Location: My college campus
A: “Oops! What is going on here yaar?”
B: “Westernization of de college, I guess! But it’s a temporary glitch! Don’t worry yaar! We’ll return back to normal soon!”
A: “Oh yeah! Since when had the Occident been colling on Sundays, huh? Nywayz, I LHUUUUVVVV COLLEGE” 
. So, whoz it this time?”
B: “No idea! Some orgie’s* gonna give us some accreditation sorta thingie!”
*orgie -> organization
I really never heard such a conversation in the campus, but am goddamn sure that various forms of the above conversation have been buzzing throughout the campus, or had been archived in Yahoo’s Messenger database within the past 1 week or so. True! Students did have class on a Sunday. But wait! There’s more! The scenario is simple, and a common one in almost any Govt. organization that I’ve encountered. Any renowned orgie, let’s say A, visits another orgie ‘B’ for evaluation purposes. And this orgie B, (for our experiment it will be a college 
) suddenly TRANSFIGURES (The word is capitalized just for ‘the Potter effect’) in almost every possible aspect, all in one fell swoop!!
First and foremost, the usually unnoticed notice board was brimming with so much information that you were ONLY gaping at it and by the time you realize the same, someone solicits an “Excuse Me” to stuff in something more, which to your inevitable surprise turned out to be TODAY’S NEWS!!! (Aaha! Avanaa neeyi?) I personally feel that excessive colors must’ve been avoided, thou. It gave the board a yucky look!
Then there were those swamps forming groups of lagoons among themselves, which disappeared overnight. Could any change have been faster? Yes!! There’s one! And I’ll put this suspense element in reserve. But as for now, the path that I’m speaking about (the one that leads to the Ladies’ mess) was so clean. Those muddles of stagnant rain water were concealed by sand. Wow! So that becomes a mock beach-walk:-), 3 times a day! 
:-)
To cap them all, there were dustbins throughout the main road of the campus, on either side that emerged out of the intergalactic space I guess! Separate dustbins for biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes! How does that sound? But, unfortunately, I’m not kidding! New, polished, UNUSED disposal bins!! Perfect!!!
Am not giving any more examples, assuming u can frame em!!
N yeah! The highlight of the day, and may be your entire college life (if you had been a part of orgie B) – College on Sunday! The Sunday that everyone makes special plans for… The Sunday on which you ve the full liberty to wake up as and when you please… Gosh! The classes were conducted promptly. But, my classes,…… Ahh! Wellllll! Uhmmm! Errrrr! No, forget it! 1 thing’s for sure! The only thing on earth that has the power to resist ANY catastrophe would be the infinitesimally small ratio of the actual and framed hours of our classes! And when I say it, I mean it!
Surprises! Surprises! Surprises Everywhere!!
Little things can make you feel so better! But what exactly was preventing the management from doing all these little things earlier? Not that we didn’t feel good earlier… True – all these new decors would have left an impact on the visitors, would add to the natural beauty (1 of the assets of orgie B:-)). But, they do serve some useful purpose, save classes on Sunday So, why weren’t they done earlier? And when the visitors leave, the orgie B returns to its original state. Why have these essential amenities juz been flaunted, rather than being used?
Furthermore, should the organization, accentuate the physical appearance so much? After all, the excellence and skills shine from the inner self, right? Course, a distinct first impression is essential! But, how long can you sustain in someone else’s unfitting robes? If appearance is so important, it must have been inculcated right from the alpha, or at the least, must have been practiced thoroughly. Not fulfilling either criterion, orgie B looked as if it had been jinxed, the other day. But then, the excellence and skills of the people (people includes EVERYONE in the orgie) who comprise of orgie B were not deeply scrutinized, for the welfare of few and ill-fare of none. (Ahem! Ahem!) But still, that’s the most awesome n unnoticed aspect of orgie B! (Phew! Finally managed to say something good about orgie B!! Hurray!)
And yeah, before signing off, time to break the suspense element, as I had promised earlier… Something that’s faster than the disappearance of the swamps of orgie B – THEIR REAPPEARANCE!!
Bye for now,
Sindhu
(Keep Smiling:-))
