Academic Hyper-Dimension

A few days back I was reading an article about the existence of Hyper-Dimension where the author asserted the existence of parallel universes. While I was going through it, the different logics that were involved to support the axioms seemed a bit eerie in their own theoretical proofs. Once I was finished with it, the thoughts of presence of a parallel Universe kept nagging me. Suddenly it ushered to me that infact I do have my own share of a parallel Universe; the stellar system comprising of the elite few backbenchers in the class.

Every class of every institution in this world always manage to spawn a breed of backbenchers. Guys with varied interests and dogged determination inhabit that special zone, envied by their peers and hated by the faculty. The reason for their existence range from taking a quick nap to messaging , reading all kind of materials other than text and all the discussions they can have in between. The activities sometimes shape into interesting pursuits of beautiful babes passing-by, limited by the very short range of the window-vision. At other times become a bit monotonous to watch with a blank expression, the creature facing us, trying to imbibe us with certainly incomprehensible academic knowledge. Though it might get a bit dull sometimes but definitely it's never boring in this part of the universe. Tell me, can you ever get bored of watching the fights between aspiring wrestling superstars??

I started off sitting at the the front of my PG class, but gradually with the passage of time, succeed in percolating to the elite few backbenchers. I'm proud to be an inhabitant of this distant planet in the limited Galaxy of our class, where the planets mostly manage to outshine the stars in garnering attention from the teachers. We people cocoon ourselves and make extra-terrestrial contacts with highly sophisticated and improvished hand gestures.All my comrades can be best described as unique species who have migrated from alien galaxies. Their characteristic traits can even put to shame the combined imagination needed for creating the ET's in all the SCI-FI movies. Though there's an amazing sense of camaraderie among us.

Those who have been part of this parallel Universe in their own times certainly relish the memories of the amazing galactic phenomenons that they experienced. For the rest of you lesser mortals, mark the words that you missed a hell lot of fun !!


PS: I HAVE IMMENSE RESPECT FOR MY TEACHERS AND I DON'T WANT TO DEMEAN THEIR STATURE IN ANY WAY THROUGH THIS POST..

Economics of Time

When one sits idly in the back-benches of class or just lying down with half-open eyes,one finds so many ideas to contemplate,logical solution to queer problems and to dream of utopian situations where one places thy to one's convenience. The mind meanders in the lush green grazing fields of varied thoughts and emotions in leisure. Drifting from one thread to another, the thoughts weave intricate patterns, complex yet pleasantly beautiful like that of a Persian carpet.

Sometimes it's really difficult to separate the philosophies from the lazy thoughts. Few days back one such thought crossed my mind,"Why I'm living on borrowed time??" Why it's like I never have enough time and the deadlines always seem to rush at speed of light. Is it so difficult to allocate time suiting one's pleasure and convenience?? May be, may be not !!

My procrastinating nature will be always adding compound interest rates to the borrowed loan of time slices. Still it's very difficult to resist this dangerous temptation of walking on the wrong side of the right time. The desire to cheat the deadlines of their penalties does help once in a while in getting a job done. Hope to learn the tricks of time management before I go bankrupt of opportunities.
