whatever argument I put up would be from my point of view....the result being that u would start looking at the problem my way.it is to this effect that, I think, it would be best to let u decide who's right and who's not.
the best way to do this,in my opinion, would be to present the case 'as it is' to ur bidding, and then u would be in a better position to understand the situation.
as far as I can think(i usually don't think), it is best to present my side, and theirs...in the exact dialogue that took place between us ,thus leaving u to arrive at ur own opinion.
here goes....
(DAY 1-(friday)--joined up niit advanced linux course ,did not aishwaryasingh23 fees but paid advanced of 500/--
scenario: a girl encroaches behind me...gets the chair beside me.sits down. I act as if I never saw her. suddenly she speaks!)
gal: let us start up with creating users.
me(baffled): uh...ok.
(enters another guy....wants gal to attend phone call from some parent.)
guy: madam...there is a call from ankits dad.
gal(looks at guy, then looks at me): can u excuse me for a minute?
me: hmm.
(gal gets out following guy....me starts playing some stupid game on the monochrome 586)
(an hour passes....she comes back!)
gal: I m extremely sorry.
me : hmm.
gal :so where were we?
me: (gnibbles!!!)
gal: ya...we were creating users.
(another guy comes in.wants to know why the net was not working)

gal: mebbe we can take the class tomorrow.actually its the last day for test taking.mebbe tomorrow we won't be this busy.
me: hmm ...mebbe.
( I leave with sweat all over...its so warm and muggy in there.,i think.it seems as if the ac is trying to take up all the air available in the room ...some sort of gas chamber?)
DAY 2:(next friday)
(scenario: I have waited for half an hour already.there seems to be a problem in the 586 linux server.no wonder.)
enters gal....speaks!
gal: i'll take up a theory lecture today.

(gal speaks non stop for 26 pages. first three chapters r over. I ask some doubts in between. she does'nt want to stop. goes on.some other gals in room giggle again. I m the only student.)
enters guy. wants to know why the net is'nt working.
gal wants me to stay.
gal: excuse me.

gal: come into the class.
me: ya
gal: today ..actually there is a seminar today on itanium processors.
me: do I need to attend?
gal: no, u can practice.
(seminar is held ...in the same room I practice. the 586 occasionally gives out little beeps and growls...other gals r disturbed. look at me with the f!@# expression. I leave it there and start listening)
half an hour passes.
i look at her with knowledge-hungry eyes.gal tries to concentrate.
hour passes.
seminar over. class starts.gal looks at me . speaks!
gal: ok.let us start with ...
(guy enters ...deja vu.)

gal: I m extremely sorry...but can u come tomorrow at 4.00? we can cover up that way. actually I 've been waiting for another student. he won't be coming.
DAY 4:(next day saturday)
linux server being repaired..gal takes active part.tells me to wait on lakdi.
i pick up another issue of business today.hey! its new... dec 2002.!
hour passes. me enter room.chauki tries to stop. I ignore him. gal tells me to wait.i want to play gnibbles.but the mouse is so bad..it moves only vertically.cannot be replaced because it has different pin structure
me: what is the problem?
gal: we r installing a new floppy disk drive!
me: yesss!
gal:(looks at me)wait.
me sit down at other comp. at 5.00, gal and the other gals wants me to sit at the server.
gal: okay.let us mount the floppy by using the mount command.
me: what is mount
gal : I already taught it to u earlier....u know na,u hav to create a mount for everything tht u attach to linux. the mount is in the dev directory na..
me: yayaya! (shats)
gal tries to mount.fails.tries again.fails.resets the pc.it takes an eternity.then tries to mount with the same command.fails.
gal: let us try the other command that is 'tar'
gal tries to tar. fails.tries again from gnome. fails again.
(enters guy...wants gal to attend a phone call.)
gal:excuse me...but u try to use the commands while I come back.
i try to read the notes. then use help file.then try to mount .fail and the machine hangs. I reboot. hour passes. I get up.
(enters gal)
gal:i m sorry. sit down.
me: my time is getting wasted
gal: sorry ...but I m not doing time pass with u. I really understand.
(i sit down)
me: nothing is working ma'm.
gal tries to mount.fails.tries to tar.fails.clears screen.tries to extract with tar.fails.refers help pages. then tries to tar again. fails . reboots for no apparent reason.
i look at her. other gals giggle.
me: I hav to leave .its 6.45 already.
gal: ok. please talk to the admin.
me: why
gal: in case u hav a problem.
me: hmm.
gal: can u come on tuesday?
me:i 'll try.
(i leave seeing her mount with the same command again.)
there r several things I want u to take note of.
1) the linux comp is 586. others r p2’s
2) there r only two classes.one is the machine room where people play games. The other room is where the classes r held.on many occasions ther r two classes going on simultaneously. I had the opportunity to learn parts of sql and windows when my classes were going on.
3) The ac does’nt work. On the 4.00 pm class,,I felt as if I was in hell.
4) The teacher knows everything.but she can’t explain it to a dumb student like me..
5) If ever u do an enquiry at nerul niit,,,be ready for a delegate who will visit u at ur home asking u the reason y u did’nt join up.
It is up to u to decide whether to join or not. And by the way…I hav not received a certificate from niit vashi for a modular course in sql that I wasted time on. It has been a year since I completed it. It is on the way for printing, she says.
