Practical Sessions

Aaaahhhh….There she is. Finally I caught her exploring the most treasured corners in the kitchen. It took me 3 days, 5 hrs & 40 odd minutes to grab hold of her. Gupta ji would be reassured to know this as he has been having a bloodcurdling time of his life sleeping around (;)) with a female cockroache. Don’t ask me why I refer her as female cockroache. It’s just a gut feeling that she is female. Actually I have a reason which suggests so. She orbits around Dada’s notes but seems to have some kind of an allergy from Swagatika’s books. (Pinki, you left some books here only. Those two gigantic bags could not carry all of them! Kitna padhti hai. :O).  Anyway the cockroach took me to my intermediate & graduation days & reminded me of some really funny & embarrassing moments. Some of them are listed below.

1.       Deliberately connecting a wrong circuit & then allowing electricity to flow through it just to result in a complete power failure much to the delight of all fellow mates.

2.      Argument with the external examiner in the annual practical exam. She made me realize that I literally knew nothing & I made her realize that she was one hell of a filthy person that I had ever seen. (Mean but tit for tat was the necessity of the hour)

3.      Mixing two contradictory chemicals in a small test tube & creating a new gas which ignites instantly in the practical lab but nobody gets to know the culprit. (secret revealed)

4.      Threatening the lab assistant for not saying the chemical’s/salt’s name in the exam (Roz tyre puncture honge sir…abhi aap hi dekh lo)

5.      Chemistry external asking about family background & mileage of Pulsar as compared to Splendor in the viva-voce & ultimately giving 49 out of 50.

6.      Paying juniors (Rs 100 per record) to complete the practical records with all the diagrams & then using own manipulation skills to get it signed.

7.      Deliberately answering wrong when asked about the botanical names of some plants. (I remember saying a plant as “Panthera tigris”….this is the name for tiger.)

8.      Coming up with the liver of the toad when asked for its heart.

9.      A frog jumping after getting half dissected. (scared the hell out of me)

10.   Getting to sit beside two hottest girls of the batch & never getting to even flirt once.
