disillusion and despair has many faces.way more than you and i have discerned.
im just guessing how many!
the department i am in,comprises a swarm of people all abuzz with activities.
they dont yap.they dont while away time.they dont even squat on twos gazing listlessly at passers by,head resting on chin munching on a dhoper chop... for days at an end.
shudder!blasphemy.dear god.NO!!!
they study.and when they are not doing that,they discuss studies.or else if they are having one of those i-don-feel-like-studying-today days, they troop into the library and look up references.
ugh!!tear hair.yell.guffaw.tear more hair.grit teeth.ughhhhhh again!!!
and when they are doing neither of the above,they photocopy reading materials.
sheafs of pages.piles of books.plethora of notes/print outs/ downloads.
its a routine now.class ends.teacher exits.a motley crowd of pupils exit simultaneously.(how that is mathematically feasible,given the length and breadth of the door,size of each,is not point of concern right now)
the motley hurries down the stairs and troops into the library.
(imagine napoleons army,racking and plundering everything that catches their eye)
within minutes the motley has gone further down(puns intended!)
they are in the xerox centre now.books/papers/notes in tow-nudging jostling one another for space.a few more minutes and you see them returning.there! work done for the day.
this has been happenning for quite sometime.enough to drive an indifferent me up the wall.
i have had it.i cant take it anymore.
i wish all these narrow minded academia-centric prepostorous dextrous morons rot in hell!
ugh!
