Rubbish marks and a chance meeting
I finally got my MSc results today. I must have ruffled a few feathers. I would like to believe that I am some sort of an academic James Dean by taking up a rather anti-establishment line in my thesis. Either that or I failed in some other way to suck up the powers that be. But I haughtily refuse to accept that my thesis deserves only a �B�. That brings down my eventual CGPA to 8.863�. Screw that!
With an amount of indignation, I went to the college to collect my mark-sheet today, and my department was inaugurating a new studio floor. Kamal Haasan was doing the honours and I got to meet him. Talk about silver linings. Whatever I might write about as a self-professed film-critic and how much ever I aspire to be a greater filmmaker, there is always this thrill of shaking hands and having a chat with a childhood hero. The fact that I already know him, momentarily gave me a kind of childish pride I could flaunt in front of my peers. You never stop being a star-struck film-fan.

Forgive my ignorance - but isn't 8.863 a good score?
Anyway - Kamala Hassan was also a childhood hero for me too! So I know exactly how you feel! :-)

Jag, it is a reasonably decent score.. But I guess I was too disappointed 'cause I got 9 or 9+ in all my previous semesters.
Kamal Haasan.. yes. He is a big star! :)
