A Dream Class

I am not Shakespeare. But then i dont need to be one to write this post. Normally, I am the kind of guy who would sit through a important lecture in rapt attention. But this one day, i was really tired. It was the last period and we had just come back from games and to make matters worst it was sucking biology. With nothing better to do i decided to look around and check what other students were up to when the atmosphere was so soporific.
As soon as we arrived back from games some guys and some girls made a dash for the last benches. The fight was over in a jiffy and the losers retreated to find the next best thing to last benches. The lecture began and the last-benchers had already dozed off. Shockingly this list included Aradhana - a very keen bio student and one of the toppers.
Five minutes into the class and a war had already started. The two armies were located at the left and right flanks of the class. The Maratha regiment was led by Albert and the Gorkha tigresses by Rajkumari. The weapons used were paper bombs and planes. Because of their limited stocks, chalks were sparingly used but they inflicted maximum damage on the opposition.
Hiding their Barron's and flash-cards under their notebooks were a group of wannabe toppers.
It included Sharma - The broken hearted phoenix and Saurav sen - the Jadoo.(remember that hrithik film on alien)
Behind them sat Jayanta- the complete muggu and Vineet - the so called maths genius.
and behind them sat a group of hardcore oglers , BND and Y.S. ,currently preoccupied in ogling at a (pun intended )supermodel, and a silent baruah. (Vineet was shuttling between pleasing(let your imagination run wild) Jayanta and engaging with this duo.)
Occupying the first bench was a Baniya who tried to show how great she was but actually making us vomit.
Behind her sat the parrot, Banu (doubtanu) - whose doubts never ceased such that she herself was a doubt. :P
At the extreme right sat Wahid and his gang. (the RAW has an easy way to prevent any terror attacks by contacting him straight away. He is the bomb maker who uses chalk powder to deliver a powerful concoction of deadly bombs)
At the last Myself and Bitopan who were engrossed in dissecting the latest news in town and movie world while engaging in the ongoing fight by providing valuable strategical outputs.
Till then even R. Tiger the teacher hadnt lasted. She was already showing her skills in teaching by sleeping and giving the lecture at the same time.(I say no one can match her)

Etch a sketch, when have I started leading maratha regiments and and gorkha what..
man this is a kinda assault, this is blasphemy.
I dozed off hundreds of times in that class and never could have led an army and where does rajkumari come from, I didn't even know she existed or anyone did, all thanks to R.D.,she can make Newyork(the city that never sleeps) fall in deep slumber.
Now since you have linked to some blogs,ask them to kindly return the favour. top
