In the primordial jungle of Dept of Architecture, in Institute of Indian Technology, lived thirteen primates collectively known as the Design Czars. They were an awful lot, scheming bizarre ideas, and ideas of making weird cave drawings about just anything. Each of them had their eccentricities and one of the Neanderthals was affectionately (though I don't have proof of that, it's just a guess) named Koushik by its parents, or just Kau in short. As mentioned in the other meaning of subordinate clause of last sentence, Kau loved to be robed in shorts, usually more than 15 days dirty, some were patchy with various food stuff it generously shared with its garments, and various sweat glands in its body which were still not closed by a thick layer of dead skin and humus accumulated over the aeon of 28 years.
People used to loathe Kau, especially the animal next to it named Jha ji. Though the other animal called Czacci showed that he hated him, but it was speculated that he secretly loved the dirty (both meanings- physical and mental) ways of it.
Ramu (short for Ramapithicus) believes that It was all rumour floated by the other Neanderthals to make fun of that poor thing Kau. Ramu believes no one can have brain so rotten from birth that it can be termed Mad Kau Diseased. The Ramapithicus also believes that unlike Polio, Mad Kau disease does not affect children, unless they eat beef. Kau loved pork, not beef. So it could be a mad pig disease at best, if it could be termed sick.
It was famous that Kau usually wandered from one room to other, its hand inside his shorts, itching, just an hour or two before submissions of cave drawings done on autocad, and used to see, what special its batch- mates did, and used to integrate them in his drawings. Ramu used to explain to his batchmates that by doing so, Kau always put a symbolic message of unity in its drawing, which only the enlightened Profs of IIT could catch and award the high marks to him.
A special ingredient in its submissions was an application before the submissions. The application mentioned that due to some unforeseen act of God (his senior who passed out of IIT with Donkey and Devil- read my other story Of HOD, God and Donkey) he usually was unable to submit the drawings. The profs, being the expressionists, reacted violently to it, showing their big canines and sharp nails, hissing and beating their flabby chests, but it was a certain element of suspense which made its drawings interesting, just like the Romanesque piazzas and vistas (which comprised of a narrow, long road suddenly leading into a very wide space, had an element of surprise waiting for the people). The animal named Kau would work for 4 days non stop and then present his integrated design which would have a dome like St. Sophia's Cathedral, an Ocular opening like a pantheon, some ribbon windows and a lot of trellises, the whole plot would be exquisitely landscaped. It was then left for the whole of the batch to pick and choose their elements out of that master oeuvre. It was a pleasure to see Kau pleading the prof for an extension and how he would not have asked had his hard disk not crashed 6 hours ago. And it was replied by the prof that why did he not make a back up an hour before that crash! Ramu knows that it was fun for it, but was it the same expression of its other batchmates, it never occured to it.
(there's more to come...)
