Those 12 days!
My compensation classes began on May 18 with a lot of ridicule from my friends.Many guys called me up from home-"Hi da!On the way to college uh?So sad of you da(snigger)!am watching TV now!A can of juice in one hand,remote in the other and IPL on the screen.Heaven da!I don't want to irritate you anyways!Bye!TC".
In fact,the screwing started the night before on bus."Villu" started running on the TV.Two guys got down immediately.("We will wait and board some other bus").I had no patience.So I cupped my ears and concentrated on "Outlook"."Rama Rama Rama Raman kita villa keten"-I threw away the magazine and almost cried.For "Villu" and the 2 weeks ahead.
The first day of class accentuated my fears.Communication skills-The teacher started teaching us how to write letters."Write your "from" address on the left hand..".I felt like running out.Then an exercise was given.Prose comprehension.Should have been given for 4th grade students."Data Structures"-A subject ECE students studied in the 4th semester.It was annoying to hear words like "Queue","Stack" one more time.In Human Resource Management,we were being taught "Motivation".We were sleeping.God(or whoever) was hitting back for the classes we bunked in the 4th semester.
The next few days started getting better.In hostel,It was IPL or "English,August" or seniors.In class,we made interesting friends from other departments.Some Mechanical guys had an amazing sense of humour.Sitting in the last row and passing comments.Me,Vimal and Ajith laughed our heads off in one DS class.We made thought-provoking presentations,impromptu speeches(Mine was on Fake IPL player) and innovative advertisements.
On the last day,we wrote purposeless exams(One guy wrote just his name and gave the paper back).Our course got over.One class guy called me up from home."It's so boring here in home.Same TV,Same dances!Torture da!BTW,what did they give you for your compensation classes?!".A hint of pride in my voice-"10 new friends!"
The worst of things always has something great hidden in it.God cannot hit back at people who don't believe in God.
YA!classes are always fun da!
