Today's Special- Chakka Jaam!

West Bengal and strikes seem to have an intimate relation for some reason. Seems like every other day people have a date with disruptions. Like today... Chakka Jaam. No vehicles plying on the city roads from three to five in the afternoon. College was kind of confusing, seriously! People didn't know whether to attend classes, especially since college gets over around 5 pm and inspite of the assurance of traffic normalcy, every single place will be crowded like crazy (which turned out to be correct, later on when I ended up waiting for half an hour in the line for an auto). Shubha sweetie didn't come, since she preferred "Rock On!" over classes! Me and Sola did classes, but she was sleepy and unfocused half the time. But something good happened after recess. We got a notice that the classes were suspended 2:30 pm onwards. Our poor circuit theory sir, JKS, well... he got upset. And it's not exactly nice to be in his vicinity when he's upset, since he has got a really squeaky voice. Temporal torture! He didn't have a choice though, and me and Mona landed up in Sola's house. There, we got into an argument, all three of us. Sola thrust two skirts into my and Mona's arms and asked us to change, the only explanation being, "Ma said, you two will be better off in skirts than your damp jeans. It will be more comfy." But thankfully, we managed to dodge that request. Around 5 O' clock, we started to leave. But Sola's house, and leaving without having anything is not an option. Mona had an "Upwaas" (fast) and didn't touch a thing. I, reluctantly enough, had tea. But later while walking back to Tollygunge, I was grateful for it, it was refreshing. But as soon as my eyes fell on the line for Sakherbazar auto, I lost all my energy. There were almost fifty people in the queue... Gawd! I managed to get back home before 6:30 pm, and I'm feeling darn tired... and sleepy! *yawns* Sayonara... *snores*
(By the way, JKS found a valentine! One of the guys in our class, Shyam Kumar Jha, he went up to sir when he was explaining something to three-four students huddled around his table and bent low real close to his face, close enough to kiss him! When he realised how close he was to sir, weirdly enough he found it very funny and burst out laughing at his face. I'm surprised sir didn't say anything, though may be he didn't even notice... You know, he's old with a completely snow white hair. But his agility defies his age... Hmph! Comes to teach every single day.)
