Operations Research and Automated Manufacturing Systems saved my face...I managed to get a 7 out of 8.
Heat and Mass Transfer (Remember Vaaranam Aayiram Surya!) and Mechatronics were bad with a 5 out of 8.(Again missed a 6 in Mechatronics by 1 mark! unlucky :( )
Machine Dynamics was okay with a sixer(6) (But managed that by 1 mark this time, got lucky!)
Control Systems stole the show...3 out of 8...had the teacher given me a mark more I would have atleast been on 4!
EVS - Sir was unkind this time too (probably this had more to do with my handwriting :) )..gave me a cold 4.
The toppers in each were obviously at 7 or 8...
Overall..worst performance... second time I flunked in my internals (The first one being in Maths in III Semester)...need to buck up before the hell breaks loose...But all's better said than done..Hoping and praying for the best!
Got any tips on how to control Control Systems from giving me nightmares...a paper in which even some of the best in ECE Department performed poorly last semester? Then please do share them...

Finally, The Results Are Out!
As planned by me, I got up quite early today and went to seek the blessings of the elephant headed God.We were expecting that the results would be released before the end of lunch either in the 10:45 or the 12:50 break.But the examination dept. had different plans.
After the lunch somebody told that the results will be out at 4:00 in the evening.
All of a sudden, there was a huge crowd outside the Mechanical Engg. Dept. office. Some people had already seen their results on the Net.Students started crowding at the college's central computing centre,even dept. lab PCs were used for viewing the results.With all these places already overcrowded, I and some of my classmates decided to wait for the office clerk to post the results on the notice board.The clerk came along with a lab attender holding the much feared results in his hands after 15 min.I could hear my heart pounding.I just wanted to pass.I wanted to see the words PASS and not FAIL in front of my reg. no.
But those words evaded me for a minutes which seemed like hours(how right Einstein was in his explanation of the theory of relativity!)First the second yr. results were posted, then came the Third yr. results..Reg. No. 01,02,....23,24,...56,..78,79,....
Then the sheet which had my no. was hidden by the many faces belonging to those anxious souls standing before me.I had to wait.Then when I managed to get in front..I could see 85,86,..89,90,..then 91.
What I experienced in the next few seconds was agony...The GPA as well as the PASS/FAIL comment was hidden by the brass handle of the notice board glass.I had to push through to the first row to peep into the place that had my career plans written on it...and then finally it was there..those very words that I longed to see-PASS!I wanted to jump...
I had to do more of this peeping to view my GPA ...a decent eight point seven one.Then I started seeing my marks in each subject..my friends' marks...the toppers' marks(nine point two nine)...returned to hostel shared this happy news of PASSING with my friends...heard the marks of other dept. guys..there were 2 ten pointers in ECE...more than 25 getting above nine..similar was the case in other depts. too..nine point nines and eights....
But I wasn't bothered.thanked Ganesha profusely.All I wanted was to pass...Maybe I can improve my CGPA in the remaining semesters.Till then have lots of fun..after all what is college life for!

Keying In My First Blog
Hey God! Here is a 19 yr. old kid new to blogging!
Here I begin my not-so-personal personal blog.
The Results that were to be released Today!
Expecting my fifth semester results today,I made no mistake and lost no time in getting up early and going to the Ganesh temple in my hostel.Praying to the elephant-headed God is one of my favrut activities which I don't fail to do if I'm in the hostel.
But today,I prayed with more seriousness fearing the results.I was especially worried about passing in the Total Quality Management paper(most probably corrected very strictly) and the Kinematics of Mechanisms paper(which I had messed up "very carefully"!).
An arrear at this time was the most dreaded thing I could imagine at this time of Global Economic Slowdown.Campus placements were bound to be affected(the principal mentioned it yesterday and told us to opt for higher studies).I hadn't failed in any of the papers yet and if I failed this time it would have shaken me.I wasn't so bad in studies as to fail an exam, but this time I had clearly messed up my exams with late night preps and silly mistakes in the answers.
After finishing off the bonda and upma in the mess, I headed straight for my Control Systems Class.One hour over.Hour two was Environmental studies.A short 15 min. break and a possibility of the results being out now.Or maybe at lunch time.
The Deputy Conroller of Examinations who handles a class for my neighbouring class announced results will be declared on Monday.Tension eases on several faces.My friends Satti,Bonda,BooBoo and co. all pack up their bags and leave for home happily. Had the results been announced today, they might have preferred to stay here.
But the results will definitely come out on Monday.The Grade Points of which I was usually concerned about have now taken a back seat.I simply want to pass in all the subjects.
Help me Ganesha!I'll be there on Monday morning too!
