N'-5'-Phosphoribosyl formimino-5-amino imidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide isomerase!!!!

UPDATE : 2/12/06 --- HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHRUTI!!! :D Have a rocking day! And may the coming year bring us more singing sessions (rather, killing the songs sessions!), craziness sessions, HP discussions, Depp oggling sessions and the likes ;-) And obviously, more 'lets land up at divya's house' sessions :D :D And am awaiting my 'special' treat! Told u i love the special treatment! hehe... anyway, have a nice day man. God bless.


Exam time... i need to have a post related to them! But am definitely not talking about the only paper i've written...

I loved some of the sms fwds that came in recently...exam fwds! here's a sample.

RULE OF HALVES
Half the portion is not covered.
Half the covered portion is not properly taught.
Half the properly taught portions you wont learn.
Half of what you learn, you don't understand.
Half of what you understand, you won't remember.
Half of what you remember wont be asked.
Half of what is asked, you won't be able to answer.
And Half of what you write will get half the marks!
So why learn and waste time?

Well... learn and waste time to get atleast those half marks! I don't know how relevant it is to people across the globe, but it definitely holds good to a certain extent for us anna uni students!

DECLARATION
At the end of the exam paper...
I hereby declare that the answers written above are true to the best of my friend's knowledge and belief. I claim no responsibilty of the correctness of answers. All the answers I've written are fictitious and are related to no real subject matter. Its just written for enjoyment (!!!no!). Any resemblance with the correct answer is purely coincidental!

Well... nice time pass!

And thanks to shruti for those 2 messages right before my first exam! ;-)

Another one that i really laughed at!

Go switch on sun news immediately. Exam has been postponed due to floods!
(i was like ehh?) *scroll down*
First anniversary for this message!

Ok it might have been pretty yawny! But i was getting too groggy with biochem, not to mention sleepy and saturated. Everything started moving tangential to the head... and maybe my glucose/carbohydrate/energy/ATP levels aren't high enough for quick activity and productive grasping! Or my ion channel pumps arent working quick enough(maybe they want me to sleep too?)... There, i really have been into bioechem havent I ;-) And there i go blabbering yet again... *sigh* After effects for studying from immovably fat books for 3 days :( And its just the beginning... Am so waiting for dec 12th! AAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhh cant they just get over!

PS: The title of this post is actually an enzyme used in synthesis of the amino acid Histidine! I happily skipped it just cuz the names were too long! :D Pl pray it doesn't come! please!

PPS: Nov 26th - Happy birthday Charenya!!!! VMites - Our class charenya! Another doc in the making!

Yours "what a contrast to the prev post" ly
Signing off....

im bored to death studying acoustics!!!!!! all i can think abt is knonkona.......the same thing happened even in the exam....i was thinking abt her for a good 5 mins!!!!!!!

Div said...

i dont even think abt depp so much! Din know u were crazier than me ;-) i actually haven thot abt him at all in the past few days! Defintiely not during the exam!

tsb said...

dec 12th, aa?

you're waiting for it only because your exams ends? :p

:cough:

Nikhil said...

Most of the doctors here have a thing against histamine. I don't know why. They keep prescribing anti-histamines for everything. Nonsense.
I personally never use them. Histamine is not bad, except in very serious overproduction, so why block it?? What's so bad about a blocked, runny nose for a few days?!

Div said...

tsb - Wat else wud i wait for? rajnikath's birthday?? :P Only u'd do that ;-)

Nik - okkkk...!! Thats why people dont usually see a doc just for running and blocked nose! They live with it :D so we don have anythin against histamines ;-) but definitely somethin against synthesis of histidine!!! :D

BTW the q din come in the paper :D :D

i think im having an obsessive disorder.....the same thing happened in today's exam as well....maybe its just making me perform better in exams....

lol..the first fwd was really good. and dec.12th ur exams get over and dec. 13th mine start..wwaahh i hate exams and 13th to 22nd is going to be SUCH a loooong week..u should be glad your exams have already started only about 14 more days to go..heeyy how many subjects do u have??that your exams stretch over almost 20 days?

Div said...

caulagi - As long as it helps u do well, good enough! ;-)

Suk - They will eventually get over, but u do have to sit thro the whole painful prcoess! I have only 6 papers suk, but we have holidays in betn...n well do u have an exam on 14th?

Nikhil said...

Ok, I'm sooo embarassed.
I had misread the reference to 'Histidine' in your post as 'Histamine', and therefore the tirade against it..
I'm so bloody embarassed. Uggghh.
I have nothing against histidine.

*red faced*

Div said...

nik - LOL! no big deal... i was dumb enough to think that u were talkin abt histamine cuz histamine is directly biosynthesised from histidine! And being a doc, u'd be more concerned with histamines than histidine! i don blame u!

Nikhil said...

I am NOT a doc

I am just stuck in a med school

:-)

Div said...

i believe u will be one someday! Even if u dont want to be ;-) The civil services are always more invitin i guess!

Nikhil said...

Divs in a skirt?

?

?

?

Was there alcohol too?

:-D

Div said...

nik - wats a skirt got to do with alcohol? n besides, we dont reveal such classified info ;-)

Anonymous said...

Somewhere i read about the incompatibility between you and skirts! Was that ur blog or Kar's ?? In any case, I agree with Nikhil on the question - Was there alcohol ? :-B

Div said...

anish - it was my blog. Incompatibility - YES. I wear skirts only when i get bitten! Last time it was a dog, this time not a dog, but bitten all the same.There's some weird relation betn my odd sem exams n bites n skirts.

And like i said, the info is classified!

Nikhil said...

Why do you keep harping on 'classified'?

Nice Tamil Brahmin girls do not drink.

Fine, we know. Don't advertise.

:-D

*LOL*

And have I ever told you the story of how I got hit by The Thunderbolt (ppl who got that The Godfather reference, pat yourselves!) when I saw a girl in a gorgeous long white crumpled gypsy skirt and a lemon green sleeveless top ?

*eyes glaze over*

Maybe some other day.

Div said...

nik - gave myself the pat! n well, i thot it was a long black skirt and a dark green top! ;-) looks like u have way too many combinations! And well, yes, Nice tamil brahmin girls do not drink, apparently. There are always a bunch of them who break out of the stereotype! :D

Anonymous said...

Bitten all the same ?? By what ?

Nikhil said...

Long black skirt and dark green top??
Who are you talkin' about? Did I tell you about someone like that??
Damn, am I forgetting my own Thunderbolt moment girls??

And yeah, bitten by what?? Dog again aa??

Div said...

nik - ya u did. I rmbr cuz we argued...i said thats not a very nice combo, n u said its a lovely combo! n u said caulagi also agreed with u that its a great combo!

Why the hell do i rmbr such stuff?

and well, not bitten by a dog! Gettin bitten once will last me a lifetime! Some stupid insect...that kept runnin on my clothes... bad enough.

Div said...

anish - got bitten by - read the above comment!

Anonymous said...

Of course, I remember now!
It was a Chinky in Kuala Lumpur.
And she was in a dark green top and a black mini skirt, not a long skirt. That's why I was confused before.

Div said...

nik - OK!!

tsb said...

be careful that it is not a conenose bug of the family reduviddae, as these are important arthropod vectors of the parasite Trypanosoma Cruzi, which can cause Chagas disease and is the third most important parasitic disease in the world after malaria and schistosomiasis.
you could consider yourself safe, as T. Cruzi, as it is affectionately known is not found in India. However, with the shrinking world and the development of a global village, who knows if parasites are lining up with their passports and visas ready to hop into a country filled with a billion people.

:parasitic biology:

Div said...

tsb - The world welcomes the lord of randomness back! Where the hell was all that hibernating? LOL!
I tried thinking...of a few come back lines from genetic engg (which is tomm's exam, but hell, one needs to be tsb to do that!

btw, i first thot i'd got measles or something! But ofcourse, the source of discomfort was soon unraveled and tended to! ;-)

tsb said...

too true, too true.

however, my randomness has been shackled for a long time by the combined forces of ordered scientific articles and other such human like tendencies. i am currently in the process of shaking off the chains and rising from the ashes like the proverbial phoenix, all the while also trying to find out the cause for why nikhil is sooo cool :wow:
