Believe me, I am not getting my Maths wrong. 3 does equal 27.
Getting repeats in OBGY lectures in KEMH is an age-old traditon. 118 lectures are held every year and you should have attended atleast 97 to complete your 75% quota. Now most people do complete this quota by hook or mostly by crook(courtesy proxies). But since the attendances are usually misplaced, the department hands out random repeats. And having done the folly of attending quite a few(read too many), I could hardly be glad when I got the dubious distinction of being a topper amongst the BBC again by getting the highest no of repeats - 27 to be exact! Now to repay this deficit, one has to attend with our joons who have 4 lectures a week. Since my joons had the distinction of being useless when it comes to attending lectures, I had resigned myself to wasting 4 hours per week in these lectures for 7 weeks till 19th July.
Then someone had a brainwave.
Divya made a list of names and roll nos of the 11 of us who hang out whenever time permits and smsed it to all of us. Now we have to attend serially according to our roll nos and mark the attendances, dutifully keep track of our turns and remind the next roll no for her turn. It is obvious that 3 actual attendances should be sufficient to cover up all the deficits with some surplus (especially for those of us who have been lucky to escape with 15-16 repeats. [:-(] )
Anyway the wheels have been set into motion...hopefully things work out so that the repeats are not carried forwards to the PL. Also hope that the attendance sheets are submitted properly and people don't spot the glaring similarities in the way 11 people sign especially on days when it is Saumya's turn! But then as a wise aleck once said, "Man lives in hope. Without hope, there would only be despair".
Touchwood!
P.S. 7 down...20 more to go.
A behenji by any other name would have seemed equally gavaar.
