One line all guys love to say: “We will never understand what’s going on in the head of a girl.” True. But I suppose girls should be allowed to say the same about guys too. Here’s why.
Chartered accountancy classes can turn out to be painful sessions of sleep-inducing lectures/brain-wracking (or wrecking) theories to some who are not so into it. And when you have to attend these classes from 6.15 in the morning, then attend articleship and then come again at 6.15 in the evening, on a daily basis, you could simply go for a big toss.
That is why my gang in class decided we would entertain ourselves as much as we could, in and out. One of our friends, Minu* is conservative to the point that she wouldn’t lift her head when a guy crossed her. Being the rowdy gang that the rest of us were, we started to tease her with another guy from our class. And you know how the ritual goes – every time he walked by, he received a good serving of chants from us – Minu! Minu!
In our free time, while we grabbed a quick breakfast before the next class, or while we sat scratching out feet from the mosquitoes before the start of class, our topic of discussion would be Minu and Jai*. We got his profile through the sources we had, we talked about how everything matched- same religion, same caste and perfectly-matching age and height. When he caught onto what we were doing, he seemed to be interested in Minu too. Minu of course rolled her eyes every time or swatted at us like we were swatting those mosquitoes. .
This went on till one fine day, I got caught into a bet where I had to walk up to Jai and give him Minu’s book. And you know how it gets during times like this – you don’t even have time to think!
Imagine my shock and embarrassment when I received an accusing “What’s all this nonsense?” from him when I went and deposited the book!
Of course! What else did I expect! This is the price I paid for being a big-mouth.
