Based on a true incident

The first lecture in the morning was of Prof. Subramanyam , one of the most , if not the most boring lecturer in the institute . Whether he used to address the students or keep mumbling to himself was still a big mystery . The 55 minutes of his lecture were nothing less than slow poison . As soon as the attendance part was over , students used to wait for him to turn his back towards the class , and there goes a complete row out of the auditorium .

Raman (name changed), with his friends entered the auditorium , only to find the first two rows occupied the ever so studious girls . The boys knew that occupying the third row would be nothing less than a suicide . So , as a sign of generosity the boys occupied a row somewhere in middle and left the rows in between for others . Few moments later , there came another bunch of students . They appeared to be even more generous . They occupied the very last row , leaving even more room for other students .

But expect the unexpected , the next creature to enter the class was professor himself . It looked like a mass bunk was planned and a few unlucky ones were left uninformed . The professor took the podium and looked at the class .

Prof : The structure of the class looks a bit strange today . Don’t you all think so ?

No one said anything . The professor continued …

Prof : The front row looks to be made up of students following the ideology ” We don’t know anything and we want to learn everything” .

Prof : The last row looks to be made up of students follwoing the ideology ” We know everything and we don’t want to learn anything ” .

Prof : But the part that’s a bit strange for me is the middle row . I can’t make out what kind of students this row is made up of .

Raman , without giving a second thought , replied ” Sir , neither do we know anything , nor are we interested in learning anything . “

Professor was stunned at the reply . The whole class was looking at him . The poor guy was suspended for one month . Once again someone paid a price for being honest . Please hold a silence of 2 minutes for that brave guy .

The latest news from the centre is that the demon is awake and is threatening to cause a destruction at a massive scale . The vendetta is again threatening to rise its head and if its not subdued as soon as possible , we will have only ourselves to blame for the aftermath .

I was pulled out of my nightmares by Bryan Adams singing at top of his voice . Waking up , I glanced at the clock . It was quarter to nine . Taking a look at the clock is the first thing that I do in the morning . Not because I am punctual or something . It’s just that I get to know how much can I still sleep . “Early to bed and early to rise” is rarely applicable to me .

So the clock said “quarter to nine” thereby meaning that no more than half an hour was what I was left with to complete my sleep . Mumbling and still dozing , I picked up the call . It was one of my class mates who was on the other side of call . Taking care not to left out even a single trace of rudeness out of my voice I threw these words at him “What the hell do you think you are doing by calling me this early in the morning?” (I know majority will contradict to the fact that quarter to nine is very early in the morning ) .

Anyways , the next few words he said was nothing less than magical . I could hardly believe my ears . As soon as he told me “It’s a whole day bunk today . So , sleep tight “ , I was out of this world . Was I dreaming ? I pinched myself to be assure of the fact that I was awake and kicking . At that point , I could have awarded that guy all my lands and possessions (i.e. if I had any) for delivering that sweet news to me . I knew what was awaiting me . An unrestricted alarm free sleep for a minimum of a couple of hours ( 9 – 12 is the golden period to sleep , not to forget that most of the things you dream in this period often comes out to be true )

Two hours later , I pulled myself up , after all the efforts to go back to sleep went fruitless . With toothbrush in my hand ( Yes , I brush my teeth daily ) , as I made my way across the lobby , I noticed that all the rooms were locked . The HOD or the warden was not on a round today . So, the possibility that everyone has locked himself in their room was certainly cancelled out . After all , I didn’t lock myself up and was still not escorted to my class by a tail-less monster .

Skeptical about the whole scenario , I came back to my room . The clock displayed 11:30 . I checked my inbox . No messages . If the bunk was cancelled , someone would have informed me at least . Conjuring all the possibilities that could have resulted into the locked rooms , I hoped against all the hopes that everything was on a right track .

The clock displayed 1:15 . The break during the two halves . The news was that the former CR of our class , along with his friends , suddenly discovered his appetite for revenge and was solely responsible for cancellation of bunk . Apparently , he was unable to digest the fact that he was dethroned from his position by a unified opposition . It looked like God appeared in his dreams last night and enlightened him by informing that the sole purpose for which he was here in the engineering college is to study and there was no logical reasoning supporting a whole day bunk .

Somehow , after a number of counseling sessions , we managed to convince him to skip a class or two for “ The Greater Good “ . But the incident had done enough to light the spark . The other section of the class , consisting of nerds and day scholars , decided that it was a pre planned attack to deprive them of the four golden lectures which could have made their life . They were looking for an excuse to attend the classes , and now they got it .

“Backstabbing” , they said . “Double cross” , they said . “Vendetta” they said .

Now they will fight among themselves.They will search for a chance to take revenge . They will attend all the classes . They will continuously struggle amongst themselves , bombarding each others’ compartments . But who will be responsible for our sufferings in this sanguinary battle ? Who will be responsible if the innocent ones are detained for short attendance ? Who should be held responsible for our misfortune ? Who ????? . Only time will tell what it has in store for us .

Second sessionals are going on . Having not appeared for the first sessionals , its really important for me to score good marks in DBMS this time around . But here I am . Instead of struggling with SQL , I am spending my time here , chatting , blogging , and blah-blah-ing at twitter .

You know what I used to be two years back in intermediate ??? I was like , say , even if there was an exam next week , its time to spend some a lot of  time with the books ????  No television , no time pass , no nothing … and excuse me , what is Internet ?? A classic example of a study bug … a mugger . Had it not been the desk rotation policy in classes , I guess I would have been a first bencher all the way . And guess what … I secured 100% attendance in High School and was also awarded “Most Disciplined Student” ( Disciplined ??? ahemm ahemm…).  Elected as a captain twice in a row ,  92.8% in Xth , 94% in XIIth , my teachers still set my case as an example for the juniors .

And now , two years from then , I have totally turned into a study repellant creature . What has got into me ?? Is this the transition from school to college ?? Can’ be . I still find the existence of a number of muggers here. They study , study , study , study and study ( just like I used to do ) . And when I tag them “book worms” I realize that two years back , someone would have tagged me with the same title too . Is that the reason ( the fear of being mocked at ) that has transformed a mugger ?? Or is this caused due to the lack of parent’s supervision in hostel ?? God only Knows !!!

Now as exams approach , everyone seems to be reminding me a few things again and again …..

• Semesters are approaching . Start studying now . ( As if studying would delay the semesters )

• Books are supposed to be your best friend ( I thought Dog was my best friend ) .

• Don’t construct any destructive plans of cheating in theory exams ( cheats are only to be used in practicals ) .

• Put a halt to your online activities for some time . No one will hack your account during your absence . ( Me and my hackophobia )

• No Counter Strike . No NFS . No AOE for few days . ( That’s just a game . You don’t need to escape a hot pursuit . Neither are the terrorists planting a bomb under your nose )

• Facebook is your enemy . Twitter is monstrous . Orkut is banned anyway .

• Stop posting nonsense on your blog for few days . There is no need to reveal your insanity to the whole world .
