Roving Eye
ChEd and Sp. Correspondent Sethia
It has been a long time since the
poison pen had its say, but now we are back to snooping around some more,
assaulting the personal and social lives of the members of the community.
So, let the fun begin.
Where do we start…with the appointments, of course! The candidates for
School Captaincy were caught up in a major dilemma as they could not decide
which language to deliver the Founder’s Day Speech in, so, to be sorry
rather than safe, two of them decided to take lessons in ‘how to speak
English effectively’, whereas the third took a bold decision in trying to
start off a new trend by wanting to give the speech in his foreign, but our
native, language (obviously, all of them were scoping hardcore). Contrary to
belief, the basketball reign came to an end and cricket grabbed the throne.
The dark fish, who is apparently invisible due to bad light, took away the
post and has, reportedly, already appointed a Vice-School Captain
(unofficially, of course) who was seen by our correspondents buying a packet
of extra soft Huggie’s nappies.
There were not many surprises in the prefectorial appointments of The Doon
School and the other High School affiliated to it, but the hot_male of the
High School was surprisingly AXEd out of the competition. The other fish in
H House (his physical features surprisingly matching those of the School
Captain’s) has developed an uncanny ability to nail Vedic Maths. It has been
reported that certain A formers in H House are getting prefe(ct)rential
treatment thanks to their close ties with WGHS. In Tata House, the
philosophy, ‘ram naam japna paraaya maal apna’ has been working wonders for
the maz-turned-Captain who was joined in his profitable venture by none
other than the Tarzan of Tata College. The unquotable machine from J House
has apparently broken himself and shows no signs of early repairs (that
explains why we are running short of UQs in the Weekly). Our
Chief-of-Production had a thousand smiles (or was it tears!?) when he was
appointed prefect and COP soon after, but it has to be said that he is
bearing the pain in a rather poetic manner as he symbolises death, war and
destruction (massacre of the Chief Ed maybe?) in all his literary works.
The leader of the newly-formed D(h)oom Machale gang has just appointed a
reliable spy, who is incidentally a great lover of the song ‘kehte hain log
ki badi HOT hoon main.’ The sale of Bajaj Pulsars has reached new heights
ever since masters have been trying to emulate the leader and develop the
John Abraham look (or is it the Mr. Cool syndrome?).
It was a bad season for bird-watching (at YPS) but the sky certainly did not
fall short of any cricket balls as they touched the stars and never came
back (star-gazers’ paradise). The sardar from Patiala reportedly massacred
our side as his score alone was more than enough to beat Team Doon’s
performance with the bat. We suspect that the broken hearts of various
players on missing out on their favourite sport (where are the birds???) was
the major cause. Handing over to Chief Lend now:
Happy Birthday to the scopat-stopped-scoping Chief Ed (or is it chief lend?
That is definitely debatable…) of The Doon School Weekly and congratulations
to him for not yet using Dabur Amla hair dye (or was it Dabur Amla Kesh
Tel). Magar (array bhai!!!) baal toh jhadh gaye!!!
So, finally, the first imprint on paper by the new poison pen (which
accidentally happens to be a Montex Mint) is embossed and we too are bound
to say goodbye until we are back again. So watch out, we have no mercy.
