'prof's peak' in edpub classes...
SKC: How was Nicole Kidman in the film Eyes Wide Shut?
M'dyuti: (promptly) Sexy!!
SKC: Good, I always needed a man's opinion on this.

SKC: (while distinguishing between authors and editors)
Editors are editors because they are failed authors; and authors think they are famous even before their books are published.

edpub
Editors in the making. Yes, now we all are so. The editpub classes have begun, finally. The confusing symbols, the tailed 'd', closed-space, punctuations, space after punctuations, the horrifying ellipsis, the footnotes and the end notes are all we now see in our nightmares. It would have been of much help had there been some new (male) faces. Instead too many new girls have joined the course to our dismay. Our male classmates have been disloyal and are now keen on sitting beside the new girls and winking at us from afar.
Two long hours of class at the fag-end of a tiresome day themselves are painstaking even if the torturous confusion of editing symbols is left apart. And this has different effects on different persons. For example, mere mortals like us usually engage in paper-chat, bitching about this man and that woman. Some intellectuals read Poco texts. Mou-di being Mou-di takes notes very diligently. Zish slaps herself repeatedly, hoping to kill some mosquitoes and for keeping herself awake till the end. Aishwarya (Judean) stares at the prof and sometimes takes very good notes. But everyone yawns. That's certain.
But no, I may be wrong. One person doesn't. Instead he asks questions. Stupid, harmless, clever, witty, erudite-- questions of all kinds. And he knows the answers too. But still he has to ask. It is entertaining on the face of it; but disgusting when it forces the prof to digress beyond the point of necessity. According to ***** he tries to assert his "masculine pride" through his "bold" questions. I doubt if he has any "masculine pride". And also doubt the "boldness" of his "questions". Otherwise he would have realized how we gnash our teeth and drum our fingers on the table, rolling up our sleeves, planning to throw a fat volume of Ania Loomba or may be The Chicago Manual itself at him. He doesn't know us yet, but we can't guarantee that he won't come to know about us very soon in an unpleasant way. Amen.

obscene, but...
*** wore a skimpy top,
Her soapy arms around an erect mop,
Somnath was dazed,
His eyebrows were raised,
He blushed and gave her a lollypop.
--Me and Zish, on our way to 8B.
