Chapter 2 Sanchita’s Ruinous Rostrum

• Sanchita was
• aghast at how many of her friends failed to answer what life is?
• Finally when
• the question came to her, she answered,
• “It is still
• an unsolved riddle waiting to be solved”.
• The entire
• class looked at her face with wide opening mouth and round eyes.
• “Everybody,
• give a clap for Sanchita”.
• The
• classroom vibrated with the claps at the command of the gorgeous lady.
• “Hello
• students, I am your new teacher and I will be teaching you Psychology. I am
• Enaya, Enaya Zaman,
• Psychology
• comes from GREEK roots.....psyche- meaning soul, spirit or breath and logia-
• meaning study”. The class continued but the sounds became fainter and fainter
• and finally inaudible for Sanchita. A strange whizzing sound surrounded both
• her ears. The strong vibrations of a train far away acted as a magnet and
• without waiting for a second, Sanchita rushed out of the classroom.
• All the
• students stunned at Sanchita’s behaviour couldn’t make out what happened to
• her. It was their first day, first class of the new session and Miss Enaya was
• a new comer. For her, this was a normal case. She thought Sanchita bunked the
• class as students of her age usually do when they don’t like the lectures in
• the class. The class ended and Miss Enaya hunted for the student who escaped
• from her class not silently but with a sudden outburst. It didn’t take a long
• time for her to reach Sanchita. In fact Sanchita was sitting on the last bench
• of the next class which was lying vacant.
• Miss Enaya
• had a deep look at Sanchita, a symbol, nodal point of generation next. A
• jumper, cargo and converse shoes added to her ruffian looks.
• “Hello, here
• you are! Finally I found you. I think, my first class was very boring”.
• Arranging
• her top knot in a daring looks, Sanchita looked at the front door of the class. With eyes
• focused at the stranger, Sanchita spoke out.
• “Mam, I
• forgot your name. In fact I was in a different realm when you entered the
• class”.
• “It’s Ok; I
• think you have a free class now. If you don’t mind, can I sit with you in your
• back bench?”
• “It will be
• my pleasure, Mam”, with these words, Sanchita stood up from her lethargic
• creepy posture and gave a welcoming smile to Enaya.
• “Mam, you
• are new in our College, let me tell you something about the fight we had last
• year”.
• “Wow! What was the issue and what you felt, you won the fight or you lost it”.
• “Mam, myself
• is Sanchita, I will not tell you much about myself, and you will know it
• yourself. My attitude, my thinking, my dreams made me all alone and I am left
• with no friends. I don’t care, I don’t fear, I do whatever I like; is my
• description in a nut shell. As Sanchita was speaking, a tattoo
• GN
• pierced on her left arm caught
• Enaya’s attention. Enaya admitted, this tattoo added glamour to her damn care attitude.
• “So, Sanchita, anything more, you want to say”.
• “No Mam”.
• “You told you had a fight last year, what it was”.
• “The entire
• college was sectioned into two. Some of the students demanded no uniforms and
• some demanded it”.
• “And I think
• you were in the opposition and you won. Your dress code says everything. Am I
• correct?” Spoke Enaya as if she were the greatest detective of her time.
• “Mam, do you
• remember, what I told you about myself. Once again I am repeating........
• Myself is Sanchita, about myself, you will know it yourself. I just want to tell you that this is my 2nd last semester and I was suspended 3 times from the college.
• The bell rang and the conversation was disturbed in between.
• “OK, Mam, I
• have my class, I will have to leave now”.
• Sanchita left the classroom. The conversation Miss Enaya had with Sanchita, left her dumbstruck.
• “What a girl! Oh my God, what a girl! I was mesmerized at her tomboy looks and her hypnotic communication was mind blowing. I will have to collect some information about this girl”. With these currents of thoughts, Miss Enaya headed towards the teachers common room.
• Enaya walked briskly down the corridor to the staffroom and sat quietly on the corner of a desk. Her presence in the room didn’t seem to bother anybody. Some of the teachers gave a fake smile at looking her. Suddenly her eyes fell on different notice boards hanged at different places in the staffroom.

• A silent voice vibrated in Miss Enaya’s ears..............................................
• “I am Sanchita, I will not tell you much about myself, and you will know it yourself”.
• Sanchita’s versatile nature left a lasting impression on Miss Enaya.
• ********************
• “It’s true
• that she is the best student in the college but her introvert nature stands as
• an obstacle in her career. It’s just because of her dynamic performance she is
• still in the college. In the last two years, she was suspended three times.
• Still I say Sanchita is the best student in the college”.
• As the
• Principal was speaking, Miss Enaya wondered why and how can a best student be
• suspended, a bit dilemma.
• “Thanks for the information, Sir”.
• “Wait, this is half information you got from me. Since you asked it yourself, let me tell
• something about Sanchita’s outlandish behaviour”.
• “Sorry to interrupt in between, but Sir, it will be better if she choose me to share about herself”.
• “As you wish; best of luck Miss Enaya. It needs lots of guts to cognize a ruffian Tomboy. Moreover if she is a brilliant student and best in everything, except her unconstrained wild short temper.
