Sachin=GOD Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Well' date='[b'] pretty much my entire under-graduation was an utter waste of time. Yes, I made a lot of life-long friends and we had great fun together, but from an academic standpoint, it was totally useless. The curriculum never captured my imagination; the professors were by and large mediocre and inept. If anything it made me dumber I think because since I didnÃÕ understand most of what was being taught, I resorted to rote learning just to get my degree. same here. Apart from a few subjects which I had taken in my specialization, most of the things I was taught in college were useless and most of the professors were not good enough. College life sirf assignments banate-banate nikal gayi :mad: And when I was in high-school, there was this HUGE craze in India over these IT courses. There were these institutes like NIIT that charged these exorbitant amounts (50,000 rupees, 60,000 rupees) for courses in C++, Java etc. Pretty much all of us took and they were, quite possibly, the most useless period of time in my life. We just went there every weekend, sat for 6 hours and came back home. :mad::mad: I had the misfortune of having C++, JAVA as part of the syllabus in classes 7th to 10th and I did not understand I single word in 4 years
akshayxyz Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 who watches movies like- 'out of control' ' date=' 'mere baap pehley aap' ? :WTF:[/quote'] Tou dekhi kisney? 10 minute mein bhaag liye... actually one of the friends got exited by the poster ( there was some firang in the movie).. and pushed us... and then we pushed back 10 minutes later.

And we were not aware of its existence, until one fine day we were taken on special trip to see a computer :). Obviously, we did not have any computer courses in that school.
Sachin=GOD Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 ^My school had a computer lab with around 40 computers and we had 1 lab class per week where we did programming (I just used to sit there or copy from my neighbor who was brilliant in computers :D) I never ever understood the 2 subjects starting with c - Computer & Chemistry

I went for mostly sciences in my A Levels because people in my family were of that kind of background. I totally frakked them up. It was not a waste of time per se as they led me on to Uni, albeit on to something totally unrelated. But if I could have my time back I would not have done Bio and chem or even maths
Sachin=GOD Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I have not watched a movie in the past 4 years. I would rather watch business news channels if i have time. yet your signature is a line from Rocky Balboa - a 4 year old movie

punjabi_khota Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 I have spent about 20 minutes reading the crap Blue panther has written on this website. THAT time I will never get back :wall:
varun Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 But you won't ever get back any time that has passed :dontknow:
Sidhoni Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I dont regret :proud: I dont want any of my time back
MonishaSarabhai Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 whats your rashee. what a waste of time. after karka rashee i lost interest. but i had to sit thru the entire movie. the songs were the worst.. one song after each meeting !! that's 12 songs.
Sooda Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 But you won't ever get back any time that has passed :dontknow: Indeed. :P But its whether youve done somewthing fruitful or pointless stuff in that time. Like me responding to you now, few seconds that I will never get back. Sigh. I could have been doing nothing instead. :mad:

The soundtrack to that film is very good I thought. I have not seen it though. Really like some of the songs. Sau Janam, is one of my faves of recent years
Yoda-esque Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Obviously, I've wasted plenty of time..but two films that I have been influenced by are "Phenomenon" & "GroundHog Day" ,both because they highlight the need to challenge yourself and keep improving each day.
J P K Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I just saved 10 minutes by skipping that 'long-cat' type cartoon. :dito:
