I woke up to open the front door, expecting another friend with a one Kg packet of sweets.
It was time for breakfast.
But I was disappointed to find the postman delivering a telegram, which read -
YOU HAVE BEEN APPOINTED AS AN EXAMINER
IN THE SUBJECT OF XYZ AT THE THIRD MBBS
EXAMINATION OF THE BOMBAY UNIVERSITY
REGISTRAR
BOMBAY UNIVERSITY
For a moment,
I was thrilled.
Me ? An Examiner ?
This week had been too good for me.
But then, a sad realisation came before my mind.
Now I knew, why all the students were attending my Clinics so regularly ...
And Why those selfish cheats,
were laughing so much at my jokes.
The next thought depressed me further.
These students had been attending my Clinics .. for last Two weeks !!
How in the world, did they come to know that I was a Examiner - 15 days before me ?
It was a day of depression for me.
When the students laughed during ny Clinic, I could feel the sickness of my jokes....
... The more they laughed, the more annoyed I got.
" You students have come for "Face Presentation" here," I said angrily, " But I will see to it that you will leave my table with a Breech presentation at the Exams. "
But alas ! Students laughed for this also.
Next day, the dream began like the very first one, with two relatives and three friends. I only prayed that they wouldn't ask for those sweets they had forgotten last time, because I had already finished them. ( Phokatka maal ). Luckily, they didn't ask for their packet of sweets ....
But the conversationtook a different turn today.
