RIGHT TO GIGGLE......

It has always been a mystery to people as to why girls keep giggling all da time and I definitely intend to keep it that way. . he!!he!! *abhu’s special devil laugh!!!*. but u know, we can giggle for the silliest of reasons.
I seriously wonder how come me and my ‘these days giggling partner –snehudi’, have not yet been nicknamed something like the “giggling twosome” or “the giggling duo” coz all we do these days is keep giggling at anything and everything. People who must be looking at us ,*ahem* must be thinking we’ve definitely lost it.
p.s. um gonna mention snehudi as sn and tejudi as tj from now on for da sake of typing less.
Okay lemme tell u some of da instances when we’ve really cracked up.

Situatn 1-(this one’s the latest). Abhu n sn meet up at college in the I.T class. This is there ‘adda’ where they giggle the max. as usual they keep cracking up at the slightest mention of any of the m.gs. Thankfully their teacher is the ‘take life’ easy kinds. So she NEVER tells them anything. This lays the base for their giggling to continue into the next 4 hours (i.e for both phy n chemy prac).
They enter the phy prac giggling. Find themselves suitable places from where they can keep an eye on da m.gs .As the teacher goes about explaining the extremely BORING experiments, abhu n sn keep cracking stupid jokes so that they don’t become sleeping beauties only to be woken up, not by a prince, but by ”baba ma’am” (dats what they’ve nicknamed her bcoz of her repeated use of the word “baba” .
But the irony of da situatn was that, they had been so badly bitten by da “giggling bug” that when the teacher called all the students to the table to give a demo to the expt , and the meter bridge refused to work and the teacher tried to offer all kinda lame excuses, both of them burst into giggles right beside her!!!!! God only knows how they were saved. She didn’t seem to notice them giggling hysterically.


Situatn-2:Next came the chemy prac. Abhu n sn were s’posed to do some titration stuff. As ususal they teamed up, got da apparatus and got to work. They had kinda controlled their giggles by then. And got to some serious stuff.*ahem*. But…giggling doesn’t leave them easily. They had almost completed their expt when they made a mistake in the last part. It was not their fault. Whoever told the ‘great brains’ in the lab to keep acid in a huge jar labeled ‘distilled water’???? as I result their whole expt went wrong. Though this was not a situation to be giggling at, they couldn’t control themselves. They kept giggling at how stupid nd wat morons the lab attendants were. Though they had to bear with disgusted looks from the teacher, at least, giggling helped them from not getting depressed by da fact dat that they would have to repeat the entire expt. *giggles…giggles*


Situatn-3 (same I.T class but empty. Abhu in a foul mood, sitting and doing some sums. Sn sitting beside her, writing her record) this was the only empty room they could find in the entire college ( and that’s saying something), thankz to all the ‘love birds’ who get no better place for ‘guttar gooing’ , other than classrooms. 5 minutes of peace, and they were disturbed by a couple in search of some *ahem* space.
Had they been sitting quietly doing their stuff,abhu n sn would have had no problems.( none at all…he!!he!!) but that girl was so hyper that she was literally screaming on top of her voice rather than talking normally. Abhu, already in a foul mood, gives them dirty looks. Sn looks at abhu consolingly. 5 mins….10mins… still it didn’t look like that girl would reduce her volume. Finally abhu swears that if the girl doesn’t stop her blabbering in a minute, she will give them a peace of her mind. And yes… she does!!!

“Excuse me?? Do u mind not screaming on top of your voice?? There r people studying here. U ought to have some basic courtesy. If u cant keep u trap shut, then please find yourself another room…”
sn lookes at abhu with her mouth wide open. She couldn’t believe that abhu could actually say that ( never underestimate a Capri!!!)
The poor girl tries to talk, keeping her voice low, but fails miserably. Finally, scared of what abhu might say again, the couple decides to search for a better place to continue their…… whatever!!
As soon as they leave the room, abhu n sn BURST into giggles. Even louder than the volume with which that girl was talking. From then on, each time they cross any room filled with couples, or otherwise spot some of them, they immediately burst into giggles.

He!!he!! this is just a mere 1/100th part of the reasons we giggle. When we(i.e. abhu.sn and tj), have a combined class at our “dear” *smirk* tutorial, each time there is a mention of theta, psi, eppu, gamma , we start laughing. The teachers must be really thinking that we r mental cases. But its our right to giggle…
*giggles…giggles….giggles…*

AN ALCHEMY OF EMOTIONS


Life is a long road,
With very sharp turns…
You never know what u’ll encounter next.
surprise!!surprise!!” both good and horrid
add a breaker to your enthusiasm and zest.


As a tread on this lonely road….
With my dreams & wishes sailing around me,
quite unsure of what lay in store,
I stumbled on each little stone
Strewn across the floor.


With my strengths becoming
My greatest weakness,
My “introvert at heart” nature
helping no less,
I felt like a loser,
Lagging far behind in the rat- race.


I lost the people I loved a lot,
Nothing I did seemed to go right,
my whole world went topsy-turvy,
as I fought to keep my spirit alive.


I cannot be that bad”, I said to myself
each time I failed.
Not a comforting hand, not a single praise,
Yet what was that ”thing”
Which was egging me on…??
My confidence in myself
Or the wish to prove others wrong??


I forgot how to smile
I forgot to live for myself.
I started living for my dreams
To crave a niche for myself.


And I succeeded!!!!
I did prove people wrong for once…
I shut the mouth of all those creatures
Who never ever gave me a chance.


My world was suddenly filled
with a thousand colors…
I again started to smile…
I got the will to fight the world
And walk with my head held high!!


life is bad!!!” , say some.
I say,” life is NOT bad”…
It shapes up how u mould it.
Dark shadows of depression and uncertainty
may canopy ones life,
but one mustn’t forget that very soon
the sun shall shine with all its might!!!


Now, as I again stand on the threshold
of seeing my dreams making or breaking,
iam happy that I’ve lost battles before.
Atleast I can now face,
Anything that future has in store.

And hey!!! Don’t forget..
Its both the sun and the rain
Which make a beautiful
rainbow.

WELCOME BACK

Hey! I know its been long since a posted something on my blog but seriously, I just don’t realize how time flies these days….. with my college and tutorial classes reopened, I suddenly have sooo..much to do ..(he!!he!!! so…much to think bout…) that I don’t know from where to start. But I must tell you bout the welcome we got to our dear tutorial after the puja vacations..(yep.. they r not ‘that’ heartless u know… surprising thou it may sound..they r thoughtful enough to give us a ten day “break”, literally.).
So… we (i.e. snehudi, and myself ) went to class the first day, expecting the usual classes. But…. Our tut is a place where the whole concept of probability can be challenged coz the most improbable things seem to happen there. So, as soon as we arrived we were greeted by the best news students could probably receive- both the teachers who were s’posed to take our class that day, chose to take pity on us and decided not to turn up. It would have been “its da time to disco” kinda moment for us, BUT…(c…there always a ‘but’ in these kinda happy moments) the “management” ( who know only how to manage their pockets well) decided to use their best weapon against us… TEST… gawd!! Initially we thought it was all a big joke and laughed it off, but gradually reality began to sink in.. we realized that the management, which lacked a sence of humour cudnt possibly be making an “ october foolouta us. So basically, we had to sahofy the torture dat day. Quite unfair of our teachers also… wat say?? They shouldnt have abandoned their students that way, but I guess everyone needs a break…!!!!

MY TRYST WITH 7s AND 9s




I don’t know why, but these 7s and 9s seem to form quite an inseparable part of my life since quite some time. Let me tell you how. One day, just as I was sitting and mulling over things (yep! Um quite a thinker) I realized that quite a lot of things (numbers to be precise) associated with me had 7 and/or 9 in them.
* My roll number at my college has a 7
* My roll number at my ‘dear’ tutorial is also 7
*My cell number has one 7 and four 9s in total (apart from the other usual digits)
* My birth date is 16 (1+6=7)
* My college is reopening on the 9th (lolz…..)
* Though I had known Tejudi since the time we really didnt know that we actually know each other( hope um making some sense…), we became truly close pals in ‘7th’ standard when she changed her section and came to mine. Snehudi, my other great pal ,joined my school and my section in the ‘9th’ standard.
* My 7th and 9th standard in school was significant for me in other ways as well. 7th has been really important for me to have evolved as a person. I was not given a chance to participate in the golden jubilee celebrations of my school (the reason was really silly although everyone knows that there is no competition to me when i perform on stage. Atleast from the students of my batch. Huh!!). 9th saw a great improvement in me ,academically.
* Also, I lost my grandfather when I was in the 7th standard and grandmom, when
I was in 9th.
*My name has 9 alphabets in it..

* My cars have 7 and/or 9 on their number plates for sure.
*Gamma’s car had two 7s and two 9s
*and… believe me… out of every ‘9’ cars that I see on the road, atleast ‘7’ have
either 7 or 9 or both on their number plates!!!!

What will you call something like this??????

PURE FUN!!!!!

When I finished off my last post, with thousands of questions in my mind that were left unanswered, I really didn’t know that I will be getting my answers so soon!! Man….what a blast I’ve had in the last couple of days. I realized that the best way to live life is to let things happen on there own. The more you break your head over stuff, the more you will come across messy situations like those that I faced.
Have u guys ever experienced the sheer joy of living life just as you wanted?? Doing just those things that you wish to do? I did…
I decided to finally leave behind all my books and thoughts about how bad not getting a seat in IIT would be …and resolved to enjoy myself thoroughly as a packed my bags for a short stay at my cousin’s place. I can gladly tell that this was , perhaps, the best decision that I have taken since a long time…
I didn’t bother to get up before 9 in the morning , had my meals as and when I felt like having( and lemme tell u… my nani is THE best cook in the world ), was online for hours..(something that I am normally not able to do) and played dandiya every evening.. Yes!! It was sheer fun. Though occasionally I was hit by guilt pangs, for wasting 4 precious days without studying a thing… I pacified myself by promising to study much harder when I returned back home..( come to think of it… that’s precisely what I should be doing at present..)
Along with all the fun, I had to endure my cousin bro’s antics, which I swear piss me off to no end!! Though he’s one year younger to me, he can be extra over protective when we go out somewhere and equally childish when he has to trouble me. God!! If you wanna learn how to mercilessly wake someone up, from their sweet,honey- dew slumber, then go and take lessons from him.( which ,iam sure, he’ll gladly oblidge you with. Huh!!) And that’s not it. The usual bro-sis leg pulling was for ever on.
You know what? I also visited a farmhouse , some 200km for my cousin’s place. Man… it was mind-boggling. It was extremely well kept and completely resembled a filmy house. It also had rubber plantation and I learnt the entire process of rubber plantation and manufacture. (lolz… trust me to find something educative even on a 4 day vacation..)
Anyways.. Now that the 4 glorious days are over, I guess I should be getting ahead with some serious studying. Got a lot of pending work to finish. But seriously, am feeling really sleepy and the thought of going back to that fluid mechanics chapter which I was supposed to study today, brings an even bigger yawn to me face.
