My time at Air University (3)

( ...........Good times turn Bad............... )

I got a satisfactory result in technically my first semester and felt very confident now thinking that things have finally turned my way, but I was totally wrong and that was one of the worst mistakes I had ever made. This was the summer semester and my second. I had to take the three main courses so I could get back to the normal course schedule. The semester started and I was very confident. I was assuming it to be as easy as the previous one and forgot that I had to study.


Dr. B.A.Saleemi is a top mathematician of the world and his way of teaching was not very easy to understand. I still remember the day when he made me stand up and asked “What’s the difference between a cow and a chair?! “ I was totally shocked hearing such a strange question and when I could not reply and in the hot and humid weather wiped my forehead, he said “Hmm when you don’t answer, you always wipe your forehead”. This was kind of embarrassing actually. He used to teach high class and all of the class actually was never interested in the lecture including me, and I had to pay the cost later.



Electric Circuit Analysis was the course that was much talked about by the students of my batch. The strictness of Sir Nauman Naseer was very famous and this was going to be my first experience with him. Complete silence in the class, assignments that had to be submitted within two hours after it were given, tough quizzes, no one to be allowed to enter the class if they are even a second late. That by the way was the second and last instant when a teacher made students follow its rules after Sir Khurram Javed in the first semester for my batch.  It sure was tough, My health was going down and I lost my confidence in ECA totally. I did not even try knowing that I will fail! But I must admit I had very good experience with Sir Nauman later in the semesters as he taught us the most courses up till now.

Statics was easy and Sir Liaqat taught well, he always did. Starting from the basics and taking you to the higher level gradually, there was no fear during his lectures and that made things really easy, Oh and you never got bored as well. He knew about everything, talked about everything. All the ingredients collectively I never got less than B+ in his subjects (will talk about the teachers in detail later) I was sure I will pass this subject with a good grade.


Then the worst times started, one day I had this severe pain in my left body and I could barely even talk. I did not want to tell anyone at home about my condition as they were already upset with what had happened in first semester with me. I tried my best to attend the lectures, I tried my best to stay active but that did not happened. I could barely even see the white board sometimes, the teachers were strict, It was summer time and the suffocation during the lectures increased the pain most of the times (I was never able to attend the labs because of the same reason (only Dr Tasneem Shah knew about it) But the misery had to end, I called home and told my parents that I was not able to study or concentrate on anything, they visited me at the weekend and thanks to my room mate, came to know what the actual problem was. We decided to freeze the semester.

This perhaps started the worst period ever! We applied to freeze this current semester the application was considered and accepted by the then head of department Dr Shaiq. We did the basic regulations, I was interviewed and the medical certificate was provided and I went back to Multan. I was admitted, medicated, got a little better and was on a rehab when one day our coordinator called and told that I was dismissed from the university!!! She told that my application was rejected and I have been awarded F grades in all the three subjects because summer is already an optional semester. I had never seen my parents so upset and furious about anything ever! My mother called back and got a really rude response from the coordinator..They decided that I quit Air University.

I never wanted that especially when I chose it from the eight options I had. Air University has a feeling of Lasalle and that's what I loved about it. I convinced them to come with me to Islamabad and solve the problem. We came here at the start of the next semester and got a cold shouldered response from almost everyone. The registrar listened to our complain and thought that we surely had a valid reason as I left the semester only after I was awarded the leave from the university. When we went to the higher authority, instead of listening to me I was told " If you ever think about filing a case against us you will lose it " ... The HOD was very kind with me, he listened to me, said that he will do anything possible for me to solve the issue as it was he who granted the leave. I still remember the time when he called to I don't know who and said " If this boy is not staying in the university, I'm going to resign. Don't I have any authority or does my post mean nothing?! " .. this I will never forget! :)

The registrar helped and assured us that he will recommend a strong case to the VC, he did and my grades were reverted back to "I" grades and I was allowed to join back. These few days took a lot out of me. I decided that I won't let something like this come anyway near me again, I have never feared in life after that and thankfully I was able to perform really well in the next semester and things were back on the track....

Good times in the next part!! :)

So thats how Life ends?!

OKAY! So too much happiness makes raafay vulnerable, or say happiness and raafay don't get along that well. You feel as everything is perfect, feeling that the bad things are turning good, the fortune turning on its way to good fortune and then this blow happenes and takes away everything. I don't know what more to write as I don't have any words on how I feel right now. Just that I write when I'm too happy or I'm at worst. Its the second case right now. What do I do?! Just wait and hope, hopelessly. I deserve better.




Now lets try to act normal.
Today was the first day of the new semester and thanks Allah I was able to register all the couses that I needed too, hopefully it goes well from here on. My result of the previous semester was pretty good thanks Allah and I got 3.7 SGPA! :)

Pakistan were able to beat Zimbabwe quite easily in the end, although the hosts fought really well and were able to dominate the game for the first couple of days. Playing three new fast bowlers in one test match was too much of a risk! Muhammad Hafeez proved himself he sure is the next contender for captaincy once Misbah steps down and I'm sure he will be the vice captain in the next series against Srilanka. I like the attitude of Aizaz Cheema and he should be utilized in the best possible way.


Eid was the best time I had in years, all family getting together in our village, I started playing cricket after such a long time and InshaAllah this will not stop now, Family dinner everything. I wanted to write long and long details but I don't feel like right now.


Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If you smileWith your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you'll just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just...
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...

I'm totally, completely, madly and fully in love with Vampire Diaries !! here is some thing worth watching and wasting your time for. All the characters just suit perect! ♥



The only funny thing I can recall was the call I got from China a couple of days back and the lady was talking in chinese and it was flying over and above my head! :D

I always wanted to write about this... The past three months were supposed to be my dullest time but thanks to some people and FN that I had the better of times. I have learnt alot from everyone, made new friends and true ones and ohh yeah implemented my 25 ways successfully! :D


I gotta go !! :) bbyeee !

Down Down Down!



Grüß Gott Friends!
Why don't I write about me? Hmm well I don't feel like writing anymore.. I feel really down!

First things First: I have studied many many books in my life.. Famous...Written by great writers... Thoughtful ... Thrillers .. Knowledgeable.. Interesting. A few days back I tried the translation of Holy Quran and let me tell you its easily the Best script .. Most Knowledgeable .. Interesting.. Thoughtful book I have EVER read!! That too, written by the Bestest and the greatest writer, the creator of the World! I should curse myself for never ever reading that even though I badly wanted to do so!



(He is) the Lord of the two easts (places of sunrise during early summer and early winter) and the Lord of the two wests (places of sunset during early summer and early winter). He has let loosed the two seas (the salt water and the sweet) meeting together. Between them is a barrier which none of them can transgress. Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns and men) deny?

I miss home and I'm missing it badly. Its been a month now since I last visited which may not seem a lengthy time but the reality is that staying alone makes life difficult. I find it difficult to concentrate on anything.

When I talk about studies, they also are going no where. Past year and a half has been very good for me study-wise. First thought is perhaps I've become over confident and the second and the scariest thought is that I can't study anymore now.

I can't study anymore now?!


This might relate to my health which is going down day by day. I will not go into the details. But obviously thats a naive reason for not studying :D I have my exams coming up and I haven't been able to study, although all the time I'm trying to solve the numerical but nothing is sticking in my mind. One month is my limit...thats when my mind stops working, and I have to go home but the time span is too short and I cannot take any risk.

The new Future tour Program looks fine for Pakistan and If they are able to revive the series against the arch rivals India, it might turn out to be healthy 8-9 years for the future.

I got my first writing payment a couple of weeks ago and I'm happy about it. I also have a couple of more offers to write professionally but don't know why I'm lazy about it. May be I don't want to write keeping money in mind.
Tschüss ... Hope to see you soon! :)

Project Demonstration

Computer Lab 3, A-block, Air University Islamabad. (17-06-2011)

Finally I can relax :)) YAYYYY!

There was no hope of any success until today in the morning. We had already decided what will be our plan of action to complete the project in working condition. But I'm 100% sure that it were the prayers of our parents and loved ones that produced  this miracle.

The part that was compulsory for us to present was the tracking of the parabolic dish, and our LDR sensors were not at all reacting to the intensity of light.

See this for a change... Our project only worked when a demonstrator came towards our project!!! And that happened 4 times, not once!!! (Usually its the opposite xD)

We actually boiled rice for an experiment and they were tasty according to the faculty xD The response of everyone was very good and most of the people liked our project.
Btw, there were some amazing projects out there this time whose photos I will upload asap ..

I saw two people sitting in the cafeteria who ordered Milk Shake. While the order was served one of them was away. The second person sitting quickly sipped one of the glass and exchanged it for the other to drink!! :DD

Final Presentation

Currently I'm sitting at the top roof of B-block at Air university Islamabad, sorting out our FYP and its mighty hot, around 50 degree celcius according to our Digital Multimeter.

The Final Presentation was a disaster.. Yes, Well almost!

Our project was Dual axis tracking of a Parabolic Dish, Solar Power Plant using a stirling Engine to Produce electricity.

We had prepared the presentation well enough and our Advisor also approved the presentation that we had prepared, in fact he himself edited the power point for the measurements taken. But as is the case, when we presented it on the rostrum we were lost for words.

It wasn't that we did not know anything, we did. But the internal politics of the administration resulted in our punishment. There were as usual two groups of staff, both trying to let the others and their groups down.

Although we were presenting it correctly but they let our presentation all get mixed up. We did not get in any kind of rhythm at all. It was all left to the demo that we have to present tomorrow, and show the solar dish tracking the sun automatically, but the bad news is that the dish is not working at all.

The consequences.... Delay in the awarding of grade, time extension for the project deadline.

My time at Air University (2)


I was dismissed from the University!! My dreams were shattered, and I was broken.

There were about 20-30 students who were dismissed from the University. I was in Multan when I saw my result, and my SGPA was Just 1.01. Having a GPA above one and below 1.75 meant that I was dismissed from the University but would be allowed to rejoin after a year’s gap. I couldn’t tell anyone about what had happened, my parents only knew that I had a bad result and advised me to study harder. I went back to Islamabad and locked myself in my Hostel’s room praying to God that a miracle happen, and so it did. Some how or the other my parents acme to know from the university that I have been dismissed and they, consoling me asked me to come back and prepare for the next year. I was about to leave that night, when in the evening I received a call from my mother telling me that I, along with other students have been allowed to rejoin the current semester. It was to be our first semester again and we would finish our second semester in the next two summer semesters.

This was not the start of good times but perhaps it was first of the many miracles that had to take place during my University life. I would like to thanks Dr. Tasneem Shah, who according to my knowledge was the real force behind this decision. We started the semester in January, late than the others. We were around 25 students who were in the same class but from different departments. The subjects were the same, Calculus was with Dr. Tasneem Shah, Physics was taught by Mam’ Saima Zaman, C++ by Mam’ Uzma, Workshop Technology’s teachers were the same, whereas Communication Skills was taught by Sir Rashid.



This was the only semester where all my concentration in life was on studies, I did not have any other thought in my mind, I did not have any other distractions, all my concentration was on studies.
Dr Tasneem Shah was very kind to us and whenever we had any sort of problem we talked to him, He was in fact our class advisor. He taught us really well and also introduced us to Mat lab software in the very first semester. He taught us calculus and made this subject very easy for us due to his way of teaching. It was the most interesting subject of the semester for me and we never missed a class.

We as a group of three, Sheraz Ahmad Abbasi, Tehseen Baqir Khan, and me were very strong alliance in that class as we worked very hard together, making notes and visiting professors for solutions. I was a very active student in all of the subjects actually. Workshop technology was a mere formality for me as Sir thought I was a really good student, believe me that Sir marked us for the final by just watching our faces and marking our grades. C++ was easy in the first half but gradually failed away.  Our madam was not at all serious to teach us and was mostly busy on the telephone. I had the top marks in the Mid term exams but after the mid term I understood nothing of this subject and fortunately for me, I requested for an I grade just on time. 

Physics was going smoothly as well and Madam Saima Zaman was also very lenient. That was the most relaxing lecture of all as we had the measure of Madam even in the regular semester. As we had also studied from Madam in the previous semester that was the reason we did not have any problem with her, UNTIL Dr. Abdulla Sadiq came along from no where. He took over as our senior professor of physics and madam was sidelined. His way of teaching was way too high class. We did not understand anything of his and Icing on the cake was that he asked us to give a viva worth 20% marks of the final. No one was able to pass that viva and we knew that trouble was near. Each one of us tried very best to get rid of him one way or the other but failed.  I just had 17 internal marks out of 55 and it took another miracle to pass that. I dropped C++ just because I did not want to fail in physics. Madam was very supportive once again and assured us that she will try her best to give us as many marks as possible. I did pass the paper, although atone stage I was sure that I will fail.

‘Communication skills’ was my favorite subject of the semester. It had always been my favorite as this was the subject due to which I am currently in this University. I got an A grade in this subject and that’s why my GAP was above one. Things were not different even this time as I got the same grade in this subject.

I had some memorable moments this semester. Of course rejoining was one of them, and then the result of Midterm exams was another but the better one was the sports week. It was the first time a sports week was held in our university. It was a five day event and I stayed here for only the first two days. Initially it was very boring as we were bound to the university premises by the authority and we re not allowed to leave the university for the full day. But then without any planning we started doing something that lit up the event all together.

There was a Meena Bazaar to be held in the IAA Lawns and on the first day not many stalls were active. We (Tehseen Baqir, RaafayAshraf, Nauman Khalid, Raheel Abbas, Sami Ur Rehman and a few others) went inside an empty stall and started shouting. There was just a single fan placed there and we sat down and initially did loads of stupid things. Later on as the crowd gathered at the place we thought we could enjoy a lot more than what we already were. We made that stall our own by giving it a name of ‘Come and Shout, get your frustration out.’ Many people including the staff and professors came to our stall and shouted, we also had soothers as a gift for anyone who was willing to shout. We also decorated our stall by empty bottles, rubbish and stolen goods from the girl’s stall next to ours. When in the evening the actual stall holders came (They were the famous KFC) they enjoyed with us a lot as well and also took photos of ours. It was perhaps the most enjoyable time I had in my University life.  

One other Incident that was interesting was with our current Mathematics HOD, Dr. Tasneem Shah. Due to my Ill health he had advised me that whenever I find uncomfortable and am not fit to take the class I should just tell him. One say when I was not willing to take the class I went to his office and told him that I have to go to the hospital for checkup so I cannot take the class. He was wise enough so he started inquiring me. He asked which hospital I have to go, I did not know any hospital name and told him that it’s some hospital in Rawalpindi and my fathers’ friend is the doctor. He asked the doctor’s name which I could not tell as well. Then he asked for my father’s phone number which I told him that my father does not have any cell phone. I was getting tenser when he asked my mother s phone number which I had to give. He also took me to HOD but instead of making me the culprit he told him about my health and that I need to go back home so he asked the HOD to call my mother and tell him, which thankfully the HOD never did.

What happened next, will tell you in part III.

End of Time.

More about me? Its not that nothing has happening in my life, there has been a lot of things happening but the load of the happenings is such that It does not allow me to write that frequently. Moreover, the blogger blog is having some trouble. Ever since the fallout my blogs' dashboard is not opening and the template designer is also having some problem. I hope things get well soon with the blog as I have put a lot of hard work in it.

My studies have been really tough over the past week or two. Presentations, Quizzes, Assignments, Reports,Viva everything has scattered together. I had to make the technical writing's report three times just because madam did not accept. I also had to spend around five days to make a report on Pak-China relations and although it was interesting the timing and the load was just too much for me to handle.

I have also been feeling sad because one of my cousins passed away a couple of weeks ago and that has really hurt me.

Yesterday was my last class of bachelors degree. Technically It was Last day of my BEMTS!! It has been a tough journey (For me It'll stay a little longer) and one that has made me even stronger. I'll cherish every moment good or bad, I'll miss each and everyone of my classmate Friends or not, I'll learn from everything high or low =)

My time at Air University (1)

It was a day that I will remember throughout my life. I'm already starting to miss my days at Air University. Although I had a real tough time here and things were so difficult but I'll put it to this very University who gave me the courage to stand up to the tough moments and cross the hurdles. It also gave me the knowledge and confidence, my happy and sad moments, my proud and best days to me.
I had always wanted to be a part of Air university, amazed? Its true because of two reasons. First, that my parents always wanted me to do my bachelors in Mechatronics. Although they only had heard the name of this engineering and were not at all familiar with what it is all about. Secondly, two of my elder cousins were already studying at this institute. I still remember the day when I got admission at Air University. It was July 25, 2007. Initially when I had seen the result on the Internet it was "sorry, you could not qualify" but somehow I received the letter informing me that I have been selected.

Beautiful view of Air University

I passed the admission test for six or seven universities but chose Air University in the end , a decision that I will always be proud of. My first official day at the University was Monday September 3, 2007. I had reached Islamabad on the 29th of August and when the bus drove through the mountains of the capital I knew that my life had changed. I was never a brave enough person, I had never been to any other place alone but things were going to change now. Judging my past that I'm always low on confidence but that day,somehow or the other I was really excited and pumped up for the first day of my university life.
Nauman Khalid: The Life of BEMTS

My first semester brought me the best and the worst time of my life for me, good in the sense that I gained a lot of confidence over that period both in the class and overall living my life alone in Islamabad. I enjoyed alot being in the class BEMTS 1C with all the class gelled together and lots of fun during the University time. I did not study much in this semester but was very active. The first half went fine but the later period of my semester was perhaps the worst time of my life so far, and its consequences I'm dealing with even now. My health got worse and I had to go back to Multan for a week or so. Before going I had checked my attendance and It was all above 90% but when I came back after my checkup I was amazed to see that in almost three subjects my attendance was around 50% and there was no chance for it to reach 75% which was the minimum requirement. Thanks to the Coordinator who displayed the wrong attendance before I went to Multan.

Anyways, I remember that when I first reached the hostel where I had to stay and my first night there when the seniors took me to their room for ragging and I was made to speak everything in Urdu but I made many mistakes and had to pay the fine of 700 rupees. My next ragging was by my room mate and It was a good one when he brought loads of things and made me to eat and drink them and I did that gladly.Change person in the university, but in the hostel I was still the quiet boy that I have always been tagged to be. My hostel name was The Boys Hostel and If not in the start, I had some of the best moments of my life in Islamabad there.

I was fortunate enough to get some really nice Professors at Air University and that is the one great speciality of Air University. The first ever class I attended here was of Computer Programming C++, and my teacher was Sir Khurram Javed who later turned out to be one of my all time favorite teachers. He was really strict about the rules he had set on the first day and never, not even once did he showed any flexibility and that was the thing I like about him the most. He was simple, efficient strict and yet nice, just like an extraordinary professor should be. He left the university next semester due to the internal politics of the University and that was really sad to know.

My Calculus I' professor was Dr Tasnim Shah and he really is a teacher worthy of respect, he helped me though the difficult times that were to come in the next few semesters and I shall always be thankful to him for everything he has done for me. My next Calculus in the same semester was Mr. Muhammad Ali (baja), the first day he came to our class we could stop laughing after hearing his voice but he later turned out to be my biggest enemy. No doubt he was an excellent teacher and he had to lose his job just because of what he did to me and I still don't feel good about it. Our Physics Mam' Saima and she was a very nice teacher who once again helped the rejoining student alot even though she was about to leave the University she was so easy to get along with.

I Still remember Nauman Khalid(Don) sitting at the last seat in the conference hall saying that I sit behind because I cannot see the White board from in front. Crossing the chairs just like a child who doesn't even know how to walk and Sheraz Ahmad Abbasi writing Poetry on the white board when Mam' was busy talking to other students. Our communication Skills Mam Nailla Riaz is favorite of each and every student who has studied under her. Workshop technology is by far the least favorite subject of every student of Mechatronics department. Ratta( Akram) is the enemy of all and friend of none,not even himself. Still remember when Umair Nawaz Malik was almost snapped by the lathe machine that enenthough Zeeshan Hussnain was the one who saved him, Ratta did nothing still he made himself a hero.

My first and Best frriend at Air University was Raheel Abbas and I really enjoyed his company in the first semester. At the end of the semester I was dismissed from the University and with me many other students, although my story at Air University continued after that there were some of them who left our class. Talha Bin Saeed, Yousaf Khan, Usman (Rocky) and Zeeshan Sajid (Arnold) were a few I remember.

While reading the novel in the evening I fell asleep and woke up at night to have dinner and then again slept :D

A Happy Day.

It was indeed a happy day. Pakistan won its first series after a gap of FOUR years and it was their first series win overseas after 7 years. Gone are the golden days when winning a series was just a formality. It was a well earned win though, with an inexperienced team, after lots of controversies, new captain, alien conditions, it was a hard work. At one stage it looked as if Pakistan will lose, at the end Pakistan could have easily won but Misbah, as he said at the post match conference, that winning the series was more important than the match. Its a big boost for Pakistan, lets see the ODI's..
My day started with the match. Later we watched a movie and went to Shangrilla Bar'be-cue for dinner.

Earth Quake..

Today I was able to offer prayer. But the light didnt permit me to watch the match so I switched the TV on with UPS. It was a tough day for Pakistan in the field who drop many chances and fielded poorly but it was Umar Gull's day who wrapped up the New zealand innings with late reverse swing, swinging the match slightly in Pakistan's favour. My day was fine, after watching the match Tamur and me played cricket for sometime. In the evening Hamza, tamur and me went to News Corner and I bought a few novels. At night I watched Pink Panther 2 and it was really funny. There was an earth quake later at night and it was horrifying.

Movie Day.

I woke up quiet early today but late enough that I couldn't offer prayer. I watched the match for an hour or so and sadly Younis Khan who was playing really well was given out caught at short leg by a strange decision from the umpire. At the end of the day it was even stevens.
Papa mama went to hospital, sis to college so me, hamza n tamur completed open season 2 n watched the 3rd part as well. The character elliot which was a dear was the best part of the movie and it was fun. Rest of the day was passed just resting and making plans. We again watched a movie in the evening. Later at night when papa was back we just sat near the heater and talked about different subjects. I slept early at around 10:20pm.

Cricket time.

The second day of the test match was mostly Pakistan's day and they batted really well except for the last ball at which Taufeeq Umar got out. Australia won the 1st ODI in thrilling fashion.
My day went really good mostly. Woke up early and watched the Cricket match and had 'Aalu k parathay' for breakfast. Then sat in the sun and enjoyed sunlight reading novel. Later we went to meet our cousins and enjoyed alot with my 'four angels'. Papa had lost his cellphone during Hajj so we searched and bought a new one for him and then came back home. Hamza, Me and Tamur played cricket in the evening with me scoring my first run in the 3rd match. Was totally out of touch but managed to score a 50 later :D I bowled really well especially the visious turning delivery at which hamza was clean bowled. Later we watched movies and then after dinner I went to sleep.

The Series of Unfortunate events Continue.. :D

The bus was half empty on my way to Multan. But still I cudnt sleep because the weather was so beautiful and while crossing the mountains it was raining. Crossing that it was all fog so we reached the terminal as late as 00:30 in the morning. Papa and Tamur had to wait for 2 hours at the terminal. But it was nice to see papa coming to take us once again (No compensation with the Rickshaw drivers this time) :)
We reached home, had dinner. The match had to start at 3am in the morning so I had initially all the plans to stay awake as it was already 2 in the morning but thanks to load shedding I was forced to sleep. Although I woke up at 5am in the morning but sadly in was a lunch break during the match and I had to go back ko sleep again. New Zealand were 98/4 when I switched on the TV in the morning but load shedding again destroyed all the plans. Pakistan had a good day overall but New Zealand are fighting their way back I think and will score in the excess of 300.. Australia won the 2nd T20 after almost throwing it away. And India won a nail biter against South Africa.
My day was drowsy, I couldn't sleep well at night and because of that had headache all day. Got a hair cut as well.. Slept in the evening again and went hoteling at night with family and enjoyed alot. Watched 'Open season 1' (1st of my 50 downloads) and it was fun! Im feeling relax after such a long time ( btw, had a kind of fight with someone special) ppl change don they?!

How did the exams go..

Well lets start with the first paper. The subject was such that no one was able to understand anything about it all these four months. The last day of classes was on tuesday and the first paper was on thursday so there wasn't much time to prepare. Although i tried my best and revised and solved again and again yet still I wasn't able to do well. The second paper was always going to be unexpected as the past experiences tell and thats what exactly happened. The paper was a half disaster, but the Sir is good enough to grade us. The result of this subject was displayed just after 5 days of paper, now thats what u call true speed.
The third paper was well a cheat. The subject teacher did not feed us that advance as was the paper. It was high and wide above everyone and I bet if Sir was himself given such a paper he would'nt have been able to solve it. My fourth paper was, well supposed to be a cake walk but my asusual blunder might ruin it. But overall it went fine.
The fifth paper was a real butter. It was expected, we had the previous year paper and thats what was going to come, and with a few changes thats what it came. Even our supervisor said that 'Now start solving it as I know u people have learn it by heart, because thats what we did. '
My next and the worst part was my last paper. It was easily the most under studied subject and after all this burden of going through exams my limit to study was finished. The second last paper was in the evening and this was early morning next day. So there was no time to prepare. The course was too much. But what I think I have done fine with this, atleast hopefully I might not fail. HOPEFULLY!!!

Something was VERY wrong!

Breaking News: Atlast I'm done with my final exams..
Right now I'm sitting in the bus going back home to Multan. The papers did not start well and ended on a sedate note. I wasn't thinking that I would have such a difficult time during the finals because my preparation was ok if not good. At the same time I wasn't feeling the same space I have during the exams. It was cold no doubt and it was difficult to study, I was sick and that could be a reason, there were seven papers to give that could be an excuse, but the real problem I think was a supernatural one. When ever I tried writing I could not. When ever I tried to memorize something I could not. Whenever I tried concentrating something distracted me. And strangely enough mostly when I wrote the pen stopped writing. I took 4 ball pens to the examination hall yet everyday I had to buy new ones as they stopped writing. Well but still the exams went Ok! Not what I had anticipated but still seeing the circumstances better than what it could have been..
