1st May blog post...Should have been...

A brand new day..(read: One day lesser to go to CET)....
World Labour Day...*wondering what would happen if the entire world stopped workin at once*
hmm...*abruptly erases thought cloud to dust*

Today...I was really happy...Was my friend's brother's engagement...(I know huge day! :P)
But more importantly it was my reunion with my dear school friends...!(now thats more like it!)

Evening dawned...another day wasted *yawn*...
I was getting dressed(read: wearing clothes...combing hair..thats it!) for the party...

I left home in a hurry...'coz as usual..(and upholding family traditions...I was late...)

I waited at the bus-stop...yah people still use buses in this part of mumbai! *hates rich loosers*
A man walks past me...lookin at me all the while...as he went ahead of me...he kept lookin at me..
My temperature rose...(upholding family tradition again..) I felt like goin an askin him.."have a problem with your neck...?wait I'll fix it! "..and then give him the rear naked choke!! ...
but life is such...I just waited there...tried to ignore..

And the bus arrived...! Happily I boarded...Only to see many other eyes glaring at me..(what?! had I kept my tongue out and forgotten to put it in?! )

*Too furious to write any further*

Mis-Konnection!

Ok...So I have had nothing to write...So I have lost my touch..In writing crap...!..So I am beginning every sentence with "so"...;))

SO..with all inspiration from Himesh Reshamiya (King Of Crap..for all you duh heads!)...

Here goes..

Today...I was walkin' down the road...(yah..i can't fly so what?/:) ) and a song comes into my head..."Peeche duniya main aage...Mere soye armaan jaage..."...and a certain catchy chorus..which i couldn't recollect the lyrics of...
So..I head straight home..deciding to find out the lyrics for myself..(crazy curious nut i am!)

I went home...logged on the net...typed into google..(hey don't get mad..I skipped opening the door..drinking water..takin my shoes off...switchin on the laptop...waiting for it to boot..etc..etc..!)

No sooner i press enter...I thousand queries I see for the same lyrics..I click the link hoping to see an answer...but i wish I hadn't....
What was open before me...were the most KONNECTION-less (read:silly, meaningless, "pappi"-ish) lyrics ever...even worse than "dil dance maare re..!"..

The chorus lyrics of KK's title song goes somethin like...

"its higher pappi hi pappi
higher pappi hi pappi
higher pappi hi pappi
let me take u higher!!!"

I know! :-O WTH!!
I mean seriously you guys...can't you make one dance number with decent lyrics..!?

First "pappu can't dance" n all....and now this...
It has great beats n rhythm I agree...But when I want to sing it...uh..well...erm..It stinks..BIG time!!

P.S. This blog post is only to vent out my frustration due to lack of dance numbers with decent lyrics!

Aussie Aussie Aussie....

Oye Oye Oye..!


-For happy times' sake!

Sleepily Awake?

No....The title is not a bad attempt at a paradox....Its just that I couldn't think of a better title for this post...Here I narrate one of the most hilarious 2.30 am incidents I have experienced...All thanks to my darling cousin Shridhar...

Lemme explain...

2.30 am..Abhishek (another cousin) and I were chatting...(What??! Were you expecting us to study in our vacations?! )

We were busy talking our usual crap....And suddenly..Shridhar...the first one to have dozed off that night...wakes up with a start...

We weren't shocked...It happens all the time...We thought he wanted to go to the washroom...As he headed straight toward us...and the washroom was right behind us...He walked toward us in such a crooked fashion in which even a drunkard could be beaten...He was completely off balance and had to hold the platform to gain balance...He came toward us...

Shruti: (pointing at the room where my granny was sleepin and where the washroom was too..)
Siddhu you want to use the washroom ??
Shridhar : (eyes wide open...no blinking) ---

Abhishek: (pointing to the room too...) Arrey...wanna use the washroom kya?

Shridhar: (Smiles) Mujhe pata hai tum log kya bol rahe ho...(Translation: I know what you guys are talking about)....(opens the door of the room...The room is pitch dark...peeks inside...looks for 10 seconds...)

Shruti: (Laughing my guts out) haha...Sorry..Siddhu what are you doin...? Why did you get up? haha...sorry...Wanna drink water? (pointed at the water pot)

Shridhar: (walks toward the water pot...doesnt touch it...looks down...makes a complete turn and comes back)

Shruti: (I laughed so much...my stomach hurt...! ) to abu-- Do you think he is sleep walkin..?

Abu: (shocked yet smiling...) Maybe...lets check...

Shridhar: (Took a seat next to abu)

Shruti: hahaha...sorry i am laughing so much...but why did u wake up...?

Shridhar: (casually expressionless) Aise Hi...(translation: just like that!)

Abu: (putting his hand out...showing two fingers...) How many are these?

Shridhar: (was figiting with the spectacles laid on the table...does not answer...puts out his hand and shows two! )

Shruti: :-O
to abu-- I guess he is awake...!

Abu: God Knows..(joining me in laughing out loud...)

Shruti: Siddhu go sleep have to wake up early tomorrow for the trek...

Shridhar: (Gets up to go and sleep...)

Aunt: Shridhar ??! Why did you wake up?

Shridhar: ---- (dozes off)


:))

We laughed like hell...and If you had seen him that night...You would have been laughin too...And the best part is he doesnt remember a thing....All he remembers is figiting with the spectacles...and he thought that too was a dream :P

Damn! I didnt take a video :(
It would have had maximum number of hits on GleeTUBE...:))

=)) Still laughing over it...catch ya later...!

On Top Of The World

Well....yah...I am Bathophbic...na not afraid of baths re...VERY afraid of depths...
Everytime i look down from the top of my 8 floor building...I feel like I am goin down now!
Miraculously I am safe so far...! :P

Recently I had been to Nashik..( Akka enjoyed her freedom)
We did loads of things there...(for further details contact: "me" personally ;)) )
One of them being...scaling...Pandavlene..(lene = Caves) ....But its a huge hill...trust me on this..(like you have an option)

Getting to the point...(which I keep missing!) ...

It was early morning when we left home for the trek...( ok..not so early...we are all lazy!! )
All fired up (read: damn sleepy :P )...Until the caves...There are 180...no...190...no..200...uh..whatever number of steps...but we took the trek route...and were there pretty soon...
After the caves to the top...there are no steps...Just plain rocks..! (here I do not mean that "just plain" rocks...I mean there were only rocks...rocks is a noun not a verb here...:P)

The hardest part here being right after the caves there is this huge rock we have to climb...with very little support...one grip lost equals one life lost...somehow...I convinced myself not to look down...and made it quite easily...

Then the trip to the top was quite tiring...and I might as well say boring for people unlike me...
For me every step up was a new challenge..a new adventure...
I made it to the top...and guess what...I was the one to reach first...(Credits : I had to pester my monkey cousin Gaurang to lemme go first...coz' on his own he can go up and down the pandavlene in half an hour...Thanks Gondu :-*)

At the top...It was amazing...Like all the fear had been sucked out of me...I had been here before...but this time was different...This time..I had done it all on my own...


The air was cool and fresh...the entire city of Nashik...in its perfect miniature form...People below...And eagles hovering above....And the best scenery eva'! I also clicked some pics...(CRITICISM NOT WELCOME!)





I'm telling you guys...Up there I felt like a kid! Like everything is bright and sunny...No results tension...No admission tension...I forgot all my troubles....I felt like I had a new life...A better life...(bored you enough! I know.. )

I felt like living there forever! (Akka even wanted me to do that..! )

On my way back...I felt so happy...so energized..so fresh....
It was one experience I can never forget...so it comes up on my blog...!

Catch ya later then...C ya!

Come Waste Your Time... All Over Again...

As I go to a beautiful (not even close) school in Vashi to write an exam that I care(hardly) about...
I am visited by the memories from school..from college....(yah..! I ACCEPT! the sick dusty board and scarcity of air was making me hallucinate)
SO...when I got over it...and finally came to my senses....I had a look around..It was the same old story...the story that I would..today...like to share....

Everywhere you go...for Educational (supposedly) purposes...you are certain to find a particular set of people...each true to their type...
Lemme enlighten you..

1. The Snob:[-(
As the name suggests he has the best brains, best hair, best looks, best clothes..blah...blah...according to him...
And he is WRONG...He enters the class..pulls out a chair..misses...THUD!!...and believes everyone has forgotten...

2. The Know-It-All:#:-S
This is the category in which people who don't know me would put me..(and people who know me wanna put me in JAIL! and people who know me really well..wanna THROW me into the MENTAL ASYLUM) :P
This category..especially has a really strong arm...
I mean...to put it up...for every damn question asked! #:-S
They can be easily recognised by the crowd around them during the exams..!

3. The Illiterate::(
This category is completely the opposite of the Know-It-All...
He often makes us wonder.."God! How did he even get this far!"..
Still don't get it...arrey it is the guy who hides under the bench every time a question is asked...

4. The babe:
Ya..the one on you just pictured...that's the one I'm talking about :P *applauds at her own wit*

5. The Wannabe:;;)
This category really pisses me off...Either you be or don't be....Don't hang around in the middle...
This is the girl who wears red lipstick with a blue eyeshadow and yellow clothes...for the guys who don't get it...Its someone you must've hardly noticed..!
Among the guys...its those guys..who wear sweat bands in winter, sunglasses in the class...n yeah..dare to bare and make everyone stare...yah..you must know them.

6. The Jester:<:-P
These are the really cool people in the class...They make classes worth attending...
I don't need to explain them...They are just our favourites!...

7. The Supposedly Cool/Hot:
Ya..these are the ones who get all the hot girls in the class...and also get the lowest marks!! *applause*
This also includes the "my-short-tee-covers-up-for-my-tiny-brain" and "I'm- broke-so-I-wear-rags" girls..*applauds at her own wit again*
They are the piss off kings and queens...

8. The Bookworm: :-B
This includes the selfish, TEXT book loving, fun hating, "no-time-to-waste" people...Its like the funny bone was forcefully extracted from their bodies or something! Never seen them? Try attending a class and look at the first bench..You can hardly catch them anywhere else..They fight for 0.000000001 mark that the teacher should have given! They wont ask you for help...nor will they help you...and if you accidentally score better than them..then don't worry...its they who are gonna slog harder...relax!


9. The Nervous Wreck: :-SS
This category people have a strange affinity for the three Ts -- tension, trouble and tears...
Every time an exam comes up..they become insomniac and insane as well...A single tiny unit test seems to them a huge threat to their dream of becoming something BIG :P...


10. The Sleeping Beauty: I-)
He is the guy who neither catches the last nor the first bench...He prefers the middle benches..that give him enough padding to hide himself...and have a nice long nap..He prefers to sleep in class...and cause no botheration to the teachers. *wonders what he does at night*..
Maybe at night he has to device an evil plan to conquer the world..!


11. The Newspaper:
Is there anything you want the entire world to know in minutes...A news? A rumour? Why waste time in ads...Use the official class newspaper...She can spread news at the speed of light....TRUST ME!
Words don't leave your mouth and the second girl sitting on the third row in the fifth classroom to your right knows about it....! Now that's FAST!

12. The General Public:
Bole toh apun log...
These are the huge masses who have loads of time to waste...and a LITTLE time to study( this line dedicated to my akka)
They are those who have fun, fight, laugh, cry...bole toh...live!
They are also the category..who put other people into categories..:P


I'm sorry...I really have nothing better to do...."BETTER" I said...so exclude STUDY...
Now that you are terribly bored...you might as well take a shower...!
I'll catch you later *devilish laugh*
See ya!

Shruti for Joey

IIT- JEE (Joint Electrocution & Execution)

3.2 lac people all over the country appeared for IIT JEE this year...and they say they don't know how many "Krazzy People" in the country..?
So what if it is one of the toughest exams in the country..Everyone has to try their luck..! I can guarantee that only 5% of the total crowd gave the exam seriously and guess what?...All of them get selected..!
The rest just like adventure...Their adrenaline rushes up while entering the torture chamber..facing question they can NEVER answer :-SS..and swear at non living things like - the questions, the god damn options...and their pencils ..(why did you accompany me?..Don't laugh at me!! X( )
Also summer being such a beautiful season to write an exam..we not only sent our answers..but also huge amounts of sweat...#:-S
On the positive side...they could decide if the person is genuine by conducting a DNA test on the cells or something...:-B
But what I really liked was the variety in the expressions on the faces of the students..
Yeah India does have DIVERSITY...*applause* =D>
I could see students frantically biting off their nails :-SS...people completely puzzled @-)...some actually understanding the questions and solving and smiling..*add swear here* (How i hate them!) I also saw a few sleeping and drooling over their paper I-) *wonders what they were dreaming about * Why don't they let mobile phones in at all the wrong places...? this was worth capturing..! * Grins showing off her B-) new mobile phone with camera :P *
Also there was me..observing everyone...I was very CONFIDENT that i knew nothing! :P
I had such a wonderful time sitting in the convocation hall at IIT Bombay..*resents their attitude problem to change Bombay to Mumbai *
I had so much time that I even imagined getting my degree...*glimmering eyes*
Well thats about it..!
One request...Don't tell my mom...*pleads making a puppy face *

What-A-Phony Tuesday ?

All "Other" telecom customers must think that the What-A-Phony telecom customers get lucky on tuesdays. I mean free movie tickets! Who doesn't want them!??! :|
But little do they know 'bout the inside story. Heres a sneak peek..
First we generate a movie coupon on our mobile phones that charges Rs. 3..But thats like hardly anything as compared to a free movie ticket!
So we happily leave our homes, drive to the cinema hall only to find complete chaos at the ticket counter. We look at the ticket rates and whoa! The ticket rates are soaring high not only for the weekends but for TUESDAY too..!:-O
So we say "what the heck..its just like 30 bucks more!" In India 50% discount is a BIG DEAL! If you buy a piece of cloth (useless...mind you!) for a 100 rupees which was priced at 200 rupees you say "hey! good bargain"
We notice some people yelling on top of their voices, really busy pressing buttons on their cellphones and people inquiring "yeh nahi chalega kya? " with retard expressions.
Hmm....It does sound like a "business" market...but lo and behold..! It is the coupon counter...where they convert your mobile generated coupon to a print coupon..(and you're sayin India is advancing technologically?)
We joined in a queue only to see that a few people were cheating their way in....(REMINDER: We are STILL in INDIA)
We waited and waited..
Hell i even read all those posters and disclaimers put on the walls. I actually thought those were wall-art used to make the place look attractive :P Did you know children below the age of 2 don't need a ticket :-O
So we waited and waited...cutting it short (waited)^1854 (thats just my lucky number!) (:|
As we were sweating it out (quite literally) standing in the queue...those people at the counter were enjoying conditioned air..which i secretly hoped was poisoned like in all those detective soaps and all..
Finally we got our coupon...! And theres another huge line for the ticket and we follow the procedure aforementioned...
When we get into the theatre to watch the movie #:-S and just begin to think 'its gonna be worth it'..Somebody makes a stupid movie like Kakiji 4 or U Me and Tumtum! and make us regret out decision...
And guys if you think you at least saved some bucks! Lemme tell ya...
If "Time is Money"
At the end of it all...
"YOU'RE BROKE!"

A Lesson Learnt!

heya people....!!

Well....My boards are FINALLY over..!!
and I am BACK!

So here's something i learnt in the past or better put the most horrible 13 days of my life....(and i thought 10th grade was the end of it!)

"When you have nothing to do or are wasting time doing useless and worthless things...(like you are now)...well...think again...! (i know it sounds like some cheap commercial..but i couldnt think of anything else...c'mon it takes time to recuperate from the ISOBES or Im-Sick-Of-Board-Exams Syndrome)...
SO where was I....well yah..When you're happy and ga...uhh...just happy...remember there will be days...which are completely opposite....
Remember the term "NATURAL COMPENSATION"...yah the same one you read in the newspaper and fondly chose to overlook the article...

Its stands true now that i look back at my past...or rather the past i remember..(this line dedicated to people who curse me for my forgetfulness or as they call it "bullakkhadgiri")...
As I go back a few (im never precise) months...i see myself...watchin every other show on TV...with nothin to do..or rather not doing the things i should have...(like studying..phhww..who does that?? ) I was very happy...had loads of time...!!!But days passed by..(never ever precise...actually thats the suspense :D)
And the "Dreaded" or simply put board exams came closer...i started..well was still wasting time...and more days passed by...and then came the BOARD EXAM...I had no time...and the entire protion to study....!!!!!!
Bhwwaaah!!!! It still gives me shudders to think of it..! Even a breath without putting something into my head was a BIG CRIME!!..Day in day day out...STUDY STUDY STUDY..(thats the synonym for HELL HELL HELL!!)
And I missed my Good ol' days...and you would often hear me saying..."Tabhi thoda toh padha hota toh!! " And there is stuck me!!
When I wasted my time doing nothing and being happy....nature planned the worst kinda days for me...
SO..now I have decided that in a day I will do something that i do not want to do but should do so that I dont have to do all those things together at the same time...!!
And NOW....that I have bugged you enough and that you are still reading this post....means that you have learnt nothing!!
But lemme warn you...*silence*...
' DARKER DAYS LIE AHEAD' ...*strange piano music*..."

SEE YA!

Who's to blame?

hey everyone....
ok i know everyone includes those infinitesmally small number of people who i force to read my blog..
comming to the point...
You know sometimes people dont speak loud enough and we say "Excuse ME..." or "Pardon ME..."
Well what the hell was my fault...? Why do we have to apologise coz the person in front cant speak loudly...Why should I be excused or pardoned?
Why cant we just say "Hey! Thats not loud enough!" or "Nope..Speak louder" ?
Apologising for someone else's mistake is Good Manners?
Its like someone kills your spouse...and you say.." oops..! My Bad! "
Riddiculous isn't it?
Think 'bout it...

Ma-err-athi?

Oh no!! You're not dyslexic..!
I'm Sure you could read it (im speaking to devnagari literates)
But the way and the pace at which you read it....Well thats the way someone i know speaks marathi!!

Oh how could the question "Who is it?" arise in your head...as from my previous posts you should have a general idea of who i LOVE making fun of :P

I'll spill the suspense...Its my "sister"...

Well i don't know why...but suddenly...my sis came to me and said she wants to speak marathi fluently..
I said..(after laughing my guts out!) "yah, give it a shot!"
after all who doesn't want some "more" humor in life?

so we started our so-called "Marathi Chat" (oh...even thinking about it gets me rolling on the floor laughing)
hmm...heres how the converstation goes...
Akka:Hey aamhi marathi madhye...oops...marathi-uhh...
Me:Marathit ?
Akka:Marathit bolu ya?
Me:Hmm..bol kay bolaych ahe tula?
Akka:Kahi nahi ga..Actually mala marathi bol..uh...
Me:Bolayala
Akka:ya..bolayala shikaych ahe..
Me:Asa achanak?
Akka:Arrey, tase khoop reasons ahe...
Me:Reasons?? karana?
Akka:Ho...Khoop Karana ahe..kay ahe naa..mala marathi vachayala yeta...samajayala yeta...pan fluently bolaayla yet nahi...
Me:Hmm....mag atta ka shikaych ahe tula? Tula marathi bolnyachi kay garaj ahe?
Akka:Asach(thats konkani-marthi word for the marathi word Sahaj)
Me:hmm...
Akka:Mala basically marathi barobar bolaych ahe...
(oh you can talk to languages too?? :O )
Me:oh mhanje mulat tula marathi neet bolaych ahe..
Akka:Ho..tech...

And the converstation went on...for about 10 mins after which i couldnt stand her stammer...and left the room...not coz i was angry or frustrated...but to tell everyone about this amazing chat...
You might not find it funny enough but if you were in my shoes you would have laughed until your stomach n cheeks hurt...

Ok...now i gotta go...after posting this one...
i've to publish it in the news paper :P

see ya later people....!

Poem Worthwhile :P

Well my sis turned 23 yesterday...
And I wanted to do something special for her...
But I cant really be too nice to her...
So with the help of my poorly used brain and my extremely rubbish rhyming...
I came up with this...a Poem Specially for her...


Akka, My Dearest,
You're the best in the world..
You Straighten me up,
When I'm twisted and curled..

You are my angel
To guide me in life..
You're a great sister
(And You'll soon be a wife :P)
And a true friend in strife..

You make me so happy,
You're always there for me..
We'll do great things together,
The world will wait and see..

You look so beautiful,
And are so, much more at heart..
(when I see you in my dreams,
I wake up with a start :P)
I hope we will be together always
And life may never pull us apart..

You are my role model,
And the best sis too..
(I wont copy you,
I have better things to do :P)
You've taught me well,
To be gentle, nice and true..

Thank You Akka,
For all that you have done
Being with you..
Is just so much fun!!


P.S. : "Akka" is what i call my sister...
