Holi

In a typical college in a typical Indian city the hostel boys Madan Sharma Aamir Khan and his friend are a rowdy lot The teaching staff suffer from the common apathy of most teachers in similar colleges The administration has the usual problems with illpaid employees periodically going on strike On the whole the college is a very normal place But on this particular day when Madan and his friends rise from their slumber some with the customary hangover they are not so perturbed to find no water in the taps again as when they hear that it is not going to be a holiday after all Instead there will be a lecture in the auditorium by the Chairman of the Board Dr Shriram Lagoo on the day of the festival of fire Holi and the boys decide not to attend the classes The hostel superintendent Professor Singh Naseeruddin Shah the only lecturer with some human links with the students
