CHAPTER 5 November: The Interrogation...

Whenever you hear a word “Viva” from any engineer at first impression you will think of the word “Divas” the models from the fashion industry.  The divas are more sexy and beautiful than a “Viva”. Viva will take the heart out of your body if your brain is not prepared to the questions shot by an External Examiner. Viva is the festive season of any engineering branch for any subject.  You can imagine a detective movie where the suspect is questioned to death and these movie makers always try to make the scene more interesting by adding hanging bulb over the table which is always in motion to and fro(God knows which paranormal power are helping the motion) and also the darkness to make the environment more serious.  The examiner know that you know only twenty percent of the knowledge and if you try to show the remaining part then you’ll come up the stories just similar to the aliens that they exist but no one have a proof to show their existence. The best part of any viva is to know the question asked in the interrogation form previous students in roll list. Ragav passed the entire viva with the average score but chemistry was more interesting. The examiner was a PhD and he asked such question to the students that it looked like he was conducting a research on the minerals found on the mars and asked to find the origin of that mineral. One of the best questions asked was “what will happen if you try to heat a open vessel filled with petrol???” . A normal guy always has a lump in his throat while heating a small vessel filled with water and this examiner was thinking about the petrol! However these examiners tried to test the basic knowledge in the subject and also tried to enhance the imagination power out of the text.   
Submissions come hand in hand with viva. Engineers feel like they just changed their profession to a clerk during this period. If all the assignments are submitted from time to time you’ll never face the burden of submission but if you fail to do so then the night is converted in to a day and you have a pen to write and load of assignments to be submitted the next day. Sometimes the graphics sheets are even traced to get the sheets completed and for this you need only a plane glass and decent bulb. This is where you feel like a true engineer.

A Forest is best place for bird watching. Similar to a forest, college is best place for a human environmentalist.  Akki was the rock and roll guy. He never hesitated to speak to any person either sitting next to his seat in class or canteen. One day Ragav and his roommates were having fun at the canteen. Suddenly Manoj spotted a girl sitting at the table next to them. Manoj said “ hey can see that beauty next to us? She’s the most beautiful among the freshers. And i bet that she don’t have a b.f”. with this comment the argument started between them about the statement “most beautiful girl in college”. Harsh didn’t agree about that statement and challenged Akki to make a friendship move to her. Akki accepted his challenge and went straight to her table and sat next to her. Soon they were having a conversation with smiles and laughers. When Akki returned every one among them were with wide open mouth and didn't believe what just happen. When Ragav asked “What did you chat about?” he replied with a wink “ It’s my secret”. Akki even succeed to get her number in the first encounter. Ragav was less interested in such things. He never liked chatting as he believed it’s a waste of time until the day that will change the meaning of chatting in his life.
