Lazy Loungers
2008
Having slept at 2:00 a.m after our routine recreational stuff (now that's what can be avoided by work-eluding laid-backs like us) it was obvious that it's gonna be tough to wake up in time for Mr. S Mandal's class at 8:00 a.m for a guy like me who is guilty of committing one of the seven deadly sins - Sloth.
My tryst with the beautiful angels was interrupted by a loud and hazy voice ''Class nahi jaana kya? (are you not coming to class)'' and I was out of my bed within a second.The reason for such a quick reaction being Mandal Sir who asks for only one thing - Punctuality and if you are late,it means you have to attend the boring lecture without the attendance.
The voice,as I later found out,was coming from the vocal chords of one of the laziest guy - The Bihari.The first thing I did was to reach out for my mobile lying beneath a heap of every possible item a student possesses(notebooks,comb,files,medicines,ironed clothes etc.) and it showed 7:51 a.m.With a brush in my mouth I was out of my room within next 15 seconds but on reaching the basin I was more worried about my horrible look rather than attending the class.But I think the mighty force was providing a driving force for me to attend the class;that might be the only reason that Kashyap (the guy with the bike) who normally leaves the hostel by 7:50 was still there with a brush in his hand and looking for a tooth paste.
Sleeping with my jeans on saved me another minute or so and I was ready(This word hardly represented my condition but still...) by 7:56.The exact time of departure was 7:58 and the rest of the journey was full of speed and risk .And there we were in the classroom by 8:01 a.m and in came Mr. Mandal with his notes and the boring lecture commenced and it was hard for me to keep my eyes open.
