Continues
from the previous post –
Shown
the Vibhawari sitting on the table where she had kept the
refreshments and the other boys occupying other seats and sofas in
the room. There is no sign of Rakesh, he is busy helping Vibha’s
mother in preparing potato wafers. Arun asks Vibha, “Who were those
two”?
“They
are friends of my colleague; they did their post graduation three
years earlier”. Vibha
“Where
this happened”? Mahesh
I
do not know exactly but if I am not mistaken it was in a village
called Charai somewhere in the Madhya Pradesh”. Vibha
“Have
you finished asking unimportant questions”? Arvind exclaims
nervously.
On
this Mahesh complains and insists that all this information is
essential for us to follow the story appropriately. Arvind waves his
hand to show his disapproval all the same, he keeps silent as
Vibhawari frowns at him.
“Please
Vibha continue the event, I am interested in the interview”! Arvind
articulates.
They
all look to each other and nod to agree and there the story
continues.
“My
first question is sir, why you carry this cane”? The young girl
puts up query to the teacher of that school.
“Well,
this is required to punish these brats, if you do not have it they
will take the school on there head and I shall not be able to teach
them anything”. Teacher explains further that it is practice in
all schoolteachers from the earlier time that a teacher holds a cane
to frighten students into discipline.
Can't
we control these children by affection? One girl asks. On that, the
teacher laughs loudly and repeats the words, affectionately! Showing
disapproval
The
two interviewers nod disapprovingly nevertheless continue the talk.
“What
you teach”? The young man puts his query
“Well,
almost every subject, since there is only me to manage this school
and so I have to teach them everything”. He replies with a smile
expecting approval from the two interviewers. .
“How
often you beat these small students with this cane”? Girl
“Very
often, it is necessary”. Answers lazily and showing his disapproval
for that question.
“Are
you married”? Young man
“Why?
Of course, How this question”? The teacher looks weary.
“Do
you have children”? Young girl
“Why?
Of course, I have two children but they are now big for this school”.
He gives some extra information and that makes the couple smile to
themselves.
