my birthday

7 december
ok. I dunno where to begin.
I'll start from now. Right now, i'm crying, as i predicted around 4 days ago. Then, i felt like crap. I felt lonely and alone and pathetic...And well, like crap. I cried then too, thinking about how i'd be all alone on my 16th bday (ppl couldn't come thanx to the darling phy test- i tell u phy ruins lives...) and feel like shit and sorry for myself and cry.
Wee. I'm crying now. But because i've realised how loved i really am and what an ingrate i am to not realise it and thank god.
Sam and prachi and nripsuta turned up today at eleven-ish with a cake and eatables and the card. I was sitting on the bed, in PAJAMAS and with OILED HAIR and talking on the phone with mansi.
-_-;

Hey, I was going to take a bath when mansi called... :( ,don't blame me
i freaked out. And i was really happy. I ran to my room to change and sat on the bed for 5 minutes to come to terms with what happened. Then, after sam banged on the door, i finally changed and went outside to get a beard of chocolate (i turned into a man on my sixteenth birthday! Unfortunately, not from a boy, but a girl. Fortunately for 10 minutes only.)
we ate. We chatted. They confessed about their conspiracy. How they did it. The planning and the dodging me to get the card signed etc etc
and the card... Its AWESOME. I love it. Sam must have died making it. The amount of effort and detail and work made my heart melt. It also explained Divyanshu disappearing during the eng period when shreya (not ghobi, not dhobi, but section g wali) called him. We teased him all day about it, asking him why he went and talked to a girl whose name he doesn't even kno ("oh ho... FLIRTING!!!"). And seal signed it. He SIGNED NICELY!
The world is weird.
Then sam left *sniff*
then nripsuta's dad came and she had to go.
Prachi stayed till 2. We chatted. We discussed. We looked up phy derivations and even tried a phy experiment (a ring n a bead.Got a bead. Ok. Got a ring. Ok. Wait....Wtf, ring to be 2m long???).
After prachi left, i decided to read sam's letter thing. I'd saved it for last so i could read it aaram se and savor it.
A while later, when i was still reading it, mom walked into the room and just stood there cleaning up the table a bit and looking around. I really started getting irritated cause i was getting senti reading sam's letter and i wanted to be alone for a while. She asked me a few questions and i got more irritated on being interrupted and wished she would leave. I was going back to reading it, when i realised something. This is my mom. She bloody gave birth to me. She's the reason i'm alive and have a stupid birthday. Thus, birthdays should actually be about the kids and mothers. All the importance is given to the kid on the birthday and the mom is sort of forgotten in the celebration. She had been the biggest part of the whole thingy.
Dunno if you get what i mean.
Whatever, i felt like a sore asshole. I looked up to see mom walking out of the room. I ran after her and gave her a big large hug, and mentally slapped myself for ever being irritated with my mom. I then quickly walked into my room to hide my tears.
A few seconds later my mom yelled at me to go have my bath and i couldn't help but smile.

Just made me realise that there are so many things we're not thankful for.
Thanks mom, sam,chi, nripsuta, manvi, vani, shreeda, mansi, nayani, jismi, ankita etc etc.

Survey

"Subohi",he said "you're arrogant, you know."
"huh?!? Kaise?"
"Jaise tu behave karti hai na, usse."

Thats it.
Such a small conversation. And it made me go crazy for a week. I went around asking people if i was arrogant or not.

Here's the result of the survey.
Ppl asked- lots
Ppl who answered in negative- almost all
Ppl who answered in positive- 2

Ok. So most answered in negative, either because they're too nice or i am.


The 2 ppl who answered in positive were-

Meghavarshini- yup, our darling tomboy.
She said "Jitna hona chahiye, utni hai. Its not like you won't talk to ppl and be stuck-up, but you also don't behave like a wimp." (this is in my words. She was speaking in Hindi and i forgot what exactly she said) "But you're not that arrogant. If you were, you wouldn't have been worrying about it now, or thinking about it."

Prachi- Our darling cute-but-damn-intelligent-little girl.
She said, "You are. And maybe its a good thing you are. You don't take any crap from anyone."


Well, i have to say that i'm flattered. I asked the guy what exactly i did to make him think i was arrogant. He has promised to tell me the next time i act arrogant.

And yeah, IF i am arrogant, hell yeah, i'm proud of it.



Faltu ka info-
our team name for interrobang (for which we qualified second, but didn't win) was My Foot, thought by who else, but your footness, Poison.
It was pretty dramatic, the announcement.
Ishan goes, "And the second team to qualify with 10 points is.... My Foot!"
and everyone looks around silently,wondering whats going on and what he means. No one claps.
We were silently high five-ing and getting up when someone finally spoke, realising that its a team name, "yeh kaun hai?"

Faltu ka info #2-
This ad on Hit 95 fm has me laughing everytime i hear it.
"What is your idea of a great time?" voice A asks
"A great time? Just give me a TIGER, and i'll have a TIGER TIME!"
then voice A informs you how "you too can have a TIGER TIME at any of these tiger parks!"
Yeehaw.
