GOD WHERE ARE YOU

GOD!! WHERE ARE YOU? GOD!!

Student community has a lot of complaints. They are young, energetic, have a lot of commitments. Their expressions are very natural. They need not have full control over their vocabulary. They just do not like two things as I know. First is the so called pravachan( I mean, do this and don’t do this) by parents and long lectures by teachers. Not that they are bad. They are very good to talk to, helping nature and many more adjectives can be added. Such group of students select college canteen to vent out their feeling by the end of the day. I happen to be silent observer and I present you the way they remembered God!

Lights, Camera, Action, sound!! Start………….

Note: I- means a set of boys and girls

First year students: Tomorrow I have three submissions. God, I confess that I did not do my homework, but you please help me & don’t leave my side during my classes. Do some miracles. Can’t you motivate my friends for a mass bunk… think of some thing God please, Try to understand me. I had so many jobs to do apart from these assignments. Fortunately I got a nice girl friend.(Keep this secret please. I am the last one among my friends to have a girlfriend) I had to watch 3 idiots with her to prove myself that I am an universal idiot. Next important task was to attend Sonu, my best friend’s birthday party. Tell me God how can I miss it? He was throwing a party in a nice restaurant with DJ and all that. I can’t give all these excuses to my teachers. God, I will not repeat this again. Leave your other jobs and be with me tomorrow so that I am given extension for submission of assignment.

Second year students: All I can remember is the way both sir and ma’m gave a dead line for assignment. That moment I thought that they kept their hearts at home. That is why they are not accepting any excuses. We have only 24 hours with us. How can they(teachers) be insensitive? Agreed, the assignments were given last week. We too have our schedule. Oh God!!! I don’t know what I am going to do. Last Week I was so busy. I had to watch two fashion shows. So what if I do not take part in the fashion show. I had to look good and be well dressed. So a visit to the beautician and boutique was a must. How could I finish my assignments? God, can you think of nice convincing plan please? Think of some emergency leave for teachers or can you send some body from ADCC for AUTOCAD demonstration? I will personally come visit you in the temple. Take care of me dear God. Do not let me down please!

Third year students: What a hectic day yaar. It was a never ending lecture. All I understood was that we have been given three days to submit the case study of the project. How can teachers be so ruthless? At least they should have asked us the dates. It is only two days left for valentine’s day. I have to organize so many things. Red roses for her(my sweet heart ha ha ha!) booking for a movie and dance party. A well laid plan is totally disturbed with pin up jury. God, this is not fair. I waited 364 days for this day I want you to help me at any cost. Get it cancelled for my sake please. Can you think of lecture by practicing architect, or  bring some body from Birla white or let other classmates convince the teachers for cancellation of jury. See, I am giving you ideas. Think about it and tell me. Don’t spoil my valentine’s day please.

Forth year students: Today’s classes were historical I must say. For a moment I though that today is the last day of the session.  They gave four assignment and time limit of 48 hours. What do they (teachers) think of themselves? Agreed, that a hint was given to us last week. God, seriously, we were too busy last week. Weddings in the family, shopping, relatives came from abroad plus irresponsible juniors. We had told them to help us. They gave a royal ditch to us. God, you are the only one who can take care of the situation. Please show some magic on the day of submission. Send our teachers for some training programme, keep them so busy that they give extension automatically. You can even think of sending them for a shot holiday or organize blood donation camp. I am sure one of these options is going to work. Sorry God I will not repeat this. Take good care of me.

Final year students: How boring the class was, I was so sleepy in the class. Only one thing got registered in my mind that we have to give the synopsis for thesis and seminar in the next18 hours. It appeared that all the teachers were just waiting for us so that they could impose somethings on us. I know only one thing that I have to design mental hospital. With in a day if I do not give synopsis, I will end up in mental hospital. God! Where am I landing? Yes it was told to us to keep all  these things ready in advance. We are also helpless. We are yet to come out of our training phase and we are loaded with synopsis assignment. I can’t risk for final submission. I have already booked 8 junoirs for my project. (thanks to increase in strength of college)  January and February are the most happening months. We have go for picnics, live rock concerts, cricket matches, handicraft exhibitions and  sa re ga ma Pa auditions and so on. All of them are time consuming. How can I think of aims and objectives of my project with so much of distraction? I admit that it is my mistake and I am sorry for that. 

God, I will have a straight dialogue with you. I am seriously steady with my classmate. I am managing that front also. Delay the sunrise tomorrow or go for unusual rains. You can think of  shortage of petrol, Maharashtra Bandh, or conduct a workshop in the college, motivate the teachers to play cricket or you can even think of campus interview. My reputation is at stake God. I hand over my self to you. Take care of my synopsis  and my teachers.

As the students finished their heart to heart talks they started walking towards parking lot. I too get up from my seat with the same question God!! Where are you? I am also waiting to see your miracles.
