The Brain Trail

Yeah yeah, I know its been pretty long since I set fingers on to my keyboard to be directed towards this blog of mine. But considering the fact that I'm in my third year now (which, my dear friends, is no where close to being busy, its actually Lt n->infinity {(very)^n} busy )
Okay, stopping the gibberish, the reason why I was reminded of my blog today was because I just returned from my C slot end semester exam ergo Ocean Wave Hydrodynamics. There cant be a better prof-subject combination that this. The prof is a great guy, i mean literally great and that leads to the subject being even better.
So, our man, in the last class before the 2nd Quiz says "Students, the quiz paper is tough, so please apply your brains and solve it. Once you get the hint, you'll be done with it in no time!" So, before the quiz day I fully brainstormed myself with a dish of arguments, counter arguments, peppered with extra thinking and finally a garnishing of "what if...!!"
Early morning, 8 o clock exam, and the prof hands me over the paper. The beauty of this subject is that the prof gives only one question to solve in one hour and three questions in three hours (ok, that was a redundant statement). Nevertheless, I happily start thriting and wrinking (thinking+writing). After 20 minutes into the paper, like a sudden flash of lightining, a concept strikes me. And it strikes me so hard that I almost jump up from my chair. And with a kilometer wide smile on my face, I complete my paper.
50 minutes down the line, everybody comes out of the exam hall. Like always I start discussing the answers and then suddenly figure out that what I did was way too extra for the problem. Conclusion: I followed exactly what the prof had said, and that too in an intensified manner, APPLIED BRAINS!
Anyways, I was hoping that I'd score less than 50% in that exam, but the prof, as i had mentioned earlier, is a great guy. So I end up scoring 85% and am truly happy.
And this whole story means something - I just gave the proof of something that people say very often: HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF!

Please pray for me!
