A 'Class' Act!

It amazes me how the theory session of a bespectacled scholarly lecturer boasting of an engineering coupled with a doctorate degree, rambling on for eternity about the-devil-knows-what to a class of retarded nincompoops at a reputed institution could be overshadowed by the monotonous incomprehensible buzz of a timorous bumblebee, that seemed to appear so stoned and inebriated, it toiled to avoid the fan blades and thus produced such life-like swerves and fakes which if showcased might make the U.S Air Force feel that they sure have plentiful to be desired. A ceremonious welcome, gracious fanfare, thunderous applauding to its impeccable maneuvers and that incredible omnipotent feeling in its miniature heart - It sure was the winger's day out, I tell you.

It makes for no rococo news, the apparent fact that engineering teachers are spotlighted for this phenomenal yet counterproductive combo - Extensive knowledge and piteous communicational skills, but this incident sure proved to be an eye-opener to blind believers like me. As long as there exist those stereotypical girl gangs that sit together and host round-table conferences about the new 'cute guys' in town, who are willing to excitedly shriek and screech to anything that has the closest resemblance to an insect, teachers around the world will continue have a reason to despise the power of nature. Insects have this inconquerable power of bringing out the diversity in a class. This one visit brought to light those unsung heroes who give their 'swish swish' swatting actions to woo the abominable female crowd, those groups of weirdos who act gallant but are internally dying of fright, those normal people who act indifferent towards the bee's flight and most importantly those flopshots who laugh at others who shriek, and yet produce an encore when faced with a similar situation.

So the next time you are caught amidst a cruciating theory session, give this a try.(Statutory Warning : Method might not produce similar results in non co-ed institutions.)

1. Get a bumblebee with a belly diameter of a minimum of one and a half inches.(That is to prevent it from entering people's ears, though I strongly oppose that theory. What on this holy Earth, makes you think that the bee would choose to explore your elongated wax infested tunnel over the refreshing outside atmosphere?)

2. When the teacher turns to make his/her graffiti on the board, gently let the bee loose.

3. Start an initial mellow scream to rejuvenate the lifeless sleeping beauties in class.

The rest is history my friends. Just watch the action!
