FIRST LECTURE OF TEACHER



The teacher closed himself in his chamber for a month to prepare for his first lecture. 
He  appeared in the class room. He was carrying Attendance Register,     chalk box and a duster, we had to consider him as a lecturer. When he started teaching, students requested him not to cover that topic because it belonged previous year’s syllabus. 
The teacher had prepared this topic and was not ready for  any change. He asked us to listen to his ‘well prepared’ discourse (any how); the students were not prepared to this unwanted lecture and therefore started making noise.
Some of the students closed the door and windows so that other classes are not disturbed.
Ultimately, teacher got the signal and requested students to keep quiet.Then he decided to start taking attendance at the middle of the period. On calling their name, the students stood up but kept silent, without uttering a word.


The teacher left the class and never returned to teach us in future.

अतिथि मन

रात का तीसरा पहर - अंधी हवा गुदगुदाने लगी है! शरीर कपड़ों को चाहने लगा है, ओस चुपचाप उतर रही है -मुंह दिखाई के लिए॰  मैदान भी ओस ओढ़ कर सो रहे हैं. और ब्रम्हचारी दिनों का तप निस्तेज होने वाला है ... यह लो! घूमने के दिन आगये - अतिथि दिन - मन कभी इधर, कभी उधर -  पता ही नहीं चलता कि कहाँ घूम आया है यह मन !

PRACTICAL PERFORMANCE


TRUTH OF ENGINEERING GENIUS

We were conducting experiment on performance of pumps,

 unfortunately results we got were just opposite of ideal 

performance. The figures were showing increasing trend 

with increase in inputs instead of lowering! 

We asked about this strange phenomeon, the teacher, 

without bothering about the performance of pump, advised us

how to show this on graph. “If we increase X-axis scale and

 reduce the scale of Y-axis, the results will look alright.”

This reminds me of one instance. We had one guest lecture

 and the guest appreciated the prepared item during lunch.

 the guest asked local chef, “How do you prepare scrambled

 eggs?” 

The lady accompanying the guest suggested, 

“Do you prepare it by vigorously shaking the egg after

 pouring it on the frying pan?”

The poor fellow without understanding anything said,

जैसे आपने अभी बताया वैसा ही करेंगे तो जो आप कह रहे थे वही चीज बन जाएगी”

GENIUS PROFESSOR



The professor was collecting Rs. 250 each from the students. He made 4 columns, distinguishing three digits for numbers and one column for name of student. He wrote the name of student in one column and amount paid in three columns; thus 2 I 5 I 0. On completion of the task, he started adding the total at the end. There were 72 students, he made some mistake and the total was not tallying with the amount collected. He was puzzled. 
One student observed this and offered help. The professor handed over the sheet to the student. The student multiplied the number of students and the money collected.

Entropy


Leaders (and teachers) must work on reducing unnecessary work. Those who undermine others and expect them to work hard and accomplish nothing, increase unproductive, unuseful work. ----“गधे हैं साले!”

INCREASING ENTROPY


ENGINEERING EXAMINATION

During practical examination External examiner asked, “What material is used for wattmeter base?”   
I kept silent.
He probed further, “You should know the answer, being from mechanical branch?”
 I said, “I know it is stainless steel but then you will ask ‘why stainless steel’, for which I have no answer.”
The examiner laughed and replied, 
“I too do not know why it is made of stainless steel!”

ENGINEERING LEARNING


ENGINEERING LEARNING

The Engineering teacher was giving example of U bolt, the students never saw such a bolt, explaining it in more detail the teacher said, “If you climb a telephone pole, you will see a bolt there; it is a U bolt.” 
The nearing examinations made students alert  in anticipation of the importance and a probable question appearing in examination.
The  next day all the students were seen climbing on telephone poles.
*
The professor was very hard working, he used to prepare notes by copying as it is from renowned author’s book. He never dictated from his notes directly. He will write on black board from his notes (This action was good to keep all persons engaged during the class and was enough to pass the time easily!) 
He will not change a word, if there is a print mistake or erosion on note book, he will scrupulously make it that way on black board (every year).

He used to give his note book to students during part time degree course for copying and visit his home for meals. One day he returned early and found students gossiping. On inquiring the students said,

 “Sir! We have already purchased the book from where you have copied.”

We are eagerly waiting for a golden dawn

Engineering Practical Examination


*The external had arrived, all the instruments kept hidden in cupboards till now came come out and displayed on the table. The examiner picked up Screw gage and asked me,
“What is this instrument?”
I said “it is Screw gauge, used for measuring pitch of screws, Sir!”
He opened one and asked me, “Can you tell me the TPI (threads per inch)  of this gauge?”
I said, “4 TPI”
The examiner got annoyed and raised his voice “Did you memorize it before reaching here?”
“No Sir, it is written on the gauge itself.”

WRONG CHOICE

Engineering Excellence


The practical viva voce was going on, the external examiner asked, “If A. C. motor is connected to D. C. supply, what you think will it work?”
The student thought for some time and replied, “It will definitely work Sir, but….. वो मजा नहीं आयगा”

Rehersal .....?


राष्ट्रपति प्रसन्न है, अशोक चक्र प्रदान कर रहे हैं एक शूरवीर की असमय विधवा को ..जिसके   चेहर पर वेदना है पीड़ा है जो उसने झेली है.. उसने झेली थी. जो नहीं रहा- उसे उस मर्मान्तक दृश्य की बार बार याद दिलाई जाती है, कम से कम पंद्रह बार पूर्वाभ्यास भी  करना पडा होगा .. बेचारी ...  गर्व का दिन पीडाओं को और गहरी कर गया   

Jay Ho!


खोखली वाणी में 'जय हिंद' गूँज रहा है मन अभावों में अटका हुआ है, सरकार हमारे पैसे खर्च कर उसकी   उपलब्धि गिना रही है  जनता उनकी 'जय' के नारे लगा रही ..शायद कुछ दिन का भोजन मिल जायगा . रेगिस्तान में भी कायदे होते है जीने के लिए ..'जय' बुलवाने के त्यौहार का दिन है

Sun

प्रकृति बादलों के सफ़ेद आँचल से सहला रही है नर्म आँच फिर अच्छी लगाने लगी है

जो कुछ रुका हुआ था, जम सा गया था पिघल रहा है  बह निकला है, जड़ता  चैतन्य में परिवर्तित हो रही है. धूप अच्छी लगने लगी है


कितनी कविताएं बह निकली होगीं इस अश्रु धारा के साथ साथ ...

Waiting for her beloved

Vasant -14

सुना  है वसन्त आ गया है
मै ढूँढने निकल पडा, कही दिखाई नहीं दिया. शायद ऋतुराज होने के नाते साधारण लोगो से नहीं मिलता होगा! यह एक रिवाज होगा या कोई मजबूरी होगी - साधारण मनुष्य भी कितना साधारण कर दिया गया है...
वासंती हवाओं की तलाश में निकला था ---हवाइयां मिली चेहेरों पर! हरी हरी दूब से पटे हुए बड़े बड़े लान उस पर दौड़ते हुए रंग बिरंगे परिधानों में लिपटे शरीर,  क्यारियों में तरतीब से उगाये हुए फूल,   वसंत को करीने से प्रदर्शन के लिए लाया गया है.  पोस्टरों में वसंत उमड़ रहा है. आखिर वसंत को भी मनाना पड़ता है, मनाना चाहिए-  ऊपर से आर्डर है. 
फूल कुछ कहते हुए से क्यों नहीं लगते? पेड़ आमंत्रण क्यों नहीं देते? दूब दुलारती क्यों नहीं? वे रस भरी हवाएं कहाँ गयीं? वे हवाएं जो टेसुओ के इर्द गिर्द भागती फिरती है, मादक रस से भरे फूलों पर मंडराते हुए भंवरों के पंखो से चलती हैं, क्यों नहीं हैं यहाँ?
