Some characters

Posted: Aug 7, 2009 Fri 11:02 pm     Views: 93   

These characters were all growing up in a boarding school in Pakistan. First there was Buddah, aptly named because he was at least three years older than the rest. Buggla, was very tall, then there was Dangger, who came from Gunjrawalla. The chuser was given this distinction because he would go to the authorities every chance he got. My designation was sukka, I was skinny. The one person who had the ability to give names was himself immune, was MT and he himself gave that name. There was Dogar the unbalanced bike, you would have to see him play basketball to get why he was named that way. Chitralli was an obvious name, was the prince from Chitral. The Khan was another such obvious name, some folks had strange names like Buttack (duck) because he walked like a duck. Then there was the Fuhrer, he had read mien kempf and had plans to take over the world. We used nick names for almost everyone, to the point that some of us would forget the real names. The thing from outer space, was a designation given by a teacher. We had names for teachers, like Moley (or molecule) was our chemistry teacher, he had to be about four feet tall and could barely be seen behind a desk. Duhza was named because he was huge, maybe three hundred pounds, and would usually threaten to sit on you.
More on this later.
