Listen To Science

What’s the funniest thing you discover in a school/class while studying? The ‘weird’ actions of friends? The strange topics in study we come across? The accent of teachers?? Well the furthest one i wrote shall be the closest answer…

This post isn’t racist or something like that, it’s about how some teachers have really funny way to teach which brings kind of a smile on the face of students, which is totally unintentional…

Let it be the South Indian ‘well thee eakshh mast bii jiro’ or the MP’s ‘dishh ij a cunjarviteve fanxen’ or the gayish ‘these guzers are sometimes, really annoying, hihihuhu’… I now share some of my teachers’ funny accents whom i’ve experienced till now and well, after reading this it must be clear why today people are capable of controlling their laughter in serious scenarios… So here it goes!

 

 

1. Our ‘Mach waali’: The Maths Teacher, 1st Semester ( Don’t know her name) 

Well, our whole batch A-05, 1st year, DTU is familiar with this teacher. She is a great teacher when it comes to telling the students the concepts in a nice manner, but apart from concepts something else does make students grab their attention to this teacher.

 

The Highlight:

‘N tendj tuu infeeneteeeeeee’……..

Well, this is the way she says ‘n tends to infinity’, and we just find it really hard to control our laughter. When she was teaching us a chapter on ‘sheequencej eand sheeriej’, we discovered new ways of how people can pronounce ‘raabej tesht’, ‘paajiteev tesht’ and ‘logaleethmeec tesht’.

 

 

 

And, as you know college students are more into ‘attendance’ than for the studies, most of our students hate this teacher because whenever it comes to attendance, the teacher shortlists it into ‘jo b ye queschan soalve krega m ooshi ko attendansh doongee’ (Whosoever solves this question gets the attendance), and when the students copy the answer from one another after some nerd solves it; huge, long, ANNOYING chants of ‘belliii guud’ surround the class.

 

2.  Our Maths Teacher (Again!): 2nd Semester (Don’t now his name either)

 

We simply hate this teacher, he just won’t allow us a damn mass bunk! And also he’s just too boring, he can make people sleep faster than a hypnotist..!!! But yeah, something about him is such that it can keep a man awake, if he just focuses…

 

 

 

The Highlight:

‘thish ish aaf eaa, thish ish aaf bee, aand thish ish aaf cee, ye gyaat kar lena’

Simply hilarious the way he says ‘ye gyaat kar lenge’ after whatever he wants us to remember, and his ‘bass voice’ just makes it more funny, as they say ‘it becomes funnier when you stare’ here it is ‘it becomes funnier when you focus’…

3. Our Electrical Teacher: Mr. DC Meena

And here is the confused man who can make you forget whatever you’ve learned about the subject in less than an hour… Students are so annoyed and irritated by this teacher that some actually wrote a ‘letter’ to him requesting him to speak in ‘pure Hindi’.

 

 

 

 

The Highlight: 

‘gsfznhfuhavniu DC current jnaihiars nhv circuit arunymiuaefhvi answer, OKAY?’

Even the nerdiest nerd ofthe college, the one with the most brilliant mind on the planet comes into his class and sit for just 3-4 minutes hearing the words that are coming outta his mouth, he himselves would admit not a damn thing exists that could cross his mind in the class, yeah for sure except the ‘okay’ he says in the end, and the confused state of mind which can’t do nothing but nodding to it accepts the defeat…

 

 

Okay Here’s a quick joke… If your batch wants a mass bunk for DC Meena’s class and he won’t allow it, what would you do??? Don’t know??? Place a CAPACITOR on the door… Because a capacitor blocks DC, hahaha… Okay that was lame… so moving on…

 

4. Our English Teacher (School): Seema Malhotra Ma’am

(Also in the same category, Our English teacher 1st Sem, purely coincidential, eh?)

 

 

Partial as hell, and teaches as if inspiring students to go to a hibernation and never ever come back again… But yeah her style is something so common in teachers (and snakes too!).

And about the 1st sem english teacher, she was atleast nice and polite to students ( i meant sssstudents’), ignoring the fact attendance in her class was a difficult job to get. Leaving the phonetics part english was perhaps an interesting subject, atleast easier than all others…

Highlight:

‘you sssstupid sssswine, ssstop it!’

 

Well no comments on this one, ssssimply amazing fact that this is sssssooooo common among teachers…!!! And this also is enough to make you laugh for about the whole lecture if you keep thinking about random things related to ‘how in the blue hell is this accent alike to a snake i just saw in the National Zoo???’

 

5. Last but not the Least, Our ‘Desi Girl’: The Environmental Teacher, 2nd Semester

Environmental engineering is perhaps the easiest subject in all of the 1st eyar, simply because everything in it is something we have done before in our school time, rest is all cramming, child’s play for DCE students!

And about the teacher, well her way of teaching always brings a smile to all faces, because her style is pretty different from other female teachers. Simply because of the fact that her voice is simply what the rest of the world portrays when they think of an ‘Indian’ speaking english… Thousands of emphasises in a single sentence

 

 

 

 

Highlight:

‘toh ye ecosystem hai jisme plants jo hain woh producers aur animals comsumers, etc.’

Her voice just sounds like someone who’s like, totally restless, though tension free; and a ‘Desi Girl in the Bidesi Casteum’…

 

 

 

Well, that’s all folks! That’s all I’ve got, you may share your experiences too…

 

 

 

/p

‘Whoaa!!! look, here’s an X, the treasure must be here, DIG IN!!!’… Well the DTU Treasure hunt was umm, different…

 

 

DTU Student Association presenting a platform to showcase yoor ‘pirate’ talents, well, the ‘Treasure Hunt’ showcased the hidden talents of our warriors, no trust on each other, its every team for itselves… A total of 12 teams, fighting for a prize of Rs. 1000 which is enough for a grand party for 20 at our mechanical canteen, who’s gonna get hold of it? Who’ll be the winner? We were about to find out…

So it turned out, that in our batch team they lacked one member because one of them just had to go for some urgent work, and asking them to have me in the team paid off, it turned out i became the 5th member of the team, yay! I was damn excited, so were others in my team… We were just about to start the hunt for the ‘treasure’… Well, adventure awaits…!!!

So reaching the Open Air Theater, we saw a total of like 12 teams, all ready and prepared for the EPIC battle to be started in just a minute later, and one of the organizers explained us the instructions:

1. There are a total of 10 clues

2. Each clue will lead us to the next place we are to go to and also the clue to the ‘Master Key’ which would let us to the final place where the ‘treasure’ is.

3. Cheating is prohibited and blah blah blah…

So after all the instructions were explained, we got our first clue…

1st Clue: On this place you can’t say where the wind comes from and where it goes…

Easy one, The ‘Wind Point’ was the answer, and everybody ran to the spot… And there we got our second clue, and also a clue to the master key (My team didn’t get that, I’ll tell about that later), and then we got our 2nd clue…

2nd Clue: Some equation of a circle, solving it for a point (-5,5) would quench our hunger…

 

From the last part it was clear that it was a canteen, but we couldn’t find out which one, and after seeing some people headed to a canteen named ‘MicMac’, we got our answer, so we ran again… And after reaching, the 3rd clue waited for us…

3rd Clue: Which two words contain the most letters?

This clue, for some teams became the toughest one to crack, and even our team was dumbstruck for some time… For a minute or two, we thought about places that contained the most letters in alphabet. Administrative block? Mechanical Canteen? What could it be???’ But then one of our team members discovered the brain teaser hidden inside the clue, and the answer was right in front of us… Post Office!!! The two words that contain most letters, such questions after being solved are badly regretted… Why couldn’t we get this in the first place? Anyways, we were happy to be the first ones to figure this one out… So we went to the post office, behind us were a team with a bike, which i felt was a really unfair advantage on thier part, as bikes were allowed in the campus and we had none, we couldn’t just run all the time… So it was difficult to be the fastest ones in the race… Anyways, two fastest people in our team, headed on to the post office from where we got our 4th…

4th Clue: The evening sky looks so beautiful from this plase, PS It doesn’t get any wetter even if it rains… 

 

The answer was just too easy, the lake… And after reaching there we got our 5th…

 

5th Clue: 5 Images, first letter of representative of each one and combining take you to the next place…

 

After solving the above, the answer came to be the ‘Temple’, and we were just too tired to run, so we gave it a 2 min break. And then we saw the bikers getting to the lead… And that lid some kind of a fire which made us run again and reach the place, but till we had reach the place 2 teams already had got their 6th clue and flew away like light to the next place, we were kinda disappointed… Anyhow we went on to get our 6th clue from the temple, which turned out as…

 

 

 

6th Clue: The Nobel Prize winner who just gave a speech in our college was from what department?

This was a tough one, who remembers the people who visit the college for a stupid speech? But anyhow, im not sure whether my unconscious mind or my instinct, but one of them said it was Biotechnology… So I along with my fellow teammate ran to the department, and it was quite confusing area so we just couldn’t find anyone and we dropped the idea that it was Biotech. .. My friend suggested it was ECE, and a teammate said it was the physics department… So we divided ourselves into different groups and ran to both of them… After finding out nothing out of both we came to know that none of the teams could find out what the answer was… So the senior told it was Biotechnology. I was really shocked and depressed too, depressed because my instinct was right and we just couldn’t find the damn person from the organizing team of the treasure hunt, but finally we ran like hell to reach the 3rd floor where every other team member were finding their way to the next clue, and finally we found our man, who gave us the next clue…

 

7th Clue: Some kind of a ‘code’ which lead us to the next place

3DD5-3DB2-*something*-*something*

 

 

The most difficult clue in the game… No team could figure this out, and got stuck for like 5 minutes… We sat down and rested for a while, this clue was a bit difficult to crack… It was clear that there were 4 letters to find out, and it was also given that a=15690, so hit and trial could be an option to find out what it wanted to say… The first guess was the college GATE, which we thought we would give a shot later, because we were too tired and were not even sure about it, then every try just failed… Elec C, Mech C, these guesses just couldn’t fit in… But in the end, one guy just came out with the fact that all four codes were hexadecimal, so we calculated the number and BINGO!!! Using a=15690, the letters came out to be GATE… And it was the GATE!!! But this time instead of running we decided to take it easy and just walk to the gate… And after reaching there we saw that we were 4th till now and just 2 clues were left…
8th Clue: When your mind is on a roll you come here and set up your goals…

So my teammate figured out the answer is library… And it seemed quite obvious as the mind is on a roll everytime we think of studies, and goals are indeed set up after we read books related to the topics we came to research for… But after reaching the library and finding out that there was no one there, we thought again about the clue, looked like 5-6 times onto that, and then a team-mate shouted ‘Roll Shop!’ I was like, Wow! why didn’t we think of this in the first place… Mind is on a ‘roll’, and ‘goal’ (hindi for ’round’), clever, indeed…

9th Clue: Collect 5 things (An eraser, an empty pen refill, straw, newspaper, bill), and come to this place- 13,5,3,8,3 

And we were yet again on the top position…!!! We collected all 5 things and collected our last master key clue…

So here we were, trying to figure out the Master Key Code, which we were confusing wiht ‘The beginning is in the end’, ‘Master card is in the beginning’, or else ‘Master card is in the End’, after trying the 3rd one, we could see a code, 13-1-J-11, so we tried to figure this out, checked all clues but found nothing. For ‘The Master key is in the beginning’ part, we checked wind tunnel (From where we began) but got nothing, and for ‘The Beginning is in the end’ part, we figured out the 3rd clue was a circle, so we ran to MicMac, and got nothing… We tried a whole lot on figuring out what it could be, until it was too late…

The teams passed by us, telling us that one has won the game. Well, shocked and disappointed, still trying to keep the game spirit alive we got in to congratulate them… And after that we asked how did they crack the last one…

And they said “Easy, z=4, and on the back of the master key there was ’13-1-J-11′ Which Gives IW15F, A room in the end of science block, ‘The beginning is in the end’ fame…”

What! Where the hell did the z=4 come from man??? “They gave it during the first clue, the ‘beginning’, ” a team member said. And then we realized that  there was a big mistake that we weren’t given the z=4 card… There were we..!!! Bad luck had completely screwed us, we could have won easily… But still, we gave it our best shot… And that’s what matters when you’re playing a game… It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose, its just a confidence build-up, it’s ALWAYS about what you learn from the competition… And, well we learnt that the game can always turn tables by one mistake… ONE mistake… And it is an essential lesson for all people around… Always pay attention to everything around, cause one mistake my friend can screw you up…

Though it was indeed an awesome experience. We discovered many hidden talents in us, let it be creativity, sharp mindedness or ability to run too fast (haha), the fact of the matter is… That we tried, as a team we did our best… And THAT’S what matters… the most…

Professor Bhuvnesh Goswami on the trip to their home country, India, for the occassion of the Alumni meet in their Alma-Mater D.C.E. (Delhi College Of Engineering) sings a song for us all on the occassion of the Global Alumni Conclave.

The song is from a Raj Kapoor movie released long ago. But the fact of the matter is that Professor is 75 right now and his voice is still so beautiful. *respect*…
