Head Sir - story

Very fare, baldish, always erect and busy was the head sir. He was the messiah of modern science in that far off superstitious town. His war against the living ‘Jungli kali’ made him a social hero among the local youth.

The uncompromising tough man was respected & revered by all. A look was sufficient to make senior student shiver in their pants. All parents felt secured about their child’s future with him.
Once Huma got the worse of him, though it was really not his fault. Actually nobody knew who spread the rumor that head sir gives marks as per the length of the answer. He seems to measure the answer length by scale and each inch gets a mark. That was still ok, but problem really happened when heads sir’s wife heard of this and asked him innocently if this was the latest scientific method of measuring intelligence.

Huma was the first boy he met after the fateful science discussion with his wife and the rest is legendary. Still today people remember this incident with awe and respect.
Eventually Huma was shifted to hospital and doctor asked the family to pray to the ‘jangli Kali’ as things were already beyond human level. God did listen to the family and Huma was back to school once again. But head sir never came back.

He was suspended from the school and within three month of absence from his duty the worse thing happened. He could not take the emptiness of not being a teacher and died in a sudden heart failure in the early hours of a no moon day.  The priest was sure that it was a revenge of the ’Jangli kali’ because his hot head, but more so ever his war against superstitious traditions.
