The Smiling Assassins – Dwitiya

This post has taken a long time in coming. But better late than never. So without wasting much time, I’ll start with it as too much torture is not good for our readers. The two celebrities on the show today are Mrs. Ravana and Mr. Duryodhana. We’ll start with the former.

Mrs. Ravana tought us in the 3rd semester. Room F 101. The first day, she was five minutes late. We had no clue as to what sort of a creature will enter the premisis of the room. Will it be a real treat for the eye or will it be another six months imprisonment with a barbaric jailor. The answer we soon found out. It had to be the latter one because dear friends, we study in T.I.E.T. The first sight of this vintage piece was somewhat of a misadventure. I mistook her for a “Baayi” thinking she has come to say that your teacher has not come today. But when she stood by the table and said I’m your teacher for this subject, I started cursing myself as to why I chose this stream. Anyways, when she started teaching, we all found her a really nice LADY. Of course it was later that we found out she was infact a LADY-BUG. And a big one too. Since our classes were with CSE students, you can expect anything and everything. The one thing that used to happen in almost every lecture was a group of guys calling attendance for a poor girl. But one incident completely changed everything:

One fine day, this twin of a witch wore a sari in the lecture. The moment she stepped in, the CSE hooligans started whistling, hooting and shouting at the top of their voices. Trust me, you would have done the same for the scene was a bit too horrendous and harmful for normal eye. Her eyes a combination of red and yellow. A frame that would have brought the entire female community to shame. And I don’t want to remember her smile. It was like black magic. Give her a pointed hat and a broom. And lo behold! You have the star of “The Blair WITCH Project”. Now coming back to that sweet day, she started off in her usual fashion, giving us a lecture on how to behave. But the response she got made her even more mad. She said there’s hardly any difference between you people and dogs. Now you would think this would have made the CSE guys quiet. Bingo! Pin drop silence, except sounds of barking from the back benches. She put forward a resolution. She took attendance and said those who want to leave can go. Half class empty. And this was the scene everyday.

In liu of such fine behaviour, she rewarded us very suitably. I wont explain what she did but each and every student was sick of her. In lectures, she asked us if we have any problems. If noone said anything, she would hand pick students and ask them questions. And if some wise guy asked her something, we would come roaring at him, insulting him and saying that you are not attentive in the class.

Thank god I passed her subject with a B grade. The only good thing about it was that the subject was real interesting.


Now Mr. Duryodhana. He tought us in the fourth semester. Well, what can be said about him. He’s one Lean, Mean Killing Machine. I fail to understand why all the teachers keep a moustache. We’ve tried many fundas but all in vain. Anyways, coming back to him, I mentioned in my previous post about these assassins that there is a reason why I called him Mr. Duryodhana. Because his spouse’s name is Ramayana. Lol. He’s spectacled, well built, huge lips – reminiscent to a white African. He walks in a very interesting manner. Chiranjeev gave a very nice theory about it, contact him for details. And he talks as if his tongue has been bitten by an insect and he cant open his whole mouth while speaking. But the one thing he’s so popular for is his attitude. He possesses an evil mind with a complementing abusive tongue. For example once SS wore his army colored lower in his class, Mr. D said why have you come in a Pyjama. He replied all other trousers were not clean, to which Mr. D said in that case you shouldn’t have wore anything at all. And on 23rd March, Bhagat Singh’s martyrdom day, a few guys were wearing Kurta Pyjama. And he threw all of them out saying he’ll let them in only if they change their clothes. And his checking was very confusing. Gave full marks to one person and none to the other, even though the content was same. I passed his subject with great difficulty, with 12 absents in lectures and 4 in tutorials. And trust me, persons having even one attendance shortage were detained. I thank my stars I wasn’t one of them. And one moment needs special mention. On Saturnalia, he was holding his own child on his shoulders as a villager holding his lamb before sacrifice.

I have photographs of both of them, but deliberately haven’t posted them here because I don’t want to lose the few handful visitors to my blog. In fact, even I wouldn’t have the courage to open my own blog in that case.

Well, after bombarding their reputation in such a disgraceful manner, I would like to add that inspite of their rude and super arrogant behaviour, both of them were very good teachers with loads of knowledge about their respective subjects. They didn’t even took help of notes ever while teaching, which is very unlikely in T.I.E.T.

I think nearly all of my posts have been on the negative side. I’ll try writing a nice post now. Don’t know if it’ll come out to be good…….
