'LAPLACE' For Three


Our professor who teaches us Laplace transforms met us , skandadu , babu and me infront of the class as the rest shot fleeting glances at us from the other end of the corridor .
Babu and me tried our luck in convincing her that it was not worth taking a class for three lonely souls , but unfazed she remarked "If they bunk , its their loss " . " I will take a class for the three of you " she retorted to our gaping looks .
Inside the three of us perched our asses on a bench( the three sisya's ) she sat on the bench in front and with her booming voice started off .
I caught venkat being given more attention than he liked , she was breathing down his neck . The scene was extremely funny ( rather hard to describe , please let your imagination do the talking) . Skandadu and me exchanged quick smiles . Outside were a coupla first benchers throwing us jealous looks . Me and skanda exchange another round of smiles .
Some the 'nerds' gather thier guts and excused themselves into class . venkat grabbed the opportunity " Ahem ! ma'am why don't u (please) teach from the blackboard itself (at a safe distance )" ? he suggested , she saw the light and went back to the blackboard .
Venkat and me had a hearty one after she left . I am not even hinting anything about her teaching . Just that she is a much better teacher close up than from the blackboard .
