I was on a forced hiatus courtesy the obsolete system’s functioning and me being trapped inside it. Anyway this is a humorous take on the atrangi species in a college. Here it goes.

I remember asking my mom when I was a little kid, that why are other people different? Why can’t everyone be like me? She used to calmly tell me, "It’s a big world and you will rarely find someone who is like-minded and majority people you may stumble upon will be different than you. You’ll meet many kinds of weird people ahead in your life. This is just the start. You’ll know later what I am talking about". And I am realising what mom meant and after experiencing it all I can say is, damn! Oh God Why?

A class of 70-80 students has some typical categorizations. The typical idiosyncrasies are overtly observable in all of the colleges and institutions. Some sections are overlapping with its allies which some lie aloof and proudly declare themselves as something different.

THE NERDS
May not exactly qualify as the 'nerd' but this set includes those who follow all rules religiously, write down everything whatever is dictated in the class and are extremely prompt as far as assignments and journal work is concerned and are neat and organised in their submissions. Someone said, be good to nerds, you may need one’s help in the future. Yes! Assignments chaapne ke liye aise log are the best and have to be the relied on.

THE TYPICAL NERDS
Well, the typical nerds are a little step ahead of the simpleton nerds. They can sometimes be non co-operative as far as helping is concerned. Their main motive is competing with the rest and ensuring by hook or by crook they top the class. During Exams they can be hostile and see to it that you are not helped in the proper way! I mean get a life guys, marks are not everything!

THE LOOKS
There is at least one dude who is eyed by majority of the girls in the class, Same goes for the woman. There is at least one girl that every guy wants to go out with. In the end nothing happens!

THE BACKBENCHERS
These are the targeted lot who feel proud in being badasses. The stereotyped section who is always made to stand up and answer questions and as expected no one knows a shit as chatting, whatsapp, fb is the main focus on the last benches. This lot is supposedly the cooler one and basically chilled out folks who enjoy every moment of their last bench seating. Cell phones are an primary reason for choosing the last bench.

THE MASS BUNK RUINER
This person is disdained thoroughly by the entire classroom for not being a part of the MASS BUNK PLAN. This person is very much interested in lectures and loves to attend college to study. He/She is hated the most for ruining the epic plan of bunking and has to be mostly dragged out of the class to make the plan a success. Sometimes this person co-operates under peer pressure but later after everyone leaves returns back to the class for attendance. Now who’s the real badass?

THE ‘I DON’T GIVE A DAMN CATEGORY
This category is my personal favourite. The practical guys who attend college for attendance and doing tp with their friends. The people who sit behind in the classroom and do everything but pay attention to whatever is being blubbered. Write assignments haphazardly and without any goal just blindly sit for lectures for attendance. These people do not care about grades on assignments/journals but make it a point to study whenever there is an exam and mostly the backbenchers and “I don’t give a damn” category students score the most outwitting the nerds and the typical nerds.

Despite some of these categories, there is always unity with respect to writing journals and the co-ordination during submissions is phenomenal. This is what makes it even more beautiful actually. Lazy people, careless jerks, geeks all in one harbouring environment. This is what an institute is all about and however the categories are, they are always integrated into one parent category called FRIENDS without whom this phase is merely books and crap.
