I hear similar conversations almost everyday in college... :|
I
Our class has two rows - boys row and girls row. We were sitting in the last bench in the girls row. A class was going on and the lec was turned towards the board. Meanwhile sounds from the boys side :
"Start"
"mmmmmm......"
"Stop"
"S"
Silence prevails for a few minutes.
"Scotland"
"Srinagar"
"Singapore"
"Shoe"
"Sand"
"Salt"
"Sheep"
"Snake"
"Shark"
"Sharon"
"Shah"
"Hey! Shah is not a name!"
"No no, it is!"
"No its a surname! Not a name!"
We," ??!!! "

Once on the bus, two ladies were engrossed in a serious conversation,
"School has become so difficult now-a-days.... Curriculum has changed so much that the student is forced to put in much more efforts!"
"Yes, so true... But these children just dont understand the importance of proper education... Low marks wont do.."
"Yes yes, even my daughter is not studying as much as she used to study last year... Last year she was the class topper and now look at her marks! "
"Same is the case with my daughter too... its mostly because of the distractions... We never had all this computers and TV and video games in our time, so we studied well... But now look!"
"Exactly! Even the competition has increased so much! With so much competition just 45 on 50 is highly inadequate!"
"You say about class marks, but in my case this girl doesn't bother to prepare even for her fancy dress competition! We used to be so enthusiastic about it when we were in 2nd std right? This generation is so spoilt..."
"Ya... Kalyug..!"
Well... You can guess my reaction!

It was 'GD and mock interview day' in our college. First was GD. Generally in a GD, the first person to speak gets the maximum points, for leadership qualities and all, it seems. A few sessions of 7 students in each were over. It was the 5th session or so. The topic given to them is 'Nanotechnology'. After the 1minute brainstorming, the lec signals the students to begin with the GD. X starts off with," Nanotechnology is a boon." Everybody stares at him. He stares back. After about 20 seconds of staring everybody understands that X only wanned to be the first person to speak, only to get the maximum points!

It was DC class and the lec was deriving something rigourously. In the last bench this guy was, as usual, not paying attention. This guy supposedly had an arrear in DS, and this particular lec hated such students. So this guy is in serious trouble. The lec gets really angry and starts screaming on top of her voice,
"You have no sense! I'm teaching such an important derivation, how dare you talk?! If you don't want to learn why takeup engg?? Go become a cowherd! But even that is a waste! You don't know even to mind cattle!"
This guy is already shivering.
"You have arrears right? I know you got arrears! how many subjects? 3? 4?"
"One, ma'am"
"Only one?! Which?!"
"DC! "
It took him a whole 4 seconds to realize why the whole class, including the dragon lady, were laughing!

Recently EVS has been included as a compulsory subject in Engineering. EVS hr had just got over. During the hour the topic was "The Atmosphere" and we had just now finished discussing the different layers of the atmosphere. Our benchmate was absent so we were only 2 in that bench that day. It was breaktime now so P came to talk to my friend.
"Hey A! I have a doubt... Why was the lec saying the layers are above the Earth?"
"Cuz it IS above the Earth..." o.O
"No i mean, are we in the Earth?"
"Well, technically we are ON the Earth...", A says with a smile.
"ON the Earth as in?"
"As in we are on it!"
"You mean we are like sticking out of it??"
"YES!!"
"Really??!!"
"Of course!"
"So that means birds and all fly outside of the earth??"
"Ya... But inside the atmosphere..."
"APPUDIYA???!!!"
"Ya!! What did you think??"
"I always thought the layers were also insde the earth so we were inside the earth!!"
Me,"!!!"

Mokkais in xerox shop...
S had gone to get some xeroxs where our classmate P was talking to a guy, X, from some other dept.
X,"Dei, will you pass in today's test?"
P,"No da, it was a very difficult paper... no chance of passing"
Suddenly he notices S's presence
P,"But you know X! There's a girl in my class named S. She studies so well that she's surely getting 75 on 75!"
After denying it for sometime, for fun, S fires back,"Hey P! Why are you saying just 75? I'm getting 78 on 75! Didn't you know?"
"Yes X, she's right! She uses "Apsara Pencils" so she's gettig extra marks for good handwriting!"

A certain class was going on and the lec taking this subject was particularly. Not to mention, she knew practically nothing. For example, she once said in class,"The ohm's law is V=I/R ". To this most students stared back utterly shocked and the rest(the ice potufying type!) tried to correct her saying,"Ma'am! Its V=IR !", to this her response was to make a 180 degrees turn towards the board and reaching there in one nanosecond, scribbling something on it inside,say, a 2x2 in. square for some 15 seconds while hiding it with her torso, rubbing it within a second, and after another 1nanosecond 180 degrees turn to face the class ,"Is it so? ..... Think...... Sure?..... Yes you are right. So you people are attentive in class."!!!
