srini unplugged

as priory is filled wid terribly amusing anecdotes bout ramu sir, i thought i shud provide sum enlightenment bout his industrious,illustrious sibling.


srinivasan

actually,its sottai.

sitting in economics class is horrifyingly amusing...horrifying because of his 'innovativeness'(yes he says tat) in the english language which is ...well...very..um...innovative and amusing because of the shakira-type movements he lets loose now and then(we get a live video of 'hips don lie' everyday)...

a typical scene in economics class

all of us fighting over the unfairness of sitting in the first bench in sottai's class...requires real guts and courage...to brave 2 hours of 'ok ma' is no piece of cake.

and the squabbling stops abruptly due to the breathtaking entry of srinivasan.

srinivasan: what were u doin ma?

usual victim(me): nothing sir

sottai: now ma, this is wat i dont like in this class. ur strengths are ur unity and diversity. if u lose that uniqueness,then it will be tough during the later periods in ur life. whatever happens,i must be the first one to know. u can confide in me(wrings his hands and presses them 2 his chest with a stricken expression on his face); am here 2 aid in ur improvement........and it goes on 4 15 minutes...now tell me ma, what happened?( looking at me with wat he percieves 2 b a fatherly expression on his face.the entire effect is quite revolting, i tell u)

me: no sir i wanted to listen to ur scintillating lecture.thought i wud do it better if i sat in the first bench( irritation showing itself thro sarcasm)

sottai: no ma 4 that u shud hav told me no??????? i wud hav been extremely glad to help u out....(fake-dejected expression)

me: fighting 2 control my laughter
sottai: ok ma....now listen ma u have to start preparing for your next assignment( once he told us wen all our assignments 4 the term was over).... this term is a very short term ma...u shud not allow 'biasedness' to cloud ur work ma...avar(our) papers are 'quite of good standard'ma....

me: running mentally thro my sin list....pretty long...ha tat explains it!!! i smile,pleased wid my discovery

smile spotted.
sottai( giving me a strange twisted smile, a very visually intriguing thing): avar(our) lakshmi madam(ugh!) is very bold,very confident ma all of u shud b bold ma...illena vazhkaila romba kashtam(usually a substitute for the immediate non-availability of valid points).....ok now!!!!!!!!!!!( screams dis)

takes class.

us taking notes.(sum of us)

sottai: no ma no ma.... don take notes...i will write dem n pass it on.u will all b verrrrrrrrrrry comfortable.(the wringing and pressing action again)

stony faces.

sottai: now listen ma..........a 20 minute speech on why the chicken crossed the road( or any other highly important topic)

we catch up on sleep.

sottai:ok ma?? any doubts anywhere?

no reaction.

sottai:no doubts nowhere.

and it continues...he warms up during the fag end of the class...and bless him takes our break periods for sum economics....

us wondering about our past lives.

and den he does a jump off the table.

gives us a jolt.
sottai: ok ma, meet later.
and scratches the bald patch on his head, probably wondering why we seemed so hazy.

i say: if u havnt figured that out in all these years, then theres no hope,buddy.
