the overenthusiastic student

There was once a school-going little boy, who liked to answer the
teacher’s questions in the classroom. Whenever the teacher asked any
question, he would lift his hand enthusiastically “me me me I know I
know”. The teacher being bored of seeing his hand go up, would
look around and pick someone else or maybe some unfortunate victim who hadn’t been paying any attention. But this boy would all but stand on the bench hoping that he’d be asked. Eventually would ask this boy if nobody else lifted their hand.

Not that he got the answers right of course, but he would usually want to try
anyway! 😉

But however sure he was of the answer, there was a usually a certain
discipline in not giving out an answer unless the teacher asked him.

Somewhere down the line, Sanjay seems to have lost a bit of that restraint over the years… He better try to get it back again!

    This morning I missed the morning shuttle – the next one is only at 11:15. I came back home, and sat in the hall. My mind wandered around and I started thinking of yesterday’s meeting. Ok let me assume that they were really not interested. There are some regrets that I could’ve presented myself better…
