Compilers-II: The Students Strike Back

(Background Music + Scrolling Text)

After the MSIL assignments were given, the student community had gone into hiding.. but for how long? They were on the verge of crossing the dreaded LOC- thanks to the 85% attendance rule. On the other hand, Darth Vader (not trappi :D) had other plans. He was luring the students towards the "dark side of the force" by offering RAships. Multiple Anakin Skywalkers were born, who betrayed the student community and crossed over to the dark side of the force, unable to resist the temptation. One by one, they were losing their forces. It was now or never for the student community.

24th October, '05

Around 11:15 itself, he finished his ppt (aftre he was done with his usual share of histrionics). People were filled with a false sense of hope. They were just waiting to get out of the class after the rollcall. And suddenly out of nowhere, the feedback guys made their entry. At first everyone was flustered and agitated, but then **evil grin** this was the chance that they had been waiting for, to get back at him. So the students started racking their brains, and came up with real creative comments, sure that they would be read in the next class. But he was as unpredictable.. He decided to read the comments then and there (took an hour extra, but was worth it).. He was amused, stunned, puzzled, dejected and.. (cant think of any more adjectives or shud i say epithets? :D) at the same time.

The comments went somewhat like this..

  • Compilers sucks. Zulu rocks. (Took him some time to understand that :D)
  • Stop doing BC. Live and let live.
  • The dean tortures compilers students more than how surya kantham tortured his daughters- in- law. (suryakantham is a famous telugu actress who was the ideal mother-in-law :D)
  • We thank you for the excellent gaming facilities in IIIT.
    We request a Plasma television and a Home Theater system in the hostels.
    We would also like AC's in rooms. =))
  • At the same time, we need high-end graphic cards, and better gaming facilities.
  • We want 50% reservation for girls. (Think this was the Mag effect). He thought that this was written by a girl.
  • We want two beds to be installed in the class premises so that we can take a nap too.
  • Somebody might commit suicide after attending your depressing class.(He was slightly concerned here.)
  • Would you like to suggest this course to a friend? Yes, so that he understands our levels of frustration. :-)
  • And finally, the killer blow. You are too old to teach. Its time for you to retire. I dont know who wrote it, but in my opinion, it was a very heartless, cruel thing to do. Rubbing salt on one's wounds..
So there you have it. Now suddenly a calm had descended over his face. There was a slight hint of panic on his face. Was it the decline of Zulu's era? Would these comments put an end to his dictatorship?

To be Continued...
