Cheated and not Caught

first of all a very humble request to all the fellow bloggers who comeover...

if u r here..dont feel shy from saying a hi...there's a shoutbox...there are comments options for posts..take ur pick :)

coming to the topic of the post...well its about cheating we all do...n now dont get ideas..i ll limit this to the cheating u ve done in the exams in schools...colleges...universities..etc..and gotten caught...

well..with me this happened during my engineering...cell phones are a great mode of cheating..i remember storing answers to almost all important answers in my cellphone..it was a nokia 6610i..n i cud store alot msgs...so there i went happily one day for the exm..with all the preparation and backup...i hadnt been caught the last few times so i wasnt gonna b caught this time too...

now half way thru i release i need to see a few points for an answer...so i take out my cell from my pocket...go to the msgs and start reading the answers...the invigilator was looking elsewhere n i was looking at him frm the corner of my eye...i looked down again to see a particular point n then as soon i looked up..he turned...he saw me holding something in my hand...

he gave me that suspicious look n walked over...he asked what i was doing with the cellphone..i made an innocent face n told him.."sir..i got late for the exm..so forgot to switch it off n keep it on the desk..n now i was getting a call from some number so i was trying to switch of the cell"...all this while i ensured that i had closed the msgs section of the cell...

then he took the cellphone from my hand and started searching..i am sure he was not gizmo freak...he looked up n down the phone..pressed a few keys...n i am sure he went to the inbox...n didnt find anything there...or in the outbox or in the sent items...i m not sure he checked the outbox n sent items also...but i had been a lil smart..all the answers were stored in the archives...lol...n i was praying he doesnt get there...finally he said hes gonna keep the cellphone on the desk n hand it over to the exam department later..n i was like..thank god..i am not failing this exam...i had already gotten the answers i needed and now the ph was off n on the table..

i finished my exam...went over to him...pleaded my innocence..apologized for not being careful..took my cellphone back..n walked out..with the biggest smile ever...close shave tho...lol

n now my MBA exams are still on...the cheating still goes on..not that sophisticated tho..but the regular way...writing on the question paper...passing sheets arnd...writing on erasers etc...code words for true n false...etc..n what not...n i am lucky enough to not get caught...

thank u god...u knw i try my best but sometimes the situation demands measures that are out of the ordinary to be taken... :)...

Amen...

feel free to leave ur views in the comments section

PS* : checkout some pics of the place where i am if u havent still done so :)

Nature Nut /JJ Loch said...

maverick, it sounds like it would be easier to memorize the answers as you write them down. I must say the archive file surprised me too. :D

Hugs, JJ

Lena said...

i cheated a lot on exams, especially written tests, but thing is that most exams we had were oral and hard to cheat.
but then everyone knows that students always cheat and exams never show the level of your knowledge :)

maverick said...

@jj...well memorizing a 350+ page book always wasnt the best possible thing to do...
well nokia did a good thing by constant innovations in their phones..lol

cheers!!

maverick said...

i can say that i've never cheated on an exam. i'm too honest and MUCH too anxious to do something like that. they'd see me a mile away. i'd walk in and they'd say, "nope, get out. we know what you're going to do." i have that kind of luck.

I can't lie to save my life. I would have guilt written all up and down my face in bold red letters!
