Boss' call saved my ass yesterday

Was at my relatives' place yesterday for Rakshabandhan.

We were all sitting down after lunch, casually chatting over tea. My cousin is prepping for JEE (two years of coaching plus school). We're on good terms; he looks up to me in terms of life (lol who's gonna tell him).

So he comes to me, sits alongside with his Class 11 Physics book, and goes, "Bhaiya, can you explain this? I asked my teacher but she said it was too basic and I shouldn't be asking this."

It was some capacitor-resistance thing. I saw it and my mind went blank. Dude, it's been 10 years since I left this. How am I gonna know? And the whole family is looking up to me, expecting the great achiever bhaiya to shower some knowledge.

Thankfully my boss called up (on a holiday, obviously). I can't believe I am saying this, but I've never been so excited to get an office call than yesterday.

But why not honest about it, that you don’t remember 11th grade physics

Don't beat yourself up... Class 11 physics is the reason why I almost quit the science stream... Thankfully didn't do so but barely managed to pass in class 12 boards... Also I learnt more physics from Sheldon Cooper than my actual teachers 😂
