In my college life, the only thing i have learnt till now is the following-
Friends can get you marks, but marks can not get you friends.
Friends can get you marks in the following ways-
1) DIRECTLY
You don't know one answer in the exam. You ask your nearby friend. He tells you the answer.
2) INDIRECTLY
a)On the night of the exam, you can't understand one topic. You go to your friends, who make you understand the topic.
b)Your friends tell you about important/expected questions/topics for the exam. They also brief you about which topic is easy and which topic will take time. So, you can make a better decision on 'when' and 'where' to start.
On the other hand, if you don't have friends, the going can get tough. In the exam, you would have no one to turn to, if you are stuck on a question. If you can't understand a topic, then you would have to run to the teacher's office and wait for him to get into the mood to expolain that topic to you. Also without friends, you would have no chance of knowing a commonly known leaked question.
Agreed that marks can get you jobs easily, but what's the use of that job if you would have to celebrate that night's drink in your singlet, alone? In colleges like ours, almost everybody gets placed. So, a higher pointer does not guarantee a higher pay package..
When the times are tough and you feel like crying, you will cry on the shoulders of your friends, not on the face of your A-studded marksheet!
After all, in life, it is the friends who get the work done, NOT marks. eg. my trainings were all arranged by my dad's college friends. Though i regret that my friends' training couldn't be arranged with mine, the point is that had my dad not made friends in his college-time, i would be training-less! (Well my dad's an ideal case as he's got both marks and friends!)
Friends, remember that even in the newly induced Relative Grading System(RGS), our batchmates are not our enemies. They are not even our competitors. They are all our friends-friends only who can save our boat from sinking in the shitty sea of RGS.
So people, don't run after marks. Run after(and for) friends!!

u know what??... I like this post.. I got to know half my friends as they made up my 7 points :) ... and I love the line abt sheeding tears on ur A-studded grade sheet! .. very well written.
Damn bull shit RGS !!!
Its a calculated conspiracy against we people . The college authorities do not want to see us as we were and we are today(Don't know exactly about the "dark" future being colored recently by Introducing RGS)
Some of the students name it as Survival is the fittest......but I personally think they need survival environment first then comes the question of other mean things like survival etc. and it (RGS) is a technique to destroy the environment......So Its a high time that one must have an insight look at it and understand that......
ITS FRIENDSHIP , THE ENVIRONMENT FIRST ,,,,,,then comes the silly marks and all others......
anyway...
nice job endley....
Really a good one......
