Class Participation and ME

This phenomenon has really been a mistery to me ever since i came to IIIT. The lecturers seem to be aghast as well as amazed, scared as well as brazen all at the same time at me!!
The case in point is my amazing "performance" and "class participation" in our very first course in iiit i.e. Computer Programming, where i had to prove my total lack of any knowledge of anything even distantly related to programming (like DNA programming) again AND again because the professor was too shocked to believe that, anyone can be in such a bliss (most probably he never heard of the saying "Ignorance is bliss"). He has strived hard in life trying to "extract" information which he thinks is painfully obvious from his students with his ever so excruciating and ofcourse, legendary dialogue of "WHY?? YOU TELL ME" (you will have the desired effect if you add a false malayali accent to it). I really had to try my level best at being my dumbest best in his class to escape from coming to the dreaded keyboard and actually coding a program which gives as an output the actual ingredients of a panacea for all the dreadful, incurable diseases in the world like AIDS, CANCER, LACK OF ATTENTION in his classes, etc. that too the exact concentration of each ingredient with a precision of atleast 10^(-23) and then, there is always that question about hmmm EFFICIENCY!!
Also, our dean's classes where the prime objective of all his slides and movies (no, not those fun movies where there is a person X in love with person Y who is also in love with Z who happens to be the killer of X's third daughter ) was to prove to the class that how scary i was and how my attendence was so abysmal, which, he didnt fail to recapitulate in EVERY class of his ( there was actually a time when i actually believed in his theory of lack of attendence of mine and thought that he might be taking special classes in my absense at a secret time and classified location!) and also, that 5 lacs of sponsorship (which i was supposed to fetch) for our cultural event, was the butt of his curiosity and he actually demanded a daily report from me for being lagging behind the schedule.
There was also this German class where there were actually questions based on me as the "central" character, that too in the mid semester and also the end semester exams!! He made it a point about how i can marry more than one woman and i couldnt miss that twitch in his lips, sparkle in his eyes, and a hint of green on his cheek which hinted of jealousy.
I can go on and on like this for each and every prof and each and every memorable subjects i have taken in my illustrious stay in IIIT. But as i have mentioned it earlier, i really dont recall much of any classes other than the only good effect they had and that was to get me sufficient "rest" and to hone my "passing time" skills "by looking attentive" when i was done relaxing for the day in the class.
The whole inspiration for this blog was today's Building Science class where i was supposed to do the honor of answering all the questions posed by the prof and that too when i was in the middle of the climax of one of the most interesting stories in the "Ruskin Bond Omnibus" containing "great crime stories, true tales of mystery and adventure and great suspence stories" (here i cant help but add that i own this copy personally signed by Mr. Ruskin Bond himself and yes i have a digital image of this to prove... manipulation of this image is out of question for the simple reason that i am not so good at producing image editing marvels like these which i believe require quite some talent and way toooo much free time!)
