Precious Pearl

K's backless friend!

Lets get serious people. Everyone everywhere talks of copyright infringement. Kathak has also put a copyright notice on Ek Kathak Aur Uski Kathayen as well as on Precious Pearl. And the very same Kathak allowed someone to copy parts of her DSP paper, and also told that girl some formulae.

A one time incident, though it wouldn't be right under any circumstance, it could pass of unnoticed. But the girl who was helped, and her basic attitude of being a total parasite does't aid the cause but makes her crime more henious.

1. She's always been trying to copy K's papers, and K some semesters ago told her that "I don't like or encourage the concept of copying. I'm sorry but whatever else i may do, I will not tell you stuff". And she said she herself doesn't like the concept (In spite of asking K if she could help a little during the paper)
2. She asked K some stuff during the first two papers and K ignored.
3. Third paper was RMT, and K didn't tell her stuff and told her that the examiner was staring at K so its dangerous. The girl retorted back with "You have some weird interest in being the class joker and attracting attention. Its your fault that the examiner looks at you". Also implying that its your fault that I can't copy! Then she also tells her ABC and XYZ copy right under the examiner's nose, and behind K's back MNO and PQR also copy. So what's her problem in life! And K couldn't tell that girl to copy from them if they're so open with the paper.
4. Before the 4th paper, she gave K a big lecture, including "If you don't want to show me anything, don't. If I don't know, I won't write it in the paper, simple". Eeesshh... isn't that what everyone does. If they don't know, they don't write. But the tone she used was telling K that she's doing K a favour by copying K's paper and clearing the year or whatever.
5. I believe in that paper at the end K whispered something, but nothing significant enough for her to copy.
6. The last paper.... the examiner guy wasn't paying much attention, sort of cool with all the whispering going on and stuff. It seems that happens a lot in COEP (Govt. College of Engg. Pune) and one of K's friend commented, "humara college aaj COEP ho gaya!". And the girl made most use of it. She asked something to the college topper who answered "Cascade/Parallel". Enough of a hint if you knew that the question was on digital filters to be implemented in either cascade or parallel form. But no, this girl had to wait for K to give her a step by step solution. (I got the technical from K, though I don't know what it means, but still put it in for those of you who could understand whatever that is). There were some more things that she took step by step from K. Another one thing on somethign called circular convolution (whatever that is) when she had her internal viva the proffie guy had asked something related and then given a 5 minute explaination. Because the stuff wasn't very clear in their local author. But then this girl has such a poor memory that she couldn't solve somethign the profie had given a one on one explaination for!!!!!!!!

Actually k should be writing the technical part.
1. because I don't understand anything of it, so I might smudge the details
2. beause she should be concerned

But irritatingly she is totally blase. Which is wrong.
K... why the hell do you need to associate yourself with that girl?
Why do you need to "maintain cordial relations"?
And WHY... when you yourself think it is wrong.

And people, what takes the icing on the cake is, after all that, rather than being tankful to K, she tells another girl, "Its because I shouted at her the other day, that she let me copy". What the hell was that????????????????????? Had I been there, I would have broken her jaw.

Copying is WRONG.
And K, letting someone copy is also wrong. Even if she turns around and looks at your paper, you can leave the question and write something that can't be copied, and come back to that later. I don't give a damn about how you prevent her, but you should have. PERIOD.
