Presentation

Ask any guy (or any gal) in final year (or for that matter, any year), the most dreadful thing is "Presentation", presenting the work done in front of two/three elite people of that area (or more, if you didn't pray your lord in morning).

If you haven't done good work, then don't pray your lord, I have heard it from Udham Singh, "Gods don't indulge in illegal activities, and they don't bargain too." Even if you have done enough amount of work, there is always an imbalance in presentation. So many eyes are focussed on you (4-6 for sure, i am assuming nobody has an eye-ailment), you are a center of attraction, rather enjoyment :DD. Your heart is pumping like that of a cock, who's about to be onslaught... or that of a male buffalo before sacrificing... got it! (need more examples???? message me.)

I have always encountered this question, whenever someone asks what am I doing?, and I have to undergo a tremendous amount of pain to get him/her understand Dual Degree... Dual Degree was a concept initiated by IITs to encourage students getting into research work. Admission is through JEE only, and choice towards this curriculum is made at time of counselling. This is a 5-year course with around 3 years same as normal Btechs, fourth year includes advanced post-graduate courses, and fifth year includes a Post-graduate level project completed in 3 stages. First one includes complete literature survey of related area, and is completed in summer term just after 4th year. Second stage is completed in December, and more than half work is expected in this. Final presentation is in next July.

Now, as my first stage presentation is over, I am quite relaxed.. It's not that I am free now. There are a lot of things waiting for me to go near them and do them, but I am sleeping on a nice bed in my room, with Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar singing in background (sometimes Rafi also fights for his number) List is randomised, you idiot!

Though people may shift their area of work, but amount of work done, dedication towards it, command on the related subject, and GRADE ultimately, have an everlasting impact on your confidence, intellectual wealth, and very importantly CPI (Cumulative Performance Index).

My suggestion to everyone who has to give a presentation is to help everybody, be kind to weak students, don't pain animals, give money to beggars.. do all so-called-kind stuff... Who knows their wishes may help save your ass? Now I realise the ultimate aim behind these presentations is very subtle, "To make students good human beings" And mind you, wishes of these people, what the hell!!! Even God can't save you if you haven't done enough... Moral of the story, "Do good work, and help others (that may help you)."
