The Biggest Question I have ever asked

The biggest question in Biology

I do not remember exactly in which class I was then studying. I think I was in 9th class. There I used to ask questions in the class.   Since I felt that I was intelligent, asking questions was much needed for learning and it also helped my ego growing as well.

Let me come to it. I used to question things which were not okay for me.

One day our biology teacher was taking class on reproductive system and she explained the functioning of various organs of both male and female. Interesting topic, huh?

The chapter simply narrates how an embryo is formed..

When the sperms from the male enter into the vagina, it then travel and meet the egg coming from the ovaries, an embryo is formed and it then starts growing inside the womb..

She then stopped and raised her eyebrows up signaling 'is there anybody having any question on this?'

Let me tell you, I was not satisfied with her explanation. I felt something missing. Some link was not there. Some connection was missing..  What was that? Any guess?

It would be a wonderful or sometimes the biggest question I had ever felt in my mind. I felt very happy that I had got a good question to come up with..

Teacher didn’t say anything about it and the biology book too didn't mention it. I thought the teacher might have forgotten to tell this link.

I looked at other  students..  They didn’t have any question.  'All fools sitting here..' I gave an empathetic look at them. As the class time was over, I thought to ask this question when visiting the teacher's room or in the next class.

Had I asked that question, I would have been picturized as an ignorant idiot.

All guys knew this and it was I who couldn't find any clue on this concept.

It would have been a different story, had I asked this question in the class. All students would have laughed at me.. Silly  me..

Do you want me to break the suspense?

The then clueless guy now giving you a clue..

Clue: I knew the ovaries are inside the female, so the eggs can come out without much issue.. There is nothing illogical. But the sperms are there in the male no?

I believe, now you have got the missing link.

Still no idea? Please find the question given below.

How come the sperms from the testicles of male reach the female vagina???

This connection was missing in the biology text book and the teacher didn't describe it in the class!!

Now I think the heading should be changed from 'The biggest question I have ever asked' to something like  'The biggest question I have ever felt to ask' or 'The biggest question in Biology' :)

Now I'm visualizing: What would have been her expression/reply, had I asked it??

An Innocent WHY

An Innocent Why - comment  on churidar shawl.

Location: 1st year B.Tech. Computer Science class.

During lunch time.

College days.. At that time I had been analyzing each and every thing and constantly questioning why it had been like that.. Upon watching something, asked myself why it was made like that. Any specific reason for it. If not, then why it could not be like that instead of this..

Why a cigarette is cylindrical in shape? Why do we add collar to our shirts? Why the pocket is just on the upper side of the shirt? Could it be placed at the bottom? Why no white board and no black chalks.. etc to name a few..

Suddenly a new question came up when I just looked at the gals over there.

Why do they use shawls over the top of churidar? Believe me, I didn’t know why gals always did that..

Is it for fashion, or for getting symmetric beauty by placing the two ends of the shawl equally on the shoulders? Like giving tails to the kytes.

I was infact asking this question to  my friends loudly in the class, as if I were in a debate.. I was questioning the necessity of shawls. And why we men do not use any shawl kinda stuff over the shirt. Am I making any sense?

My friends didn’t answer this.. All guys knew why it was for but they didn’t give me any clue. They kept their mouths shut. Even gals present there too didn't utter anything and continued their private talks/gossips. And the question was erased from my mind when the afternoon session started.

Now whenever looking back, I could feel something strange out there.

Silly me..
