Past Life: Chapter 3

Where there's a GOD there is no place for a demi God..But the strange thing was that in a class arranged on a weekend a short..kinda stout man-god appeared. A god who talks so fast that his genius laced with tons and tons of saliva is hard for the rest of the lesser mortals to understand. He used to say that if you did not know a thing then atleast it should not look like it.

It was after or close to our 1st semester exams when we were all really hard pressed for time but we committed a near criminal act. If it was not criminal it was the silliest felony ever done. Done with such serious lack of finesse that a 'paanchvi fail' could have discovered it let alone demi god. And then he got angry and his wrath was like none else. He called for a meeting and bellowed from the dias. A batch of 200 who had not even bothered to change the author's name in their assignments..it was but ofcourse copied work..from seniors and super seniors..a mistake of grievous proportions so much so that it seems so obvious now. And he was calling out people's names. The rest of us were more scared than those whose names were called out. My heart leapt out as did everybody's else'..No exceptions.
