MHP actually!

I'm MHP of CT fame.

My day started early as usual. Friday has its special significance. I have a very brilliant start to it every week, after all I give lectures on Concrete Technology to 5th semester B.Tech students from 8to9 followed by Advanced Concrete Technology to M.Tech students from 9to11. What better can I ask for!

What to tell of those 5th semester B.Tech students (5sBTs)! They are a whole bunch of non-serious students. You see I had asked them to come 15 minutes earlier than usual. All I found was just 8 of the 57 5sBTs in the class. I waited till 8am to start the lecture by which 25 5sBTs had come. Actually I'm a bit strained, with the huge CT course to deliver and the insufficient time. What I have decided is to take a test on coming Monday and I'm yet to cover the whole portion. So I'll be taking a 90 minutes lecture for them today afternoon from 4to5.30. I hope I can complete it by then.

The 5sBTs who had come for the 8to9 class today were such disgusting, what to tell.
The whole class just stared blankly whenever I put some question. What they did in the meanwhile was so disturbing. Some gaze outside the window, some laugh, some talk and can you believe it some just stare at the fan above! Why they do such things I don't know. Actually their attitude even makes my concentration go haywire. So it might just be true what one 5sBTs commented "That means fan is more interesting than you, sir."

After all CT is a subject that needs so much mugging up, because of which the Department of Civil Engineering, NITK (DCE-N)never had offered CT in the last 20 years. Now with my joining, DCE-N started loving CT so much, and thrust this subject on me. I refer 5-6 textbooks, some of which even I may not understand, but I try to do my best. I come to DCE-N building everyday at 7 whereas all else arrive at 8. With nobody around I once again rehearse what I have to lecture that day. Even with all these efforts, 5sBTs are not cooperating with me.

So, what I'll do is put a tougher question paper for the test. I'll see how they are going to score good marks. I'll have my vengeance then.
