I recently joined the CAT classes conducted by TIME Institute. A funny incident happened today and I just wanted to drop a line in my blog. Today's class was about Percentage, Profit and Loss. I was into batch C along with four other guys. Our batch had no gals as I anticipated. We had a combined class with batch B fellows for the PPL session and that batch had about 6 to 7 pretty women. The class was exciting and in the course of action I got completely engrossed in the session. The guy who always sits next to me, Dheena from some XYZ college kept on talking obnoxiously during the session and most of them were no where related to the topic that was dealt in the class. I kept asking him to be attentive in the class but he never actually listened to me. I stopped to pay attention to him and started working on the problems. The class got over at 8.30PM and we all packed our material and left the room.
While leaving, I paid close attention to the gals who were still sitting in desks and were working some problems. One gal said to the other, "Hey, this is not the right way to proceed the problem. When the discount and the profit are same... bla bla bla.." She continued. The other gals who left the room were also broaching the same thing. "Arjun invested Rs.2000 on 5% stock and his annual income will be ... " They rambled on. On the other side, Dheena continued his talks. "Ji, inikku namma aalu dress olunga pottutu varale. T-shirt kum bottom kum matching eh illa". I gave him a stern look and replied "Goiyala, onnu en aalu nu sollu illa un aalu nu sollu. Athu enna namma aalu?" "Ada, athu illa ji, ethukku pirichi pesanumnu paathaen. Avlo thaan" That was Dheena. I didn't answer him this time as so many thoughts were running on my mind and kept on walking towards my bike. "Ji, give me the keys. Let me drive." "Dai ennathukku? Ponnunga munnadi scene podava? Olunga pinnadi ukkanthu va. Key ellam thara mudiyathu. En aalu ava bike edukka vara. So naan koncham scene podanum" That was me.
Dheena looked at me furiously and said, "Ennamo koncha neram munnadi Vivekaanandar cousin brother mathiri pesuneenga? Ippo ennamo en aalu nu solreenga? huh?" I replied him, "athu illa machi. Rendu perume ore aala paatha prechana aayidum. So nee t shirt potta figure ah paaru naan chudi potta figura paakuraen. Deal okay va?". We both chortled and while driving back home I told him this,
"Oru vishayam gavanichiya? Class mudinchathum ponnunga ennamo naalaikke CAT exam vara mathiri ennama discuss panni padichittu irunthaanga. Aana nammala paaru. Intha figure enakku antha figure unakkunu vetti thanama pesittu irukkom. Ithula santhoshamaana vishayam ennenna, namma mattum illa. Ulagathula irukkura ella pasangalum ippadi thaan and ulagathula irukkura ella ponnungalum appadi thaan. Aandavanin padaippu appadi"
"Athu ennamo vaasthavam thaan ji"
"This is called Differentia" I answered him.
