' THESE 2 MONTHS, U SHOULD DO ONLY ONE THING' - THE TUTOR'S VOICE RESONATED THROUGHOUT THE ROOM. WITH THE MICROPHONE STILL BEFORE HIS MOUTH, HE COUGHED...I FELT THE ROOM WAS GOING TO BE BLASTED.
'IN THESE 2 MONTHS, U SHOULD DO ONLY ONE THING' HE REITERATED. I WAS WONDERING- WHAT IS THIS THING WHICH WILL KEEP US OCCUPIED FOR 2 MONTHS? I WAS ACTUALLY HAPPY, NOW THAT I CAN ATLEAST DO SOMETHING IN THIS 2 MONTHS OF MY 4 MONTH VACATION.
'IN THESE 2 MONTHS, U SHOULD DO ONLY ONE THING - THINKING IN JAVA' FINALLY THE TUTOR COMPLETED HIS SENTENCE.
'THINKING IN JAVA - HEY, I KNOW THIS BOOK MAN..... DO U MEAN, WE SHOULD READ THAT BOOK WITHIN THESE 2 MONTHS?' I WAS THINKING FOR MYSELF FOR I DINT HAVE THE OPTIMISM OF SHOUTING FROM THE 20TH ROW AND EXPECT A REPLY.
' YOU SHOULD BREATHE JAVA, YOU SHOULD EAT JAVA, YOU SHOULD DRINK JAVA, YOU SHOULD SLEEP IN JAVA. YOUR WORLD JAVA’S CITIZEN' - HE WAS GOING ON.
I WAS REMINDED OF AN OLD AD I USED TO SEE WHENEVER CRICKET MATCHES WERE AIRED ON THE TELLY.
'THERE ARE SOME RULES TO BE FOLLOWED HERE...' -HIS TONE RAISED.
RULES ARE THERE TO BE BROKEN, I THOUGHT, REMINDED OF THE SONG -'BREAK THE RULES!'
'YOU SHOULD BE ON TIME....'
BUT WILL U BE ON TIME? I THOUGHT LOOKING AT MY WATCH....HE WAS MORE THAN HALF AN HOUR LATE FOR THE VERY FIRST CLASS.
AFTER A BIT OF HOMILY ON DISCIPLINE, PUNCTUALITY, SINCEREITY AND LIVING IN JAVA, HE STOPPED FOR A MINUTE. LOOKED AROUND, LOOKED AT HIS COMPUTER AND SUDDENLY SHOUTED - 'HEY! DONT TOUCH THAT PROJECTOR'
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHO WAS HE SHOUTING AT AMONG THE 250 ODD CROWD...OFCOURSE, CERTAINLY IT WASN'T ME FOR I WAS FAR AWAY FROM IT...MUST BE SOMEONE AMONG THE GUYS THERE.
'THIS PROJECTOR COSTS AROUND 2 LAKHS, U SEE.' HE SAID. I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT.
HERE, IT BEGAN .... I HAVE BEEN SUSPECTING ITS ARRIVAL EVER SINCE I ENTERED THE CLASS. IN ALL THESE YEARS OF STUDENT LIFE, IT NEVER LEFT ME, ESPECIALLY IN THE CONFINEMENTS OF THE FOUR WALLS OF THE CLASSROOM. HERE IT BEGAN-MY FIRST YAWN. MY FIRST YAWN ENTERED THE ROOM. YAWNS ARE CONTAGIOUS YOU SEE.....THE PERSON BESIDE ME ALSO YAWNED.
