Art of question paper leaks

(Following is based upon a real discussion which I had today morning)

As I was making efforts to keep myself afloat in the swimming pool, I overheard some conversations -

"Puraa paper pataa hota hai, wo to humein mil hi jaata hai ... tab bhi hum nahi padhte hain" ... and so on

The guy who did bulk of talking looked around 15 years old and seemed like quite a spoilt brat.

I chipped in with some expert comments and questions -

"Which board?"

"Kisi bhi board ka"

After a minute of chat I gathered that he had just given Class 10 exams in ICSE board and was planning to take science stream(PCM), and he studied in a school (say SKP). He had earlier managed to do the same at his previous school (say CRK).

Inquisitively, I tried to gather more information on how he manages to get the paper

"Bus kuch nahi, security guard ko paise do. 8th, 10th, 12th ke papers. Wo ek extra copy karaa leta hai. ICSE ke paper out karna sabse easy hai. Koi seal nahi hoti"

"Waise to CBSE and ..."

"Haan CBSE aur Chattisgarh board ke bhi paper milte hai na. But uska doosra tarika hai."

"Kaise?"

"Printing press mein mil jaate hain. Wo kya hai na ... usme seal lagi rehti hai so paper nikaal nahi sakte ... ICSE mein seal nahi hoti. Ye sirf Bhilai aur Durg mein hota hai. Waise milne ko to IIT ka bhi paper mil jaata hai. Lekin uske liye 25 - 50 hazaar maangta hai. "

(Half a minute of silence)

Waise aap kya kar rahe ho"

(I tell 2 lines about myself)

"Haan ek baar MBA kar lo to life mast ho jaati hai ... Meri mummy kehti hai ki tu dukaan mein baithta hai, tu to aadha MBA ho hi gaya hai. Bus ek degree ki kami hai. Kaafi to aata hi hai humein dukaan mein baith kar "

"Kaun si dukaan hai aapki ?"

"Saree ki dukaan hai hamaari. yahin pass mein hai. XYZ Sarees."

Again the boasting continues ...

"Main 10th board ke pehle roj Bhilai jaakar paper laaya hoon ... Har ek paper. Meri sister ke bhi saare papers jugaade the maine"

....

....

For a moment, I felt like an idiot having slogged so many years ... and the next moment I was inside the water, continuing to make efforts to prevent myself from drowning, after such a heavy dose!

    We spend most of the time in our life staring at blackboards...and some time later white boards....Just few days back I came to know of an organised "crime" of supplying question paper solutions to candidates in engineering semester exams spread over whole of Bhilai

    @ Reema -

    From that intellectual and knowledgeable discussion I had, it seems Bhilai is a big center for buying question papers!

    Totally off the track ->

    These question papers suppliers shouldn't define their business as "supplying question papers". Rather they could position themselves in service sector of the economy and be "End to End Admissions solution provider"

Assorted Random Semi-Verses

Memories Isn't every memory a magic? Making you lose the sense of time. Which is so much beyond the realm of logic. Though sometimes they are mere illusions But they keep coming back to you, And make you feel nostalgic! ___ The Dark Side With every talent comes a curse, From every gift speaks a caveat aloud, Even the beautiful moon has a dark side, And every silver lining has a cloud! ___ The Race Somewhere in this race, Some time during the run, I lost myself in between, And forgot to have fun. ____ I write ... I sometimes write random words, Which hardly make any sense; But I just felt that you should know, That in some corner of this little world, I do have a little presence!

destined for greatness ...

He had one final look at his work. The ending was perfect. The beginning was perfect. Yes. The pace slackened a bit in middle, but it was acceptable. A handful of people may not like it. He couldn't please all. But he was sure that he would please most of the people, the ones who mattered. Above all, the work would impress him. He had surpassed his own expectations. He had read the final draft for the 27th time by now. It was perfect. Next day he would contact the publishers. He was sure that nobody would refuse. They would lap up his work and offer him some handsome sum of money. Probably much more than any of the first time writers could ever dream of, at an age of 29. That would bring it all - name, fame, recognition, money ... everything! He was destined for greatness, as a part of the title suggested. Maybe in a year ... or two years at max, the world will recognize his greatness. Maybe, that would be fitting reply to the world which had branded him as a insecure, reclusive, w...

Financial tips for a 25 year old

Originally published at  BeingfinWise __ If you are 25 year old, there is a good likelihood that you would have started working or are likely to start soon. And hopefully start(ed) managing your own finances. So, what do you do next? The good news is that having a profession can soon lead to cash flows which perhaps wouldn't have seen in your student days. And that can be empowering in many ways. The bad news is that, if you are reckless with spending money, it can soon lead to a downward financial spiral. Managing your finances well can be a good first step towards a healthy financial life. And it starts with small steps.

What's the purpose of investing?

"Investment" - This word is much used and often much abused one. One keeps on hearing this almost all the time be it in office or catching up with friends or attending a family functions - almost everywhere. More so when we are fed with lot of information about how one needs to make money work to get more money. However, for a lot of people, the clarity on one question is often lacking - What is the purpose of investing? And even if one knows his/ her purpose of investing, it is often not implemented in real life. For instance, purpose of one's investments may be having sufficient funds in times of need. Yet they may opt for a personal loan when faced with pressing need for money. Based upon my observations, below are some of the most common purpose of investments (in no particular order) I invest because there is some sufficient funds lying with me and I can get great returns. I am investing for some specific goal - buying a house, education of kids, m...
