Very weird things are happening. I mean, VERY weird things, more weird than the normal weird.
Here's a list-
1) The Earthquake.
I mean, can't it have struck at a better time? I was sleeping so soundly, kya yaar ... It was freaky, we went downstairs from our third floor house. I mean, I was standing BAREFOOT on the road, cause we went down in a hurry. Then I went up to get my slippers and we went for a walk around Munirka. We met a guy taking his dog for a walk (at 4:50!), he said that the dog had woken up a while before the quake and started to bark. The poor dog was still freaked out. A lot of people were on the street. Then we went home and I listened to music until it was time to go to school.
2) The Cooker.
I don't know how, I don't know why, a cooker in our house just fell off the gas. Like, just tilted off. It had been on a low flame for ten minutes or so, when it fell onto the marble floor with a thud. No one was in the kitchen. I have no idea how it happened. I'm just happy it didn't burst on falling.
3) My friend has gone craaaaaazy.
My friend is (apparently) trying to suicide. For some reason. Some hell of a reason it must be.
4) Strange people.
I don't know why a lot of people are getting intimidated by me. They just come up to me and take panga. Here are 3 incidents from today only-
A) A guy just goes up to his friend, points in the direction of Sam and mine, and says some thing to him. He clearly points at me, stares, and keeps on talking. I walk up to him.
Me - What? Are you doing some research or something?
He mumbles something to his friend, who is pointedly looking away.
Me - Didn't your mom teach you it's rude to point at people?
He - What rude? Kya rude? Kahan ka rude? Ye kya rude-rude kar rahi hai?
He looks hopefully at his friend, expecting him to laugh at what he said. Friend pointedly looks away.
Me - You know, tumhari besti ho rahi hai.
I walk away. Loser. Later, he comes up to me, points in my face and goes "Haha", rude". Sam and I lol into his face.
Big time loser.
B) we were standing outside on the stairs leading to the AVH, when a group of guys (who I'd never seen in my life) standing on the skywalk in front of CB yell to me - "Blue Coat!"
I know it was me, cause there was no other blue coat in that area, Sam was missing and there were a lot of green coats around me. They went again, "blue coat! Kitna padte ho!" Then they started yelling "Blue Coat! Blue Coat! Blue Coat! Blue Coat!" in a chorus as if they were cheering. Suddenly a teacher appeared behind them and they shut up.
C) I'd gone to the blossoms seminar room for the poetry competition, but there was no one around except for a couple of sixthies. I don't say anything to them when they just start off. To me, that is.
Kid 1 - Oi!
Kid 2 - Hamare pas permission hai.
Kid 3 - Head mistress ko complain karegi? Ja kar. (???!!!)
Kid 4 - Han han, kar ke dikha.
Kid 2 - Yeh to pagal hai.
They all were saying something as I scanned the room. When I stopped looking and heard exactly what they were saying, I was irritated. How the hell can these sixthies talk to me like this? I leaned forward and slapped the nearest kid neatly on the head. The rest of them shut up by themselves.
5) One of my dreams came true. I had once dreamed of this circular corridor type place with vendors selling pots and things. I seriously saw the same thing in the trade fair, in the UP pavilion! I'm serious!
Well, life is weird.

Weird, With a Capital W

11 things said by people:
Barefoot on the road? You were in that much hurry? Oh well, better barefoot on the roadside on which I'm betting at least one cow crapped than under debris.
I think, suicide is the wrong term for what was ... happening.
And excuse me, when those guys were yelling "Blue Coat", you were standing in the middle of a large group of second blue badge receivers. Unless I'm very mistaken, they all had their blazers on.
Sixthies are getting shorter and worse day-by-day, year-by-year. I was forced to witness a marriage ceremony (I kid you not. The girl did say, "Now the groom may kiss the bride") between girls when I went to the BL block loo. And what was even more funny? Apparently, one minute later, they were celebrating their anniversary.
ummm... Thanks for telling me about the any pat.
and by the way, how do you know? You weren't there. And i there was only me in a blue boat in the direction they were yelling. There were girls recieving their blue coats around me, in their green coats.
and yeah, kids are getting dumber by the year. Imagine an eightie spelling you as yoo and writing the past tense of freeze as frooze. Dumb!
Excuse me, Subohi, I may not have been there THEN. But when I returned, I'm assuming, all those girls in their blue coats didn't just dash out to group around you. You're forgetting Pragun and Bamon, both of whom had their blue coats on and were near you.
Kids were always getting fatter, shorter and dumber by the day. Seriously, aaj ke bachhe ...
All they do is sit out their days before an LCD screen (television OR computer), watching flickering images. The hardest the brain has to work is to decode those pictures.
And eat.
And sleep.
Which is essentially what I do. But I don't watch TV that much and I certainly USE the gray cells for much better activities.
One can always make out when it's a sixth kiddo. Like yesterday, I was walking back to class when I saw a lot of people rushing out of the junior chem lab. The height of most of them was half mine. And the typical 6thie-kinda things. Sigh. :P
yeah, for some genetic or strange reason, the kids are getting shorter each year. I mean, we weren't so short and dumb in sixth,were we?
You never know. My eyes seriously popped out when aastha showed us the 7th class assembly video.
why? Were you over-awed by their short-ness?
ok, ajax/anima mailed me this-
in reference to the incident in which the weird guy was pointing at me, he said-
it seems the incident, i was an eye-witness. The chap who was pointing at you is someone i will call a person obsessed with the fairer sex. He goes up to girls and teachers, touches their feet and says namaste in punjabi. He is a compulsive attention grabber, especially of girls. He was upswing the same trick again and was castled by your quick response.
Hmmm.... Makes of feel better about being rude to an unknown person. I hate such people.
Wow.
LoL.
Sakshi, I assure you, we weren't all that short in 6th. You might have been. You came into 6th one after us after all.
In the class 7th video, I was short. Quite. And can't say that I'm surprised, I've seriously grow quite tall in 8th and probably a lil in 9th. Atleast that's how all my relatives go: oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! you've gained soooooooooo much heiiiiiiggggghhhhhhhhhhtttttttt!!!!!!1111
Yeah, that's exactly how a few say it. Can't tell you how badly I feel like strangling their necks. :)
Now when I read it, the grammar of the last sentence of my previous comment doesn't make much sense. It plainly meant that I do feel like strangling the necks of those relatives who say "that" and start pulling my cheeks very hard.
