It may be one of the stupidest places in the whole of Bangalore.
So, I had my physics practical exams the other day, and the experiment I was given was the simplest of all, Vernier calipers. I finished my experiment in about half an hours time and submitted my exam sheet and gave her a demonstration of the whole experiment.
She stops me, and asks me the difference between length and breadth. I told her, "the longer side's the length and the smaller side's the breadth". She erupts into a fit of anger and starts to randomly yell at me and draws the attention of the so-called-obedient classmates of mine who just wait to catch up on any kind of gossip that flies by. She then tells me the same old thing that she says to every other student, "You students have a lot of attitude these days". I mean seriously lady? What's the connection between dimensions of a wooden block and student attitude?. She continues, "The shorter side is the length. Don't you have some kind of common sense? Look at your hair, so ugly, tie it up. Blah blah blah". Now, this is where she crossed her lines. NOBODY talks about my hair the way she did and to me, my hair is my prized possession. Heck, every girl's prized possession is her hair. The lady was not stupid, she was STOOPID with two Os. My "physics" lab invigilator doesn't even know the freaking difference between length and breadth of a wooden block.
What a weird, weird world.
