The return of the Demon

You know what was the worst thing that happened with my room neighbor last fortnight ???

He studied days and nights for the sessionals , slept late , woke up early and gave up on all the possible means of entertainment . To sum it up , he was no sports for those three days and was no better than a living dead . And just the night before the sessional , this news came . We could see it coming for past one week and knew it would happen sooner or later , only that we were not certain about the exact date . The college was closed for the next one week and the hostels were supposed to be shut down within one day , courtesy to “Swine Flu” .

The things built up very nicely that night . As usual , Mr. Nerd was having his private meeting with the books and I was preparing for the next day , when I was supposed to start the preparation for exams  😛   . Right then , a news was spreading very rapidly all over the hostel . A final year guy was tested positive for H1N1 and was sent for a re-test .

We were speculating a reaction from somewhere when a messenger junior came to my room and asked to make my way to the ground . Apparently someone organized a gathering in the ground and within minutes the mass started moving towards the warden’s room . I doubt if warden didn’t considered it a nightmare when he saw around 300 students gathered outside his room at 2 in the night . Immediately chairman was informed and a notice was circulated everywhere . College was closed and sessionals were postponed .

I am still not sure whether it was a fear of H1N1 or the exams that initiated this movement . I guess it was more out of exams than H1N1 . Going by the students’ psychology , they would choose H1N1 over exams anyday . Next day , everyone was home and that too , with an official reason .

“Mom !!! I prepared so hard for the exams and never wanted them to be postponed . But the management didn’t left us with a choice . They all are such bullies  🙁  “
