College days

This incident happened when we had just joined college. The computer science HOD had changed. The new professor was really thin and short. It was a commonly held belief that no matter what he wore, he'd always look like a peon.

Anyways, so a computer lab class was just over and a first year student from ECE had left his pen among the computers somewhere. He somehow got the impression (probably from his looks) that our new HOD was one of the lab boys. Here's what followed:


Student: "Mera pen kho gaya hai"

HOD: "Haan, toh dhoondh lo na"

Student: "Aap bhi meri madat karo na"

HOD: "Nahi nahi, tum khud hi dhoond lo"

Student: "Kya bhaiyya, aap din bhar bas baithe rehte ho. Kuch karte-warte toh ho nahi...."

Imagine telling the head of the department that he's good-for-nothing!

HOD(SHOUTING): "I AM THE HOD OF THE COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT !!! HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT...."

Poor guy got a good dressing down. And we just couldn't stop laughing when we heard the story...

This reminds me a similar situation in our college days. We were celebrating Holi in our hostel despite college notifying us to refrain from it. We were only few months into first year. Our HOD came to stop us. One of our friend did not recognize him being from a different dept. went ahead and handed him a bucket full of "colour". "Arrey...aap kyon dur dur khade hain... aayie aap bhi kheliye... Holi hai...".

We were nowhere to be seen and as they say "rest is history..."
