PUSH

“Four hefty boys from the senior classes! Meet me at the car park immediately” Mr. Alfred yelled from the school corridor.

The students were already familiar with this statement. The last period of the day will be in the car park and the subject of discourse is Alfred’s Volkswagen Beetle. The beetle is the toughest and most stubborn subject in the whole school. The car engine will not start until it is pushed round the school’s expanse of land. Even the school authority, fully aware of the herculean nature of the task provides extra meals for the chosen ones. The boys have developed Hulkesque muscles because of this daily routine. For effective pushing, the principal set up a new portfolio tagged “pushing prefect”. The job of the pushing prefect is to coordinate boys daily for effective pushing.

  The school was thrown into wild jubilation the day Mr. Alfred drove his newly acquired Mercedes Benz 230-E through the school gate. The mood on the assembly ground that day was ecstatic. The senior boys danced with extra vigor. Even the teachers were all beaming with smiles. It was indeed a joyous day for all, except for the pushing prefect whose command is under threat.

The joy was short lived. The new car took after its predecessor and the push routine started again.  The office of the Pushing Prefect came alive once more. It seems Mr. Alfred is destined to use cars with ignition problem.

 His valedictory speech on his retirement day was inspiring. He ended the speech with “Keep pushing through life” The audience rolled in laughter and thereafter took turns to take pictures with him. All that is left for the students to push now is their Academics.

Unlike Alfred’s car, stop pushing and start pressing
