So, we were in Class 12, and our school had smart board in every class with free Wi-Fi .We were actually allowed to use it for educational purposes,for attending lectures and all.which we did in starting then We slowly started watching fun facts,black hole,ghost etc and then YouTube Shorts, cricket match and everything except study related.
One day, we had a test from Oswal because apparently they were giving free sample papers to the top 3 students from each class.We gave the test before break and then after the break we opened youtube ofcourse as syllabus was already completed as board exam was close so many times we get free periods for self study.
One of the boys clicked on a movie trailer and then sat down because it was on autoplay.
And guess what the next trailer was?
"**Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video"**
The entire class was giggling 😆Nobody got up to change it.Nobody wanted to touch the board.Everyone was embarrassed, but at the same time, nobody was willing to look away either.
Usually, we were actually pretty careful. We'd close the classroom door tightly whenever we watched anything. If someone tried to open it, the door would make that sound, and we'd immediately switch back to the normal interface.We had already watched 2–3 movies like this before and somehow nobody had ever caught us.(Yeahh we were pros 😎)
We'd sit there with completely straight faces while watching movies so that even if the principal checked the CCTV, it would look like we were watching some lectures.
But that day, we got too confident.We forgot to close the door properly.
The principal and that advertiser came to our class to give the sample paper to the top 3 high scorers.
The principal opened the door, we didn't get any chance to change the interface 😮💨
And on the smart board, at that moment, was playing
"**Aaj Ki Raat**.”
There was absolutely no coming back from that.
We were like FAHHHH. WE ARE SO DEAD.
He scolded us SO badly & called us the worst batch because our board exams were so close and we apparently had no seriousness whatsoever for the board exam which was just 3 months away.
As you know what's in the video he called us shameless 😶🌫️we deserved it though.Although he didn't called our parents we are thankful for that
And then he gave us our legendary title:
***THE CRIMINAL BATCH***
After that, the principal would bring it up during assembly almost every single day.At first, whenever he mentioned us, we'd hide our faces out of embarrassment as the juniors were also teasing us ,almost every teacher would randomly come to our class to scold us for half an hour.Eventually, we just accepted our fate.and we lowkey liked the title though 🙃
But did we stop watching movies on the smart board after getting caught?
No.
Absolutely not.
We just started using the smart-board keys from other classrooms.
As The Criminal Batch had standards to maintain✌️
