Inspired
Left to myself I may not have blogged today. But the story goes thus:

I reluctantly walked into a certain Prof's class today. He is a person who has aught us for two semesters and we have not liked him greatly so far. Expecting the same to be the case today, I sauntered in. And the first thing he does is turns the whole orientation of the class around and makes us face the valley while he pulls a table to the middle of the class and hops onto it. He generally gives us the freedom to sit how we want, so we made ourselves comfortable. And he has this peculiar habit of making anything spoken by him or us written in our notebooks. So we take out our books and pen, and are prepared to face him.

The man that he is, he begins with, 'Ideology of ....', and then continues to say, 'Let me state my biases, then you state yours'. We look at each other (there he goes again!), his usual is, 'I am biased against the TV, I am biased against Privatisation, I am biases towards Anarchy, etc.', we were right and he continued, then it was our turn, as expected we had to write it down. The conversation was actually less about his biases than about the ideology itself. This made us feel so much better about the class. Finally he was not advocating his views, but actually looking for opposing opinions. So much fun!

Later he gave us assignments, five topics we need to write on. And that has actually inspired me to blog. The first assignment is - Symbi Lavale - a description (of the beauty, not of the shortcomings etc.). Once I finish that assignment, it will be up on my blog.

Yayyyyyy
