Punishment

was in 12th standard then.

Our language teacher has punished me as I was making noise (I was just talking to my bench mate) and made me stand in the front - facing to blackboard.

And suddenly principal appeared in the class. With all presence of mind, I took a chalk and start solving physics problem which was written on the board.

All class amazed with my skill of avoiding a hard-hit from principal. Even i stated believing that he has been fooled and I m saved.

Principal watched me doing solution.

He rushed on me. Slapped hard on my face.

I was surprised..!!!

He took chalk from my hand and corrected my solution.. (which was just piece of dumbness - very second step was wrong)

Uttered “such a nonsense, I wonder how you people even cleared 11th” and stormed out of the class.

Me with my hand on my face, looking at the class.

They equally surprised.. 10 seconds of silence.

And they all burst Laughing.

All my master Idea didn't work well.

The Shooter

"Master please, Don't make me to do this. I can't" he was crying.

"You are loyal to me, ain't you!" still voice voice from dark side of street.

"Yes I'm, I'll be. But he's just 8, he's your 8 years old. How can I.." interrupted.

"Are you denying?"

"Requesting, master"

"It's required and you will do this"  ordered and left into even in darker streets without listing his beg.

"But master, please.. " 

No words then....

A Tap on his shoulder pull him out of his thoughts.

"Why aren't you eating anything?" Asked His wife, busy watching newsflash on television set.

"They killed the only son of our Master, and when our people started fighting back they call us terrorists!!! What a nonsense TV is showing" she kept spleening on news.

And TV kept its own barking "hundreds killed including kids in bloody riots between two major communities in the valley..."
