& Thus I Understood the Importance of Scribes !


Date 29th January 2011, the clocks hand tick to show the time 8.30 PM. SAARANG was over today, though the Rock Show m8 be going in the OAT, I thought in my mind but As I was not interested to attend it , I didn’t booked my place in the audience for the show.
Now its only 2 day remaining to complete the assignments for Complexity theory and from the name itself the word Complex may give you the idea of how the course would be.. (though it is not actually tough , but yaa for me it is really hard.. :( ). Now I have to start for solving the assignments, so I looked into the Questions once, and againg once.. , I thought at first Uff !! I wont be able to solve any of it, but then I thought I should look into my note to get an insight into what was taught to us so nicely by Prof and are their any straight forward questions deducing from the arguments discussed in the class, I flied to my bag lying on my bed just to discover that my notes was not there in it.., I thought I probably m8 wud have forgotten them in the lab, since I may have put them their after the last lecture of the course which took place on 25th Afternoon. 
I rodemy hayabusa ( cycle) swiftly to reach the lab located somewhat 1.5 Kms away from my room in some hardly 3-4 minutes.. (somehow I have to complete the assignment before the deadline (31st jan) that was the only thing in my mind going on dat time..) . I opened the lab lock approached my deskplace and searched for the notebook.. and Alas ! it was not their either.. I started asking myself , Where the heck I did have placed my notes ? Shall I go back and check in the room again ? I scrutinized and made a thorough check at my desk place( which some how now-a-days I am keeping clean , lolzz.. :D) and also check my cupboard at lab, but all in vain..
I pensively thought about the notebook and started revinding the movie at my mind.. as far as I can remember regarding the notes..
The clock showed 9.10. and Ping ! came the picture of me placing the notes in the mess on 25th during Lunch time, I forgot to take back my notes after the Lunch that day, and it has been almost 4 days from then, I didn’t bother to open 4 days.. Enjoying Saarang and more importantly sleeping 14 hours a day..
What should I do now ? The mess will be closed so I can’t go their and ask him Whether their any an inch of getting the notes .. I gave a second thought , somehow I have to start working ton8 only or else I wont solve even a single question..
I didn’t have number of any others in the class, no batchmates of m9 have taken up that course, so I searched  for the enrolled students name in Students portal, and yaa I got details of Gaurav’s room ..
Hopingly to find him in his room I rode my cycle to his hosti.. and now was the time to search for the room.., climbing the 2nd floor I discovered I am at the wrong half of the hostel, thank God at least the wings in Tapti hostel are connected or else I would have to stair down to ground floor and again climb to 2nd floor in the other wing.. I hunted for Gaurav’s room then.. and finally found it.. Ohh !! atleast their was no Lock at his room..so I felt a bit hopeful, and tukk tukk !! here I knocked..
To my contentment Gaurav himself opened the door and delievered me a cheerful Hiee !!.. hello I said..
And continuing I said.. Ummm , I have lost my Complexity Theory notes , can you lend me your notes for today n8 ? I will return them tomorrow for sure.. I said.
He said sure, and he tumbled on his table and came up with the notes in few seconds.. Thanks was the best I can say to him and I made my way back to the room, While the way towards my room I asked myself , Now that’s why they have put for the section Lecture scribes for the Bums and carefree students.
I always had this question in mind, When every 1 is putting their notes up for them  Why the heck is this need of Scribe stuff, just a pain and time waste, typing in LATEX and blah blah..
I thought When every1 has his own guide for the course as the notebook, why he will peep to this scribes for any reason.. but yaa now I have the answer to this,, now I was the candid Who really required the scribed lecture notes, and I really found them helpful..
Thanks , and Thus I realized the significance of Scribes !!
Its very r8ly said, until you loose something you don’t realize the significance.. :-)
