It was stinking everywhere. Be it the rooms, lobbies, lawns or any other place in the hostel. Surprisingly, nobody was worried about this!! Some said, the smell has grown gradually that’s why none of us could notice it. While others said, no, it’s seasonal change, wait for some days and it will be fine again.
The 'maverick' of the hostel had breaking news: “condition of girl’s hostel is much more serious than anywhere else in the university. Though it’s true that even my fair sex is not accepting the truth but it’s so strong that I got the smell even over the phone!!”
In the evening, when I entered in my room, as always and unlike other parts of the hostel, a fresh smell was there. Neither I was surprised nor had I to explore the reason. Since my childhood, I was familiar with this change. One of my friends entered my room and was surprised. He asked me, why the things are so fresh here? I whispered in his ear.
All of a sudden, the modern Archimedes started to shout “Eureka, Eureka”. Everyone gathered around him. They were curious to know the discovery. Archy lifted his status, brought seriousness on his face and almost shouted “you know where this smell is coming from? I have discovered the truth. This is the smell of the examination, study materials and the preparations.” The boys looked at each other’s face; they agreed but never wanted this fact to be revealed.
One of them was still dissatisfied. He asked, if it is so, then why not this condition is ubiquitous in the university? Why the girl’s hostel is stinking more? Archy smiled and replied, "if u possesses five books for study, they will have twenty five, if you have twenty pages of Xerox material they will have two hundred, and if u study two hours, they study twenty two." He added, the variety of Xerox material increases the variety of smell and if someone does this all secretly, this works as a catalyst. Friends, this is the question of degree and their cases are always of higher degree."
Till then, everyone was again packed into their rooms. Perhaps, the condition might have even worsened that night, someone might have fainted too, and the list of possibilities goes on.
But, I under my quilt was enjoying the fresh air.

I was wondering why I felt stunk while reading your Article.
Now I know why was that..
It's your annotating skills that brought not only the underlying emotions but the stink attached along with that..
Excellent work
