Well, there is no end to learning… then why should there be a beginning? I had asked this question to almost every one of my friends and they had no clue. That made me more confident and my instincts got much stronger, ‘I won’t begin my studies…’
I believed in miracles so much to the extent that I believed without slogging late nights I’ll still get good ranking! So while others went to temples to pray for that miracle, I got hooked up with my madness. Except for Mr. Foker, no one allowed us to be seated in the class for more than 10 minutes. Days had come when we used to step out voluntarily as the teachers stepped in. Now, that’s what I call pro-activeness!
It was mathematics class and the teacher was very particular about discipline. As he was closely watching everyone while he spoke, he noticed madness glued to her book.
‘Will you stand up, please?’ ordered the gutsy man. She didn’t stand, instead gave a silly smile. He went up to her to see what she was reading. To his surprise it was a magazine that she was reading. He snatched the book and yelled… ‘Get out of here!’
‘Sir, I’m not the only one. He’s also reading a magazine…’ she pointed at me. Mr. Mathematics was so confident of my studiousness that he instantly asked me to get lost before checking.
‘What’s so great in taking already intelligent kids and make them toppers?’ she asked.

‘That’s why you and I should’ve been in a government school.’ I answered.
‘But I like this school. Look at this lawn. No one comes and disturbs us!’
‘Yes, while others are seriously working to enjoy their future we are enjoying our present!’
‘Let’s go and have pani-puri… please!’ she almost begged.
‘You couch potato. We’ll sit here only. Next class is lab, we’ll have some fun’
It was chemistry lab and almost no-one had thrown us out of laboratories. We hadn’t realized we were actually good at ‘some’thing! The lab attendant was never helpful to anyone other than Riya. ‘If just Riya attends the lab and gives a proxy on behalf of 80 others, everyone would get attendance.’ This was a known fact right from the 1st day. While he was busy teaching her one by one everyone started walking out of the lab. At the end of the class it was only Riya and the attendant but everyone was marked present!
Madness was angry with him and had promised to teach him a lesson. She had replaced water with concentrated H2SO4 in the burette. As he came close to Riya to teach the next experiment, he went on to stir the burette before someone held his hand from behind…
