This one is pretty famous amongst the CSE batch of ’09, and no points guessing is associated with the famous Head of Dept we had during those times. For purpose of leisure reading and maintaining privacy, I’ll take the liberty to hide original names as much possible.
As the folklore goes, CSE HOD was a superhuman. Gifted with heightened senses, brain power and supreme agility (ref: lightning fast slaps) he was also superb at multitasking . One of these tasks being keeping a vigil at the dept. entrance to see who misses the 9 am lecture bell. Day in day out, he would catch hold of students who overslept their quota of assigned human sleep benchmark and then “punish” them in his own unique ways. Most of them ending up with either a ‘gentle’ conversation with the victim’s father and/or an ‘apology’ letter.
His victim in this case was Cabby. Cabby was a stereotype genius. He would not “study” during the semesters devoting as much time possible to playing strategy games like ‘Warcraft’ and ‘AOE’ (to increase grey cell count of-course) and still pick up any course book 1 night before exam and score a neat figure. With sufficient supply of Haldirams Bhujia and over-the-top dosage of Coke.
