A brief history of geography mentors: Three Idiots





I was individually labelled my most at school as a genius. Guess they made a mistake. But there were some teachers who were smart enough to see through my lack of genius especially when it came to getting caught . We were three sheeb, jas and me.... we were indecent together and decent individually. Anyway that is how we consoled ourselves... every time we got caught we would point to each other and say.. oh you little devil cause my reputation a burden...i am far better off alone...  but within hours we would get back to each other somehow the indecency the togetherness brought us was more comforting than the decent picture of the convent clad 'angelic 'self.




One thing was certain if the three ever sat together.... disaster to selves and disruption to class.
Me...somehow our geography teacher a terror otherwise Angelique by name did not see through the fact that I was just another devil...she mistook my apparent quietness which people still mistake for an intellectual sign....she was of the opinion that anusha alone was an angel, anusha with two other devils was misled. This horrid mistake was an irritant especially for jas since our geography teacher was also part of her family tree...one of her grand aunts and so the burden was something she carried both personally and academically.....
They?(the other two idiots) were insistent that the teacher see through the fact that am a devil just like them. So it was decided that we sit together through the class and whatever punishment be shared equally....Madam. Angelique eyed us together like seeing the worst catastrophe in the world.... Sheeb and jas... her voice thundered ... go and sit in your respective places... They stood up, jasmine glared at me, sheeb stamped my toe before she walked back to her seat.....Anusha read that lesson out..... I stood up, perhaps i was a picture of the little angel in her heart... the entire class was dead silent through my reading not because of impressed awe but as a consequence of the fear of madam's dark moods. As i read" wheat grows well on loamy soil.... snap... i stopped reading and breathing...


 i was too familiar with that sound.... The straps that partially defined our teenaged girlhood.... I knew it was them, the other two idiots.... I managed to look up at Madam Angelique...God she was red with anger...and she was glaring in their direction.... she then turned to me... I read In a hurry 'cotton goes in loony souls'.... she yelled "stop reading" so I stopped reading and breathing at one go... She screamed in exasperation" YOU INCORRIGIBLE DEVILS COME HERE TO MY TABLE" 


 The two idiots walked to the table and stood huddled together but i knew they wanted to smash my face.... She asked them" what was that noise?" Sheeb said she pushed the chair behind but almost at the same moment jas said she pushed the desk backwards" " morons" madam screamed at her wits end ... i guess she knew what that sound was after all she too must have been  a teen aged adventurer before she became the old woman she was....She sent them both out of class and told me to resume my reading... but i could only read words because my mind was outside at the door of the classroom .....


After the class I stood before my two idiots as they counselled me on the values of friendship... That i was the worst devil they had known.. that it was a shame I was being thought an angel while i was a devil incarnate
