Part 2... My affinity with Bunking

After securing a good percentage in my 10th board exams, getting an admission into a top Commerce college was quite easy for me. But my selection criteria for the college, i eventually selected was very simple. It should be near to my place, so i do see its face regularly. With this frame of mind, i started off college. In the first weeek I managed to attend all the lectures, thanks to the Anti - ragging squad of my college (didnt let us out of class, even in the break!!)
So, the first week got over, and I bunked this English class, maybe because I had never done so earlier in my school life. Or because of some voices in my brain shouting out aloud that i should enjoy the freedom for which I had been long waiting for, or maybe because of one reason alone: our principal gave us a speech about managing our attendance well, and she was our ENGLISH professor!!!

Well, that was the first time and there has been no looking back since then. Even now, as i sit to write this post, I have decided to bunk 2 lectures in the morning because of the sole reason that i have attended too many lectures of that subject (my attendance is well above 90%), And being a MBA (under-training) i should know to manage my attendance (Optimum utilisation of resources!!)

Being the first year of college, I attended quite a few lectures, almost 60. But that was it!! That was the highest i could ever attend in my Commerce college. Next year, that number came down to 30. and the year after to 3, then 2 and 1. 

But my Bunking spree never stopped. And then, there used to be my Accounts classes. How can i forget the accounts classes that i had joined in my second year!! I never even saw my teacher's face in that year, even after paying the fees. (No, I am not exaggeratting, I have witnesses in people who have bunked with me)

Well, talkin about people who have bunked with me, I cannot escape the mention of friend, Hardik. Well, bunking with him was a joy. We not only bunked our college lectures together but also our accounts classes (tuitions). We would always be on the lookout for excuses to bunk. One single expression of dissappointment, on the mention of classes would be considered like a very big excuse. ;)

The joy you get from bunking is so great, that when you finish college start working, you miss it!! U feel that whether you should have been in college, just to bunk those classes all oover again. Well, that doesnt happen, so here i am doing my post - graduation, bunking my classes, but of course, (with some constraints) keeping in mind that i am a manager-in-the-making. :D
