Hi friends, today I'm here again.... as usual, to share my new experiences. Certain things that I see happening around me, make me angry. It may or may not affect me directly, but I feel it wrong as it affects my near and dear ones. Let me take an example. There is a teacher in our college. He is quite young and tall fellow. The first day I saw him, I thought him to be a very good man. But, as it is said, 'First impression is not always the last impression', I didn't expect certain things from him. He always enters in the class with a smiling face. But it remains just for some time. Let me tell you some of his incidents:
DAY 1: He entered the class, and started giving his lectures. A mobile suddenly rung. All started looking at each other. The teacher's face had an angry sign. But no sooner it was found that his own cell was ringing! He took it out, disconnected the call, but it rung again. He picked up the phone, and attended it. Then he told us in a harsh voice, "I suffer a hundred problems daily. My cell will be on even in class. But your cells will be off". For the first time I realised he was a total 'khadoos'!
NEXT CLASS: he began taking attendance. 'Roll no. 1 to 23, pls tell who are present'. A student whose Roll no. was above 23, mistakenly replied. This was what he received in reply, "I'm not your servant!! Your 'baap' has not sent me as your servant!! I've just come to complete my syllabus!!!".
This is not the end. When he teaches, he speaks in low voice, unable to reach the students sitting in the last benches of the huge gallery. When a student interrupts, he says, "I will speak in the same tone. If you can't understand, you are free not to attend my class". This time, his voice is large enough to penetrate the walls of the huge gallery room.
CLIMAX: The teacher's 'khadoospan' reached its climax one day when he openly told, "The non-bengalis in the class are all duffers. I hate the non-bengalis and would be happy if they are not present. I'm intentionally telling this so that they don't attend my class from next day". He then pinpointed at our only punjabi batchmate, and said, "I hate those non-bengalis, especially that punjabi fellow". The teacher had said many more things and criticized many more, especially the teachers to whom we go for tuition. It's not possible to say everything. But I believe, the teacher had reached his climax that day.
YET ANOTHER: I used to share my works with the fellow in the beginning. But the day he criticized the non-bengalis, I stopped attending his classes. Few months passed by. Three days ago, I attended his class on the request of a friend. This was what he told me: "You had decided not to attend my class. Then why today? You are a Brahmin, right? (I replied 'yes') A brahmin always remains fixed to his decision. And I hate the non-brahmins especially for this reason. You had caused a 'ghatna' in the beginning (I wondered, which ghatna is he talking about??) You showed me your writings, and I gave them to the HOD of English Department (this was the 'ghatna). You had also given me your blog address. And soon after that you had stopped coming to my class. And today, what made you return? Do you think I have changed over the months?? No, I am the same". (At least he admitted he deserved some change in himself).
I would seldom visit his class henceforth.
The teacher is a typical example. There are many more. Some dealing directly with me, some with my near and dear ones, some with my country, or mankind. I feel all the more angry for I can't protest! I'm helpless!! I couldn't tell the teacher anything that day. Not only me, nobody said anything (as we were totally new, freshers). And if we protested, we'd be wronged. They say students grow aggressive. But seldom ask 'why'. This incident had infuriated many students, especially the non-bengalis. Apart from this, they must have got the belief that bengalis are getting more privileges in the college. They might have even started hating/ getting jealous of the bengalis. When I think these things, they make me very angry. Let me ask the readers, is my anger not void?? Ok, Leave me, if those non bengalis protest against the teacher, would it not be justified??
buddy...why dnt u guys complain to the princi??
