Computer Lab at Bhavans College

Keyboard

OK, I haven’t written much about my days in college and school. But today I was editing a PPT after a long time and it reminded me of the Computer Lab at Bhavans College (where I did my BMS from). The supervisor of the Computer Lab was some fat lady and it always appeared to me as if she has a fight with her husband before coming to college.
