OK in my quiz and make my mother happy. Both are incredibly difficult though,’
she said.
We reached her room and practised numerical for the next two hours.
‘I am so glad you are here. I’d never be able to crack these,’ she said after I
solved a tricky one for her.
‘You are not using me, are you?’
‘Excuse me?’
‘Like you are friends with me because I am from IIT? So I can help you with the
quant subjects.’
‘Are you kidding me?’ she looked shocked.
‘I don’t want to be the IIT brother,’ I said.
‘What? Whatever that is, you are not. We are friends, right?’
She extended her hand. I looked into her eyes. No, those eyes couldn’t use
anyone.
‘Good night,’ I said and shook her hand.
‘Hey Krish,’ she said as I turned to leave.
‘What?’
‘The stuff you said, about being a writer who brings about change. It is really
cool. I mean it,’ she said.
I smiled.
‘Good night,’ she said and shut her door. A few sleepless girls wandered in the
dorm with their notes. They gave me suspicious looks.
‘I only came to study,’ I said and walked out of the dorm fast. I don’t know why I
felt the need to give an explanation.
