I bet I wouldn’t have been happier ( happy..to say the least!) if I was “pushed” into any section but “H”. there was no better class than this and I relished every minute of my life there.
Dr.R.Anand’s classes were very entertaining to attend with that jack ass failing miserably to lecture a class of smarties .Anand teachin chem was lik Jesus preaching Islam!( i apologise here if this hurts ur religious sentiments!!Sorry!) Every lecture of his started with his trademark action.. lampooning some student (and most likely was poor vishu/irfan or akshay) and sending him out of the class.
Bennet fr "energy" meant early to bed, early to rise.8:30 and 8:32 were poles apart for him. his combined lecture with F section meant more girls to ogle at :). though dubbed as the strictest of all, he doesn give a damn wat
Sat was the best in the biz wen it came to teaching and he made sure all his lectures v interactive and interesting.he was also voted as "The Best Teacher" unanimously
Though I feel HT was a shade b8r, I’m sure not many of my peers wud agree. She has lambasted at every possible soul in our class but still not without a reason! "ennapa arun ram," was her most quoted words bringin smiles on every face awake!
Baskaran’s physics always lacked sense though I admired him for his social concerns. His lectures were interspersed with “advices” and self kalaais!!( he claims he turned down a lucrative offer from IBM to pursue his passion-physics)
Kumsi- was the biggest joke that ever happened in H section! His engli(pee)sh was his forte and wud set even R.Anand rofl! His definition of “acceleration”(- it is the feeling u experience wen u go round and round in...wat is that..? haan.."rangaraatanam!!") was rated the best by RD and he topped the “comedian of the century” for a record breaking 57 weeks!!he was a very nice fella in person and he used to treat me lik his bro, showed his coll life pix, marriage pix n stuff. it was fun n frenz at same time!
Jerome for ED was not actually in the scheme of things as most of his classes were handled by his research scholar who had his face hidden deep in a forest of beard! also he was not much aware of wat he was teaching or taught and some classes were a "repeat" of earlier ones. we dint spare him too, shooting him with questions from all quarters of the class.
i don remeber the civil engg teachers name, but remember tat her stand-up comedies were well received among the audience (her eyes never left the civil manual that was eternally attached to her palms!) hers was the lecture in which no of proxies out beat the no of students present!!(somethin tat reflects good about her ;) ). this was the oly class with no doubts as ppl were caught up in the net lured by her...sleeping!
second semester brought about an unwarranted change. HT and Sat (unarguably the best faculty) were replaced by Lakshmanagomathinayagam (LGN)( don bother the name!!) and english dept HOD Mr.Meenakshi Sundaram (unisexual name meant i needed to add "Mr" rite at the frnt!). though they were good at their task, they couldn completely fill the void created by the absence of experienced HT and youthful Sat. Meenakshi Sundaram's refrain-"corporate world" irked students more than it favored. We dint have much to complain about the look alike of "Vairamuthu"-LGN.
wednesday afternoon meant Dhanalakshmi's EEE- 2 hours of non stop complicated intricate convoluted unadulterated elec engg. she was very good at it but a bit strict too( though it seemed less comparing the fact that she is frm ICE dept).class rep Hari had a tuf time convincing us to attend the double periods.
Baskaran and Anand continued with the same bull shit though with revived interests(lol!) i still remember Baskaran saying it loud n clear in the class he is no more interested in teachin us the crap..oops srry his passion!!
Autocad Gandhimathi was the dumbest of all..easily outwitted by us. the autocad sheets were a xerox copy of the master copies of either jans or hari who in turn copied from abhinav and mukund who actually copied frm The Master himself..Nithin..!he put all his assignments in Hari's a/c the name of the folder being "with luv, to H section". a noble act indeed!had it not been for him, we wud all ve had an extra exam this semester!:). she dint realise tat it hardly took us time to edit the name in the copies we submitted! this happened even in the sem exam..not surprising, rite??:)she was a nut case durin lecture hrs, sendin out students..aanand being the top draw:)
The oly ray of hope was e-mech Mariappan. He shuld ve had a "year back", for, his attendance fell well below the reqd 75% mark!:). thank his lucky stars, he escaped citing NSS as the reason!
prod lab meant fun. we were really happy tat we were provided with a lab to please ourselves! the in-charge "Parthasarathy"( i think) was a patriotic man. a tamil guy wud get 9/10 for the same piece a northi got 6/10." en pa..tamil payyan thaane nee? en pa intha maari laam vara??" referrin to the shirt worn by aanand inside his (unironed, wrinkled to the max poss extent) lab uniform. it still beats me wat it has got to do with being a "tamil payyan".anyways.. i owe him a lot for, his awarding a "s" grade to me boosted my gpa in the second sem!!
with all these was juxtaposed the intra class comedies and romances! hari-ankitha, jishnu-jans, vinod-akshya, rohit-roshni, akshay ramani-shruthi were the prominent ones, most being love triangles!(hahaha)!
though we were not really the favorite wen it came to performance..(oly 2 or 3 9pointers!), our guys have conquested every possible field in NITT. We had been the runners up in “WISDOM BLITZKRIEG 2008”. aanand made it to DT and plays a “guest role" in writers circle, akshya amutha hari n jans are in amrutha varshini, akshay ramani n ankitha are in the thespian’s society, bolo is in the coll cricket team while duri n amutha are in tamil mandram, hari is the name to reckon wit in EEE dept, had been/is a gr8 class rep and in delta and rahul ashok too is in delta as well as RMI. also jans was among the top 20 in the coll to be qualified to write an entrance for scholarship awarded by OP JEMS
The highlight of my life in H section was the English project during frst semester! full time
aanand, abhinav, akshya, akshay ramani, amutha, ankitha, bolo, cr, duri, genie, ep, hari, irfan, jans, jishnu, mukund, nandini, pyara, rahul ashok, rohit, roshni, seth, shruthi, sooj, vinod n vishu are a few prominent personalites who made my stay a really memorable one!!
Hip Hip Hurray!!
