5. HQ and Mr. K

This sem we met very uninteresting Mr. K!

At first we thought he was very student friendly would give good marks in internal, but we were wrong. He gave marks only to girls !!

He never gave a lecture by himself !. He made us to give seminars. He had divided whole subject into some chunks. Each chunk was a seminar, as he called it. He would select students for seminars in his previous lecture. Prominent students for seminars were Ravi, Cyber, Sush, Pritvi and Sapna.

Whenever he used to give lecture but not more than ½ an hour or rather we did not allow him to give. We used to sing in chorus saying “saar saaku saar”.

We had lot of assignments in his subject and we wrote it bcoz he told it carried marks. But we never got marks for those.
First we used to write assignments on our own but he would never agree with our assignments and had many complaints with it and some how he managed not to give us marks.
Frustrated with this, we stopped writing assignments on our own in whole engg life!!
But whoever wrote the assignment and we just copied that (whatever he wrote!!).

All milkshake boys used assembled in one place Alex (Anand) and Pritvi’s room which we called HQ (yes, head quarters!!). Here we celebrated every thing !! Birthdays (at 12 o clock in night.), AC Boss!!(results), occasional blades to any bakraa.

For birthday celebration, one of us collected money from all HQ members (Of Course milkshake boys!) to bring cakes, veg puffs, aloo chips, gift to the birthday boy from Aahar 2000! If two birthdays clashed, celebration also included a dinner at Hide Out. After dinner, every body had at least two rounds of Milk shakes.

After birthday boy cuts the cake (we all would sing b’day song!!), Always Cyber used to divide it into exact equal pieces and distribute among us. But cyber would never get his piece of cake! Bcoz BC/Sunil/Mahesh would gulp it.

After all this, of course, next day birthday bumps to birthday boy!

Because of our birthday celebration styles we had disturbed HQ’s owners and shifted HQ to 2 or 3 places. But this never disappointed our birthdays celebrations !!

Occasional blades included mirchi, mandakki and chai !! BC and Cyber were never bakraas !

In mean while Mr K became close to Milkshake Boys. In fact he started staying in HQ. he used to accompany us where ever we went ! he was now present in every birthday parties (only Pritvi invited him) ! evening chai and mirchi-mandakki. But rarely paid for the celebrations !! Slowly he started coming to football sessions in morning.

We were movie buffs. We saw lot of movies, even more Saturdays and Sundays. On Saturday nights somebody got most famous 4-5 movies and night out! on most of the Sundays we slept and in evening we would divide cost of CDs amongst us and had chai.
We had evening chai in the corner shop which was near by the Anjaneya temple watching passers by (mostly girls who came to the temple!).

Only concern we had while watching movies was that Mr. K accompanied us here too. We could not enjoy as much we did in his absence.

This all became a routine. He (Mr. K) used to ask every day that if we had any movies store for the day or if we had any celebrations. In fact he had made a list of birthdays of ours and others.

Frustrated from this, Sunil and I decided not to show any movies to him. Any new movie CDs we brought was never shown to him. We watch them in the mid night and just deleted it if it was stored.

Another uninteresting person was Mr S.
