adventures in college part 2

okay ppl, seems like i can never get out my haggling over my college, but there are a zillion things to ponder over.....the first post on the adventures in college had a mention about our librarian , the all- knowing saint who has been given the weighty responsibility of being the caretaker of the books and the literature students read ( umm try to read!!) in our college.
there are so many incidents related to this chap, that i have to blog lest i forget about the wonderful rather full-of-wonder days in this college. i would not take time and jump directly to the untold miseries ....we face everyday..
SO, before starting off with another story telling session, i would like to create a backdrop rather a platform on which the story resides...

SCENE 1: There is a herd of students assembled near the notice board, chattering away mindlessly, some had the expressions as if they were about to start a revolution, and some were plain indifferent as if defiance was flowing in their blood..but one could easily make out, there was some spicy news on the noticeboard...
i rushed along my friend to catch the latest on the block ..it was something like this:

"Following the harmful effects of mobile phones on the lives and careers of students, the university has decided to ban mobile phones on campus. Anybody found with a mobile phone would have to pay a fine of rupees 500."

wow...now this called for some real action. We were engineering students, i mean atleast in theory, and we were being groomed for developing some of the best technology for mobiles, computers, laptops..u know ..all that matrix feel ...an here ,we had just lost the right to stay connected and how sweetly.....I was all smiles, the smile that i usually sport when i am angry to the core . People around me were waiting for my sincere comments , but i shook my head and went away.

SCENE 2:It was a new day, and apparently people had turned a deaf ear rather a blind eye to the notice.
your's sincerely was in the library once again with an unfortunate friend, unfortunate bacause the poor girl did not know destiny had something in store for her in that library..we were trying to copy an assignment that was to be submitted in the next lecture, there were around 20% of my classmates there hard at work..u see..copy paste isnt that easy...u have to beg for assignments ...beg for blank sheets..and if that wasnt enough..beg for a writing instrument ...people call them pens..
So here we were ...furiously copying the original assignment along with the usual editing going parallely...and tearing the silence of the library..went a sound..beep beep beep. Everybody turned their faces along the direction of the sound , instantly trying to detect who was the culprit..as if contending for a temp job with sherlock holmes.....and all eyes came to our table, my friend turned scarlet ...pulled her mobile from her pocket ..and a nanosecond , our librarian was standing looking down on her mobile..yess he had snatched it from her the moment she took it out....everything happened so swiftly...she didnt realise anything ...the librarian got wings and flew away...along with her mobile.

SCENE 3:
"Sorry sir, please sir....we wnt carry it again sir, sir please sir..sir please" "sir pleasee sir..give back the mobile sir, sir i didnt read the notice sir, sir , i wasnt well, i had jaundice , i came to college after a week sir, ( people can go to any length to save their mobiles, and my friend was no exception)
ONE HOUR LATER:
"sir????"
our sir: "what happened??? what do u think?? you'll say please please ..and i'll give your mobile??? this mobile will go to the director sir, the registrar, the vice chancellor, the prime minister and bla bla bla"

my friend: "sir please sir, last time sir"

the girl was nearly crying, chanting sorry sorry incessantly. She was next to tears when i could take no more and interrupted.

me: " Sir , please sir, we are standing here for one hour now, she is saying she didnt read the notice , please sir, show some consideration"

SIRRRR: "OKAY...so now u will tell me what to do??? do'nt u know mobiles have been banned ??" followed by a lecture on the harmful effects of mobile phones on people, right from moral issues to heart problems and cardiac arrests...an what not..thank god ..he didnt mention genetic mutation...
HALF AND HOUR OF MORE HAGGLING...AN CAME THE FINAL BLOW

ME: "sir, do u know, engineering colleges are going wi-fi, and here we can't even carry our mobile phones??? "

MY SIR REPLIED : "HUMEN NAHEE HONAA HI-FI....HUM TO AISE HI ACHCHE HAIN....HI-FI LOG THEEK NAHEE HOTE"

I was staring at him..staring hard....i said meekly "Sir hi-fi nahee, wi-fi, umm it means we can access the intenet from anywhere in the campus"

SIRR: "So what, that you can do now too..just take a pc anywhere in the campus, take some wires, join them to the lab and access internet....U girl, dont try to fool me .i know everything"

We were still in a state of trance, and it looked like we'll have to part with 500 bucks, then again..a sound ......beep beep beep .....beep beep beep....my friend shook her head ..silently cursing whosoever was sending her messages at this unholy hour...she looked at her cell lying on the table but it was silent...when the beeps didnt fall silent , our librarian, very casually slided his hand in his pocket, pulled out a phone and without looking at us, started talking . We were standing there with folded hands , and i was rehersing some lines for him , then suddenly , he took my friend's phone in hand, gave it to her, and said, " go now, i've excused you this time, be careful the next time"
WE DIDN'T THANK HIM OBVIOUSLY .....AND LEFT THE LIBRARY WITH OUR HEADS HELD HIGH..
YOU SEE, not all adventures are disasterous !!!
