It is not a task that fills mewith joy. The university buildings have been designed by the same school that designed Gulags, there are rows and rows and rows of people correcting papers, the noise &amp; the heat are unbearable &#8230; and the quality of students has been falling every single year since I began teaching 7 years ago. There are students who are good, who are terrible and who are out of this world. The last are incredible in their inventiveness but unfortunately that inventiveness has nothing remotely to do with the answers expected of them. As usual, i am sharing some of the best with you, dear reader.

The growing number of channels are resulting in the growing number of indecency.<\/li>\n<li>In India FM Channels are kindly stated that controversial\u00a0nationally\u00a0crafted (no i don&#8217;t know what this means. yes, the rest of the paper was like this too- the haemoglobin of the atmosphere)<\/li>\n<li>The radio was invented by G Macroni in 1875.
