DASTAAN-E- RESEARCH FORMS

By Maham Tanveer

“Research form” is one of the mocking techniques planned by KU admin of “forms diaspora”. You FACE different types of forms during KU journey including admission forms – once, fee forms – per semester, objection forms – every time you resolve the objection out but what about these research forms???

You will face these forms while solving math questions, chatting or possibly fighting with your friend, trying to sleep in point or even trying to cross a KU road. I have filled these forms with yellow, orange, red, purple markers just to avoid same questionnaires from same students again and again but in vain!!! It is also not their fault indeed. These are provided by their respective teachers who formulate these in initials of their teaching careers and are well-aware of the results too. Everyone knows the “just-to-fulfill-formality” of these forms but who is going to explain teachers about this?? And I really don’t understand that what is the reason behind assigning a research form to a second semester minor student????

Anyway, if I were to prepare a research form about KU, my form may look like this:

1. Why did you choose KU?

1. You were desperate
2. You are desperate
3. You wanted to be desperate
4. Apki mat mari gaye thi.

2. What do you think, is there a conspiracy that when you go to university, the teacher does not come and when you don’t go, the teacher comes?

7. What is the reason that outsiders enter the university premises so easily?

And now comes the stupid most question!!

9. Do you think that this form will complete my research?
