U wake up when the sun has already strolled past a quater of itz journey!! Recalling which hour might probably b the first, and whether it deserved ur presence, u reluctantly get dressed up and set out for college.....
If it were the lecturers' luck, u step in wid at least 15 minutes to spare. U check in for the seat with the bunch of ur friends around.
U take ur notes out and turn to ur neighbour asking "em chepthunadu ra mama"!!!! After scribbling a few points, u feel saturated and ur mind starts exploring the heights of ur imagination.
U r suddenly asked a question for which u r not mentally prepared. The generosity of ur friends makes them prompt the answer which u blurt out.
U repeatedly check ur watch and the minutes hand moves as though it had all the time in the world. U try out messaging if there's someone to chat and utilize the precious time.
On finding none, ur mind goes numb and u start napping. U realize u r being watched, feel abashed, pinch urself and try and stay awake by talking to ur pal or playing BINGO.
Time finds pace and u decide its time for the lecture to wind up. U raise slogans of "Saaaaaaar" to which the lecturer refuses to oblige initially. But then ur pressure over weighs his grit and he finally gives up taking the attendance (which is the only span with positive response and attentiveness from the class...) !!!!
