Roll Call at School

Roll Call at School. Ever wondered what is its importance. It can change one's perspective to life. A person might end his life due to this seemingly innocuous roll call. What?? Take this.

Consider the case of a young boy whose name starts with 'W'. Cut to the first day to his school. He is all excited about this new world. He eagerly enters the class-room. Time for roll call. He waits and waits for his turn and finally it comes. Cut to the time he had his first son. By that time, he feels he wasted half his life waiting for his turn during roll call. He is determined to give his son a better life. He names him 'Aaaaaaaa' (pronounced Aye). He makes it absolutely sure that his son doesn't have to wait. By the time the son becomes young, he is totally distraught. He doesn't understand why everyone on the streets is calling his name (Poor Soul, he didn't know that Aye is a general means of calling out in India). He cannot handle such attention and soon gives up his life.

Consider another girl whose name starts with 'C'. She had her own share of troubles with roll call. She never had the added advantage students get by having to go later to viva voce's etc. She named her only daughter 'Zzzzzzzzzzz', again making sure that her daughter gets all the advantage. The daughter gets agitated at why her teachers fall asleep calling out her name (Teachers feels obliged to take a short nap every time they says
Zzzzzzzzzzz). Again the fatal step.

Beware of the Roll Call....
