Holi came and went. Leaving behind lasting colourful impressions. In my case, the impression was blue in colour. On my nose. And now it is broken Here is how that came about...
Two days back, my folks were out and there was nothing for dinner. I had my classes till late, so I could not save the day (ahhhh). So my brother, tired (he goes for cricket for 3-4 hours 4 days a week!!!!) and irritated went out and got sev puri for both of us.Two plates each. I came home by 9.30 by which my brother was already preparing his will in case he died of hunger. At the table,
Me : So what have you got for dinner?
Tired and Irriated brother ( Taib) : What do you think is in front of you, button eyes?
Me : alright, alright. So there are two plates for each of us right?
* Taib glares which leads to the breaking of The glass*
Me : Just checking.
( after a while)
Me ( my stomach full with sev puri ) : How can you finish two full plates so fast? I can't even complete my first plate. ahhhh
Taib : I haven't got buttoneyes. This is your second plate. I can see your empty first plate right beside you-
Me ( interrupting ) : No, no. You don't understand. This is my first plate. Why can't you believe such a simple thing like this?
Taib (getting more irritated) : achha? Then what is that beside you?
Me ( innocently ) : Oh that. That is my second plate. I decided to have my second plate of sev puri first. And NOW I am eating my first plate. So you see, I can't complete my first plate of sev puri. And that isn't my first empty plate. HA! I was right. Now say sorry for not believing me.
* I am waiting for the apology to come *
* Still there is nothing but silence *
After a while, I take a deep breath and prepare to say something-
Me : Owww. My nose, my nose. aaahhhh.
Moral of the story : Always eat the first plate of sev puri first.
Note :
How to ask minimum three questions from a single simple sentence.( ha ha an alliteration).
The sentence : " Spicymist was called a 'polypoplomaniac' by a girl named Culleez"
The questions : #1 WTF do you mean by spicymist?
#2 What is a polypoplomaniac?
#3 What sort of a name is Culleez?
* always remember the art lies in asking the correct kind of questions . hee hee

Quote Hanger
I had put upon myself a restriction on using the net since december so that i can study for my boards in those hours. Needless to say most of it was wasted. Anyway, I came across many awesome quotes at this time. I,m not saying i believe in all of them but some are really amusing while others are thought inducing.
# Never be afraid of death, beacuse it is something which does not exist when you do.( though in ' the amber spyglass' they suggest otherwise.)
# When you truly love someone with all your heart, you must be willing to let them die before you, so that they don't have to go through the same pain of losing a dear one. *** ( *** conditions apply. this is valid only if the love is mutual between the two parties)
# All the martyrs like Bhagat Singh, Rani Laxmibai, Lal Bahadur shashtri never sacrificed their life for their motherland. They loved India more than anything else. So why would giving up their life for her freedom be a "sacrifice" ???
# Maybe sometimes we don't do the right thing because the wrong thing looks more dangerous, and we don't want to look scared, so we go and do the wrong thing BECAUSE its dangerous. We're more concerned with not looking scared than with judging right.
( quite something coming from a twelve-year old Will Parry.)
# You will be different. Sometimes you will feel like an outcast. But you'll never be alone. You will make my strength your own. You will see my life through your eyes as your's will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father, and the father, the son." ( i love this line in d movie. remember it????)
# Football is a strange game. Every player tries to get the ball. But when he actually gets it, all he does is kick it away. (muhahahahahahahaha)
# George W Bush will protect your unborn foetus and then let your grown child die in war.
# PJs are not meant for the listeners' entertainment; but for the teller's amusement on looking at thefrustration on the listener's face. ( whoever said this is a genius!!!)
# In passing also,I would like to say that, the first time Adam had a chance, he laid the blame on the woman. ( this was by Nancy Astor, the first woman to acquire a seat in England's parliament. )
# EASY is an adjective used to describe a woman who has the sexual morals of a man.
# There are very few jobs that actually require a penis or vagina. So technically, all the other jobs must be open all.
# It is God's job to punish the terrorists but is our job to set up the meeting between them. ( long live the Indian Military.)
The best one of all
# Mutual fund investments are subject to market risk. Please read the offer document scheme carefully before investing. ( try reading that as fast as you can. you might just end up with a job!!)
["some" of the quotes have been plagiarised directly from HT, movies and novels. But frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. hee hee )

FIRST LOVE
yeah this is the poem i wrote yesterday and i haven't editted it. i was feeling too damn lazy. so please spare my poor tired lazy soul.here goes...
FIRST LOVE
Just another early morning,
I’m getting ready to go walking.
Oh, the monotony of life…
I hope today will be different
I hit the road leading to the farm,
Scenery no longer enchanting me with its charm.
But, I do notice the sun, instead of the usual fog.
Maybe today will be different.
My hopes go higher and higher
As I turn round the corner.
Then I saw “her” at the window.
Today is indeed different!
I stare at her, not caring that I stumble,
She looks at me and I see her mumble
A fuzzy warmth fills my heart
Seeing the smile of that work of art.
Was it the sparkle in her eye?
Or was it her dazzling smile?
She made me feel cherished.
I knew today would be different.
Next day onwards,
I actually looked forward to go walking
Embracing this monotony without grumbling.
I looked forward to see her radiate joy
When she looked at me like a child unwrapping a new toy.
Happy and innocent, this morning play,
Made bearable the rest of my day.
I even started dreaming of her,
Maybe I was falling in love with her.
As new mornings came ,
The surer I became.
What if she loves me too?
Tomorrow I’ll tell her ,” I love you.”
I woke up feeling different, the next day
Different in a bad sort of way.
Something felt wrong.
I thought, maybe today is different.
I left my home and went to her place,
she was waiting down, agitation apparent in her pace.
Coming closer I saw her tears, her watery smile when she saw me.
I knew. She was leaving me.
Suddenly, through my own tears, I saw that it was again foggy.
She bent and whispered in my ear, “ I’ll always miss you, little doggy.”

Letter
Dear parent,
This letter is strictly for parents who have teen aged children. so you think you have a big rebellious problem on your hands? You think whatever you do, it is not enough for your child? Your child has come under the influence of today's bad world and that he\she has forgotten all that you taught him\her? Here i have listed the reasons for the relationship strain from the point of view of a teenager.( yours truly being one, has made these observations from personal experience and those of her peers)
First of all you have to know that when you were in college it was probably the mid-seventies and this is " tees saal baad" . so while you never went out for movies with your friends, you never bunked lectures, you never had cell phones...et al,so what?, just because you did things in a certain way does not make it imperative for your child to do the same.You have your own views about a certain matter, fine, but please don't snap at your child if he\she chooses to look at it in a differrent way and does it differently.
Your child is not like you. however strong the resemblance, you cannot take away their identity. If you forbid them to do something,( like having a permanent tattoo is taboo, smoking is injurious to health and so on) give enough reasons to convince them beyond doubt because they listen to their friends an awful lot more than they do to you. You have to be reasonable and hear their side out too. you tell them they are supposed to do something something because you tell them to, they'll argue, become rebellious and do it behind your back anyway. Oh, and emotional blackmail is one sure thing to make them lose respect for you.Please don't generalise statements like today's youth is self-centered and inconsiderate, because that is unfair and untrue. Most of the volunteers in various social organisations are youngsters.
Lastly, treat your child with respect. They may not have become what you dreamt for them, but that does not mean they will not make you proud. An army man is just as honourable as a doctor or an engineer or a chartered accountant. Over-expectations put unnecessary pressure on them and comparison with peers will only make your child jealous , distant and bitter and lower their self esteem. If you want to find faults with them, you also have to appreciate them "sincerely" when they do something good. Most importantly, trust your child and tell them so. You can gain their trust by telling them a little about yourself when you were their age, (but not in a preachy way), the problems you faced, the mischief you made.. as you would to your friend and they in turn will tell you what they are feeling and how they are coping ( but you need to accept it that they won't share everything with you). I'll take your leave now. Just think about what i have written before dismissing it as crap. and of course you are welcome to debate your views with me. But always remember, if you want your child to grow up and become independent, you must allow them to do so.
Yours youthfully,(hee hee)

Some really amazing facts
these are some of the coolest and not so known amazing facts ( unlike ancient stuff like dolphins sleep with their one eye open. duh. even dolphins have become concious of that fact) I just unearthed from somewhere. have a look at them :
# oil actually damages your hair in the long run because oil molecules settle on the scalp and block the essential nutrients. (hehe wait till my mom reads this).
# the closest relative of garden sparrow is a fresh water tigerfish. ( yeah and I'm related to nostradamus).
# earwax contains vitamin B6 ( ewwww don't ask me to confirm it. you go and give your dietician a plateful of waxy vitamins).
# the real name of Sushmita Sen is " Ujjwala Raisen" ( i wonder why she dropped the
Rai part from her surname???. And hell if she wanted to change her name, why not choose an exotic name like Tantlata ??).
# Geometry was not initially considered a part of mathematics. It was a part of philosophy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Oh damn why did they change their mind! there's no subject called philosophy in my college).
# By 2055 the entire Arctic ocean will freeze forever. ( huh? you mean it aint already frozen?? and besides who was that chipmunk shouting about global warming?? )
# Brenda Calton was the 21st president of the U.S. but on her first day in office, she was murdered by her husband and old Chester A Arthur got the job. ( I wonder if this Brenda Ca(r)lton was as snooty as that wannabe in Nancy Drew series).
# Bastritch does NOT mean bastard + son of a bitch, but it actually means a pregnant ostritch.
# Queen of hearts is still the most popular queen but it is a little known fact that, one company had accidently given moustaches to her and hadn't been aware of the fact till they had already distributed 3,500 decks. ( dumb, dumb. so next time your girl's not cleared her facial hair properly, call her queen of hearts. She won't murder you then).
# those who cannot put their fist entirely in their mouths are suffering ( or will suffer) from an ailment called Degros Doigts syndrome. ( Ha i bet u tried to put your fist in your mouth).
# aeroplanes are coated with a layer of plum juice before the final mica\ aluminium cover is welded. ( plum juice? PLUM JUICE???? what so they can say have a delicious journey!!)
# apparently scooter contribute more to pollution than four- wheelers. ( yeah must be. I guess that farty sound must add to the noise pollution. not to mention, irritation in people).
Hey all thanks a lot for reading these entertaining if somewhat pathetic amazing facts. I'll find out more such "facts" and keep updating. PS : none of the above facts are true. i made them all up. if you want more I'll just prod my weird overactive imagination a bit further and give you whackier ones. :p
PPS : de gros doigts means "some fat fingers" in french
