BACK TO COLLEGE

I am here in VIT, :) after such a long vacation. while I was back at my home I yearned badly for few things... hotdogs of quick bytes(mayonnaise ) , I am just a little too particular about it ... it’d be yummier if you walk and have it (hm... walk and talk, walk and have ,walk and eat ,run and have... nah, not good! Don’t judge me by this. Just trying to get some inspiration from idea’s advertisement ... :) ) the more haste you are in, tastier the hotdog gets , sitting idle in fc and of course masti with friends. But now that I am here I don’t want to be here, yeah quite whimsical of me.

Everything has suddenly accelerated up and I have almost halted. Unlike previous semesters we have got teachers who teach and subjects which we’ll have to study long before the exams, not the day before. Class project, IBM project, placements, packages, certification exams, higher studies, Mtech , gre, gmat, cat ( classes of which are going to ruin our weekends :( ), gravitas and lots more people are talking about – things sooooo not of my interest(still I will have to get myself engaged in them) . ‘I am in 3^rd year now’ this realization every now and then is enough to give me the creeps!

Only relief was two birthday celebrations in a row and one of them was absolutely “ROCKING” (in golden dragon, it has replaced spice garden), we (my group of friends here) were on a laughing spree that day (after a such a long time), although our entire conversation revolved around just THREE topics, ;) it was fun. I was more than content. But the icing on the cake was yet to come. As we were about to leave we were asked to wait, and eventually they came up with this amazingly delicious, mouth-watering ice cream, ON THE HOUSE!!! While one of us was busy taking pictures,we had it like gluttons (And I realized it again-we have evolved from monkeys!!!) I simply had a whale of a time... thanks a lot my dear bags of crap!!!

(I am not sorry my dear, for stealing your terminology! :) )

TIDBITS-1 (RAKHI KA SWAYAMVAR) :)

I am pretty sure that none of you’d have checked out this new “reality” show- rakhi ka swayamvar – being aired on ndtv imagine , courtesy Rakhi sawant. So let me enlighten you. :) Here it goes...
Rakhi is supposedly looking for a perfect match, with whom she can spend her life happily with.In her words, “yes, it’s true. I’d be selecting one out of 16 competent contenders. They all love me a lot. (lucky girl! 16 ?!! ) Earlier Sita and kaikayi had the opportunity of choosing their respective husbands through swayamvar, and now I am glad to have this opportunity. (Sita, kaikayi and Rakhi sawant ,what a sequence!) ” Gosh! I read it in the newspaper and (unfortunately!) that very day while surfing through tv channels I ended up watching it until its drama started getting my goat!

Those “competent contenders” include sales manager, businessman, engineer, marriage bureau owner and of course many more callings... They are asked to perform few tasks based upon which they are left in or out of the contention.
And one of the contestants concedes, “I have been following “Rakhi ji” for long and can feel her even if she is 1500 kms apart”. Great nasal power!!!! :)

Rakhi expressed full sympathy with the guy who had to leave in that particular episode and his mother as well, “I am sorry. I cannot be your daughter-in-law.”
It seems we’ll have to stick for long with friends, HIMYM, Prison Break and the likes for pure entertainment.
So, don’t watch it unless you want to be left seething, irked and have the capability to put up with all this nonsense. And as my dear friend says, “Any impression is good impression”, similarly any publicity is good publicity, they ought to pay me for this! :)

ENLIGHTENMENT

I was sitting idle (quite expected, ha?) when I found myself lost in some long forgotten incidents...and thus had to pen it down.
**************************************************************
(X: F, Y: M)
(X to an extremely lean friend, sporting big and heavy shoes!)
X: Don’t you think that these heavy shoes are not appropriate for you?
I mean, they aren’t looking good on you!
Y: Excuse me! These are woodland’s!
X: SO????????????????????????????
(Voila! no matter how your personality is...If you have any of the woodland’s shoes, you don’t have to worry at all about your footwear, not even its size!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(Peter England’s showroom, Vellore)
X: It’s so good! (Expecting Mr. Y to reciprocate)
Y: (Totally indifferent) yeah...It’s quite similar to my blue shirt.
X: (having no idea of that “blue” shirt) yeah?
Y: Don’t you know? All my ‘shirts’ are of Peter England only...
(Thank you for the gyaan)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ah! One more conversation...
(MB ,VIT)
Y: That’s why when you travel by air... you have?
X: Nope, never!
Y: (almost shouting...) what? How is it possible? You haven’t ever travelled by air? Nowadays every other person travels by plane!
(Welcome to the real world my dear ridiculous snob! :))

***************************************************************

Girls love flashing their accessories and bragging about them, they easily get jealous, bitch a lot, cannot appreciate others (and God only knows what else!!!!) -this has been one of the credos we have grown up with, haven’t we? But obvious, guys are deemed to possess qualities opposite to those. Even I believed it before joining VIT (I am no exception to it) and thus met various people with varying attitudes, above mentioned conversations being just a few of my experience! Ah! Certainly I am not against the ‘preference-to-branded-items’ over non-branded ones or expensive over cheap! Instead what I have observed in past two long years of stay at VIT is a burgeoning sense of flaunting expensive items, jealousy and backbiting among “guys” (at least ‘I’ have met such guys) .
A girl would go for anything that fancies her whether it is a highly priced outfit (of course within her financial constraints),or a kurta (or ’kurti’ whatsoever it is correctly called) picked up from some street side shop! And above all she’d happily concede it... “hey you know what, I got it just for rs. 90!”, “really? Where did you get it from?”...and it would go on...
A guy on the other hand wouldn’t even glance at anything cheap (if his pocket permits) and if he does, he won’t ever utter a word about it!
They gloat, won’t digest other’s success; and call themselves competitive.
They backbite and whine, calling it sharing-their-feelings, which if done by a girl is termed as bitching...
They may make up stories and tell whoppers (trust me, they may be bigger than any girl would ever tell!), just to get around to gaining your sympathy. (Of course here ‘your’ refers to girls!) Some of the poor girls who nail their lies have to still put up with such guys, thanks to their ingrained modesty.
They’d give legions of advice, but would hardly listen to others; stubborn.
They love to mock others, but cannot bear anybody who reciprocates.
Even they possess such mean feelings! Where does the difference lie? In packaging. Yeup! They wrap it up with the good old words - truthfulness, sincerity, competitiveness – which girls don’t! :)
I can see ‘THE CREDO’ shattering, can you? :)

P.S: My opinion is certainly not a generalisation. It’s just that I have met many such amusing creatures here. :) Even you’d have, haven’t you?
