Gaurav's outburst...

Today something rather significant happened during chemistry tutions.Which is kind of obvious from the title.
Well it all started with the subtle question....."Maam what should we do for the farewell?"
Who knew what lay beneath this question??
Then Neeraj rose with his remark"IF THINGS GO LIKE THIS THE FAREWELL WILL BECOME A HUGE FLOP"
This obviously infuriated Gaurav who was our headboy and who was responsible for the 12th farewell.(Its tradition in the GIS family for the 11th to hold a farewell party for the 12th)
Gaurav:"Why ???whats wrong with the 12th farewell planning???"
Raj:"The 12th dont want pav baji!!!!!And your still planning pav baji for the 12th farewell from meghdooth,right????"
(Till now things were going rather fine,but now Gaurav stood from his place and with a fiery red in his face , which made his already apple like face look more like an apple)
Gaurav:"WHAT THE HELL!!!NO ONE IS WITH ME ON THIS THING!!!!!!!EVERYBODY IS LIKE ,"OH GAURAV WILL DO IT",AND WHEN I DO DO IT THEY ARE ALL UNHAPPY ABOUT THE WHOLE THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EVEN IN CLASS WHEN I TELL YOU GUYS TO KEEP QUITE WHAT DO YOU TELL ME???????"OH SHUT UP GO TO HELL"
Then he started conversing with meryilyn maam our chem tution teacher,but still his voice was at its highest note:
Gaurav:"MAAM , DO YOU KNOW,WHEN I TELL THESE PEOPLE TTO KEEP QUITE THEY NEVER LISTEN THEN I TELL THEM THAT IF THEY DONT KEEP QUITE I WILL DO SOMETHING AND STILL THEY DONT KEEP QUITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,WHAT SHOULD I DO MAAM,EVEN MY STUDIES ARE GOING BAD,MY LIFE AT HOME IS ALSO GOING BAD,AND NOW EVEN AMONG MY FRIENDS I AM BEING CHEATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I really felt sorry for the guy but seriously the 12th standard farewell wasnt about him, and his words werent leading to any productive path but , at least he was releaving himself of his own tension)
After this comment all the students started giving their opinions and there was active class participation which was rather uneccesary at this point.
Mary:"What is this Gaurav ? your supposed to be the head boy your supposed to deal with problems.I mean after the fight with geo you came like some hindi movie hero with wet hair and all.....
Gaurav:HEADBOY HEADBOY HEADBOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!EVERYBODY HAS ONLY THIS TO SAY!!!
WHY DOESNT ANYONE CONSIDER ME ALSO AS A NORMAL STUDENT!!!!!!!!!!IF I MAKE ANY SMALL MISTAKE AND EVERYONE SAYS THAT THIS TIMES HEADBOY IS WASTE!!!!!!HOW COME EVERYONE IS SECLUDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Almost the whole class:No!!!thats not true <>
(in the middle geo jacks gaurav somehow and everyone claps)
Gaurav:SEE!!!!EVERYONE IS AGAINST ME!!!!
Personally i felt gaurav was the owner of his problems like all of us.If he would do everything the way they were to be done it would all go right ,but noooooooooooooooooooo
he has to keep shifting his hairstyle and he has to try to shine at every oppurtunity he gets.This ,i felt,was Gaurav's greatest negative point,he always wanted to show that he had stuff.But the question was to who ???

By this time the tution class got over, the whole class in a state of emotion and sentiments.
All the boys gathered down as I stood at a corner watching the group of the boy gather around gaurav and start advicing him.But I knew that there was no use of talking to him now,he wanted to relax himself right now and as an individual I could understand that , but not everybody could.As everyone started discussing about the incident with Gaurav who was recovering from his rage,I sent him a message from my cell:chill man,lifes not as bad as you think we all have problems.If you ever need anything Im here.
Moral of the story ,
All of us have emotions ,and problems related to them, but its how one deals with these problems and emotions that decides his/her day.

totally true boss. I know exactly what you mean. But sometimes the people around the emotionally highstrung person feel a need to do SOMETHING to help and hence comes the tidal wave of advice. It's often useless yes, but mabe-juat maybe- it'll help.
