Why God, Why ?


A few kids were playing cricket, while Bachchan was rambling through the condensed streets of Chennai. And.. Smack! The ball hit him in the groin. He walked away quietly, trying his best to suppress the pain, while the kids laughed their asses off.
It was four past noon and he had completely forgotten about his lecture at a junior college in the city. For starters, this person knew nothing about his subject. It took him 20 minutes to reach his classroom.
“Good Evening everyone!”, Bachchan said, as he entered the class. “Off-Off-Off-Off”, whispered the entire class in a perfect rhythm. Well, this is not the kind of welcome you want after being hit in the groin. He ignored the boos. 
“So relative motion.. !”, Bachchan started with his subject.
“Motion.. Motion may have a different appearance as viewed from a different frame..”, Bachchan stammered, as he looked into his fat textbook to complete the sentence. “.. of reference”, he continued.
“Pch.. Pch.. Pch.. Pch”, the students started again. He kept staring at the students, and asked a few to change their positions. Whispers grew louder, and Bachchan's patience just touched the roof.
“Sssshhhhhhhhhhhh.. Sssshhhhhhhhhh”, this was Bachchan's first move to get back at his students.
He resumed, “Motion may have a different appearance as viewed..”.
“Sir, no offence, but you're just saying the same thing again”, one of the students interrupted.
“Go to last bench and keep standing there”, Bachchan responded, and this was his second move.
“But.. but what did I do ?”, asked the student.
“Don't argue, do what is said or leave the class immediately”, he said.
The class remained quiet for the next 30 minutes, and he did manage to teach some things about Relative Motion. But this was Bachchan, no one could really stand this man. A couple of guys started whispering some old Hindi songs. This distracted Bachchan, but he continued to pretend ignorance.
Later he started discussing some physics problem, “.. so the equation is sin 45 * velocity / distance”. “Shouldn't it be cos 45 ?”, one of the students asked. “Oh yes, it should be cos 45, not sin.. good good”, he applauded the kid, as others giggled.
Towards the end of the lecture everyone started moaning, making different sounds of mockery, banging desks, banging pens on desks -
“Thud Thud Thud”
“Thunk Thunk Thunk”
“Pch Pch Pch”
Bachchan finally gave up. He had no other option but to request the class to stop this. The sounds weakened gradually, as he left.
He went straight to the bus stop, where he could finally breathe some non-sarcastic air. This did not last long, as an over-crowded bus arrived. Some men were hanging by the door, some having one foot in the bus and the other foot feeling the gravity. He did manage to get into it, and reached the front end of the bus. Bachchan struggled his way to reach his back pocket, only to discover - he had just got mugged. The conductor politely asked him to leave.

He kept walking.. walking towards the sunset. Depressed and frustrated with the on-going things, he threw his fat physics textbook into the ocean. He looked at the sky, and yelled as loud as he could - "WHY GOD, WHY ?"
The next day, he woke up to find a rare unread message on his phone. The message said -
“Meet me near the wash room on the 4th floor of the Biology Department, if you want things to change”
No, that was not Morgan Freeman from Bruce Almighty, that was just another prank by one of his students.

A Word Called Basic.

        I believe this should be the most hated word of the century. And that’s because it never lives up to its dictionary meaning. Its dictionary meaning - “1. Forming an essential foundation, 2. Consisting of the minimum required”. It's always associated with something complicated. Almost all students and teachers in this world use the word ‘basically’ probably every time they start talking about something. For instance, when a teacher asks a student to explain a certain thing, the student will always start like this- “Basically its blah blah.. aa.. blah.. aa.. blah. So basically its blah and aaa.. ummm.. blah”. Its time, we should think about some new way to start with, while saying something. But why do I hate this word so much? Is it because I’ve heard it a million times or is it because it’s a part of a subject’s name called ‘ Basic Electronics Engineering ’. Oh, and ‘Basic Mechanical Engineering’ too.       ...

India for a Girl

    Time:- 12 a.m.     Venue:- An empty street, India.     Scene:- A young girl and a less-than-innocent looking stranger(a man), walking down the road. In what  way is the girl expected to act in such a situation? She has no idea who the person is, whether he’s drunk, depressed, pissed with the world or just some random guy with no bad intension. Something really unfortunate and disturbing happened in Guwahati last week, which was nothing less than a catastrophe. This made me think, “What is India for a girl?” or “What a girl should expect from a stranger constantly staring at her?” These questions do have answers. And these answers will put India in the dark shadow of hypocrisy yet again. A certain part of an Indian will still say, “It was the girl’s mistake.. She shouldn’t have been there at that time”, while overlooking the 30 odd people who molested her. Why is that, people first talk about ‘the way she was dressed’ or...

"Inauspicious" to be a widow?

One of these days, I'm going to write a book full of random rules on how to live. I'll be a bit cryptic, to make it seem meaningful and serious. All rules will be in the form of complex poetry. Because, why not? And I'm going to bury the book a long way under the ground. A hundred years from now, some one will find this book. They'll decipher the rules. They'll sing the songs. They'll make some more around it. They'll create another religion. More chaos. Sounds fun right? Or sadist? Last week, I came across this tweet-   "According to the Skanda Purana , widows are more inauspicious than all other inauspicious things " My ignorance led me to assume that "Skanda Purana" is a person, a politician, I guessed. It's actually some religious text. Either way, I'm not surprised with a statement as outrageous as this. I don't have the whole context of it and I'm least interested in knowing more about it. What I know for sure is...
