Transcending all communication barriers!!

Three years of engineering in this place has taught me loads.

For example even if you get up at 8:15 you can reach on time to class at 8:30 but you have to sacrifice your breakfast. You can still finish ten experiments in your record note book if you start at 11:20 for a 1:30 lab but you have to sacrifice lunch. Its completely justified to while away all the remaining time.

Apart from all such trivial things there's one great lesson I learnt from the college. You should never evaluate a teacher based on his/her language.

Mrs.C is one of the best teachers we have in the department. A typical class of hers runs somewhat this way:
"How it is that that is you will do this way?? You should that is know what you are doingu.. ('u' is that typical tamilian 'u')" It never matters to us that she talks this way because she teaches mass transfer really well. "Partial Condensation will that is give more efficiency" It does not really matter that she said that in a not so perfect english. We still understood that partial condensation gives more efficiency. But Mr.A, nickname shushu by a mr.10 of my class :), has an additional problem. He has to breathe out and hiss like a snake in between every sentence. So a typical sentence in his class will sound like:
"The reaction.... ssss.. will reachesssss... (breath)... completionssss... (someone laughs) (so he goes to his place and hisses and than says) are you understanding or not?? now whats microfluid and macrofluid?? (thats a long sentence so one more breath and..) ...ssssss..."
But still I understood that he wanted to say that a reaction reaches completion.

Thats the most precious lesson that I ever learnt... That i can transcend all communication barriers now :) Which is why you definitely need to be a part of an institution like this :)
