Alright! I'm here :) Fit and healthy! (Slowly covers herself with armour) but I'm extremely sorry for the late reply. (Waits for tomatoes and chappal)! Exams were eating away my soul bit by bit. I finally finished those monstrosities and I'm proud to announce that I have HOLIDAYSSS!!! Which mean more updates! I pinky promise everyone that I will update regularly, make up for the excessive delays you know?
Before you scroll down and start reading! I'm still going to continue my little thank you contest. I pick a person and they tell me a scene or situation that they would like to see in the story and I will put it it? Well this is the first part of it. Suggested by our very own Pari (gujjupari). I write what her suggestion is at the end and do tell me if I fulfilled it well.
Part 16::
The whole gang were enjoying the festivities to the fullest! There were traditional dances and music and a bonfire, what more could you ask for a great night. Just as they were about to depart to their homes, Vardhan sir and Manish sir from CIBT asked both the colleges to gather around. They told them that since both the colleges are away for three weeks and since the other professors are worried that they might lag behind. Both the college professors decided to conduct a VIVA test and send the results back to their respective colleges so that those marks can be added towards their grade.
After the whole night of fun and masti, a gloomy shadow fell on their faces. Not only did the groups have to prepare for their dream team project in these 3 weeks but they also had to study? Sleep looked like a far dream now. They just shivered at the amount of effort and sleepless night that they had to invest for this stupid VIVA test. With a sunken heart and soul they went back to their houses, the guys were off to sleep where as the girls decided to get some studying done, that didn't work in their favour as they were running around the whole day and the moment they opened their books, sleep came over them. Realising that this is gonna be a rare case, they just shut the books and decided to sleep heartily while they can.
The next two days were spent balancing project work and study for the test. Not a single person held a conversation that went further than how are you studying? They all looked very close to zombie like things. Vardhan sir had seen the amount of stress these people decided to take on themselves, in order to lighten things up a little bit he went over to Manish and put forth his plan. Though he seemed a little reluctant as first Manish agreed. They planned on indulging a little bit of friendly competition and organised a buzzer based question answer round. Both the teams would face against each other and which ever team gets the most points, wins the round and will be left out of the VIVA test and full marks on their behalf will be sent to the professors. The only condition was that both the teams can only pick four people that were fully prepared in every subject. The others will have to take the VIVA test.
When this was announced to the groups, there was a mixed response. The gang readily chose Randhir, Sanyukta, Parth and Manasvi. Jiggy was more that happy ttake the VIVA test. According to his calculation, the maximum number of questions he could be asked were around 5-7 maximum, and incase he got stuck answering something, the examiner usually gives prompts. He in no way wanted to face the spit fire of the buzzer round. Randhir was confident that they would win this as he was always up to date with his syllabus and he knew that other three were hardworking and smart, they had nothing to worry about. Sanyu and Manasvi were just going over last minute notes before the competition. Vardhan sir had spent this time constructing two buzzers out of two old bells that he found in the ware house.
They used the podiums from the drama people from last night and were ready to go. Manasvi peeked over to the other side and not to her surprise, she saw Rohit and Priya and two other people that she didn't know the names of and later found out that they were called Ayesha and Gaurav. Manasvi had her eyes solely set on Rohit and Priya, she was gonna crush them in this round. With a steely glint she returned to her group and discussed strategies and who should answer which question. Manish told them that the group that scored 50 first would win. Randhir leaned close to Sanyu and whispered Ready? Sanyukta Agarwal?, Always! Mr Randhir Shekawat. Always and with a determined stance she was ready to face the questions.
30 minutes later:
FITE'ians were going great! So far they were 25-15. Randhir was generally the first to press the buzzer and if he stumbled Sanyu covered it up. Parth and Mansvi barely answered a couple of questions. Sensing that that other team started to notice this, Parth asked Randhir to stop showing off to Sanyukta as she already know how intelligent he is. He said that Manasvi and him haven't answered much and she's dying to answer questions. Randhir sheepishly said that same thing to Sanyu and she agreed and pushed the buzzer to their side of the podium. Before another question was asked, Priya boldly asked Manish if the other team even needed four people as only two were answering everything. Parth was a bit taken back by that, Priya seemed nice when she was talking to him. This was just plain rude. Manish asked her to sit down and they commenced the questions. Manasvi and Parth had a signal going on, when the question was being asked either Parth or Manasvi would tap the others arm saying that they should answer it. Do far it was going great. They brought up the score to 35-20. Unfortunately Rohit answered a difficult one and their team scored five points straight. He gave Manasvi an arrogant look and it irked her.
Manasvi had an internal speech in her head! "Rohit ke bacche! Mujhe look dega? Ab tu dekh! You just wait for it, agar main tumhe ab se ek bhi point pass ki na? Toh main apni Baal kat doongi! Manish sir said that this part was crucial and that each answer is worth two points.
Manish: what are the names given to the following: constant temperature, constant pressure, constant volume, internal energy, constant enthalpy and constant entropy processes.
Rohit and Priya was just in the process of writing down the question, when Manasvi looked at Rohit square in the eye and without batting an eyelash and in her perfect voice said: Isothermal, isochroic, isobaric, free expression, throttling and adiabatic processes respectively. She just chucked a glare at Priya that pretty much said "Suck it!! You lost". It took everyone a while to recover from the blow that they just got. They had never seen this side of Manasvi, not only did she make her team win by a landslide with that one answer, but she also proved the fact that she was no weak helpless girl. Given the situation she was ready to crush all of them.
With euphoric hearts and victorious smiles, the gang were making their way back to celebrate and help the rest of the team for the VIVA. Just before they were about. To walk away they had all heard the whispers of the CIBT team about Manasvi, ranging from, "WOW! What a girl?" to "let's see how long she will resists us? After all we are her ex college". They all had royally ignored them and went away. Suddenly Manasvi asked all of them to stop. She walked up to CIBT with a confident strut and started her mini speech that she had prepped herself for, every since she realised that they were the opposing team.
She said " Look! I know we have our differences as two different teams in this competition. But for me its personal. It's a matter of my self confidence and my soul. We all want a fair and square fight, and I know that we will fight to the very end. May the best team win! But let me just tell you (looked directly at Rohit and Priya) if you guys decide to play dirty or think that I'm going to get scared or back down because have we have a past, then forget it! Cause that ain't happening my friend. Or if you think just because you happened to be my ex college, there is a chance that I will back bite my friends and join you..! That won't be happening either. So if we stick to what this competition truly represents and work in a fair and friendly way, we aren't going to have many problems. There is a very high chance that we could become good friends. But if some of you decide to take a shortcut or deploy some devilish strategies. I will not sit back and watch. You play dirty, i will play dirty. Mind you..if you decide to bring me down to that level then God save you all. So good night! And see you tomorrow!" She waved and walked back to her team who looked at her with pride. Even Vardhan sir cracked a smile at her mini burst of badassness.
With that they walked away to an evening of celebration and preparation. In hopes of having themselves surrounded by good days like this one and great friends like they had.
Ookayy!!
That's it for now!
Ps: Pari's wish was for Manasvi to give it back to Rohit's college. She wanted to satisfy her inner feminist! So? Did it??
