Excerpt: Tea time talk

Scene: Staff canteen at iitb. Five mtech1 cse students, who, ofcourse look tired and drained, enter the canteen through the backdoor..err door near the rear end. Apparently they have completed algorithms quiz and are here to unwind. Three of them reach for a table and the other two head towards the cashier.

Pre script:To aid hindi handicapped direct translation to english is provided in brackets

stud1:char chai aur ek bread bonda (four tea and one bread bonda)
cashier:LINE MEIN AAWOON (line in come)
stud2: yahaanpe line be hein kya ?(here line also present ?)

they go stand behind a group of girls ....no, our innocent heroes had no evil intentions..but they just joined a queue which moved like a cloud..
they wait patiently till the girls decide what to buy..
stud2: ek chai key liye ithna wait karna padtha hein kya? (one tea for so much wait do what?)
meanwhile the other three students are looking in the direction of these two and having a hearty laugh.. and finally the girls get the token and move on..which creates a big void...promptly filled by other customers..
stud1: are yar queue ka kya hoowan? (oh friend queue what happened?)
stud2: yein nahi janthe hein ke queue ka mathlab first in first out hothahein..they must attend data structure class..hehehe (these no know that queue mean first in first out that..hehehe)
stud1: hehehe (hehehe)

finally when everyone else is done they get their chance
stud1:char chai aur ek bread bonda (four tea and one bread bonda)
cashier:LINE MEIN AAWOON (Line in come)
{oopss...erase the previous line..a copy paste problem}

they pay the cashier and head towards the tea stall
stud1:char chai aur ek bread bonda (four tea and one bread bonda)
{aahha...I was carefull this time}

chaiwala: DOO COFFEE (two coffee..ignoring our hapless heroes)
stud1:char chai aur ek bread bonda (four tea and one bread bonda)
chaiwala: TEEN CHAI AUR EK COFFEE(
still ignoring...three tea and one coffee)
stud2: iska scheduling algorithm teek nahin hein..ise OS ka class attend karna tha..hahaha (his scheduling algo correct not..he OS's class attend done..hahaha)
stud1: hahaha

the chaiwala cannot understand our heroes tongue but figures out that he is the butt of their joke
(with a confused- angry look)chaiwala: kya chahein (what want?)
stud1:char chai aur ek bread bonda (four tea and one bread bonda)


he fills four plastic cups with hot brown water and dumps it at them with such force that half of the contents spill over..finally our heroes collect their grub and go to the table...
leaving behind all the nasty things in true iitian spirit..they move on to discuss something good..
stud3: quiz katam hone ke bad..you feel relaxed..as though you have accomplished something..(quiz over after..)
stud4: kal subhein tak..uske badh ..you will start with new assignment (tomorrow morning till..that after...)
stud5: dhek yein aisa hein..koyi doobne walla uper aake sans leithe hein..aur oske badh phir..blug blug blug (see it like is..somene drowning up come breath take..and that after again..blug blug blug)
stud2: finally doobna he hein..hahaha(finally drown must..hahaha)
stud1:hahaha
stud3:hahaha
stud4:hahaha
stud5:hahaha
