Out of memory!

We had this chemistry lecturer who always asked me the questions... like What is the chemical formula for benzene what is the standard name for it.. ? You know questions like that. But my poor memory always refused to recollect because first and foremost it never ever used to register!. The reason I always fond of the concept of alchemy made me disbelieve in periodic chart itself. But in order to pass chemistry I had to remember the stuffs which I could not easily do. My mind only remembered the logically deducible things.

Our chemistry lecturer was very good at memorizing,  he used to ask the question and make fun of me in the class. I also enjoyed it and never took it seriously as long as he gave the appropriate marks in the internals.

The funny thing I wanted to share you with was this, he got married!! yes suddenly he got married and went for a week long honey moon. During those period some of his colleagues used to take the classes at-least 3 to 4 of them also constantly changing faces of physics lectures as our physics madam was also pregnant!!

After two-three weeks chemistry lecture of 7^th batch alloysius was back in action. He walked strait on to the dais with a chalk and a duster in his hands as always he never had the reference! Why a book when everything is stuffed in the memory? Well he stopped!! stopped at stoichiometry, calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions did not balance, could remember neither the names nor the formulas! stoichiometry paused!

With a smile he borrowed a book from the front row! “well! I forgot the names & equations! After the week long vacation I don't recollect any thing!” said he and smiled, we the class laughed out loud! “Bio chemistry worked!!” whispered an anonymous voice.

Thanks to honey moon..! We were happy,  at least I was happy at that time hoping at least from then on I wont be asked any questions out of memory!
