Picture a scene of workshop lab , final examination of 2nd semester electronics students. Approximately 15 boys and girls are in the lab in a tensed atmosphere. you have a internal and external faculty monitoring the exam. Internal faculty seems to be missing just after 15 minutes of start of the exam. A simple diagram of male and female piece of metal is written where the students need to cut the iron metal exactly as written on the board. Plus there will be soldering exam in another workshop facility.
Metal pieces are given to the students and every body take their places and start cutting the hard metal with their Axel blades. while i am busy cutting the metal i get distracted by a girl who is exactly opposite to me , she seems to be doing something different. when i look closely she is indeed trying to gain attention of the external faculty by putting hair from right to left and left to right and smiling towards external faculty. I did not dare to see the faculty who was right behind me. I just focused on the the lab exam and continued to cut the metal.
The same was noticed by many people at the lab. I felt disgusted towards her and thought for a second, to what extent people go to gain advantage?.
In between while cutting the metal we were called in batches to do soldering, when i wore the glasses to solder, i could not see anything but with all the guess work i just managed to solder the metal pieces and returned to my desk to continue cutting the metal. I do not why i took more time to cut the first metal. I had already taken 3/4th of the time to cut the first metal piece and same was the condition of many other students. i managed to cut the 2nd metal piece in a hurry and got hold of the only hammer which was available in the lab and i managed to cut the metal with 50% accuracy and i had to file a lot to make it perfect.
My other close friend and topper of first semester was literally lagging behind and he managed to get the hammer from me towards the end and he hit the metal piece with all the force he had and broke it into 2 pieces. I did not witness that. but learnt after the examination. The problem of having very limited resource in the lab made my friend take drastic step of breaking the whole metal piece.I was lucky not to break it but mine was also not that great finished product.
Finally in the via-voice exam, i managed to answer few question. As we all know faculties ask most difficult question during this via-voice questioning. Very few students manage to impress the faculty by answering all the questions.
Once the exam was over we all returned with disappointment and fear. when the results were declared in the 3rd semester. it was a huge disappointment.
Guess what the girl who was smiling all the way to the external faculty had topped the lab exam. My friend who had scored 90% in all the subjects had failed the exam. I just managed to scrap through with passing marks.
From then on things changed in all our lives and had a significant impact on ones thinking.

That girl realized that she had a sexual advantage over others and she utilized to maximum and went on to score more and more marks in every lab exam.
My friend who was very aggressive in studies and also the topper of earlier semester had become more defensive. I could see, more cautious approach and contentment in him than having a aggressive approach. Due to this he did not become topper again.
And i promised myself not to get distracted with these kind of cheap people's tricks and focused on individual lab work and it did really helped me in all my future lab exams.
