All fifty students were present ij the class and they were super excited to start today's session. Because, it's sunday tomorrow.

At one minute past nine, a tall professor came in to the classroom. He was wearing a brown framed spectacles and had a mean face. He was carrying a vintage model laptop and a black bag with him.

He kept the laptop on the table and asked a college staff to come to the class. A young boy, wearing a blue full sleeve shirt and black pant(his uniform) walked in. The professor handed a piece of newspaper to that boy and asked him to clean the dusty table and his laptop.

Shane was observing all this. When the boy started cleaning the table, Shane felt bad for that boy. Shane thought that the professor was a dick but, he wasn't.

After the staff left the class room, the professor closed the door, came to the center of the class and introduced himself.

'My name is Lal Mulchandi. I'm not a CA. I did MBA from Ahmedabad and now I work as a motivational speaker.'      said the professor, in his loud cracked voice.

Prof. Lal cont'd      'Every person sitting here is assigned a job. And all of you should do it with your heart. All of you wants to become a CA. But, only few of you will. That's a fact.'

The words of Lal pierced into the hearts of the students. The students weren't ready to accept the harsh truth and they felt down. To motivate the students, Prof. Lal gave a task to them.

The task was to make a skit about motivation, which should be of  atleast 15 minutes. He  wanted the students to make costumes for themselves and also wanted everyone's participation . Prof. Lal said that, he will provide the props to them.

The student's hoped for a 'The Devil wears Prada' movie costume but, Prof Lal surprised them with papers.
He gave sheets of newspaper to them and asked them to make constumes from it.

At perfect ten, Prof. Lal formed five groups of students , ten in each. Ritika, Shane, Abdul - a tall fat boy with curly hair, Prakash - an average Indian male, Reena - a short girl will straight black hair and five other girls were in Team A. Team A was tge fiest to perform the skit. So, without wasting any time, they started working in it.

Motivation? How can we make a skit on that? Everyone was confused.

But since the Team A had more population of Marathi speaking people, they decided to do a skit on Savitribai Phule.

Wait? Who is she?

The non marathi speacking students were a little confused because, the last time they heard her name was in their fourth grade marathi textbook. Savitribai Phule was the first female teacher of India and she played a vital role in bringing gender equality and improving womens rights.

Abdul, the boy who wanted to be the center of attention even when he is sitting in a room with Oprah Winfrey, Nelson Mandela and Denzeil Washington, called himself the leader of their group. He divided the group into two, the script and the craft. The script developed the story and the craft worked on the props. Ritika, Ananya - a brown, tall girl, Shane and two other girls, who never had any chances of getting their views heard, were in the craft team.

After few minutes of verbal fight, the story was ready. And after lot of confusions, Ananya was selected to play the role of Savitribai Phule.
Ananya sat on a bench, away from her group and read her dialogues.

'I can play the role of Savitribai Phule if there was no dialogues.'      said Ritika, in a low voice.

Abdul heard her.

Since, Savitribai Phule was an iconic role and Ananya was brown. They decided to give that role to Ritika, who was white because, they didn't  wanted any Oscar for best picture.

Shane suggested them to add a narrator to their skit and the whole story was rewritten. Ananya was given the role of a narrator and the other members of the team played small roles.

Trrr........
Adutha bellinodu koodi nadakam aarambhikunu

Trrrrr.....

Team A performed their Skit and it was shit. But, when compared with the others, their skit was a golden shit. And they won.

The best thing about this session waa, it brought the students together. The students who were stangers, became a little less than strangers and they started enjoying those little nine hours of their daily life
