Laxmi 1 Swarthi Manushya

We were all at Laxmi on the auspicious occasion of Anant Chaturdashi (All Messes were closed) and Shakti suddenly goes:
Ham jo kuch bhi karte hai, woh khud ke liye karte hai. Ham agar padhte hai, woh khud ke liye hai. Ham khaana khaate hai, toh khud ke liye. Ham agar kisika bhala karte hai, toh woh bhi sirf isiliye ki hamein punya milein, woh bhi khud ke liye. Which implies ki ham sab swaarthi hai. which impliies swarth achchi cheez hai.

We tried to argue with him; he asked us to define "achchi cheez", we gave up.

Every time we discuss grades, Shakti gets nostalgic. We were sitting in Metro lab, and we had an hour and a half left before 5, when we can leave without having to hide our heads. For some reason, we started discussing aboutlab report submission and now I quote Shakti the great:

Hum school main kabhi reports seriously submit nahi karte the. Teachers mujhe sincere samajhte the toh main kabhi meri file complete karta hi nahi tha.

and out of nowhere, he goes on to:-

Main Sr. Kg main fail hua tha. Main Gaav main padhta tha aur unhone mujhe nursery se direct promote kiya tha. Mujhe Sr. KG main kuch nahi chamakta tha. Phir main yahaan pe aaya aur theek perform kiya. But main 6th main Science main fail hua tha. Lekin maine 10th main machaaya tha. Jume Shakespeare tha aur hum passages banaa banaa ke likhte the. Bahut majaa aata tha...
