(Guest post by Nimra Khursheed) Five minutes were remaining for the class to be dismissed when a student practically yelled from his seat: Jao na yar! (Get out  buddy!)  Witnessing no response another student joined in: Sir! Time is due! It was then a hustle bustle started at the back of the class where the boys were sitting , the remaining  students taking the lectures with boring faces. ‘‘Yes! I know the period is due. Thank you for the reminder .’’  Responded  the teacher glumly and headed for the rostrum to gather his belongings.                                                                                                              ------------------------------------...

Amidst a crowd of 60 people?! ‘‘And would like to gain a positive marking?’’  The teacher added eyeing the students.  Silence loomed from every corner of class. Fidgeting in their seats as to whom the teacher would now ask to present ; the students found the offer devouring , but they all had a common excuse: WE ARE NOT PREPARED!                                                                                                                           ...
