The Blogs of a true Gemini.
"Up to a point a man's life is shaped by environment, heredity, and movements and changes in the world about him. Then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be. Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune, or the quirks of fate. Everyone has it within his power to say, 'This I am today, that I will be tomorrow' " - Louis L'Amour

A Gemini and a twin, hence the site's name, twin-gemini. An interesting thing is, the Zodiac sign Gemini, itself is the sign of twins. {Born in Madras, India.} {Schooling at Hindu Sr. Secondary School, Triplicane, Madras and then at Adyar, Madras.} {Sri Venkateswara Engg.

When I was in 7th I had two poems for a Hindi exam. There used to be a either-or choice. Unfortunately this paper was set by a different hindi teacher and they asked the poem which I did not study. You know what I did. Sample 1.
I wrote the first four lines at end of the paper and the same four lines in the next side of the paper and got marks for it :)
probably if i am asked to take up an exam (any exam..), i wd also be writing like this... i just luv the maths paper, esp. the answer. :))
Hahaha...
I strongly believe there should be funny answers than these, in the real World !!!
Hehehehe! The drawing in the Math paper describes exactly how I felt during my Math exams :( I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate exams bohooohoooo!
On second thoughts... I better take some tips from the guy, may come in handy in my forthcoming exams:D
Me walks away cheerfully~~~
Came across your blog today, me too passed out of SVCE, EEE 1999 batch. Still not able to put a face to your name, sincere apologies for that.
My blog:
Mail id: kb.venkat@gmail.com
will definitely keep in touch
Very funny.
Remembers me of my neighbors paper from whom i was trying to copy in my board exam... :)))
thats hilarious man. he even got half a point on one of those questions :)
That last Math paper one was for sure not by a desi, the paper is a typical one that american UG's use (from my TA experience :-) )
Hey Anand,
Have you seen pics of a similar Chemistry paper?
Sample from it...

Ha ha..got this forward long ago...i have successfully used me's technique many times in college exams...capitalising on the short-term memory of inviligator...a very god technique indeed..
Me--to-->Me: Pretty cool way to pass exams :-)
Me--to-->Chakra: Yeah, either someone just had too much time in their hands and a lot of creativity in their head or maybe this was indeed someone's real exam paper.
Me--to-->Krish: Surely. The recommendation letters that we had to write for getting admits to MS would be far more funnier :-)
Me--to-->Sangeeta: Exams are a total bore. In fact we used to have study holidays before the exams (during our university) and thats when most of the people used to touch the books. Since you are a teacher, I am sure you would come across many such instaces :-)
Me--to-->Anonymous: Check your email.
Me--to-->Kay: Kay, thanks for coming over. Seems like everybody has a story to tell when it comes to exams :-)
Me--to-->Saranyan: That's a classic example. They usually swap the teachers between different subjects and still have them correct these papers.
Me--to-->Surya: That could be true, but what if he had an elder brother or sister here in the US who regularly takes home these books :-)
Me--to-->Praveen: If you have some of it, please post it on your blog or send it to my email.
Me--to-->Anbu: Yeah, these are time-tested techniques against tired and weary paper "correctors".
