Finally...9 Point Someone !

Chetan Bhagat is frantically pacing the confines of his office! He is in total disarray! His secretary just broke him the news...

There is a 9 Point Someone in town! And he is going to give them tough competition! Rumours have it that the new book, which this mystery man is going to write is going to be a total blockbuster! And of course it is not titled '9 Point Someone' ! It is going to be called... ' Finally...9 Point Someone !'

The author of this blog ( that must be me, i think) takes pride in announcing that he knows this 9 Point (Sum)One! Well the entire Electronics department knows him of course. And much of VJTI also! He is Electronics' answer to Electricals' Vipul; with respect to his gastric indulgences! We shall now see the birth ...the death... and the final Resurrection of his 9 Pointer!

So Mr. 9 Pointer slogs hard but ends up with a non 9 pointer! Sad situation. A few tears flow, a heart is broken;possibly two hearts :P and the appetite must have been disturbed. But the Strong Man that he is Mr. 9 Pointer ploughs through it all. Now a few days back he was dealt with a sudden blow! That blow hit many a fellow students. The grades of a certain subject called BCOM were automatically modified though many had not requested such indulgences from the Exam Section at VJTI.

Coming back to the blow: it was a really bad one if u were on the wrong side of it! If your grades showed an upward trend then u were obviously delighted and would be trying to do the Salsa and Tango at the same time, but otherwise u felt like burning the place down!

Our 9 Pointer thankfully landed on the right side of the curve! This was long due for his hard work and it was totally a correct revision in his case. The Controller of this (In)famous department is a very naive controller! But it is wrong to judge by appearances. Despite his expression, which was that of a yokel having a sudden bright idea, and his mode of speech, which might put u in mind of a small, breathless, neurotic but ridiculously expensive dog, he might well have been a kind, generous and sincere man!

So Mr. 9 pointer was basking in the glory of his achievement or rather trying not to bask in the pervasive glory of his achievement which he kept saying was a case of Sreesanth getting lucky and actually giving less than 20 runs in an over; we friends knew better. He was trying to be modest!

But believe me being a 9 Pointer is not as simple as people think. At least, it is not simple if your ambitions include being a 9 Pointer tomorrow as well! Well the most unlucky incident took place just hours after his coronation as a 9 Pointer! The very important document called Marksheet ( previously supplied on a sheet of paper which would make even a roadside bhelpuri-waala to laugh out in mockery) which clearly stated his promotion to the League Of 9 Pointers was stripped of him suddenly! They said it was erroneous and would be corrected! Thus was the birth and demise of his 9 Pointer!

The next morning the Same Section again asked us to collect our marksheets. They were almost same as given before and we wondered whether the Section found no anomalies or it was just plane bored! Thus saw the resurrection of his 9 Pointer!

This Resurrection was more critical and dramatic than even the resurrections happening in the K serials ! 9 Point Someone was thrilled and finally heaved a sigh of relief so strong that it could have blown a 51, 54 and 67 Kg boxer back to Beijing!

And now the footnote:
Hyundai has Shahrukh (Rukh Rukh) Khan, Toyota have Aamir, Chevrolet has Saif and Logan has Kunal Kapoor, etc. Wondered why Honda haven't signed up anyone yet? Yes u Guessed it right, they were waiting for the biggest celebrity of the year: Our Very Own, 'Finally...9 Point Someone'. Grapevine has it that his household had promised to buy him a Honda City if he broke into the League of 9 Pointers and only an i10 for anything other than a 9! So we are all waiting for a drive in ur car, Mr. 9 Point Someone!
