| The boards speak the Oxymoronic humour |
Oxymorons
are a pair of neighbouring words with an opposite meanings put together in a
sentence.
Literature has it that using oxymoron show a dramatic effect beyond hills. For instance, when
someone says, her story was painfully beautiful it speaks of two sets of
nature, one as painful and the other as beautiful.
Sometimes,
writers bring it into use to show an ironic sense of humour and also to create
puns.
E.g.,
There is low inflation.It was a mercy killing or this village is like a living dead.
With
the same flavour of the spirit, I use 89
strings of oxymora to weave the basket of my classroom story.
Once,
in a class, I found
missing so many things. I yelled to my students with anger, “This small crowd
of people tries to act naturally and poses me serious fun
these days”
“Don’t
claim yourself to be a wise fool” I said because that was my only choice.
It looks pretty
ugly to act as an educated fool”.
Keeping
my book on a table, I continued.
“Many
seem to have clearly
misunderstood my instructions in the last class. I turned a blind eye
to many minor
crises and thought that it was just a fine mess. But now it is turning
into a holy
war because it seems like a casual business. You are not realizing that you are turning to be the original copies of baby giant scoundrels each day.”
“You
are bringing bad
luck to me. I am already in bad health and started to have balding hair.
Don’t think that when I have no comment on what you do, I am on an active
retirement. Although I did a brief survey to record how you behave in
my class.
Then
I shouted, “Can everyone stand up properly. Stand fast I yelled because they were trying
to hasten
slowly.
Who is still
moving at the back?”
“These
lousy self-proclaimed unsung heroes are really giving me a delicious
torment these days.”
They
silently
laughed. “This is the best worst form of a kind cruel that gives me a sad joy.
So, once
again, I remind you to put an end to this and never again repeat it in the near future.
Did you hear me?”
They
remained silent. As I continued scolding, I observed a sad smile on many faces.
Suddenly from one corner, I heard a loud whisper.
It
was my boy class coordinator.
“Speak
loud. Are you a lady boy? Are you happy to lead this organized chaos against me? You are showing me
that true fake,
dull shine on your face to say you are wrong. I know you have a good trick to
make virtual
reality.”
“Sorry
sir,” he said. “Like an honest thief, I will open secret of our class for
making this fuss. I can’t exactly estimate the level on how you felt
like being buried
alive”
Clearing
his throat, he continued “Actually we heard a secret rumour of Tashi’s parents
getting divorced. Tashi was living in the worst heaven with his uncle in a small hut
that was growing
small each day. This has caused him to have random orders in class
attendance. Therefore, we were discussing to help him after hearing this whole piece
of story”.
My
heart became cold like dry ice. I saw all of them doing nothing except
listening to him unusually. That was the coldest summer day I ever experienced. My
angered heart was fully emptied after Tashi’s situation slowly ran
into my thinking.
As
we discussed to find solutions to solve the mystery of Tashi’s old news, even those called to
be weak
muscles of the class dint show mild interest in helping him.
“We
have the same
difference of living in this modern world with old fashioned treatments,” one
said. “His uncle who is found sober drunk in others eyes has a new routine
of making a neat
mess in the house” one added.
The
other followed “Tashi is forced to speak only harmless lies”. “Sometimes he
was found like a big baby that is barely dressed”.
My
heart was burning
cold. Hearing more evidence has made this incident strangely
familiar to me. Like a bankrupt millionaire without a penny
sometimes, I became like a wordless book. It was like a waking dream
to me.
So
I left the class and took a rest on my hard cushioned chair in the staffroom. I
skipped taking the free working lunch given to my friends attending
the workshop in my school. Amidst my painful
beautiful thoughts to help Tashi, I heard my friends say, ‘This is not
a sincere
lie, I got the meatless meat”. Another joined, ‘I got the boneless ribs”,
and the whole group roared with a big laugh.
I
had a lesson to teach on birth control tomorrow. This news turned out to be
boring
entertainment for me to prepare, so I skipped. It was a harmless hell
that I got a negative
gain from this new cliché’.
Not knowing how to deal with such common uncommon human troubles, I cried with a
mute sound
that evening. That was the solace to freeze fire of dear wounds in my living dead
heart.
