Trouble Trouble

Based on a true incident

The first lecture in the morning was of Prof. Subramanyam , one of the most , if not the most boring lecturer in the institute . Whether he used to address the students or keep mumbling to himself was still a big mystery . The 55 minutes of his lecture were nothing less than slow poison . As soon as the attendance part was over , students used to wait for him to turn his back towards the class , and there goes a complete row out of the auditorium .

Raman (name changed), with his friends entered the auditorium , only to find the first two rows occupied the ever so studious girls . The boys knew that occupying the third row would be nothing less than a suicide . So , as a sign of generosity the boys occupied a row somewhere in middle and left the rows in between for others . Few moments later , there came another bunch of students . They appeared to be even more generous . They occupied the very last row , leaving even more room for other students .

But expect the unexpected , the next creature to enter the class was professor himself . It looked like a mass bunk was planned and a few unlucky ones were left uninformed . The professor took the podium and looked at the class .

Prof : The structure of the class looks a bit strange today . Don’t you all think so ?

No one said anything . The professor continued …

Prof : The front row looks to be made up of students following the ideology ” We don’t know anything and we want to learn everything” .

Prof : The last row looks to be made up of students follwoing the ideology ” We know everything and we don’t want to learn anything ” .

Prof : But the part that’s a bit strange for me is the middle row . I can’t make out what kind of students this row is made up of .

Raman , without giving a second thought , replied ” Sir , neither do we know anything , nor are we interested in learning anything . “

Professor was stunned at the reply . The whole class was looking at him . The poor guy was suspended for one month . Once again someone paid a price for being honest . Please hold a silence of 2 minutes for that brave guy .  😐
