In a dark room, a faint shadow of someone is seen .. It's impossible to understand if the shadow is s male or a female...But it's understandable that , that person is drinking and smoking, until he/she starts coughing and collapse on the ground.... Slowly, the shadow of sitting person dissapears from the wall...
25 years later.
...........................
The bell rings . A middle aged woman enters the classroom with some books in her hand. As soon as she enters , everyone stands up and slightly bows as a sign of respect. Though, bowing is not a western culture, but it is said that, this university is famous for adopting the good manners of different parts of world..Here, bowing is one of them. The lady tells them to sit down..
The lady: How are you, my students?
Students: We are fine , Miss. Stewart. What about you?
Miss. Stewart: I am fine.. That's great to hear that you guys are fine! Let's pray to God for a great day and start our lesson, shall we?
Students: Yes!!!
So , basically, it's the department of literature and Miss. Sydney Stewart is one of the most qualified teachers of this department and this university. She is quite famous for her numerous researches. She is adored by her students as well. Once, she used to be a student here too.
