Gin, carrying his huge body ran as fast as he could into R’s room. R was lying on his bed comfortably with legs one over the other, hands tied behind his head and a ball pen cap in his mouth, and a romantic look towards the ceiling of the room. It seemed to the ordinary viewer that someone was discussing a love story with R through the creaks of the ceiling.
Gin rushed into the room shouting.
Gin: “Machaaan !!!!! “
R : “dei Gin …. Cha… nalla kanavu da… kalachitta…. Nee vaazhka pooraa saamiyaaraadhaan irukka pora… idhu ennoda saabam”

R :”vidraa vidraa…. Enakku pugazhchi pudikaadhu”
Gin :” seri machan… naan kovilukku kelambaren”
R : “all the best da…. Bajji sooda irukkattum… bye bye”
At this moment , somebody knocks heavily on the door. Gin walks towards to door and opens it. A tall dark well built man of around 40 years of age is seen standing in front. He immediately starts shouting at R.
“ Dei R…. nee innum 50 rooba baaki vechirukka…. Ippo panatha edhuthu vekkalainna warden kiita complain panniduven… aprom innonnu kettukko… inimel kandippa unnoda thuniyellam naan thuvaikka maatten…. Seri seri…panatha edu”

R : “nambaa …unna vaazhnaal poora marakka maaten da… neeyum andha bajji mattera marandudaadha”
Dhobi : “ Gin thambi… edho neenga solreengannu poren…. Ivana innoru naal gavanichikaren”
The Dhobi starts walking out. Suddenly he remembers something and turns to Gin’s side.
Dhobi: “Gin thambi…. Indha sattaya potukitta college poneenga..? indha sattayila akkulaa perusaa oru kizhisal irukkey…. Class la ipdi apdi kaiyya thookineenga, ellarum paathu siripaanga thambi…. Seri naan kelambaren”
Tortoise surul…..Flashback….
“Attendance please…. Gin”
“yes ma’am”
Stop.
Rewind.
Pause.
Play.
“Yes ma’am”
Stop.
Zoom.
The picture that u are imagining is simple enough.
Gin stands up in his desk, raises his hand above as much as possible and answers the attendance with a loud voice “yes ma’am”.
Of cors he was not looking at “ma’am” while saying that.
And of course “she” was not laughing on Tuesdays without a reason!
