7 Most annoying short stories in Hindi.

So,I have a lot of trouble writing,and even reading,Hindi.Like,sure it's one of the country's most important languages and all,but that doesn't stop da haterz from hating!Only a people used to mind poems that much,but the short stories are the pain-givers.While some are good and actually get a good message across,most of them are downright ANNOYING!So,as a part of the 'tribute-to-ICSE-Hindi-students',here are the top 7 annoying lessons from our short story textbook,"Gadya Sankalan"

7. अकेली 

'Akeli' or 'Alone' is basically a story about a divorced old lady who loves-pardon the jokez-poking her nose into all,ALL kinds of events with the most adorable reason (sarcasm overload) ever-I WANNA BE LOVED!Like,okay,we get it!Ultimately she doesn't get invited to some relative's wedding at the end of the day that the whole town was making a fuss about.This story isn't that annoying to me,but from a general perspective,this is annoying enough due to it's overly-loving protagonist,estranged husband,dead son,dumb relatives and last,but NOT THE LEAST,its how-to-dye-a-sari procedure! 


6.परीक्षा 

'Pariksha' or 'Exam' is a lesson I personally find annoying.Being one of the first stories in the book,I was sick of reading it anyway!It's basically a story about how some fancy old man holds a fancy exam in a fancy palace to find a fancy candidate to replace his position in the King's court.Simple enough...but only just so.It's got a sanskari old man,fake candidates,vague hockey match,nice man with a weirdo name-it's basically got every element to make it annoying!The only factor that prevents it from reaching the bottom of the barrel is its beautiful length of 5,pages.(Yes,it is one of our shortest lessons!)


5.सच्ची वीरता 

'Sacchi veerta' or 'True bravery' is actually an essay about great men and how we should become grave and serious and selfless and never give up and stuff like that.This lesson is annoying in a way that is hard to explain.There is just TOO much to remember-names,places,descriptions-which basically drives you crazy!Not to mention it's over-the-top-philosophical advice that no one sane can interpret.It's ultimate lesson-SHUT UP AND BEHAVE!


4.मेरे मास्टर साहब 

'Mere master sahab' or 'My master' is the story of a student who was subject to some insane bullying in his middle school years,who is eventually saved by his geography teacher.This student grows up and eventually returns back to his school as a principal (or headmaster?!) with his favourite geography teacher working under him.While the lesson does put across a good message of how one should respect their teachers,this paints a WRONG image of Indian students in schools!Firstly,this guy thinks that after becoming a principal,his school is absolutely disciplined and that every student is scared of him.Yes,this shows he ignored the fact that his students behaved like folks at a fish market and stuck a 'KICK ME!!' note on his back.Not to mention this lesson is LONG!Perfect criteria for annoying.


3.मैं और मेरा देश 

'Main Aur Mera Desh' or 'Me and my country' is hands down,the most BORING lesson ever.This is a really long essay on how one can be responsible and proud citizens on India by...what,VOTING?!The author basically raises good questions but forgets that he is writing an essay.Rather,he writes as if he is answering some patriotic questions at a Dubai Mall.Besides this lesson was so long and so boring,that my friend and I lived on 5 cups of coffee to read this lesson without falling asleep.


2.खेल 

'Khel' or 'Play' is the most weird lesson on the planet.It is basically a story of about how two kids play on the banks of the holy Ganga river and break each other's sand castles-trying to remind us how temporary and mortal this world is.The female basically develops a crush on the male when she is,wait...SEVEN YEARS OLD.Heck,I didn't even KNOW what a crush was back then!This lesson also features best way to make sand castles,huts,etc,how to destroy sand castles,best pickup lines and best way to demonstrate a teenage life in a second (Pretentious Movie Reviews inspired!).GREAT job people.


1.चप्पल 

If you study Gadya Sankalan in your school,you knew that this lesson was obviously EPIC.period.'Chappal' or 'Flip-flops' is a story-wait,you know what,THIS ISN'T A STORY!It's basically well,some random description that involves a man going to meet some random woman in an ICU and runs into a boy who loves some random pair of blue flip-flops and is going to undergo an amputation.This isn't even connected!It's literally like the guy saw a movie,went to sleep,woke up,suffered amnesia and just randomly wrote down something.Not to ignore the fact that this story starts with a lie of being small.This lesson has some of the best modern sadhus,excessive bleeding,courageous behaviour,and not to mention-best darshinik-ism.So,pliss ICSE Council,have some mercy on my cute juniors,and eliminate this abomination lesson.



So no matter what language,everyone has their bucket list of stories and poems that they hate.What are the stories or poems that annoyed you the most?Do tell me so that I can have some sympathy as well!Thank you,and see you on Thursday with another blog dedicated to ICSE Hindi students!

  2. Chappal was the most annoying chapter. It starts with "kahani bahut chootti si hai", yet the idiot manages to write 8 freakin' pages -.- :/

  7. Dear Shruti,
    I am a former student of ICSE (batch 2013) and reading this horrific blog of yours makes me sick. You have not only displayed your immaturity but also your poor sense of appreciating literature. The Council has picked the best stories with themes that are so subtle that a sensitive person would be enthralled. The stories also portray Indian culture and are quite matured (in your words- darshanikism) expecting that the ICSE students would have high enough IQs to grasp them. But ALAS!! Here stands the group of people who can simply cackle...leave alone criticising. It depresses me seeing a bunch of teenagers with such poor aesthetic sense and who are ill-mannered enough to sling mud against the best Indian authors of the 20th century. You have simply shamed yourself.

  8. Such a shameful blog. Disrespecting the writers who gave us meaningful stories. I was a teenager when I read them, and I loved them at that age and maturity. That’s why, even after more than 15 years, I’m still remembering them. Hope you have matured and have some empathy now to understand the characters and their environment.
