.Its been an year since, he had smelled the aroma of the red walls. He had returned to the college as a guest lecturer. Soon, the students realized that the master of the ring hasn't lost his touch, as he flashed his smile and said to his audience - "Hi, Pink panther returns."
He pounced like the quintessential beast and set the stringent rules by informing us that he has added one exam and an assignment to the curriculum. He looked at the response of the students, laughed at them and reinforced that while he is here, we need to walk on the tightrope. A student tried to enter the class late. He looks at the student and then, looked at the class - ***sigh**.
Then, he said - "what r u waiting for? Come on! join the class. I understand you, its hard to wake up after 4 pegs during the nite in some1's arm."
"Anyways, since you all love me for the assignments, I throw upon ya ; I no more feel comfortable and hence, I will reduce the work by removing one of the presentations scheduled later in the course."
Sensing the smile amongst his audience he said: "You know - The good cop bad cop works. You guys indeed should watch the pink panther returns."
After a pause -
"Since, removing the presentation allows you all the time to manoeuvre a bit, next week I expect everyone to submit a book review on microfinance."
He flashed his smile again: "good cop bad cop".

Later, Mr. Sriram who has returned to take our Microfinance classes; went on to discuss the Nobel peace prize winners Grameen Bank and how Daniel Pearl was pushed to oblivion.
Yes, the same Daniel Pearl.... Angelina Jolie is making a movie on. The same Daniel Pearl, who was shot to martyrdom by the terrorists in front of media glare somewhere in Pakistan. Nonetheless, a few years back he had put a front page post on Washington Post, about how not everything is right with Grameen. Since, then Grameen Bank has changed a lot and this year they won the Nobel for making a difference in the livelihood of the poor in Bangladesh. Though nowhere they recognize the findings of Daniel Pearl.
