Let the divine hand solve your problems...

We had been under British colonial rulings for 200 years. Then we had been under Pakistani dictatorship. We had fought for establishing our mother language, Bangla as the official language of our country while under Pakistani rulings.


The effect of all these is, we have a 12 year schooling on which we have English as our subject. After that, for higher education, most of the universities use English medium. And the ability to speak in English is taken as a measure of how smart a person is. Though I can't find how not speaking own language can be taken as smartness. But that's another story. Despite all these, we don't use English anywhere in our everyday activities. And I think except some rootless junks of the society, deep down ourselves, each of us have an unwillingness to learn the language.


As for example, in our university, we have an English medium environment, but that is somehow limited inside the class. And sometimes, even inside the class, we freely use Bangla. Another thing is, our English is not perfect. It's normal, as it's not our first language. But we make fun of those who make mistakes while speaking in English. Sometimes, there are very interesting situations regarding the language and wrong application of the terms.


I heard it from one of my juniors in EEE department. Some days ago, in probably Industrial Electronics class. I won't mention his name, the lectures was in a hurry finishing his lecture. It was almost at the end and he started to pack his materials. Suddenly, a girl stood up and said something like 'Sir I didn't get what you said about something (I didn't understand). Would you please explain it again.' and the bell rang declaring the end of the class. The teacher was startled for a second then he said, 'If you have problems... ' (pause) 'You Physically Contact me in my consulting hours'. And he got out leaving the whole class grinning.


This kept us wondering, how the physical contact would solve her problem and how the Physical Contact would be accomplished. (Because, we have a totally different meaning of this phrase). One of us came up with the safest idea...

That teacher has a divine hand. He could rearrange her neuron cells with his mare hand to clarify the lecture. And thus it would solve her problem & surely it is a Physical Contact. I would leave the other unsafe ideas on your imagination.
