Thanks, DJ

One of my classmates is called 'Sherlock Holmes' of our class. I gave her the epithet.The reasons are
DJ, as she is called, is a rather brilliant, hardworking girl.
She is rather thin and I always wonder if she ever eats.
You call her and tell her your problem. She will either tell you how to solve it or will herself solve it within 15 minutes.
She knows the plate numbers of all the cars of all the people in the department. I have reasons to believe that she knows the numbers of all the cars in the college too.
She is brilliant at making deductions. For example, she can tell the number of members in a family by merely looking at the stuff kept in a car.
She knows the entire gossip making rounds in the college. So, the chances are nil that you get to tell her anything new.

She is our last resort when it comes to asking doubts regarding anything under the sun even remotely connected to academics. "DJ, has the teacher B come to college today?", "DJ, can you tell me the date on which the company X asked our seniors to join?", "DJ, which is the most prestigious medal in Mathematics?", "DJ, how do you solve this problem?", "DJ, can you teach me the third module of Control Systems tomorrow in 45 minutes?"

I was the one who asked that last question to her on the day before The Control Systems examination. Third module consists of the design part - both analog and digital design. It includes PI, PD and PID, phase lead, lag and lead-lag compensator design in both analog and digital design.
I had tried reading the stuff, but it was really difficult to understand how Kuo had designed it. He had just drawn the Bode plots for some questions and arrived at the answer.

I will admit before anyone that I hate to draw. Thanks to my drawing teacher in third standard who was rather nasty towards me, I hate it. Not even five years under a rather brilliant drawing and painting teacher could cure me of my abhorrence. I hate to take the pencil up for drawing a line.

And Bode plot is one of my pet hates.However, I don't mind drawing the Nyquist plot or the root-locus. So I have no rational reason for my hatred towards that wonderful method of plotting the frequency and phase response, I find.

I reached the college at 8:30. I did not have much faith in myself. I left everything to God. He alone could save me.

DJ taught me the third module in 30 minutes. The Control Systems paper was easy. We could hardly believe our luck! The ITC and Microwave papers were difficult. So this was a relief.
I did the questions in third module as well.

Thank God for DJ!
