School in swarg Part 2

Shiv ji entered. The bang was the sound of his familiar damroo. Ah, it was khel class after all. Ghatotkach did not exactly appreciate this physical training. He and Ganesh were perhaps the only vidyarthi in class who did not enjoy playing a variety of games. It made them hungry.

Nevertheless, that day they played gulli danda and went for a quick jog around the swargiya school campus. Soon, the moment Ghatotkach was waiting for arrived. Khel class got over. As he entered the class, he saw Lakshmi devi  smile at him. It was angrezi class now. Lakshmi devi adorned almost every ornament that had been made on bhulok. Her saree was a bright golden one and her face shone like a platinum ring. Lakshmi devi was perhaps the only teacher who actually seemed to like him. She was a symbol of money, and nowadays at swarglok, the gateway to a good job (and hence money) was angrezi. He smiled back at her. Angrezi class went smoothly. They learnt the story of samudra manthan.

Next up was ganit class. Ghatotkach sighed. He didn’t really like seeing Brahma ji’s uncountable heads. Brahma ji was full of wisdom, heads and ganit formulas. The problem was that Ghatotkach comprised of ladoos, kachoris and samosas. Life was tough for poor Ghatotkach. Brahma ji  began with the formula of how a human being is actually made in swarg lok. Ghatotkach, however, couldn’t concentrate. His emotions right now were messed up. He was happy as it was the last class for the day. He was sad as well because after school, he would have to encounter the wrath of Indra ji.

Ghatotkach’s mind began to oscillate like a pendulum. To calm his mind, he gulped some rasgullas, thus depicting his great talent of eating sumptuous meals without the knowledge of the guru. His mind finally stopped. Brahma ji had asked him the formula to calculate the area of a human head. He scratched his head in despair. He didn’t even know the slightest thing about a human head. All he knew was that he would run a successful restaurant in the future. There was no use calculating area of human heads!

He got a lovely slap on his face from his dearest Brahma ji.  He ignored the pain and chomped some more rasgullas to hide his pain. Brahma ji continued his ganit and Ghatotkach continued ignoring. Finally, the class got over and Brahma ji left.

Ghatotkach prepared himself for Indra’s torture. He was habitual to such torture. He walked out of the school and went towards Indra’s mansion.
