"Cattle Class"... a class apart..

I just wanted to write something on this issue.. and so here is my two pints on the whole drama splashed across newspapers:

Well.. cattle class is a very innovative term and seems to be multivariate in nature i.e. it can have multiple meanings in different contexts. Like, it could refer to economy class of travel in some contexts or, in others, it could refer to inhumane, unhygienic travel conditions.. however, my creative brain takes me to another level while putting this versatile word in a new context - the context of my immediate external environment.


I would like to see cattle class as a class of people that act like a class of cattle! Now, you might wonder where that comes from.. well then what would you say to these:

1) In the middle of a class you would hear strange bird sounds , specially when a lecture is boring.. as if the cattle are revolting to the boredom being inflicted on them.

2) Certain bovine characters chew while they walk, talk, read, sleep, sit or even eat in class

3) We have nick named ourselves as cash cows, fat cows etc

4) We religiously follow "herd mentality" .. its a cult here

5) We collect money and run away with it (more like chara ghotala)

6) When a teacher raises a question to the class... we look at him all doe-eyed.. as if we only understand "moos" and "mews" and hve no clue whatsoever, of the subject of discussion

This is what you call a true "CATTLE CLASS" ... a class apart!!
