ALL. ILLUSIONS

There has been war like situation in Bamacharan Vidyapith(school) today A hidden and unspoken tension reigns the atmosphere.

Everything in the school has been arranged neatly and kept in proper place .The entire compound has-been cleaned and disinfected with lime and bleaching powder and the flower tubs have been arranged in a row on either sides from the school gate to the main building. Every thing is spick and span in one sense. The Inspector of the school is coming from the district town for inspection. Hence every body is alert and attentive.
He arrives. Short in height, fat,  solemn and grim by face .Eyes are just like search lights rotating quickly on all sides to inspect every nook and corner of the compound building and class rooms with a critical view. Having completed the infrastructure inspection ,he proceedes to one class room of class VII. All the students  stand up and greets  him by saying good morning sir.He signals  them to sit and thereafter askes one student can you tell me the name of our prime minister! The student smartly answers  Birinchi Babu sir. The  Inspector becomes very angry and askes him how could you get your promotion in  class VII! Do you know I can strike out your name from the register of the school?The  student says no you can not because my name is not there at all.I am  a shepherd and today while I
Was busy in tending my cows on the back yard of the school,The class teacher gave me RS.10/= and asked me to sit in the class.So I am sitting here.
Being very much  angry he looks at the face of the class teacher and comments "Are you  making jokes with me by presenting fake students in the class?" Do you know I can dismiss you for this gross misconduct? The teacher calmly says  whom are you making afraid of!I am not the class teacher at all The original teacher is a grocer who has a shop just by the  side side of school.Today he has gone to the district town to purchase groceries for his shop and asks  me to act in his place.
Now the Inspector gets mad to loose  his balance and enters the room of the Head Master  and asks him at the highest pitch of his voice to say,are you not ashamed of doing all these gross irregularities like fake student, fake teacher .And you even expect to get  financial aids from the government! Do you know I can suspend the registration of the school! I demand explanation from you !
The Head Master has brought out a packet of 500 rupee note  and keeps on his table.
Then he humbly asks since when I have become the Head Master! The head master is my uncle a big political leader who has gone today to attend one election meeting sir.He of course told me incase an idiot Inspector comes, just throw this packet on his face  and show him the way out .The Inspector smiles a wide smile ,keeps the packet in his pocket  and informs them that you  all are really lucky indeed! In case my maternal uncle would not have to visit  Howrah  to day in connection with his side business of cold storage ,All of you would have been dismissed.
