The Acid Theory by Chatush Reejonia

Once, in the second half of the first year of my Bachelor's, my classmate Chatush gave out a theory, hanging on the poles of one of the not so popular bus stops around our college. And that was the time, when the theory actually made sense. Although I assisted him in further developing the patentable theory but the original concept was his so two salutes and five cheers to that!

The theory holds that somewhere in the early days of our college, large quantity of a highly toxic acid fell all over the institute's premises and that is the reason why, all we have in the name of students, teachers, classmates and college mates are characters. And since these characters are hybrids of human race, no actor, no matter how good, can act as them.

These characters are unexplainable and indescribable since recording their properties and deeds into language is next to impossible. But the theory holds. And yes, it holds good!

We just hope that the acid doesn't radiate its wicked properties to us too till we get out of there in black coats. So far so good, we don't feel much affected, even though I am more or less sure that some of the symptoms must be noticeable by my friends or family. We will fight and we 'll fight for the rights of new freshers joining in this August.

The theory is a secret though but I am sure again that everybody even a bit lesser on acid must have given the characters a second thought.

Please give our college a visit if any of your researches include studying phenomena like this one. We're living examples of human resistance. But we suggest you to not visit on Saturdays because we believe it was a Saturday when the acid fell, since we were mostly absent on Saturdays. My so called college is named after IIT and its located in D block of Janak Puri. No address is required as you only have to follow a pungent smell and empty plots filled with trash. Or if you are a bit telepathic towards the human race, you can look for signals and traces of over innovative beaming minds.

Thank you for going through our award acclaiming theory, we 're already in the process of getting it patented. :)

The radiation had so much grown till then that the famous amusement park (in fact the best amusement park of Delhites' childhood) was closed in months after we stepped in with two other classmates for mere a day. It was my birthday in fact.

We 're still out there. We 're still fighting.
