Classes held in the lavatory - dedicated to Nero
Today is the 10th of Febraury, 2006, the date of birth of my dear friend N - Happy Birthday 'Nero'! Many happy returns of the day! This post is dedicated to Nero the Burning!!
It is bad enough that our HoD resorted to marks for attendance to bring students to class - after all he beleives that students should be brought to class - contrast these views with mine - every student has a right to go or to decide not to go to class at the peril of his future - but it went beyond that when he suggested that he was interested in a full attendance in other courses as well.
He takes the 9-10 class, disallows those who bunk 8-9 class, and leaves late - I mean he keeps standing outside the class to make sure students don't leave the class after 10.
The day I am about to speak of began with this backdrop. Sharp at 10, our HoD went out, leaving an entire stream of students ready to fly out of the class - only to find him waiting for them! The unlucky ones got caught, the lucky ones beat a hasty retreat - the luckier ones made it - in the nick of time - to the toilet.
Friends N and N2 were lucky to get to the toilet. Other friends, call them A1 through An hastily ran up a flight of stairs to wait for the HoD to move to his classroom. Annoyingly the HoD stayed outside.
Five minutes passed ... then ten ... then fifteen ... the next teacher came in for the Communication Systems class ... in the class, we started following his lecture ... and still the HoD didn't move. Or, rather, he did. He moved forward, straight towards the toilet.
Friends N and N2 were horrified. N found time to retreat inside, but N2 didn't stand a chance. Without second thoughts, N2 stepped over to the urinal.
The HoD did not enter the toilet ... thank goodness ... he walked passed. This was the time... a bound, a rush and the fleet was gone... free at last, back in the real world!
Time for reflections
So, now we ponder upon a few points - like if it was really worthwhile to spend that time in the bathroom? There are many more such questions, we'll not get into the what-if question sets, however.
What courses did N learn from the lavatory class? Will he be regular to classes once again, like he once used to be? Will the lost glory of N be resurrected? I sincerely hope so. At the very least, I hope he has learnt lessons of civil constructions from the urinals. Will quiz him on materials used for tiling today, what do you say, Nero?
