The residential school I hail from has has four houses, just like Hogwarts. They go by the name Aravali, Nilgiri, Shivalik and Udaygiri. Each house has a house master who looks after the activities of the students of their particular house. Besides the house master, the office of second house master too is a prestigious post. The person concerned to this narration was the second house master of Nilgiri house, who was be our physical education teacher too.
Indeed, we Navodayan folks are known for trolling the physical education teachers (PET). Among the Homo Sapiens they're differently evolved creatures. I know some are normal, but that just might be because of mutations. Our weirdo too never failed to surprise us all. Apart from his other hilarious acts, this was the one I involved directly. It happened right in front of me, well I'm a survivor in most obvious ways.
It was a day when everyone was returning back from home after Diwali holidays. I was in 9th standard. I was at PET's as my parents wanted to meet him before they went home. We went to his home and seems that day the he was in charge of Nilgiri house as the first house master was away. The only thing he had to do that day was updating the registry. So, he sent me to call a senior from Nilgiri house to assign him process of registration of those who returned from home. A senior, Sunil Chini came with me. After he came, the PET started explaining him about the columns that are to be included in the registration book. Of course he did it by referring to previous entries.
He said to him..
“Draw few columns to enter Name, Name of Parent, Aravali time, departure time and signature". He couldn't pronounce the word 'departure' that's a different thing.
Right at the moment I was looking at the senior. He too was looking at me with a crooked smile. We had a story for the evening.
