From last three and half years, it’s a timing which I cannot forget, actually it’s a timing which no hosteller can forget, it’s the study time of the hostel, and the reason is that we are being constantly reminded about it by the authorities. Naah, I’m not going into all those, I just wanted to share an incident which happened last night.
I and three of my friends were in a double room. Although we gathered for study purpose, but it created little noise that attracted one of the authorities to our room.
Knock-Knock. I opened the door and there he stands. All of us in attention position! Although it was a serious offense but the moment turned funny when he told “pattiku, magaram masam pole aanu ninde karyam” we stared laughing. A laptop was there on the table, in which a movie folder was opened, he asked to delete it, Joyal(Annan) tried his maximum to persuade him that no movie ever resided in his laptop! When Annan felt that it wasn’t going to work then, he told that they were all documentaries. Authority told ”eda, njan delete cheyyam”. Annam did a clever job, he changed the view to small ones and deleted one movie “troy”. Authority asked him to delete all others,”eda, troy matram alla, ellam cheyada. ”
Another dialogue from Authority “ithinte akathu pattiku kazhikyan ullathu undu”. We couldn’t hold our laughs. Annan played his maximum, protesting it, and finally Authority told him to bring the laptop to his room, and asked four of us to take our chairs and invited us to his room for rest of our group study. While I was taking a chair from another room I heard him telling to one of us “……(something something)…….ketoda manu (pause) manuele”
One among us was from ECE, he told the Authority that he had come to take a movie from Annan and rest of us were studying. He turned to Annan “nee anoda ivide distribution cheyyane”. We were controlling our laugh until he said,
“ninde chachan anoda ividithe film distributor”
And we all started laughing. He gave us a final warning and we all returned. We entered the room, and busted into a laugh teasing Annan. Annan told that it was the second time he related his father to film industry. Previous time it was as film-director, now its distributor.
But for me, picture abhi baki hai mere dost. When I was leaving for my room, he again caught me and told “appzhu ninde room iviede onnum alle”, I told that I came for studying, he said “eda, nee udapu onnum ilathe aano padikyan vanathu”, he told that because I didn’t carried any note. I said that Annan already had notes. Then he said “eda, cherekan pokane alkarum atleast oru katrika kude vekkum!”
I reached my room, my roommate told that the same Authority came to that floor also and scolded few of them. I felt a little satisfaction hearing that.
Since we never expect such dialogues, that study time became an entertainment time for all those hostellers who were listening to that Authority’s conversation with us. And Annan was the real star that night!
