Its 7.30 AM in the morning and three alarms - one from system, one from mobile and one from time piece - started at once and made ruffian to get up. Ruffian had a big smile on his face because he was thinking that he got up too early in the morning. After a disastrous accounting exam in the midterm, ruffian was a little worried about getting an "F" in that subject and so he decided to go to the class with some pre-reading. Three days before, Professor sent a mail to all the students to come prepared with a case given in the book. Ruffian opened the book and did not start reading the case instead he started counting the number of pages. There were around 8 pages to read and Ruffian thought for a while about completing the case with in one hour. He thought that the class might not come prepared with the case and so it would be fine if he reads the whole case for once.
Assuming the same, Ruffian started reading the case as if he was reading a newspaper. He understood the basic point of the case and felt very happy when he was about finish the last page. He thought that he would be able to answer all the questions that prof is gonna ask him, if at all.
Ruffian, carrying all the confidence, went to the class. First class was about Organisation behavior and Ruffian tried his level best to pay attention, but he could hardly listen as his brain was thinking about some other thing. Before the first class was about to start, All the classmates were solving the case related to accounting. Ruffian was shocked seeing that as he just read the case and dint think about solving the case. It was the first blow. This was the basic reason why Ruffian was not able to concentrate in the first class. During the break between first class and second, Ruffian copied the solved problem from Priyanka and again felt happy as he felt it was enough to tackle the professor's question. And here starts the second class, the accounting.
Prof took the attendance and started telling us about the instructions to be followed in his class. One of the instruction says - " I will pick a person randomly from the class and he/she is suppose to answer the questions related to case.You must come prepared for the case with solution and if not , you will be thrown out of the class." Hearing that, Ruffian started worrying a bit as he dint come prepared with the solution and so he started calculating the probability of picking him up - "there are 70 people in the class and the probability of picking me is around 0.01 and converting it in to 1 is highly impossible." He was trying to correlate this incident with the probability of getting an answer correct in the macro economics paper. In macro economics paper only one choice is correct from four choices and the probability of picking up the correct answer is 0.25. Ruffian never got more than 50% marks in macro paper and his conversion rate to pick the correct answer is not even 50%. Making all the calculations in the mind, Ruffian thought that he is on the safer side. After attendance, Prof saw the attendance sheet for twice to pick a person. Ruffian's name is in second page and when the professor is scanning through the first page we can see a smile on Ruffian's face and the reverse when the professor is going through the second. page. After scanning twice, finally prof called "Ruffian". Hearing his name, Ruffian's mind was blank. He doesnt know how to solve it though he has the solution. Prof was asking about the data figures and Ruffian hardly remembers any. At times, Ruffian was searching here and there to find out the topic name for answering the Prof's question. It was priyanka who was murmuring the answers and Ruffian with his rat ears used to listen it and update the same to prof. But there used to be a delay in answering the question. Finally prof told "you read the case and dint solve the case". Instead of feeling sad, Ruffian felt a bit happy. Ruffian thinks "Time God, Prof did not say that I dint even read the case". Prof dint say anything after that, as the whole class came with a solution for the case and were shouting to say the answers for the questions he was asking and in that way Prof forgot about him.
Picking up the Ruffian from the class and leaving him for not answering the questions happened in an hour and it was like a GREAT ESCAPE for Ruffian.
One of the friends told Ruffian "Arey yaar.. You should be happy now as your turn is over and you will not be called anymore in the next classes. I am a little worried about my turn."
Really ?????
The next day, Ruffian read the case and solved it till 5 am. Finally Ruffian slept off and did not attend the classes. Pity !!!!!
how come most of the time you are always the lukcy one to be called and how come you never prepare anything correctly ??
