An aspiring Engineer at work.

The Prof. comes to class. He stands at the dais waiting for the kill. Young minds brace themselves for another war. They have defeat written all over their faces. Can they last? The words start coming like arrows. They will not last long.Its time. One by one, their heads fall down. They did not even fight, it was matter of seconds and all that lay in the battlefield were closed minds.
The jet of arrows stopped for a second, the smoke cleared and there was a young mighty boy. His head rose like a soldier. He was the last man standing, a true knight who won the battle for the whole of student-kind. He came prepared to class with a pillow and a book 'Plays by Mahesh Dattani'. He is there in everyone of you, open your eyes to close them. It better to sleep knowingly rather than unkowingly.

Why?
My dad always told me ' excellence is the only pursuit that is worth the effort'. I believe that soft pillows are excellent compared to hard wooden benches.

When?
I was sleeping in my room. My room-mate woke me up and asked me to attend the lecture. I decided to continue my precious sleep over there. I love the blue fluffy cover.

What?
This word followed by a few words about my inefficiency, aimlessness, goalessness etc. will be my dad's reaction when he sees this picture.

Why again?
Won myself 50 bucks, got publicity, made people laugh, had fun!

Where?
MSMT (Machining science and Machine tools, i think i've got it right). I pity the prof. but i just hate the subject. I automatically get up when number 36 answers his roll call. i am 37.

Hope, i inspired a lot of youngsters. the Prof. promised a 3 hour lecture one saturday. It's tough to smuggle in a mattress to class unnoticed.


Reasons i'd thought i'll give if i had been caught

- It was lying in the class, it is not mine.He'll believe cos' no one can believe that students will come to class equipped with a pillow.

- I have osteoperosis. My bones are too brittle and they might crumble when rested against hard surfaces.

- Tell him the truth, get suspended even worse expelled. Then go on and change the history of the world. Years later, people will talk about this incident and loads of people will get inspired. Realisation will dawn to them, that life is not all about marks and a job.
