“Some people have a way with words, and other people…oh, uh, not have way.”

21/12/12 is here and we all are wondering if world is gonna end today. Its cool if its not gonna happen. I then have to see my semester results which is just around the corner and continue with the same old life. But what if this is our last day. What are the things that we want to do if today is the last day of our lives. I asked this question from some of my friends and the answers were quite interesting. Have a look.
The Geek of my class 1: Will play Most Wanted 2 the whole day( his idea of doing crazy is playing video game all day :P)
The Geek of my class 2:Kill the teacher.(woah!)
The Good guy(who is in love): Will spend my whole day with family and the loved ones(yo buddy! i see what you did there)
The Good guy(who was rejected by a girl earlier this month):Same answer as the good guy no.1. He has not lost his hoped yet.
Girl 1: Will allow my boyfriend to have his way with me (lucky boyfriend) then after thinking a few more seconds she changed her answer to shopping the whole day.
Girl 2: Want to perform in an international event with a spot light (she stressed that point) then after a few seconds she changed her answer to do shopping with all the money i have.
Girl 3: Doesn’t matter what she said earlier, the final answer was SHOPPING.
Best Buddy 1: I will just sleep all day long as i am doing now.
Best Buddy 2: Will f@ck a latina.
Best Buddy 3: Kill you.
Cool Guy 1:Sex, daru(alcohol) and cuban cigar.
Cool Guy 2: Sex, sex and sex.
The regular guys: spend time with my family (and one said apologize to some people.Strong.)
Me: Go to a strip club,do sky diving and kill one or two people.
So as you can see, the results are what i expected. F@cking and drinking for guys and shopping for girls 😛
What would you like to do if this is your last day on earth?
Holi,Diwali,15th august,26th january and India vs pakistan, these are one of the very few things that our country do as a nation and here we are waiting for one of them right here right now!
Pakistan, no matter what has always been a team to beat and this time around, they are faster,stronger,sharper and ofcourse better than our very own team India. The last time when the two teams played against each other was in the world cup. So as we see, there are not many occasions when the two teams faced each other. This maintains a sense of surprise in both the teams.
This is gonna be a tough day for MS Dhoni. His decision to not to play Sehwag was controversial and then the loss of 9 wickets added salt to the wounds.
What it means to a fan like me?
When you loose, there is always someone you can blame at, point your finger to, its the same in today’s match. If India looses this match, it will be much more disheartening for the fans than it was when Team India lost against Australia.
In short, this sunday is action packed! Take out the your Team India Jersey and get your popcorn ready!

Raman: So, you have already tried as many as two times before and you now want to give it one more try?! Have you gone insane ??
Me: You won’t understand man. This is love, true love. You have no experience with that, so better f@ck your mouth up and listen to what now I am going to tell you.
Raman: Say it.
Me: Message her.
Raman: Man I too liked her but you have more right on her than me. After all, you were the one who has crush on her, I just downloaded her photo from fb. That’s it!
Me: Saalee inverse of (DK,Bose) ordered pair, delete that photo now, bhai ke saath aisa karega tu ab?
Raman: Haan haan kar dunga, waise bhi she is not that good. I mean not my types 
Me: Yeah, she is my types. Sweet, innocent and intelligent!
Raman: Absolutely man. She is too intelligent, tabhi to she refused you as many as two times! 
Me: Man, I am really bored of abusing you again and again. So better keep quiet and mind it, she never exactly refused me!
Raman: Haan haan! 1st time she said that she is not interested in involving in any relationship and the next time you asked her, she blocked you on FB 
Me: Whatever; They say that you should try again and again, until you meet your ultimate goal.
Raman: Oye Sri Sri as$h*!e ji maharaj. Tell me ki msg kya karna hai?
Me: Senti kar de usko. I mean make her realize what God had sent for her
Raman: Praising you is really a difficult task for me. No worries. Challenge accepted !
Me: That’s like my backlog waala boy
Raman: Don’t worry buddy. One day you too will be as successful as I am today!
Me: I know
Raman: Chal isi baat pe ek Burger le ke aa !
Me: Who are you sir? I don’t know you. Which branch??
Raman: Bugger off. Or Burger off !!
Both of us: hahahahahaha
Same day at home
Me talking to myself: Lets study!!!
Half an hour later: Hard day that was. Physics is getting more and more difficult. How am I going to take my pointer up this time? Is she going to say a yes this time? Spherical coordinates is what we are going to study in the next section’ …. I am not going to do anything if she refused me this time. Mess food is going from bad to worse now. Is she imprinted on me? I hate twilight! Exams are in less than a month. But I love her !!! huhhh?!!
ENOUGH for today.
In the next two minutes : Log on to FB >–Search for her>–remembering that she blocked me 2 months back>– check fornotifications and finding nothing but requests for Shitville and pages like yaar aap bade wo ho>–lots of abuses>–Logging out>–Logging in with a different id made specially for this purpose>–searching for her>–Bingo!
Me talking to myself: I know I love her….yeah…..true love!! Wait….she changed her DP…..she is not looking good in this one…..doesn’t matter …. I still love her 🙂
After constantly watching her pic for 10 minutes and scrolling the mouse near ‘ADD FRIEND’ option nearly 5 times >–Logout>–Going to bed>–thinking ‘will she say yes this time???????’>-finally sleep 
Next day morning (in metro)
Me(on phone) : Where are you man?? I am going to be at Rajiv Chowk in 5 minutes. I don’t want to get late this time. My attendance is touching the lowest lows. Come fast or I am going.
Raman: Wait kar liyo please!!
Me: OK OK! See you at Barakhamba!
Raman: K
At Barakhamba station: waiting for him for past 2 minutes and checking my watch and phone periodically. All of a sudden a girl in school dress, with long straight hair , smallest of the bag and skirt , and an iphone. In short everything that a man wants, passed by …… and I was nothing but Awestruck !
Phone rang and it was Raman again: I am inthe next train , 2nd coach 1st door (give little stress to your brain and you will know why 2nd coach 1st door)
Train arrived doors opened and we gave each other a fist bump. Then he said sorry. I asked why? He said he couldn’t message her up yesterday as his net was down. Suddenly I remembered that I was in love with someone and I had asked him to message her up and make her talk to me! Something that I was thinking about the whole day and night. All of a sudden she tookbackseat in my life, or should I say back bonnet
In the Afternoon (in college canteen)
Kapil: They are sucking life out of me with these assignments. It’s like my upper brain is going to burst….any moment!
Me: Upper brain??? What about the lower one???
Kapil: Naah….that part is working smooth…
Raman: What the hell are you talking man? Are you drunk? Again????
Kapil: Arre man…. I have a small theory for myself…..like I give all the pressure to my upper brain….and the lower one only concentrates on the other part of the world….
Me: Other part??
Kapil: Other part means drinking, counter strike, porn, girlfriends, Need for speed, movies, facebook …..
Me: Ok! Stop! I get you
Raman: Hey look! It’s Deepika Padukone! Have a look man! She is looking smoking hot….that too in saree….man…AWESOME!
And for the second time in one day, I was thinking of someone else. Leaving my ‘true love’ behind
Kapil: Raman told me that you are trying again with that same girl……are you nuts??? Aisa kya hai yaar usme??? Mujhe to kuchh khaas nahin lagi….
Raman: Bhai ladke ko pyaar ho gaya hai….
But it had no effect on me as I was drowning into Deepika Padukone 😉
Raman: Don’t be so silent man! I will surely message her today….bhai ke liye kuchh bhi 😀
The 3 minute song was over and I was back to life again…..
Me: Koi ni….do it whenever you like….
And there you go……a new dilemma in my mind was building….
In the night (At home)
Opening facebook>–checking notifications>–commenting and liking on some>–accepting shitville requests>–liking yaar app bade wo ho pages>–logging out>–going to bed….thinking if I should stop Raman to message her…..why am I in double minds??
And the phone rang…it was Raman again.
Me: Hello….yaar I was thinking ki ….
Raman: Stop….listen to me first…. I messaged her….the lines were quite senti ones….lets see kya hota hai….chal bye ….mum is shouting now
Me: Thanks! Bye!
And I slept. After so many days, I forgot to open that special purpose id.
Next day morning (in metro)
Raman: Hey man..
Me: Hi
Raman: Aur bhai….ab to aap bhi busy ho jao ge….bhai aaj to party honi chahiye
Me: Yeah. As if she said yes.
Raman: Bol degi. Atleast see what have I sent.
Me: Ok show me (very half heartedly)
Raman : Wait…
In a minute Raman was laughing his heart out.
Me: What man? What happened?
Raman: She blocked me too…. haha….
For the whole day I was trying to be sad….but it was of no use….and in the afternoon…same song ….same Deepika….same saree….and same me…..
MORAL:
Love happens many times,
All you have to do is to try as many times,
Until you get your perfect rhyme

Kashmir, a place which redefines the word beauty . It’s flowers, it’s mountains, it’s people, all are beautiful. Before visiting there I always wondered about the beauty of such a place and why people go gaga over Kashmir?! It was a different world altogether, something that will leave a deep impact in your heart, mind and soul!
From houseboats to the apples…
From people to the army…
From Dal Lake to Gulmarg…
Everything seem to be perfectly made by God ! The pictures you see are self explanatory of the beauty of this place
It fascinates you to leave the world beside and find your true identity. The first question that arises is ‘What is the difference between those regular hill stations and Kashmir?’.Kashmir unlike other hill stationsdoes not leave you wondering for more and more, Instead it delivers and how!! After visiting Kashmir only you will understand why two countries are fighting for it !!
We all have heard and read much about the natural beauty of that place but there are many unsaid and unheard things, like people in Kashmir do not exactly hate army, they know that army is necessary for their safety and for state’s safety and people there also do not exactly love army, they know that sometimes army interferes way too much !
Here are some must do things if you are going to that part of the country…
Kashmiri kawah is a must there…without that (or liquor) you are unable to survive in there….I would prefer the former any time…
And as we know it is one of the most sensitive places in the country, so you better be aware of some ‘not to do’s’ also…
So have these points cleared in your mind and enjoy the paradise on earth….
A place that made me cry,
A place that made them die
Something that we all love,
Something that taught me love
A sudden beauty that demanded more
A sudden silence that made me lure,
There I was asking for all,
There I was asking for Kashmir !

Opposition party declared ‘Bharat Band’ against FDI in retail’, declared one of the many news channels .
“The intention of government is quite clear , they just want to make money forthemselves via these big foreign firms, they have no idea how badly it will effect small shopkeepers in every street of the country”, said one of the opposition partymember on a popular prime time debate show.
After watching all this hoo-laah all around the country, I decided to interview a Kirana shop owner in my locality .After all, his is going to be the worst affected class by this Foreign Direct Investment in our country and more precisely into our lives.
Following is the conversation I had with Bittoo, owner of the kirana store near my house.
Bittoo: Welcome brother, tell me what do you want ?
Me: I just want ten minutes of you, just wanted to know what you guys think about this FDI thing.
He initially refused me, but after much persuasion he finally agreed to give me his life’s first interview!
Me: So Bitoo, tell me what do you and other shop owners think about this FDI in retail?
Bittoo: Actually ,if you see there are quite a few existing retail chains like ‘Big Bazaar’, ’Big Apple’ and some others that affect our business by 20-30%,2 years ago , scenario was totally different. It was only about us. We faced competition only from our fellow shopkeepers. But since the origin of these retail chains in our country we have suffered a lot and you can imagine our condition 2 years from now, when FDI will be in full flow.
Me: It indeed is very true, but have you ever thought as if what was the reason behind that 20-30% dip in your sales?
Bittoo: See, what we now have is middle class and that too is rising very fast, what they get there ischeaper rates, lots of offers and better facilities.
Me: So, you know it all, better facilities is the sole reason behind it and after FDI this will grow much more than what it is now !
Bittoo: That’s why we are renovating our shop. We want to attract more customers.
Me: Tell me, do you remember any of your customers who some time ago buy his household requirements from you only, but then shifted to these retail chains?
Bittoo: There are quite a few of them but we also have those customers who still buy all useful stuff from our shop only.
Me: These are like two sections that come to your shop. One, who are liable grandma types who buys everything from Bittoo ki dukaan and two, who are not so liable and goes to where they find best deals.
Bittoo: Yes, but the second section of customers are on a decline.
Me: Then you may have to come up with new and innovative offers everyday!
Bittoo: True! To operate your shop like a retail chain does. Owning a shop will not be as simple as this is in present. You may have to come up with new offerings everyday.
Me: Thank you for your time Bitoo, I hope FDI is not going to affect you much.
That was a hope against hope. If now only is his business dips 20-30 percent, soon this figure will increase, if he does not come up with better offers and facilities.
Bittoo is a bigger shopkeeper than what we normally have in small towns and even in metropolitans. He is only going to see a decrease in his sales but the real harm will be done to small shopkeepers who has shops in smaller streets and that too in their households only. Their sales will not only dip but they may well have to shut their shops up as there will be stiff competition from
outside plus they don’t have capital like Bitoo, who may well survive after introduction of FDI in India.
Following is a small note on how other sections of the society will be affected by FDI-
Shoppers-They may well be a happier lot, as they will get better products at cheaper rates.
Workers in shops(your chhotu next door)-They will get better jobs and better working conditions.
Farmers-They may get better price for their products or it can be other way round. It solely depends on the operation of companies, whether they will operate without those agents who take away as much as 50% share of farmers.
Out an out, it is a difficult stand for government and the office bearers. We got to wait and watch how the situation will turn out to be.

The most ridiculous and obvious dilemma- number 2
The most ridiculous and obvious dilemma-‘Mera kya hoga?‘
‘Agla station Botanical garden hai, darwaze baeen taraf khulenge,saavdhani se utrein
Next station is botanical garden, doors will open on the left, mind the gap’
“Get up dude,station aa gaya”, said Ramana (its ‘Raman with an extra A’, all because of those astrologers 😉
“What’s new in that ? roz aata hai” , I said.
“What is wrong with you?…Why are you so depressed?”said this very brave friend of mine…brave because what he just did was suicidal !!
“You want to know what is wrong with me?!…..OKK then listen….I don’t have a girlfriend whereas you have just dumped one….my marks are almost null……my father just gave me a lecture on ‘DON’T DRIVE FAST’……and I am fighting with everyone who is coming around…….and its no big deal…..because all my days are now same….!!” I don’t know why but I said the first line with so much force….even the fat aunty sitting next to me started laughing.
“Hey meri girlfriend kahaan se beech mein aayi ??”,he said.
“Kaash aayi hoti ”,I said and the fat lady laughed again…
That horrible laugh by the fat lady made both of us laugh….
Before she got up and took her bottle gourd out….we ran out of the train…
“ oh fish….she is so good!” he said
“Hey dude , are you mad…you liked that aunty?!…i told you…you really have a bad taste”I said
“Shut up! I am not talking about that aunty…look there…”,he pointed to a girl….there was a girl….with blue eyes….hot body …..she was in our college uniform, which otherwise looked so dumb….but from this point onwards the same uniform looked like a princess’s dress!
“Who is she?” I asked
“Lavika Sharma, 2nd year, computer science branch”, he answered
“Are you serious ??…from when such good species of girls start existing in our college?!”,I was both amazed and surprised at the same time.
“What happened guys….kisko taad rahe ho?”arrived one more friend named kapil…
“The hottest girl in college!”, I said
“naah….she isn’t that hot yaar”, he jumped.
“Abe tu bhaag yahaan se….you never had any girl…how would you know”, said Ramana..
For a moment I backed out as the same applied to me also…
“Aisa kya hai isme?”, asked kapil
“Brother , you are talking like a total fool….you tell me what is wrong with her?”,counter question by Ramana..
While all this was happening…I was busy checking her out !
“I mean she is definitely not the hottest of them all” kapil said politely
“OK…then do me a favor …..get me her number”, said Ramana
“Naah….i am not interested in her”, one of the biggest lies I ever heard !
“Oh shut up….You don’t have guts to do that”, Ramana fired !
“and you don’t have the looks too!”, I jumped
“oh shut up…..i have both….u just wait and watch !!”kapil announced
“if you get her number , I would give you 500 rupees”, here we were….one more bet…and this time it was Kapil’s prestige that was in danger !
1 WEEK LATER
In College canteen
‘kya karoon o ladies, mein hun aadat se majboor
Huzoor huzoor mein hun aadat se majboor’….
“New movie …..Ranveer Singh starrer….”,nobody asked me but still I showered them with information
“Kapil its 1 week now….u got her number or you have a crisp 500 rupee note ready?!”,Ramana asked with his ever exciting tone without noticing what I was saying :p
“hey ,wait a minute….when did I say that I will give you 500 ….I am not going to give you anything ?”,Kapil shouted
“ Grow up guys”, I jumped again
“This is wrong !…we never have a one sided bet !”, it was time for Ramana to shout
“oh come to the point…..you failed to get her number,right??”, Ramana shouted again
“yes….she didn’t even looked at me…I tried two times to talk to her but it was of no use”, said kapil
“Dekh liya…..badaa aaya…’she isn’t that hot’…ab kya hua?!”,words of victory from Ramana’s mouth
“Hey she is coming …..change the topic !!”,kapil suggested..
‘sheila …sheila ki jawaani…
I am too sexy for you , mein tere haath na aani’ someone changed the channel…..situation and song matched……. and all three of us laughed
“Hey she is coming here…….to our table?!...kapil tune kuchh kiya to nahin??”,Ramana whispered
“I don’t know…”, kapil whispered
“Hey !! my name is Lavika Sharma…2nd year”, said Lavika
“hey”, all of us said in a chorus…
“You write on INDIAN FUSION right?”, she pointed to me
“ye….yeah….”,I hesitated
“I am a regular reader of TIF and I just love the posts by you guys !”,she exclaimed
“ohh….thanx…”,for a moment I thought It was a dream..
“I just love your posts….all you guys on TIF write so well !!”,she again exclaimed
“thanks again…”,I said
“Can you give me your number …..please please please !”,she pleaded
I was totally amazed…what was that….she asked for my number ….and that too with three ‘please’ absolutely free!
“9910#%^()*”,I gave her my number…
“thank you so much…..see you later”, she waved and walked back
‘Aaj din chadeya…tere rang wargaa…phool sa khila aaj din…’ again the situation and song matched
“kamine….ye kya tha…. Tu to bada sahi nikla….pat gayi bhai….ab to party !!”,both of them said in a voice with happiness of a free samosa but sadness of getting their friend settled with the best girl !
This is the biggest problem with boys…we jump to the conclusion without thinking anything….and i paid the price for that………..
1 WEEK LATER
“koi phone nahin aaya uska”, I pointed
“haha……bada khush ho raha tha….’impressed with a writer’….ab kya hua…???!!!!”,Ramana shouted
“I will beat you up now”, I shouted
“Chillax man”, Kapil said
“But why did she asked for my number ??”,I raised my doubts..
And here I faced the second dilemma ……
God knows why that girl asked for my number….
It remained a mystry…..and it still is !!
god knows what girls really want….
Don’t know if we are wrong or are we unable to grab what they want to say….
“Manoj !! Manoj!! get up beta…its already 6:30 ….get up otherwise you will be late for college!!”,my mum was shouting…
“huhh…ahh..that was a dream….damn!!…life is still same for me.. 
….god knows when i will get someone !!”,i said to myself…
i took a brief look of my phone which was as silent as everyday…
“chal beta…tera kuchh nahin ho sakta !!”, I told myself and got up and away from my dreams

Who is the next person in your life ,after your mother, who can do anything for a smile on your face?
My grandmother for me was a mentor, a teacher, a friend , a woman of real substance who always showed me the divine light to move in the right direction.
My grandmother-my best buddy
From saving me from my parents when I made a mistake to watching pokemon and dexter every evening with me, she did everything with me ,she shared every secret of mine, she was my bestest buddy who always was on my side to be with me and to support me with every single step that wasessential for me!
My grandmother-my mentor
The person of my life who made me understood everything, she was not a literate but she was the most educated of all the persons I have come across in my life. She was the one who not just made me to narrate the ‘Ramayana’ and ‘Mahabharata’ but also made me understood the truth of life behind those epic ,which otherwise I was totally unable to grab .
My grandmother-my best cook
The best alloo ka parantha, kheer,gajar ha halwa and many more were the things that always awaited me when I used to come back from my school. The thing that made the real difference was the generosity and the love that she served everything with. Even bournvita milk was so much delicious whenever she made it for me.
My grandmother-a storyteller
She shared her most prestigious treasure with me, that is the experience she had in her life. She told me everything, from her time with poverty to her sufferings, that she faced to made my father what he is today. She was really a woman of substance that not just made life beautiful for her children but also made them understand the value of life.
My grandmother-my goddess
She was my goddess. A goddess is one who always give you and never demand anything in return . She was genuinely god for me, even at a greater position than god in my eyes because she always gave everything to me without demanding anything in return !
THE LAST DAY OF MY GODDESS…
It was four o clock in the morning when my MTNL landline rang. It was me who got up and received the phone call. It was my cousin brother , he asked me to give the phone to my father. He was also awake and took the receiver from me. His face turned a bit weak on hearing what he heard. He told me to take the car keys out and come down so as to go to my brother’s place as my dadi is unwell. I felt the same weakness that my father felt two minutes before.
‘Beta mein theek hun…….tum log itni raat ko pareshaan kyun ho rahe ho……..kuchh nahin hua hai mujhe………’ she was looking very pale and yellow. My father asked her to come to our house, so that we can give all sorts of medicine that were required . For five minutes my father persuaded her and atlast she had to agree upon this. My cousin brother’s house is within one kilometer of radius from our house and our family doctor lived nearby.
She urged to stay on the ground floor of the house as she was feeling very weak .My father asked me to get back and sleep.
I woke up at seven in the morning , my mother told me that the doctor had visited several times and the situation is under control . I got down to see her and felt pain in my heart to see her like this. She was looking weak but she was talking to everyone.
At one o clock in the hot and sunny afternoon of 20th June 2009 (the same day) I was reading my English textbook’s first chapter called ‘The portrait of a lady’ by Kushwant Singh, with each line I was thinking of my grandmother……
But I think it was written…….. my sister called me downstairs…..she was crying……I first hesitated to go down……I was not ready to face such pain in my life…….
Finally I gathered strength to go down and face the worst moment of my life till date…………..
‘Press her chest……press her chest………so that she can breathe……’ everyone was shouting……my father was having the same weakness on his face…….
They called me and they put her head on my lap…….the same position we used to had while telling me another story…….the only difference was that the positions were interchanged……
I was observing her closely……..with each passing second she was breathing heavily…….her face was approaching the ultimate expression of peace…….she was departing to heaven……..my goddesswas going to her god…………
This was the time when I felt great helplessness……….she was leaving us and nobody of us was able to stop her from leaving her children……..
Suddenly there was no stimulus from her side………..everyone realized that after one full minute……..there was silence all across………..deep silence……….as our life was gone……….she was gone………………………………
Silence of death was broken by cry of life……….nobody was able to control the pain felt inside everybody’s heart…………..
With this the beautiful phase of my life got over……..
I still cherish the time I spent with my goddess……..
Those who still live and spend time with their goddess are the luckiest persons on this planet ………….
Never make your god unhappy…….respect her …….because once gone she will never return to your life to show you the divine light…………
This post is a very small tribute to my grandmother……who was my life and soul……
Wherever you are……I just want to say that my love and respect for you will never be broken…..
Love you dadi !

The most ridiculous and obvious dilemma-TO HAVE A GIRLFRIEND OR NOT?
‘That was all about Newton’s rings, now our next topic is Interference due to thin film’, stated one of the many bulky books.
Two days before my very first Engineering exam, I was busy with my physics in the college library. My classes got over at 12 on that day and I was waiting for my other cab mates to get over with their respectivelectures and practicals ,so that we can depart to our respective homes .The day was as boring as it can get.
“Chal yaar café chalte hain”, said one of my friends. I looked at my book thinking of the syllabus that was not going to get over by any chance.
‘Ghar pe pad lunga’ I thought and got up from my chair.
It was 2:00 in the afternoon, I had already spent two hours in this very geeky place and I desperately wanted a cup of coffee to wake me up and to get out of all those interference patterns that Mr. Newton and his other friends discovered some 200 years ago!
As I got up from my chair , I took a look at the library in front of me…….full of students having books of all kinds in their hands……..
We then walked out of that most colorless and unimaginative room of my life right now.
Walk from library to café seemed to be too long and my brain was shouting at me, ‘why you left your physics in half way?, you should and could have completed one more topic!!’
But my feet were only walking in the direction that was only leading me to cafeteria and we still think that the nerves of our body are connected to the brain, but in practical life it seems to be taking order from our heart, who is too lazy to do any work!
At last I was in café, there were some boys and some girls but many couples. I always have a background song in my mind that keeps running all the time….and the song is always related to the environment or the situation I am in.
Entering the café is always a tough task, as I see some couples deeply in love (or a sort of time pass by many)
Whatever, but the song that came to my mind was ‘Saigal Blues’ from very ‘sacred’ film called ‘Delly Belly’ (you will understand why ,if you have had heard the song)
‘Duniya mein pyaar jab barse…..naa jaane dil ye kyun tarse….’, Incidentally the same song was played by one of the most famous music channels among the youth that is MTV
As if this time it was GOD who was making fun of me!
Then my friend kapil ordered coffee and it took us around 1 hour to gulp that up ,there were two reasons for that-
1)some decent looking girls were sitting on the adjacent table.(we call them ‘rare prajaati’)
2)we were too lazy to get up and go back to that geeky headquarters of study!
The time passed and finally my cab mates messaged me up, ‘jaldi bahar aajaa kamine……aur kitna padegaa……aajaa nahin to hum chale’ as if they were the ones waiting in the ‘learning resource centre’ (that is what library is called in Jaypee institute of information technology)…….yuckk .
I ran as if I was given a chance to escape the jail !
‘switty switty switty tera pyaar chaida’ was played by pioneer stereo system in the wobbly dobbly cab.
Its stereo system is of more worth than the car itself!
Then I saw Rishant (one of my cab mates) messaging his Amity girlfriend ‘I love you too’
He noticed me noticing his message and he stared at me as if I asked for his girlfriend’s mobile number……….. but that was what I really wanted to have
(I thought to myself ofcourse)
And then he started his ‘pravachan’ on how to get a girlfriend and not to look at others personal messages!
‘chup kar bh@#$%od’ said my frustrated side and he was back again messaging his Amity girlfriend
(amity girls are really beautiful I tell you…….comparable to the elite group of DU)
I thought to myself ‘why am I still girlfriend less? I should have befriended a girl in my college atleast……..then I remembered the post by Anwesha mam that was ‘pyaar kiya toh daro’……a very inspiring post for boys like me who still don’t have a girlfriend!!!’
Actually in my college there are around 500 students in 1st year, only 25% of them are girls
That is 125 girls , of which 75 are big time geeks(or they appears to be the same)
Out of those left 50 girls, only 15 are worth giving some sort of ‘attention’!
Now tell me-how is it possible to have a girlfriend when there are 15 girls for some 375 boys !!
Stuff like ‘advance booking’ is a necessity here!!
As far as senior girls (oops mams) are concerned, I am not as lucky as Mr. Dhaval Prataap singh……of ‘the most beautiful girl ever’ fame…….nobody is as lucky as that boy is…..(a senior girl with a boy….they met , love flourished and they kissed……..practically impossible)!!
And I don’t have connections with girls of other colleges having so much ‘haryaali’ (one more term used for beautiful girls), like my friend Rishant has (I must tell you that Rishant is also a geek)
Sometimes I think that I am surrounded by many dilemmas …..some days ago it was the branch that I should take in engineering and now whether to have a girlfriend or not !!
The above description of my college life was because I wanted to give you all an idea of my boring 9 to 5 college life…….which now is as boring as sitting in an hour long physics lecture!
This dilemma is not going to get over by any hook or crook…… in near future at least!
Atlast I reached my home , after having such deep thoughts…..my cab mates busy replying their masters……not having time to say a good bye……I was not expecting that also …….as only they are now slaves of their masters………like this one more day of my precious life passed …. And the question ‘whether to have a girlfriend or not?’ still remained unanswered !!!
NOTE-
GUYS ,I WAS NOT DRUNK WHILE WRITING THIS POST, I DON’T KNOW HOW THIS CAME OUT, BUT IT CAME OUT !
I would love to have your views about my dilemma …..are you guys having the same dilemma …….then please don’t contact me…..as I will increase yours also!
