- into it . What happened is - due to cricket world cup I scored badly in 12th.I
- was getting a paid seat in a good college.
- But my father said (I prefer to call him 'baap') - "I can not invest so much of
- money".(The baap actually said - "I will never waste so much of money on
- you"). So I had to join this college. Frankly speaking this name - BabanRao
- Dhole-Patil, can at the most be related to a Shetakari Mahavidyalaya.

- Interviewer: ok, ok. It seems you have taken 6 years to complete your
- engineering.
- Candidate : Actually I tried my best to finish it in 4 years. But you know ,

- 2 = 7 years.

- Interviewer: But 4+2 is 6.
- Candidate: Oh, is it? You know I always had KT in maths. But I will try to
- keep this in mind. 4+2 is 6, good, thanks. These cricket matches really
