What is a story without a twist?

"Kiska fayda, kiska loss
Sikka leke kar le toss
Kutti cheez hai duniya phir tu
Kyun banta hai Santa Claus

Iska bhajjiya tera sauce
Cross pe kar de double cross
Kutti cheez hai duniya
Is-se lena toh banta hai boss
Lena to banta hai boss
Lena toh banta hai
Badla!"

" Receptors for most peptides as well as eicosanoid hormones are embedded in the plasma membrane and the majority of these receptors have six alpha helix trans membrane....."

"it's seven"

"Argh!! will you kindly shut up Sumnil? I am trying to concentrate" I snubbed her.

"but it's seven alpha helix trans membrane structure....." she mumbled.

"Alright! Seven"

"we need to work on the background colour of our slides again" Shafaq said, turning her laptop towards me, "she says the background's too bright, maybe she wants......ummm....a lighter shade of pink here....."

"what do these teachers think......who am i.......a fashion designer?.......a lighter shade of pink!" I lost my cool.

"I don't know......anyways.....i don't like pink" Shafaq rolled her eyes.

"we could use pictures of hormones or proteins as background...."Sumnil suggested.

"Hmm....we'll see that" I said, shuffling through the pages of 'Hormones, Brain and Behaviour' by DW Pfaff.

"she wants medical reports of 'real' patients attached too"

"where do I get them by tomorrow" I left the book and began massaging my head.

"we have to" Shafaq puckered her lips. I felt a sudden heat building inside me (no, not because of her lips...because of the project.)

"and" Sumnil added to my agony, "we have to memorise the entire chapter.....she would ask questions at the end.....no answer means no marks for the presentation...."

"damn! I quit!" I burst out and thumped the table loudly.

"SILENCE!" the librarian shrieked at me, "the next time I see you talking, you are straight out of the library."

Group presentations are always a messy business. And the load of sh*t increases manifolds when you have a cranky and fussy professor like Ms. Niharika Tandon. She would make you suck at the tiniest of tiny details. And the cherry on the cake- she didn't let us choose our groups this time and I was oddly paired with Sumnil and Shafaq.

She had suggested tons of corrections in our presentation, and the three of us had bunked our classes to complete that sh*t before the deadline. Such a pity, bunking classes for completing a project. Sigh!

 Sigh!
