Open your eyes - 1

Part - ONE

Yesterday evening, I was wonderin what to write in my blog. Suddenly an incident tht
happened last week popped up in my mind.. so i thought i ll share tht with you..
I met one of my old school pals at a relatives marriage. To my surprise he is working as a
Probationary officer in a bank (wow.. nowadays a govt job is m).. you may be thinking why i
am surprised to hear tht..

Yes, the reason is very simple, coz wen he was studying in the tenth standard, he was the
only student who made a hatrick failure in all his English model exams. He was a such a lazy
fellow, who always made me do his record works and in the end paid me very generously..(he
used to buy me some bakery foods..).

Somehow he got a second class and then he joined some govt school for his plus two.. With a
five figured rank in Kerala entrance, he somehow got an admission in a self financing
college.. I donno why tis guy took elect & commn. ..hmmm.. u knww... rit...
i myself donno how i got saved from those 59 bullets(..hee.. no.of subjects..).

Anyways,he completed his B.tech bt sadly dint get placed anywhere..
okk.. bt he wasnt sad.. he applied for some govt. tests, and got placed in a reputed bank..

I knw.. first thing tht comes to your mind is tht.. "Ohh.. it was his luck.." rit??
Bt my dear frnds.. his luck alone was nt the reason..

Do anyone knw how he cracked the exam??

I ll tell you the answer.. he was a guy who always studied things in a qualitative manner
rather than quantitatively (..lik most of us do).. so we scored good marks, bt he dint.. Bt
he understood many things and sadly we dint..

He was a good reader(At school, i used to see him every morning, reading some newspaper in
the gate keepers room..nt bcoz we dnt ve a library.. bt it will be opend only by 9:30 am)
..and so he had a great knowledge on the general things happenin around us..

And I knw..if i ask you which was the toughest section for you in the bank test.. you will
say the General Knowledge section.. am i rit??

Let us ask ourselves, to how much detail did we observe things..for example..
* What was the color of the shirt worn by our electronics sir??
* Wat is the registration no. of our Principals car??
i knw its a black lancer(don't stare..I was talking abt the principal of SCT collg of Engg..).. bt
wat is its no.??
* Which branch is next to ur class?
* Which was the last notice tht appeared in ur notice board??
* Who was the Chief guest of our last Annual fest?
* How may working days are there in an academic year?

i knw u all r sitting idle.. a person who has a widely open eyes and ears only can answer these questions..

Now the smile in your face is simply coz you cant answer these things.. rit??
yaar.. this is the truth.. we dont knw these small things..

(will be contd..)
