Being a member of the skool editorial board (yea...thats true !!...i know u won't believe that, specially after reading the rest of mah posts....hehe !!)....
I was supposed to write sumthin for the skool magazine...the topic given to me...
what I lurrrrved...Bunk !!...I shortlisted mah favorite bunks...cuddav gone on and on...writin about bunks...make a 12,739 page autobiography just about bunking experiences...but the skool authoroties wuddav killed me for that...probably the easier way for 'em would be by adding brocolli to mah hotdog !!..so to exempt maself from such an unsophisticated death....here's what I finally wrote....the piece of text that follows this,is the exact stuff I submitted.....
Bunk.
The Oxford English dictionary defines 'Bunk' as "making oneself absent by running off or away under suspicious circumstances."
Teachers define Bunk as " A felony, for which the delinquent must be imparted capital punishment."
Students define 'Bunk' as "The art of living..."..
For me.....It was a lott more than thiss...It was the beginning of the realization of a new Me.....
Self Actualization...as mah classmates would call it !!
When I joined this school in the 11th standard...I was this decent, sweet, studious,
*I have all the books in mah bag* kinda guy...yea....quite like that...with mah face dug into course books all day...and entertainment being sum fiction.
Weeks passed by till I really started getting a ife of mah own...
which started on with activities like 'Sleeping with mah head down while the teacher is making sum noise in the class...'.....
Perpetually proceeding to smiling at the cute girls in the class...and advancing to newspaper fights....water fights...chalk and ink fights....and all the types !!!
After a few days of my *I can't believe you do that* expressions...I did what I thouht would be worth a try...Playing Truant !!
The whole evening before D-Day...all that was on mah head was "Yeaahhh...!! I'll bunk mah maths class !!"...
It was the first time in mah life that I wanted to go to skool so baddd that I wouldn't have missed skool even if I had viral !!
In class...I was the only person who was excited at the thought of bunking the maths class....there were others too...who were bunking...but it didn't really excite them...While I had been a follower of mah same prosaic routine..they were
'bunking automatons'....bunking came naturally to 'em....and they are now perfectionists at it...
The bell rang....maths class...then began the conflicts.."Should I really bunk ?? Gaaaawdd...am I really gonna do this ??....What If...the disciplinarian catches me at it ??...."
Then I gave a thought to the Maths class......Derivatives...their applications..Integration..their Relations...Matrices...Determinants...all kindzaa numberss....Mannn !!...Bunking was a better Idea !!
Once outta the class...I ran to the football field.....where all the other boys were...But soccer ain't mah forte....I moved on to the canteen...where I happened to meet the CUTEST girl in the school...
She was from a different section...and I presumed that she too was bunking...
She looked at me,and smiled...(whatta smile !!....I can never forget that !!)...and the smile told me that she knew what I was upto...then followed her exclamation "So..even the new boy is bunking.."..I was like "uhmmm..yea..!!"...
then we got into a conversation which came to an end with the ringing of the bell....
I cuddav stayed there taliknn to her till the end of the world...but..watevaa !!..
It seemed like it was the SHORTEST PERIOD EVER !!
This happens....you know....That's what the theory of relativity is all about..
"Two seconds with your hand on a stove is like an hour on it...an hour with a pretty gal is like a second.."....The exact words of Einstien to get his Theory across to the people...ok..am not here to talk about Einstien or his theories...I was talking about that Cute girl...the first time I talked to her...and how I hated going back to class...!!
Yea then the Cute girl...no !! This article is not about the cute girl...this is about the bunk.....The shortest period ever...My first Class Bunk !! yea...so gettin back to the Bunk..
Deep down inside me...I did have a sense of satisfaction...
Bunking a class...not getting into any trouble...and yea...Making a new friend..(the Cute girl...remember ??)
That bunk made a new me...
A new person... more confident of myself...More open to accepting challenges....
More daring than before...and the birth of a new ability..Perfidiousness...that is, the art of making excuses.
Bunking, I guess is fine once in a while....helpful in a sense...
helps bring out the adventurous side of a person (and surely....Much more interesting than MATHEMATICS !!)...can relieve you of the burden of course books...cummon !!...everyone needs a break once in a while !!
Bunking helps create a stronger bond of trust and friendship among students...
and yea...making new friends too..(remember...the Cutest girl in school ??)
