The Irony of DaDDu…

5th October…..

Start of 2nd semester…

Long faces were ubiquitous in the college.. Why..?

Reason one… We came back from our abodes last night after 1st sem end…

And…the bigger reason for the sorrow n heartache was as soon as we landed in the campus we were handed over the cases for classes starting from 6th october.

Now let me tell u all what are these cases..

Our college follows case study method instead of lecture study method…’Lecture study’ method is the normal traditional way of teaching which generally schools n colleges in this universe follow…But ma college follows case study methodology in which we r reckon to be not just jack rather master of all subjects…to be in possession of a brainbox, of a super encephalon as we are taught nothing…

Yes..we r taught nothing…we r expected to flip over all the cases n …n……..not only the cases but also the books..the heavy fat and blubbered books…. n cum to the class n make a hell of chaos out of the class… Coz we r designated the 40% of our semester marks on the amount of commotion we create in a 1 hour 15 mins class per subject throughout the semester.

So it’s trivial to say that class participation marks are really crucial to secure good grades in the semester….

Now here comes in play The cruel fate …Although we hate to study to the extent we have to or rather say we hate to study at all, we love to do Class participation….but …..but…..here I take the liberty to introduce to all of you the Great DaDDu……

DaDDu as the name suggests he is an old man….A very old man..Probably he should have retired some 50-60 years ago… I reckon he is the oldest man alive on the planet….n….he is a very big competition to one of ma talents….yes he is…..See all of you who know me personally must be aware of the fact that I love to speak….Ok…I speak a lot…I do get remarks like ‘doesn’t ur jaw pains? ’…N ma reply is that jaw never will pain…speaking a lot doesn’t means ur jaw ll pain…its a crappy assumption n view….But trust me guys when DaDDu speaks, he really speaks…Man he speaks thrice in one class as much as do in one day….O yeah..he does speak that much…..he is a speaking tank…he is Brahmos supersonic missile in terms of speaking…..the truth is he doesn’t gives me competition….he beats the hell out of me in that competition…n he really makes me ask a question to ma self…’Does’nt his jaw pains..? ’

He njoys speaking so much that I think it probably affected his brain coz I feel he is a ‘Short term memory loss’ patient..ya he is…. trust me I have reason to say so…He doesn’t remembers your face (forget bout the name) even after teaching you for one whole semester…I ll feed you all with an instance which will nudge you a nod to ma point…..

One day the bubble of desire to bunk the class ballooned n inflated to the point that it exploded…We gave him some fake reason that we have some meeting wid the director n we have to go for it in 15 min…By we I meant I n 4 of ma frnds…as time for our independence came he reconfirmed the quantum of us who attendin the meeting.. I said 5 Sir….He rejoindered Fine..go…and….and……

On his face 10 people left the class…beat that….

I ll provide you all wid one more incident of ma personal triumph of bunking the class which will bound you to fully harmonise wid me that Yes he is Ghajni part 2…

DaDDu takes attendance at the start of the class only an as we don’t learn anything in his class we all desire to bunk out the class after attendance is done…

One fine day I was in full mood n momentum tat I ll bunk out after attendance..I left ma seat n sat on strategic position, a place very close to the door…. attendance winded up …DaDDu started he verbal exploit…I felt the tweak that its ma cue..but then I was stroked by an evil thought…. let’s make it fun…I got up n went out all the way across the whole lecture theatre from one end to another….I went out of the second door which was on the other side of the class….and….and…

Behold…DaDDu didn’t even notice….

But there is one infliction we all feel which I would like to share………….The Irony is we are supposed to do the class participation to secure grades but he doesn’t provides us any instance, any chance on which we could capitalise n have a fate to be lucky enough to do a class participation….he is the only one who speaks in the class n at times we felt that “is he too competing for grades..?”…but now we knw…’Yes , he is’…! There’s a verdict that he is gonna give all ‘A’s to himself…
