Night study

Three characters: M, I, K – 12 std students.
Genre:Faction(fiction based on real incidents happened in 93-94)
Language:English to the maximum extent(due to requests from some friends)

I:“Dei, its been sometime we had night study together. How about one tonight?”

K:“Wait,Wait. We’ve had nights together, if at all it happens tonight, it should be the first time studying”

M:“We should make that today. Otherwise i am not coming. My twin sister is getting pretty good marks da. There is trouble at home if I don’t study.”

K:*Thank god I never had any trouble at home with all these bros and sisters*

K:“Location?”

I and M:“Same as usual. Your place.”

K:“No probs. tonight at 9.”

I and M come for dinner.

K’s dad and mom are happy that their son is going to study all night. K’s mom prepares the best chutney and Sambhar for dosa along with podi.

Dinner done.

In K’s study room. Door closed.

They actually turn the books for 2 minutes.

I:“Dei, one small break. There is a Coimbatore level schools cultural competition coming weekend in GCT. What if we practice Dumb Charades for 30 mins?”

M:silently glares at him

K:“Ok. but only 30 minutes.”

I:“See studying is going to be tough till 11. Once we cross that time, i can keep on till morning.”

M:thinks for sometime.

K and I:“Dei its ok da, koncha neram…”

M is the mimer

M:“Seri, now personalities name.” M starts miming the directions..

I:“Direction. North. South.”

M:Signals ‘more more’

I:“Vera ennada? North. South.”

K:“East?”

M:nods his head

K:“Eastman Kodak?”

M:“signals ‘more more’”

K:“Eastwood? Clint Eastwood?”

M:“yep.next.”

———–

This koncha neram stretches to 2 hours.

M:“Oops its 11 now, High time we studied.”

I:Yawns.“I think I had a dosa or two extra da. Feel sleepy.”

M: “I’ll Kill you. Better open your book.”

I:Keeps laughing“seri seri. let me open my book.”
Starts to laugh again.”You know what happened when me and S went to Murugan theatre the other day?”

M and K: “Murugan theatre? matter padam? Sollu sollu.”

I:”Me and S went late to the show. The movie had already started. Very hot scene. Good uncensored mallu movie and it was total dark inside the theatre. S went to a seat and desperate not to miss the scene sat bang on a guy.”

I,M and K:ROTFL

I:“That man shouting ” Dei ‘angeye’ utkarndhuttiye da” Imagine S with all his fat sitting on that poor guy’s erect……. ”

All the three laughing for some time…

I and K:“Dei, the other day, S had one Video Casette. As usual one Bhakthi Padam. S wanted to see that very moment as his parents had gone out. Just we were fast forwarding to the “important” stuff, in comes S’s 4 yr old cousin Akram. S stops the movie in frustration. Akram starts to cry and shout “naanum indha padam parpen”. S got so frustrated he got his cousin to the room nearby and locked hm up…”

This leads to more matter talk. More movie talk. More talk about one Rekha Shankar studying in a famous girls school in CBE.

And its well past midnight.

M:“Dei, we came together to study.”

I and K:“Yes yes.”

K:“Lets start. what to start? I’ll start physics.”
Opens a random page and finds how a camera functions.
“Dei, did u observe PCs work in Thiruda Thiruda? Awesome work man.i loved that”

I:“I saw only Anu aggarwal.”

M: “Dei, She’s really hot.”

All drooling, thinking abt Anu.
K: “M, this I fellow has got no taste da. I saw him oggling at one old gypsy lady near his house”

Both K and M laugh this time.

I: “Che, dei i am not that bad da. K is exaggerating. Just saw her thats it”

The topic diverts from PC Sreeram to Anu Aggarwal to all other actresses…

And suddenly
M:“Ok. i am definitely going to study now”

All the three open their books and pour into it for 5 minutes

I:“Dei. i am not well da. I feel feverish”

M and K Start Laughing.

M:“There is a limit to your nonsense man, better study.”

I:“Serious da. Thottu paaru”

K touches and :”Yeah man, fever indeed.What happened suddenly? Yennachu?”

M:“Avanukku padikanumna ellam varum da. Dont take him seriously.”

M:Looks angry.”I dont know abt u guys. I’m gonna study. I should not have come for night study at all.”

I and K to each other: “Look at his statement”

I:“M u carry on da,let me sleep.” lies down and sleeps.

M:“Ennamo pannu.”. Studies for 5 minutes.
Catches a glimpse of I cozily covering hinself in a woolen shawl.
Continues reading.

K: “Dei M, I too feel sleepy da. See, its already 1 AM. May be we can get up and study something early in the morning. I am always at my best in the mornings.”

Morning 7:30:K’s mom bangs the door and wakes all the three up.

K’s mom:“Raathiri evlo neram padicheenga?”

Thus ends one more night study session.
