Quiz
Today was the first quiz for this semester in Computer Communiation Network. Due to my other engagements, I couldn’t study a thing for the damn exam. So, when it was asked to write about the internet network protocols, I was basically trying to invent cool names which would sound similar to the actual once. But, you know what, inventing such names is not child’s play. The geeky engineers and the nerds, who actually created the internet and such names as ICMP, IGMP, ARQ, OSI, etc. made sure that students like me, – who bunk most of the classes and study the night before the exams,-face a tough time re-inventing them.
So, the quiz was basically a joke. The teacher probably will either laugh at me after seeing the paper or he will throw me out of the class the next time we meet. Same goes for most of my friends. Last night, instead of studying the actual LAN architecture, they were having a LAN party, where they fragged each-others butts in Counter Strike. Today morning, instead of revising or studying they were analyzing their Counter Strike exploits. I wish, I was that lucky. You know, staying at home sometimes makes me sick. I miss the late night addas (अड्डा) and the LAN parties. I miss the feeling which you get when you know that you have to study or do something important, but you keep telling yourself, “OK, this is the last game. After this I’ll study”, but the last game never comes.
I don’t know what life has in store for me, what other people I am going to meet in the coming years, but one thing is for sure, wherever I go, wherever life’s journey takes me, I will always miss my dear friends from NERIST.
