MY JUICE MAKING ATTEMPT: SPOON JUICE

That was a hot morning, a Sunday, where we youth, never see a 10 .00 am. But I had seen a 10.00 am that day because of the terrible heat. My mother switched off my fan. No choice for me, I had to wake up. I woke up by 9 itself had a look over the news paper, I was studying in 12std that time ,we always start reading at news paper from the back side. Firstly the sports page anywhere cricket scores are there, because I wanted to dominate the evening cricket match by spelling out all the score. But that day I didn’t have much to learn. So I went to my mother’s home which was very near. I noticed our new mixer grinder, Philips: probably it was the day I lost the belief in Philips.
                I have seen some fresh mangos in the refrigerator, so I decided to try our new mixer with ma juice making attempt. The mixer was very advanced; less sound making, timing system, filtering inbuilt, touch free, and so on. But that attempt was a real testing for any mixer.  Because I prefer drinking  than making juice and nobody else would have been tried this kind of juice. I had a perfect start offering everybody at home mango milkshake. Then I cut those mangos into small pieces took milk from freezer started crushing it. I took the new mixer manual; I read it carefully, because already I have a bad name for giving repairers more work. I studied it fully and started my attempt. I took the jar and kept those over the mixer motor. Perfect fit, I was happy. I put the milk into it then the whole pieces of mangos and sugar as much as I can.
                Then, after calling all gods I know names, I started my attempt: I closed the jar with the top, then set the time as 30 seconds . With all anxiety and wish moved my hands to the switch, I turned around; my whole family members were looking at me, I was more anxious ..Twick…I press the switch…
“Beep beep…………….”, that was the only sound came, not just because the mixer was not so noisy:, that was not working. I  turned around,  they were still gazing at me. Without minding those I switched off it and went for another attempt(not because that I had registered for ca and should get experience of attempting more)… this time I didn’t look back , I wanted them to go away. Again” Twick and beep” …without any hesitation I started cursing the mixer. Even though I didn’t use any mixer before I valued it as the worst mixer I ever used. And I started my usual research on why that was not working
                Then I took a “SPOON” which was the hero of the day and tested every part of the mixer. I wanted be a hero there. I opened the top of the jar and started checking inside. Meanwhile I took the manual and started reading. While manually putting the spoon inside and turning the mixer blade , my multiprocessor brain found out the reason in the manual. Great invention; the mixer’s minimum timing should be more than 30 seconds. I was so happy, and I announced the reason like a by hearted speech, without knowing the danger behind the over anxiety and multiprocessing.
                I restarted the work which was very easy after all. Fit the top back to the jar set the time to one minute. Press the switch. Have a speech about my findings; that is it. But I couldn’t  realize the danger inside….yes…really it was there inside without informing me, without giving an eye to anybody standing near to me…..yes he was none other than the hero “THE SPOON”. I forgot to take that back from the jar that was there still checking the blade of mixer, didn’t show his head or tail even when I closed top of the jar.
                Look at my fate……I kept my hands on the switch didn’t think of the hero inside, who can make the hero outside a villain. Ultimately I press the switch,” twick tack….twin ,twugh ,,,twish,tooosh blom.,,,, pzzz…………………..twishhhhhhhhhhhhhh”””””””…………..the top of the jar was 2 or 3 meters away from the mixer. Thanks to the invention it went off automatically. But half the mango milk shake was drunken by my kitchen walls. I was frightened; my multiprocessor didn’t allow me to look at anyone near to me who had served with juice before they were asking for that. Then I saw our hero’s head in the juice left in the jar. I had wished all were blind for a minute so that I can take the hero and finish the movie. But he was so clever to have an eye contact with my grandma too. It was all over; the hero was like a hockey stick, but would not be a problem when it could kill a brand new Philips mixer.
                I don’t want to say the things happened and climax dialogue I heard after my attempt, you can imagine. It went on to be just disastrous attempt and I went with the mixer to the nearest repairer. After that attempt, it was so easy for me to have juice from my house;  just order for the juice and enjoy it because others don’t want to lose their mixer for my attempts…………………but the hero is still there even though we replaced the mixer  at home looking at me every time I go to kitchen reminding  me about the problem of multiprocessing and juice making………………

I AM A CA STUDENT ???......YES >>>>>>WHY ARE YOU STILL ASKING ENNA PANNRINKEE????

THIS BLOG IS TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO ARE KNOWINGLY CALLED AS CA STUDENTS IN MODERN POST INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY…….
Firstly I will tell you story ,once a boy was walking over the roads on the way back to his home ,he met his old school teacher on the way and he started asking the one and only mangoos question “thambi,neenga enna panniringee??”.he replied that”doing ca”(note the point never a ca student pronounce the word studying ca).”ohh,which year thambi”;his master never let him go.
                You know this situation very well, if you are a ca student .You need to explain everything about the course to each and everyone. Most of used to escape by saying I am into 2nd year or 3rd year of ca. Actually the people around us doesn’t have any knowledge about the course especially in the rural areas. I had a lot of experience of getting a command about ca like this,” it is very difficult to pass but once you qualify you just put some sign and get the remuneration”. And one more thing is that auditing is not so popular in the rural areas,all they hear is just bank audits mostly co-operative banks and they will have govt departments to do that.
                Our pathetic situations never stop; our institute is the first thing we need to rebuild. Although we have the value of IIMs and IITs, and we are better than our friends ICWAI and ACS , our education system needs to be improve a lot. We still follow the private tuition centers, where we get much better classes than institute. And the situation of ,most reputed ca faculties taking classes at ymca groung is not so far, we wll experience those if this system continues.
                Our myths about valuation and pass percentage is pervasive(wish it is a myth). But I still doubt about the transparency of the valuation and result, we need to implement proper reliable methods like getting the copy of valued papers to the students. And the major myth which needs to be changed is that pass percentage fixation. I hope it will be different in the coming years(again a threat they are going to take back the 15 min provision) .
                The major reasons why this ca course we can’t express as years or stages is we never know that whether we are going to the other stage in the first attempt. So we safely say there are three stages and we are into inter or final (because of changes in the name of courses frequently we prefer to say inter than; ipcc,pcc,pe ii; the thing is that we can find students doing all of this). The major barrier lies in the confidence of the students. We are never been confident about writing exams and I have seen more students registering for writing both groups of inter and end up with writing only upto the first tough exam or only one group,which is the major reason for lower pass percentages. If the first tough is accounts , which is probably the first exam and results in giving up the other exam because of accounts hangover. Even the system of giving exemption(above 60 in any subject will be exempted for the next attempt even if you fail in aggregate) couldn’t avoid these things.
                I believe that this is the only course that you can say I am a ca student even if you are into your 5th attempt of cpt entrance(I think our president heard this a lot he is going to take back the provision for graduate students). This resulted in people taking ca course if they don’t want to hear the mangoos question “:thambi enna pannreenga:CA”, eventhough they are not doing any graduation or work.
                Our course is a correspondence course in general,it is intended for self study eventhough we spend a lot for tuitions. The major part of ca course is articleship training, where we work as an assistant of a qualified ca holding COP (certificate of practice). As per the new course , we need to start articleship only after finishing atleast first group of inter. Still we go for tuitions in the early morning and make our parents to say that it is so hard. And most of the students of ca don’t have the chances of enjoying their college days and if they are doing both together  the seriousness toward the ca will be affected.
                The answer for most of the questions lies in starting an identifiable, united and compulsory classes at least up to inter level which will make us confident of writing exams. And as it is all about choice, we need to be careful and serious about the course which will give a prosperous future, may be far better than an engineer who is spending  lakhs for their course and getting very less, as the investment towards ca is affordable. And without any doubt we can say that we are the best in the business of learning even though we need to improve. Let us hope for the best in the future so that atleat we can temper those mangoos question………….
