Teach the teacher !!!

Dr Joy was a far sighted man but off late he has developed a short sightedness which was a school kids domain and unlikely to happen with an adult. Prof Ram called it a family myopia,sardonically of course but accurate when considering his love for his family which almost made him blind.........His son and his son in law were in logger heads already and both very rarely even talked to each other.........

Adding to the confusion was Dr Joys daughter in law, Dr Jesus's wife ,the very respected Anna Xavier whom the GIM world considered as a Beauty with brains, a rare combination in the GIM family. Anna was a Mumbaite ,Catholic and well educated with tremendous work experience and probably hence possessed well admired public relations and human management skills ( which all others seem to lack in a stricking common feature). She was sweet to the core, listened to people and offered solutions and solace. She had only one thing in common with her husband Jesus and that was their love for the church and evangelism. Anna left with her family, the trappings of the catholic church to be " born again" and met Dr Jesus somewhere in the loud world of the new borns.....the rest is history.......

Anna, finally , after 'a lot of persuation', as per an official note circulated by Dr Joy, 'agreed 'to join the GIM as an administrator of academic affairs. Dr Joy wanted her to come in to the GIM family and provide some fresh blood into it ,a good intention of course to cleanse the system which was riddled by cliques and clashes, classes and chaos and confusion from head to top....and so here she is, in a role again which no one knew what she will be doing there.....

Sri laxmi walked into the class with slow dragging steps, like a thief would do in the middle of the night...The large place threatened her.... a topper in her MBA which she passed just an year back, she always wanted to be teaching in a business school, neither for the admiration for the profession nor for the ardor to contribute to the development of it, but simply because her tradition bound parents wouldnot allow her to work otherwise.

She send an application with a one page CV attached, when GIM had called last time for faculty recruitments( another regular drama that GIM undertook, foolish for others but a smart way of advertising as per Dr Joy), the VC called her for interview and because she looked good and could speak english, was appointed as a faculty in the Marekting area of GIM....

The charectors in the faculty office tried their level best to make her uncomfortable, as they did with every new entrant.....
telling her spiced tales of how the ever-over expecting crowd,whom they call 'students', in GIM would behave with you......
how this piece of paper which the student gets to fill at the end of every course, which they call 'faculty feed back' would behead you....
how thankless the deadly devils, whom everyone called 'the management' would suck your blood out and leave you empty and alone...

She was terrified and the prospect of walking into a class which is a semi theatre with almost 100 young boys and girls sitting there with scepticism freely circulated along with the cold air from the Air Conditioners......

The moment she introduced herself and the course which she was to 'teach them', hands went up in the air.....

Mam do you have experience in sales..?

Mam you are just one year senior to us, how can you tach us the complexities of sales as a subject and practise..?

Mam.. Mam.

Mam do you...

how?

what?

Mam...

It was a semi dark room, and even other wise she wouldnt be able to see anything.......

She wanted to tell them that the VC of GIM has prejudiced her that as long as she is beautiful (which she is) and she has the command over the language, she could teach anything.....

She ,but didnt want to tell them that for her this was a stop gap arrangement, when someone comes asking for her hand in marriage, this job will make her more saleable....
