We had to submit the completed observations for the 1st 6 expts in the thermal lab to Mr.JCV by tuesday.....
So I had spent almost all of my weekend writin the observation and record........
Then it was tuesday.......Time to rok........
So we went as a bunch to see him and get it corrected........
SARO went in first wid me standin near to him as we both belonged to the same batch.......
The first 3 expts were given a green light.......
The 4th one was the RETARDATION TEST ON SLOW SPEED DIESEL ENGINES.......
We had achieved a 18% efficiency from our calculations which according to me had a 0% accuracy.....Here goes the convo.......
JCV:"eppadi pa ungalukku mattum ivalo kammiya varudhu efficiency?Varaadhe...Graph enga pa......edunga paakalaam......."(HOW COME U GET SUCH A LOW EFFIECIENCY...IZ IMPOSSIBLE.....TAKE THE GRAPH OUT...LEMME SEE IT)
SAR:"sir idho iruku paarunga sir... ellaam correcta daan saar pannirukom....avalo daan sir vardhu......."(SIR HERE'S THE GRAPH...WE'VE DONE IT PERFECTLY....BUT EVEN THEN THATS ALL THE EFFICIENCY WE ARE GETTIN.........)
Yours truly comes into the scene now......
SAN:" Sir adhu illa sir avan vandhu readingsa vandhu maathi ezhuditaan sir.....
Adhanaale graph vera sir......."(SIR THATS NOT THE PROBLEM....HE'S WRITTEN THE WRONG READINGS SIR....SO GRAPHS DIFFERENT FROM MINE........)
JCV:"Appo un graph enga pa edu paakalaam unnodiyadhe...nee enna pannirukkenu paakalaam..."(OK TAKE UR GRAPH OUT...LEMME SEE WAT U'VE DONE....)
SAN:"Sir idho...chk pannikonga sir.........."(SIR HERE'S IT..U CAN CHK IT.....)
JCV:"Enga readings laam sollu paakalaam....."(TEMME THE READINGS..i SHALL CHK,,,,)
I TELL HIM THE READINGS ONE BY ONE......HE PLOTS THE GRAPH..........
USES HIS RED PEN AND DRAWS THE BALANCE LINE HIMSELF.....AND ASKS ME TO FINSH OFF THE CALCULATIONS........I OUTSMART HIM AND GET HIS INITIALS IN THE NEXT 2 EXPTS DONE......BUT NOW 3 CORRECTED IN SARO'S AND 2 IN MINE.......
SO WE FINISH OFF THE CALCULATION AND GO BAK FOR CORRECTION.......
HERE'S PART-II
JCV:"Mudichiteengala pa.......paarunga evalo diff .1 second ku.....graph enga???????"(HAVE U FINISHED....SEE HOW MUCH DIFF FOR .1SECONDS....WHERE'S THE GRAPH.?????)
SAN:"sir enna graph sir?????"(WHICH GRAPH SIR>????????)
JCV:"The FP & ETHA m GRAPH pa....."
SARO & I in cohesion:"SIR NOBODY"S DONE THAT GRAPH SIR>>>U CAN ASK ANYBODY SIR"
RMK cuts us off sayin that he had done it in his notebook........
He had jus gone and drawn it.......Always tend to pik some fite or the other wid him........
So we were forced to draw the graphs and then get it corrected.......
Well there was this graph for the MORSE test and I presumed they had to be joined using the scale......But it wasn't to be.......He cud have told me to draw it free-handedly.Instead he goes on and draws it wid his red pen right over my graph.......DUMBO......
And I finally managed to get the obse corrected..........By then 1hr30mins had whizzed past me....
And this guy comes for class and his pronunciation is horrible........
He says TUBE as TEBE.....Man aweful experiences.......
His favourite is INGA NEE GAVANIKALA NA EXAM LA SURE AH FAIL DAAN PA AAVE....IPPOVE SOLLITEN>......
(LOOK, IF U DONT LISTEN HERE IN CLASS, U'RE A SURE FAILURE IN THE EXAMS....AM TELLIN U RIGHT NOW...ALL ELSE LEFT TO U.......)
AND WAZZ MORE FRUSTRATIN IS HE MITE COME ANYTIME IN THE NEXT 2 YRS FOR HANDLING THE REFRIGERATION PAPER.......
GOD SAVE US.......SORRY HOD SAVE US...........
