RajSince I was always a disciplined student, I never had to go see my school’s principal in her office for doing something wrong. I wanted to sail through college with the same unblemished record but as luck would have it, I did have to go see the director of my institute once. And it happened because of a dumb letter I wrote. This is a not-so-long, not-properly-told-cos-I-cant-write-well tale of the letter that haunted me for quite some time.
There was this girl in my class who didn’t speak to anyone in the class and nobody spoke to her cos she was kind of timid (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Lets call her Gehu. She was a weirdo. The legend had it that in a viva in first year, she didn’t answer a single question and later proudly told everyone that the examiners tried a lot but she didn’t open her mouth.
Now one day, in the third semester, during a very boring class of Electrical Measurements, my boredom mixed with my dumbness (dangerous combination, that) caused me to write this letter:
To you,
I hate you.
-From Me.
Dumb, huh?
And thanks to two of my friends, Sameer and Sonal, it made its way to Gehu.
They thought it would be funny. I had my doubts. And I was right.
She cried later that day in her bus (as reported by our bus news bureau chief, Ritu), got her section changed and complained against all three of us to the director. But we only came to know about it a week later when the three of us were asked to go see the director.
Since we figured out why we had been called, we cornered Gehu first and asked her about it. She said that she was really hurt by the letter. We feigned apology and got her to go with us to see the director.
Fortunately for us, the director found this whole thing as dumb as it was and we almost convinced him that she made a big issue out of it cos she wanted to get her section changed (she had tried to do that once before too with no success). Basically, the three of us said that it was just a joke, that we were passing that note to all our friends and we didn’t mean to hurt anyone. We were a little worried though that Gehu might say something in front of the director but guess what she said. C’mon, take a guess? No? Okay. She said nothing!! So the legend must have been true.
So we got off easily with just a small speech about we shouldn’t do something that might hurt someone. But the most important thing in all this was that even though I wrote the letter, in the list of names that Gehu gave to the director, my name was the last. Yes!!
P.S.: I just realized that this post shows my friends and me in a very bad light but we’re really not that bad, especially not me.
I Think Gehu ( what kind of name is that??) should have been happy that others took interest in her, even if it was to say that they hate her. Not everyone write lines for everyone.
Now my turn, visit my blog later for an incident that happened in my 9 th std.
Ahahahaha. But the bad thing is that there is a Gehu in every class who puts the “disciplined” students in trouble.
Electrical Measurements is the most boring subject EVER.
Poor girl,ch,ch. I am with her on this
Good to know that you were good student and never been to principal’s office, but is going there bad ?
I was all the time in Principal, Director and Dean’s office. My parents received letters from all the schools, except the post graduate one(I was an adult by that time) :d
so this means I am a bad guy ? (sob,sob)
Oye, how to use blogroll wala stuff
@yogi: Gehu(n) is the hindi word for wheat. Her real name rhymes with it. Yeah, she shud have been thankful. I made her popular. So what if it was for wrong reasons?
If you want to have a blogroll then you can either make one yourself by editing the sidebar(basic knowledge of HTML required) or get it made from blogrolling.com. Let me know if you need more help with it.
@freeze: Yup, I totally agree. People like her are no fun. Electrical measurements is a boring subject and it is also the subject I scored the lowest in my whole life
@greensatya: I never thought it was a bad thing but my parents did plus i like being good. It comes with lots of incentives.
No need of crying. You are a good boy now, right?
Don’t worry, Raj… I won’t look down on you too much!
awe, poor raj got in trouble…
I never did. Ha!
well, i got a detention once. But it wasnt fair and wasnt my fault. So i went to the Principle to defend myself. He took one look at me and said: “its ok; you dont need to take it.”
@abigail: Thanks for the reassurance.
@becky: Well, nothing reallly happened to me either. Just going to see the director was bad enough. But now I am glad it happened. This might be the most interesting incident of my whole college life. Well, maybe one of two.
Haha!
Real cute this is..
though what a weird thing to do..!!
Next time you’re bored, pick a weirder thing to do :p( cause then we ll have another great blogpost about it!! :D)
@aaki: Cute n weird, yup, thats me. I’ll definitely try doing something weirder in the future if thats what my blogreaders want
you got great blog…specially the colour combination….
belated merry christmas and happy new year in advance…
