The new Ten Commandments

Exams ahead?? Have no clue about the portions?? Want to compete still?? Don’t worry here is the most effective and alluring ‘short cut’ to facing exams! The short and sweet name it has, synonymous with its size and contents, Bits (or Chits as some may prefer to call them). Having inspired many in my wing (Svenky, Ramana, SK, Akshay to name a few…) to take up this practice and having tested it myself with a lot of success, here is the readymade guide to all of you who aren’t short of intelligence but have been just lazy. The Ten Commandment structure is chosen to highlight the points and the importance of this noble practice. So here goes….

1.Thou shall start preparing bits only an hour before the exam: and not earlier for even if you can’t take out the bits in the exams, you would at least remember something! And you’ll know exactly which bit has which topic (for the desperate multi-biters!)

2.Thou shall prepare nice equal shaped bits: People don’t give importance to the shape of bits. After all they are our saviors so give some respect! Let them be of equal shape and the smaller, the better.

3.Thou shall prepare the bits with at most neatness and legibility: Be neat and crisp. And make sure you can read the thing you have written. For the most irritating thing is to know that you have the answer written and but not able to read it!

4.Thou shall use the same ink for writing the bits and the exam: Very important, can serve as a camouflage in case you are hiding the bits in the answer paper. Preferably black ink to match the question paper print colour.

5.Thou shall visit your ophthalmologist regularly: Proper eyesight is of at most importance. The ability to see the things written from a distance is the key to your performance in the exam. So check your eye regularly!

6.Thou shall be audacious enough throughout the practice: This practice is not for people who succumb to trepidation. This is for people who are willing to quell their apprehensions. Face any situation that might come up boldly (even getting caught). And it is not advisable to be highly presumptuous also.

7.Thou shall destroy the bits as soon as the exam ends: Make sure to retrieve all the bits you had taken to the exam hall and destroy it! And please never reuse the bits used in the cycle tests in your semesters. Don’t be so lazy guys!

8.Thou shall be clandestine in your activities: Never let the whole world know that you are into this practice. You’ll be castigated severely and people will try to make you give it up (especially the ones who study!). So be secretive (I am facing hell during exam time nowadays because of my publicizing the whole thing!!).

9.Thou shall be a firm believer in God: Everything that happens is directed from someone above. So please pray before each exam so that success is yours! (We guys idolize BABA!)

10.Thou shall inspire others around you to take up this noble practice: It’s always good to spread the word about the most inspiring thing you come across in your college life! So do tell your friends especially girls who are so very afraid and geeky!

Believe me once taken up this can be quite addictive and easy too. And always remember that studying for an exam and writing without any help is the best way to go about it. My best GPA came when I actually studied!

Ending the blog with a few quotes:

Svenky: ARS you have changed the way I look at exams! Using bits has made my preparation a lot easier and I am getting better scores than I did before. Where were you two years ago man??

Ramana: ARS you are a master! Please tell everyone that I got inspired a lot by you and that I can now easily prepare anything from formulae to definitions within a minute! Thanks!

Shyam Sundar: Dai ARS this is highly unfair. It took you just one hour to prepare what I did one full day. I hope you get caught today. And in the end if you get a better GPA than mine, I am killing you!!!!!!!!
