foundation stone down and it broke. They were taken to the Principal's room. Principal asked for explantaion. One person's reason was 'A Tornado came via the Corridor and pushed the foundation stone down'. Another person's reason 'We thought it was a brick wall and tried to climb over it and it fell down'. They were finally forced to pay its cost

Two persons have exhanged the papers to one another so that they can copy in the exam. The Examiner saw it. He wanted to catch them 'RED Handed' when they return the paper. Examiner came an stood in front of them. Poor Guys were stuck. Out of the blue they got an idea. Both of them dropped the papers on the floor and it was mixed up. They pulled out from the pile each of their respective answer sheets. Now the Examiner was caught Flat Footed.

A Mathematics professor decided to prove a theory in Trignometry. He wrote on the board
Sine^2 Theta + Cos^2 Theta = 1. Once he completed the sequence of steps it became Sine^2 Theta + Cos^2 Theta = 2. What will the Professor do just change the theory to what he got(Sine^2 Theta + Cos^2 Theta = 2) which unfortunately was not the correct one.

In Electrial lab everyone has to come wearing pants and shirt. It being Anila's birthday. She decided to come to lab wearing a saree. When doing an experiment she got into some probelem. So she called the lab Attentator to have a look. The edge of her saree had fallen on 2 piece of wire which she had been using for the experiment. The Attentator came to her and to remove the saree so that he can see the Wire(Wire in fact in Malayalam mean Stomach - This is basically meant for mallus). Anila was bit surprised and we all had a good laugh.

I lived at Poojapura(behind Central Jail). We had an isolated  short cut  to Poojapura via the outer boundary of Central Jail. One day I see a tall girl walking in front me. I introduced myself to her and we became friends. We used to meet up and walk via the isolated short cut. One day I reached Poojapura bus stop. As it was raining heavily I waited at the bus stop. Our Cable operator, came with an umbrella and offered me a lift. I politely said 'no'.  After sometime another bus comes and my lovely friend steps out of the bus. She indicates me to join her. As this Cablewalla is waiting next me, I can't join her. After 2 minutes I run out into the rain and join her umbrella. Cablewalla gets suspicious and follows me. He see me sharing umbrella with her. Cablewalla and my lovely friend's dad are friends. Trouble is brewing for us. Next day my lovely friend tells me that her dad asked about me. I told my sister and my mum about this girl and her dad will come for a visit. Few days later my lovely friend's dad arrives at home. He explains 'Your Son is spoiling my daughter's life'. My mum responds ' Why not marry them off'. My friend's dad steams out of my house.,,, There ends another potential love story. My Mum sees my Lovely friend after few days. Her reaction to me after seeing her ' You should continue to meet her'....

Hilarious...I had a good laugh! I remember you telling me some of these incidents from your Engg. days...
The guy who took a vada from the sir and the incident involving pushing the car with brakes on are my fav. I myself used to sometimes forget to take off the hand brake and wonder that the car needs a full checkup :)

Adipoli ! That was an intersting compilation of real life comic situations.

And I was impressed with the way you traced the shooting spot and found your friend.
