The lecture began with Prof Roy arriving in the class
wearing a white shirt and a black pant. He began with a
new topic and started lecturing to the student body
while periodically moving towards the board to draw
some diagrams and write a few lines.
“So….this is what the quantum principles tell us. An
atom with electrons moving around a fixed nucleus at
fixed distances”
“What the heck… yeh sab kyaa hai yaar. Yeh to maine
dasvi kaksha main seekha tha yaar” kaka mumbled in
Haddi’s ear who had already started dozing off. His sleep
was interrupted by a slight commotion in the vicinity.
Haddi opened his eyes to see Prof Roy writing somethng
on the blackboard. He turned right to see Mariyal
moving down the aisle. Apparently Mariyal had had
enough and had decided to attend to more important
things. All he had to do now was to turn right, walk the
broad aisle, open the door and get out. Everything was
going good for Mariyal until he made the right turn. This
is when Prof Roy decided that he had written enough
and turned towards the class to explain more of basic
quantum atomic theory. But instead of a well settled
class taking notes, he saw an anomaly walking the
broad aisle heading towards the door. Generally
professors used to ignore such acts but this was summer
semester and they were hardly 10 min into lecture.
“Hey you!! Where are you going?” professor Roy said in
an agitated tone which sounded even more agitated
through the sound amplification system of L-7. All eyes
now turned towards Mariyal who was still walking
comfortably on the aisle as if having an evening stroll.
He was so engrossed with Reena’s thoughts that he
wasnt even aware that the professor was talking to him.
“Hey you!!” Professor Roy’s voice becoming lot more
stern now.
Mariyal still walking.
