My Seminar-A total damage

Seminars have been scaring me for a past few months..not that I am scared of public speaking and all,,but am scared of speaking in front of my class.Ive always been one among the timepass category..i.e whenever someone feels bored the class gathers around me ,pull words out of my mouth and have fun.So whenever some lecturer gives me a seminar topic I either say no or just postpone it somehow.But this time I could not escape.One of my favorite teachers had given me a seminar topic on satellites.I had no other escape route.I had to deal with it.Even then I managed to postpone it by a week or so.But today I had address the class with no way to escape.
The moment I climbed on to the dias,the usual sounds started...almost everyone was shouting 'fish' ,which was a so called secret word to tease me.I am very much used to it,so without any distraction I started my topic.Usually I look at the ceiling or some quiet person in the class ,but now I had made a good deal of preparation and so decided to make it a bit interactive.Whatever may come I decided to face the students eye to eye.That I feel now was a big mistake.Whoever I saw either a by or a girl had very big smiles on their faces.Many actually were rolling on their benches with laughter.I had to reassure myself if i hadnt zipped my pants or if some paper tail was hanging from my back.Everything was in place and i din get a clue what was so funny.
Many even started making faces and pretending as if they were throwing paper balls at me.Smiles are contagious and I couldnt resist it .Even I started smiling and then was the ultimate.One of my friends Durgaprasad who is never known to listen any of the classes with a very serious face said "Machi face me and teach da...they all are bad and will make you laugh..ill listen dont worry"...the entire row started laughing and I couldnt control myself.I spontaneously started laughing and all that came out of my mouth was "round trip time","round trip time","round trip time"...kept repeating it 4-5 times laughing heartily in between.....i could feel myself blushing...After that i had no oder go than to rush through the topics i had to ,just giving a jist of the content to avoid further humiliation and annoying the mam.Atleast I had managed to keep the class active in the dullest period of the day.Luv you all my friends...
