EPISODE-10 - The 14 sacred rituals
It was Megha’s second day and she was precisely the reason that for the very first time I was motivated to attend that boring accounts lecture. As usual, I was late… this time by 6-7 minutes only. The moment I sought permission from the professor to enter the class, everyone started staring me like I had just committed some ruthless crime and was acknowledging it in front of a heartless jury. My eyes were trying real hard to locate Megha but before my efforts could pay off, a loud voice interrupted my Concentration. It was our old mad man alias our Professor Nath. Without any moment of delay I wished him with a fake smile on my face, “Good Morning Sir“. Professor Nath replied with a devilish grin and twinkle in his eyes, “Good Morning young man. Naam kya hai tumhara ?“. (I knew it, inside; that this morning wouldn’t be good for me). “Rahul, sir!”, I replied in a voice as soft as that of a newly married young girl. Before I could move to take a seat, the devil spoke again, “Mr Rahul do you have a watch?”
Me - “No sir”
Nath – “Go and buy one, see you tomorrow”
Me – “… uh…. Sir… uh… I was late because…”
Deewakar Nath (yelling this time) – “you have already wasted 60 valuable seconds of 80 students. I don’t want this to continue. Move Out, see you tomorrow”
Now since I had been publically humiliated and thrown out of the class, I moved my ass to the computer lab to kill the 50 remaining minutes. I had nothing productive to do, so I decided to complete my 14 sacred rituals for the day.

The moment I sat to perform my rituals, I discovered facebook had been banned on the IBS Servers. That’s why the computer lab seemed uninhabited that day. Never-mind I used an online proxy server named “www.Hidemyass.com“ and successfully invaded the grounds of facebook. As soon as I logged in, I saw the most beautiful Poke I ever had. It was the reply of my Poke from Megha. Happily I jumped to ritual number two and to my surprise I received the best notification that facebook can ever offer which said “Megha Sharma accepted your friend request”; coupled with a message “hello, thanks for the friend request”. The river of contentment had started gushing inside my heart as they say “a thousand steps journey always starts from a Facebook Poke” (or from the first step… whatever )
14. Start Chatting.
Without any delay, I jumped to check her facebook profile and started Research work. The first thing that I looked for was her relationship status. “Wow! It says Single!” Her friend Count on Facebook was 286. She was just 24 hours old in the Campus and we already had 26 mutual friends (1.0833 friends per hour,24 boys ,2 girls) including my two roomies. Her profile pics album itself was so striking that one could stare for hours and the most eye-catching pic of that album was in a black outfit, black earnings and black stilettos. The Picture already had 103 likes and 87 comments and after reading them (yes, I read each ONE of them), I too decided to let out my fingers to type my feelings on the prettiest picture in the face book database. To my dismay all the appropriate words of English language like beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, amazing, pretty,jaw dropping and blah had already been used. After thinking for about 900 seconds I gave up and texted the wisdom man Baba Ji for help and he texted me back with a perfect comment via SMS which said –“Although you might be bored of listening to this 9 letter word ‘beautiful’ but sorry I HAVE TO repeat it, you are looking mind-bogglingly ‘beautiful’.
