Could not help but use this title. Sounds cliched as I have seen it on many orkut profiles as well as on yahoo but what the hell, who cares? Finally all of us from VTU are done with our BE, hopefully. Waiting for the results now, lets see what happens?
The project VIVA was blown to nightmarish proportions by some tension party's of our class including my project mate DD. We were all freaking out and seeing that our great KN Raja Rao, HOD, was the internal evaluater did not soothe our nerves. Our batch was supposed to start at 2 but it eventually started at 3 30. By then DD had almost shit his pants. I agree that I was also a bit shaken seeing DD. He is usually the cool cat kinds who is not tensed about any exams. But seeing him sweat for the Viva created a doubt in me too.
Finally at 3 30 we entered the lab. We had to write some shit for half an hour in our papers. we had discussed what all to write before we entered but eventually I realized I had nt written even half of it though i filled up 8 pages :P. So that should do. Next we had our PPT for which we had to wait until the previous batch finished theirs. Hod grilled them properly which increased our tension levels. Then our PPT started and I can safely say that it went smoother than what all three of us had expected. There was no hiccups, stammering or hesitation of any sort. I was a little tense when Hod asked me to explain an equation during the PPT but we had expected it and I think HOD was convinced by the reply. DD and Goof finished their parts without much ado.
We sat down for the viva after this, expecting that we would get properly grilled. But thankfully, HOD dint ask a single question. He just went thru the report and pointed out one amongst the zillions of mistakes we had made in it and after that nothing. He just asked us to show him the demo. I believe that the HOD could have
1) been just too bored of grilling ppl as we were the last batch for the day and so let us go.
2) dint understand a thing bcoz he does nt now much about antennas or signal processing, the premise of our project
3) thought that we had done a stupid project in which there was nothing much to ask anyways.
But whatever the reason we got away cheaply and I am pretty sure he will surely pass us, so all three of us were not too bothered about the marks he gave us.
So this is how my engineering ended, fortunately, rather uneventfully. Hope my MS would be a smooth sailing too. :P. too much too ask I guess.

I am shocked u r still doing nite outs :P...
anyways u r rite, we waited 7 and half hours only for HOD to ask what gain values and rcs values we had used in the proj... Thooooo that does not even sound like a viva ques!!!
Anyways no ones complaining... alls well that ends well :)
But alls not done yet.. we still have to prepare posters... Lets cut it out from some magazines like PBoy and give it off to ruku for poster session.. I am sure it will help breaking the monotony during the Seminars and sure it will attract largest crowd.. ;)
They have to pass you da. the dept's reputation is at stake. they'll pass you even if you slap the HOD. max they can do is give you less marks!! of which no one is bothered. ( except for a few specimens hehe)
DD tensing up and shitting on his pants was the best part of the blog!!
