Part I - The Madness Continues

“Hey ma is Breakfast ready?” Sid called out.

“Yes Sid, I have Idlis, Rice, Chutney and Rasam.”

“Not again ma! You know I hate that stuff!”

“Sid, what more do you want me to make at this hour? Moreover this food is good for your health.”

“Alright, I’ll make myself some noodles then.”

“But all this food ….”

“Just chuck it ma.”

With this, he strode into the kitchen without a word to his mother and started making his noodles.

About half an hour later, he was speeding across West-Off chord road and was already late for his college.

He was about to overtake an elderly man on an Activa when a Bus passed them; the old man slowed down with visible apprehension at the sight of the Bus. Sid narrowly missed crashing into him.

“Hey you idiot! Learn to ride!” was all he managed to shout at the old man before he sped away on his Bullet.

About 10 minutes later …

“Please come for the Next Class”

“But ma’am I was stopped by Traffic Police! That’s why I’m late!”

“You always have some Excuse. Please leave the class.”

“But …”

“Don’t disturb the students who have come early! Leave the class now!”

He gave her the Dirtiest look he could muster before slamming the classroom door.

He had half a mind to lock it from outside, but he was in enough trouble with the teachers as it is.
