    Mr.Balram NAIDU, the education minister, was invited to the inauguraton of the LIBRARY at the newly built AJANTA university in Aurangabad. It had MORE than 1 lakh BOOKS, most of them on classical arts but also some ROMANCES and ADVENTUREs. The library had even installed a NOVEL system of entry to the LICENSEES, wherein they had to type out a USERNAME and password on a QWERTY keyboard on the door.
    SUDDENLY, there was high DRAMA in the auditorium as Mr. Naidu was giving a long-winded speech EXTOLling the virtues of the reading habit. A few students staged a SIT-IN just in front of the dais. They demanded the vice-chancellor's resignation, as he had supposedly received huge kickbacks in building the library. The security guards swung into ACTION and were about to reach for their SIDEARM, but the students stayed put unFLINCHingly. The minister had no choice but to announce that he would set up a commission of enquiry to ASSESS the truth in their allegations. The chancellor loudly DISAVOWED any complicity but ensured his safety by presenting a MEMENTO to the minister. The memento was a golden MASCOT of the university, shaped like a deer (some said it was more like an ELAND), that was stuffed with currency notes to the tune of 50 lakhs!
