I have a problem!!

Chapter 1: The Excuses

All of us have excuses to tell to people. Especially our teachers. Right from our early school days to the end of our graduation we tell our teachers all kinds of reasons for our irregular behavior.I’ve told my teachers all sorts of reasons and excuses some of them so silly but ignored coz of my age.

Most Commonly used Excuses:

When absent to school

>>Went to Guntur

>>High Fever

>>Function at home

If I did not complete my homework

>>Forgot notes

>>Lost my notes

>>Gave my notes to a friend who is absent today

Absent for study hours

>>Function

>>Cycle repair

>>Headache, Doctor’s appointment

So it is pretty clear that with this sort of a foundation I never found it difficult to come up with spontaneous reasons to tell to my lecturers.

Chapter 2: The Enemy

No matter how many reasons we tell there were always those teachers who cud see past those reasons and find ways to punish us.They find it rather amusing to give us punishments.I had many of that kind during my schooling and college life.

Like Sundari teacher from my school days who used to eat away the interval break and the lunch hour by making us write imposition. Those kind of reasons never worked with her. Whether it is a textbook forgotten, homework unfinished, or a diagram not labeled; it meant that there wasn’t gonna be any recess that day.

There’s Mr.Srinivas Reddy, our campus incharge in intermediate.Used to tell him all sort of reasons to take outing.Apart from faking sickness and sleeping in the sickroom I remember telling him once that one of my ears was not working.I still remember that look on his face and that was kind of funny but not entirely a lie.I really had some kind of infection that got cured by few anti-biotics.

And therez my very own KK ma’am recently.There is seriously nothing else we generally remember in a particular semester(Regarding acads I shud mention)when she takes up a lab.Those countless hours of record writing, observation writing, doing the experiments is all you remember.But even this seems less torturing when it comes to the  correction part.Even after hours of waiting outside her room, we get kicked out coz the circuit diagram is too small or sumtyms just because we did not write as much matter as Lavanya(Topper/Her Fav) did.

Chapter 3: I Have a problem

One thing I like about Kamala Kumari ma’am is that she did not fail people.Even if she did there would be several others who might be in her hit list before me.So I never really worried about finishing her record and observation in time and getting it corrected.Even if we keep going to her from the beginning she keeps on increasing the corrections and we end up on the last day before the lab exam with the final signature pending. So I never showed my face to her and kept postponing the correction when I was in 3-2.

I was planning on going to her in the last week and face some intense moments all at a time so that I can avoid weeks of irritation and that was what I did but still found it difficult to handle that one week of torture .So I decided to make use of all the excuse telling history that I have as she was telling me that shez not willing to take a look at my record as I didn’t come for corrections all this time.So the next day I thought of a good reason(good or unusual)to tell her as an excuse for my absence the whole time during record correction.

I stood outside her room as there were few of my juniors with their records inside her room.I did not want to tell the excuse infront of them.So I decided to wait outside but however she called me in. Before I could just open my mouth she began scolding me for being so irregular, for being irresponsible, for acting too smart and a million other reasons. I quietly stood there waiting for my juniors to leave.

Once they left, she kind of calmed down a bit and asked me to get lost and declared that she wudn’t correct my record and that I had to come next year to do the lab.I knew she was just threatening me and she would anyhow correct it soon enough.All she wanted now was to see me do some work like all my classmates. So it was the perfect time for me to use my master weapon..my final option..the ultimate excuse…

“Ma’am actually..the thing is… I have a problem.. a psychological problem and I’m attending the counseling sessions. I’m not staying in the hostel.. that is why I’m not regular ma’am…”

I made my point clear…

She was clearly not expecting anything like this and she tried hard to hide the shock in her face with some more anger and asked me to leave the room and also shouted that I always tell some crazy reasons.

I came out pretty confident that my idea wudn’t go wrong.Even if she kicked me out again I was sure I got the tiger right where I wanted it.

That was probably the craziest reason I ever told to anyone…

Aftermath:

Well that actually worked to a large extent coz never again was I seriously bugged by her. She did not talk to me much after that and I was more than happy for that as talking, to her was serious banging  for us.I had to act a bit crazy infront of her but that was not a big problem.

As for the lab…I think I got a B grade!!
