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.”
