MunnaBhai Ki paathshalaa

I found this story while rummaging through my old writings. It was done when I was in class ninth and published in The Times of India on October 12, 2006. I did it with one of my seniors and brother . It might seem very childish and silly but it is one my very favorite stories. So here goes:

One day, during the morning assembly , school principal announces on the mike " Students let me introduce you to your new all-rounder teacher , Murli prasad Sharma.


Murli Prasad Sharma : Bole toh good morning bachaa log . Apun Munna bhai your latest all round teacher. Apun is the master of all the subjects that is why apun is the all rounder. My qualifications are MBBS in English , hindi and maths , MBA in physics , chemistry and Biology .Oh sorry! bole toh I did not introduce you to my assistant Circuit . Circuit say hello to everyone.

Circuit: Bole toh Namaste ! Jaise Munnabhai.......


Munna: Circuit apun is giving the speech so no , now what do you call that ...interjection....no..no interpreting no....no forget it. Yeh angrezi bhi na . Bapu was very right to adopt swadeshi goods.Ok now enough of speech , see you all in the class.


MUNNABHAI IN CLASS NINTH

Students(in unison): Good Morning , Sir.

Munna : What sir ? Call me Bhai  Bole toh only Bhai . Apun did the introduction when principal asked now it's your turn.

Rahul: My name is Rahul , Sir.

Circuit: Ae, ek baar mein samajh nahi ata Bhai ko Bhai hi kehne ka aur kuch nahi.

Munna: Circuit this is  class room . Chalo bacha log now we will study physics Chapter 1, Electricity . Electricity Bole toh light , fan etc ,etc.

Students: But sir.

Circuit : Jab bhai speaking then no interjection. Theek bola na bhai.

Munna: Eggjactly ! Ok! Next is power . Power bole toh ( shows his muscles) . Now watt , bacha log tell me what is watt ?? Anybody?

Laxman: Watts is the SI unit of power.

Munna : Laxman come here, we will show the class live practical of watt . First of all watt is a person being in a bad situation. Second of all the practical of watt is as follows:

Material required : A student , a teacher ,  a wrong answer and power as catalyst.

Procedure: Teacher lifts his hand slaps the student who has given the wrong answer with power ( as I do to Laxman) The procedure is repeated twice or thrice.

Result: Student cries , Bole toh bad situation, bole toh watt.

The bell rings Trinnggggg.....Triiiinnnggg

Chalo Bacha log class over. Homework practice watt on each other. See you tomorrow.



NOW MUNNABHAI IN CLASS TENTH:

Munna: Bole toh Good morning everyone. So this class tenth.Apun ko everybody knows after my introduction .Acha bacha log you have to work according to my philosophies and the one who will not do so will have to face my watt. Now we will study chapter 1 of maths , that is algebra. Yeh kya Algebra  , Al-qaida suna , Al-Jawahir suna , Al-gebra kahan se aa gaya? Circuit do you know what it is??

Circuit: Bhai maybe it is the terrorist group of Osama bin laden's brother.

Munna: Bacha log ko yeh thodi padne ka. But let's see what's in the chapter
             So the first formula of al-gera is : a+b whole square = a square + b square.
Scratching is head a and b in maths,forget it we will do this chapter in English , now you can go and play.

Karan:  But sir this is maths ....

Munna : Do what I say also bacha log your homework is to the chapter of Al-gebra in your own words in your English notebooks.


MunnaBhai in Class eighth.

Munnabhai : Toh bacha log , history is such a big mystery , starts with one continues with other and the bell rings to wake up the children.Moreover it is so full of violence . Bole toh wars , fights aur apun toh non-violent bapu ka follower hai, toh teaching for me paap hai.

Chaitanya : Then do we have a free period???

Munnabhai: No we will study geography.

Chaitanya: Who discovered earth is round??


Munnabhai: Who said that now? Have you lost it?? Earth is not round it is flat. Agar earth roundish hota toh tu iske upar aur woh tere upar hota.

Circuit : Ek dum correct bola bahi.

Shubham: Sir , what is topography ??

Munnabhai: Photography suna , choreography suna ab lagta Topography kisi tapori se pochna padega.

The bell rings 

 
PS : Sorry for the hindi used but could not help it . If you want to know the meaning of any word ask in the follow up comments.

PPS: I might sound like I am bragging but I do not care for once.This story was used as a script by my mom for her school's play. And  it was a HUGE crowd puller.

We litter because we are in India

We Indians go on throwing waste every where, like the whole country is one big trash bin. It's like littering is socially accepted in India.We feel it's our moral duty , our right to throw garbage wherever we want to.

If you look around you will find this alarming habit in everyone around you , the most well dressed and educated person can be spotted trashing his pepsi bottle on the road itself or the kids in the posh school mindlessly throwing their chocolate wrappers on the street. Nobody minds , who cares. And when asked to stop littering they say "yeh India hai boss yahan sab chalta hai"("this is India , you can do anything here").

You will see more garbage on the streets than in the dust bins.The older people tell the kids to keep their rooms clean and the very next moment they are caught littering , throwing things out of the their car on the pretext they do not have a trash bin in the car , why is the trash going to turn into a  monster and attack if you keep it with yourself for sometime.

 I read this on one of the blogs :
Quoted the part I want my readers to read.
"As I hiked further into the valley I caught up to two domestic tourists who were spectacularly under dressed for a Himalayan valley at 3400m. As I got closer the young man turned away from his girlfriend and threw a sweet packet into the flowers. I lost it.
‘What the  do you think your doing?’
‘What?’ said the shocked man.
‘Why did you throw that away?’
His answer was astounding, and sent me into apoplexy.
‘There’s nowhere else to throw it away.’
‘What! This is a world heritage site. You well carry out what you brought in you bloody idiot. Too many beautiful places in this country have been ruined by idiots throwing rubbish away with no thought. I’ve collected this bag of  rubbish already, and I’m here to enjoy this place not to be a  dustman. Now  pick it up.’
I stormed off down the trail with steam coming out of my ears."

This is the account of a  South Korean who visited India . The outcome of this outburst was the guy picked up the sweet packet  and apologized to the author. So this is how people realize things. All we need is a couple of foreigners patrolling every street and knocking some sense into our countrymen.

I keep telling my friends not to litter but they think I am some maniac who needs to enjoy the benefits of living in India. Ya enjoy the benefits of  getting all sorts of  deadly diseases that littering can cause. When I do not find a trash bin around I put all the wrappers in my bag and my pockets. This has earned me one of many nicknames - the dustbin and a lot of threats by my mom , telling me she will never let me put my jeans into washing machine due to all the wrappers found in my pockets.But somehow the wrappers find their way into my pockets.

All of us need to do our part to make an effort for having a cleaner India . It may sound difficult but is not impossible.I will sign off by quoting this:
 “Don't just do what's your responsibility, do what needs to be done.” ~Pivot

Books and Brew - The perfect blend

Books and brew is my new discovery in the city.A  never ending game of scrabble (or chess) , engrossing books(if you go unaccompanied ) , steaming cappuccino and piping hot maggi  ,this cafe in sector 38-C , Chandigarh has it all to make your lazy winter Sundays perfect.

It's a matchless cafe which provides surprisingly inexpensive coffee ,  beating the one we get at baristta  or ccd after spending a fortune. The calmness and cozy environment that prevails here is overwhelming and probably hard to find in city's jam packed coffee houses.

It's facebook page describes it as
                                                    "Books, reading rooms,
                                                    beverages, snacks, Wi-Fi
                                                      facility, lounge and all the
                                       makings of a coffee haven called 'books n brew'  "

It definitely is a haven .The low prices being an added bonus for students like us . These guys also have splendid live music performances. The adulteration of the great music that plays here  all the time with their coffee is enchanting and an idea of a perfect evening.  I was quite impressed by their playlists.They were absolutely Mesmerizing! Even the book collection is great but it could be better.

What I like the best is the provision all the board games. The most perfect way of spending the time with friends is playing scrabble over a cup of coffee.

Books and brew is a perfect blend of beverages , books , buddies and board games. If asked I will give this place 10 on 10. Though I feel its location could be better , it's too far from most of the places in the city , but they say Chadigarh is a tiny city with hardly any distances so we can overlook that factor. An awesome place to hang out with friends or alone.
