Chapter 4
'Students,did you all understand?'asked my anatomy sir,Dr Chowdry. A tall,half bald and a smart guy with a nerdy spectacles.From his enthusiasm,I think he memorized every single things about head and neck overnight and vomiting everything he remembered verbally in front of us.
'Did you all can listen?' he yelled again but this time pointing at the last bench students.I'm one of them here,at the last bench.I recalled an article that I read from Kevin M.D stated that never fall in love and last bench during med school.I guess I did it both.So nothing could be worse anymore.
'Yes sir,can',one by one,stood and said.
Their act resembled like an old Japanese army contingent because we the last benchers knew that we can't hear anything,still they lied to please him..Actually,it wasn't me who choosed the last bench.It was the only place left after all local student raced to sit at front .It was a rare mentality of them.-If you sit at front,the lecturers likes you.Once again,I was shy enough not to 'fight ' for the front row with them.
It was my turn and I stood up.My friend Jeeva whispered to me,'Say no,say no'.
'No sir,I can't listen',I said.
All the eyes turned back ,looking at me while I'm standing and wondering what crime I have done.I turned and looked at Jeeva,the fattest student in our class,proudly from Malaysia.He pretending as if I'm not there,a black hole just sucked me into it.I realized the fucker just set me up and I became the scapegoat of the day.
Dr Chowdry adjusted his spectacles and asked me with a monstrous, bug-eyed look,'It's your fault or mine,you sitting at the last bench?'
From his rude and irresponsible tone,I knew he is mad at me.I wish I could say 'why can't you use a microphone instead of whispering in front of 50 students and wish everyone could listen!'.
'It was mine sir',I said. One more heroic attempt ,I'm finish.So,i kept quiet.
'Then how could you blame me?'he asked with his sinister smile.
I just stand still without uttering a word ,hung my head in shame.
'Shit down!'he screamed literally and end the class.At that moment ,I realized that the lecturers here think themselves as God like creatures and not friendly at all like Malaysians.We must bow to them whenever we see them I guess .Once he left,all the local students looked at me and gossiping in Bengali like I had done a big crime,murder maybe.During my first class it self,I became pessimistically famous.Yet ,I never bother about them.I just worried about Isa,my first day crush,my country mate and my classmate now,I stole a glance at Isa.She was blurred as me too. I've never been humiliated this much .Thanks to this strange land that gave me the chance..
