Life's most piquant situations!

Dear Laxmi
The sadistic nature of the teaching faculty is something that is mindboggling! They seem to know how exactly to embarrass the students. You memorise nine out of ten poems ans they'll ask you to recite the only one that you did not memorise!
My professor in Presidency College, a co-education institution, always excelled in embarrassing me in open class like this in front of all the girl students thus making sure that my budding romantic nature was never allowed to blossom in full! It would appear as though he was kind of jealous of my popularity with girls and he did such things deliberately!

Dear Sr. Sri,

Trust you to come up with such ramblings.

Why is it that the more important the client, that one of the original document sits on my table and the courier has picked up the packet and gone?

And only when the statements are all drawn up and copies printed, that the difference of 41.63 rises and has to be found out immediately?

And, Chithra, I just loved your responses -- too good.

Dear Chitra
You remind me of my bank days when there were no computers, no adding machines and to reconcile a difference of 9 paise we had to toil for 9 hours wading through heaps of vouchers! 9 means jumbling figures, 45 typed as 54, 65 typed as 56 etc. All said and done, it was pure fun and the camaraderie that prevailed among the late sitters was unbelievable!
Sri
