I'm assuming this is strictly fictional. Please tell me it is.

There is a very thin line between fiction and reality. You never no. This might be the truth some time in the future..

I was dumbfounded to discover that there has been no abuse for the author in the Comments section.

The background of the astonishment lies in the fact that more than 50% of the batch every year opt for elective to learn the intricacies of designing enterprise level application systems and the nitti-gritties of the timing of fixing a meeting and show utmost sincerity in submission of the stuffs like WSR. ( Please dont laugh)


In fact a huge percentage of them even opt to pursue some "LIVE" projects in the third sem to learn some language & framework ( read java). {Please dont keep in mind a postgraduate student is supposed to show interest for research.}

Still wondering how are those exponents of enterprise software applications still silent after reading the post !!!!
Isnt it strange??

Or they are still busy learning some IDE?

ha ha ha..

but i must accept that i m in that 50% group, "components and containers" in
Object oriented Analysis and Ducks[read OOAD],
"LIVE" framework learning in 3rd semester,

i should say that "hearing thro the system" is not bad as we think
