Raoji THE BOSS

There i was sitting on one of the last benches of the class,just like any other typical backbencher,with my mind wavering around every direction it could possibly go to.It was 3rd sem and it was the DBMS class.The staff was our famous RAO.He was on time for the class and as the session started, just like in any other college or school the front benchers' eyes were glued to the board.Just to spoil the moment let me first tell you about my opinion on Rao(before the incident)!!!

I thought Rao was an ordinary staff in our coll who had reasonably good technical knowledge.But i really didn't know about his character or what kind of a person he was.Atleast, until the 'Ultimate Incident' of my life happened.After which i did some research on him, but i was still unable to frame him as a particular character.Now getting back to the story.....

As usual he was talking about some technical stuff and scribbling some syntax and queries on the board(yeah! his handwriting was pathetic).While i was coolly skimming through the pages of rb's "Reader's Digest".Approximately 20 minutes went by peacefully.Then suddenly he asked me to stand up and asked a question.I naturally didn't know and was standing there blinking my eyes and having an 'appavi' look on my face.30 seconds went by, then i thought "God! why doesn't this guy move on to someone else".But he stood there, just stood there expecting an answer from me.My friends started saying that the answer was on the board."Oh...Thank god!"(i thought)."Damn!!!"...but i couldn't figure out his handwriting.My friends then started prompting me the answer,each guy saying different points none of which my mind could comprehend.So i decided to stay put with my mouth shut.Finally, i guess our hero(Rao) got fed up.Then he started to say things which i would never forget in my life.

Rao:"Enna answer therilaya??.

Me:"No sir".

Rao:"Naanum romba naala paathitu irukaen nee panrathu onnum seri illayae".

Rao:"Thenavatta nadanthu varra porra.Unga appa enna periya businessmana??"

Before i could give an answer.

Rao:"Theriyuthu paathaelae theriyuthu!!"

Rao:"Oru simple questionuku kooda answer therila.X(sum technical geek's name.I don't quite remember it.So its better to call him X)nu oru than irukan avan excellent coder.Entha programa irunthalum he will finish it within few seconds.Nee avana compare pannum podhu onnumae illa."

Rao:"Romba naala paathitu irukaen classa cut adikara..Unnala classla oru 8hrs ukkara mudiyadha??(like it was an easy task).Even the last class you bunked correcta?"

Me:"Yes sir.Symposium work irundhudhu."(How dumb!!)

Ofcourse he did'nt believe me.He smiled and went on about giving a load of bullshit which was nowhere related to me not answering the question.Finally,the session got over.I was more than glad and guess most of my classmates were equally surprised by whatever nonsense that rao said to me.Then i realised that i had dbms lab with him next.So slowly i walked out of the class very embarassed to even look at my classmates' faces.Calmly,i sat inside the lab next to rbpravin.After few minutes he came and sat next to me and having an expression as though he really cared for me,he asked me whether i had any doubts.Then we started to do a kind of revision of queries where he asked me few queries for which every time i provided the right answer he said "No!!" and again he told me whatever i told.I thought "Is he a complete mental case or is he determined to piss me off for the entire day!!".Then the lab ended though it wasn't as eventful as the theory class.

One thing that really surprised me that day was none of my friends tried to make fun of me or kept irritating me by repeating what rao said.And when i was going back in the bus i started to think about why he scolded me so bad and started to analyse the various possible reasons.....

To be continued.....

Note:Tell me what you people thought when this incident occured.Im sure no one could've forgotten it.
