Multimedia Systems Design, by Andleigh and Thakrar, Prentice Hall India.
Disgusting.
Sickening.
Third rate pile of incomprehensible, disjointed, incoherent shitty nonsense.
And that ain't the half of it.
At some point between the 19th and 23rd of May, every single final year computer engineer of Mumbai University will open this terrible tome and be bodily plunged into a pool of miserable melancholia. Most of them are already six feet under and sinking fast. Some have already succumbed and are nothing more than brain dead zombies. Many of those who are not will be before the exam ends. Only the toughest will emerge with their sanity. Not a single one will emerge unscathed.
Yeah, the book is terrible. It's the worst piece of writing we MU engineers have ever seen, and we've seen books so bad they kill people. This crappy book goes off on tangents, wanders aimlessly around the point, repeats the same thing over and over, and then suddenly drowns you in a deluge of useless specifications and technical details. There is not a hint of a unifying principle anywhere.
To the insane idiots in charge of deciding what we budding engineers will learn - take my advice and jump in a dry well. Head first. Preferably with your asses on fire. You're so useless it's almost pathetic. What kind of dream world you inhabit is beyond me, but perhaps you should come down to earth and look at the stuff we're being taught, and just how royally you've screwed it up.
And for god's sake, read the textbooks you prescribe for us. Three times, at least. I don't care how much you suffer. It will save millions of engineering students a lot of pain. Your puny lives are worthless in comparison. Not that they weren't worthless to begin with.
Andleigh and Thakrar - we hate your book. It sucks so bad it's worse than quicksand.
And without further ado, back to work. It's a dirty job, but the bastards in charge don't give you a choice. I shall suffer silently now, keeping in mind the fact that soon, it will be over. I'll be rid of their painful meddling once and for all.
*Gives the finger to aforementioned bastards*
I would say good night, but we know that would just be a lie. Bad night, then. Make the best of it.
PS: I'm not overreacting. It really is that bad.

its google right..
heheh :) There is atlest one book per semester like this (CrAppy!)
WHY the fuck dont they come to the point?
Hey man, how have u been? Its a little strange with me leaving a comment on such an old post, but I could not resist posting a comment here.
I completely agree with your opinion about "Thakrar"( the name by which it is known in most colloquial conversations). I just gave my final semester examinations last month, and killing myself would have been less painful than reading through Thakrar.
I couldn't believe the twists and turns in that book when i first read it. I blamed myself and thought myself to be extremely stupid to not have understood ANY of the 2nd chapter when I first read it. The next time I tried to make sense of it, I realised... It wasn't my fault at all. Its a terrible book. Worse than any other.
