Dost Dost Na Raha, Mutilated Ho Gaya

Hey, have you ever had a friend who you never thought was freaky, start chopping her hand off?
I do!
Guess ...
All of you know déjà, I know, so I don't have to give her name.
I actually find the whole matter hilarious. I would have been worried too if I was an idiot and I didn't know her well. I trust her enough to know she won't kill herself.
Ok, you think I'm crazy cause I think like this, hein na?
Why do I find it hilarious? Simply because of the way people react to the incident. Even when they really aren't worried they rush up her, make the "haww" face and ask as an obligation what is wrong. As if she'll tell. And that too, to the uncaring people.
Hahahahaha!!!
Then, they begin suggesting strange reasons for her doing it. Here's a list:

1) depression due to Boards/pre-Boards etc. etc.
2) parents scolding her. (OMG, what a reason to die. Come on guys, it's their job and we all not know it. It's not enough to depress her into dying!)
3) ______ not e-mailing her.
4) Anuj/Aditya/AC/DC/some unknown guy leaving her.
5) want of attention
6) lack of a love life

So, what do YOU think the reason is? Take your pick people, the winner will get a blue, sequinned, knee-length skirt!(même for guys).
It was nice irritating her. When people came and asked what was up, I just hinted at some un-probable reason and sat back and laughed my heart out as they irritated her and she desperately tried to convince them that that was not the case.
Hmmm....
I like being mean.

Irritayting- all thanks to Rakhi (Sawant)

Declarartion: Adi is obsessed with me.
Ignore the long list of comments by him. I know its difficult to do that since you have to scroll all the way down, but still.
He apparently did that because I called Anuj "rakhi part 2". I meant Rakhi Sawant, but Adi, wanting to assosciate anything I say with himself, thinks I was referring to his mom.(oohhhhhhhhhh.....)

Going by the Law

Okay, here's a list of weird laws which I got from a site. I think a lot of them are made up, but it's nice to think that people can be so idiotic and to disprove that "There's A Reason For Everything" theory. Here it goes (the law is in caps and the one in small letters are my comments) -

Thailand
IT'S ILLEGAL TO LEAVE YOUR HOUSE IF YOU'RE NOT WEARING UNDERWEAR. Wonder who checks that...
YOU MUST WEAR A SHIRT WHILE DRIVING A CAR. Why? Because it might distract girls in the other car and cause an accident?

Switzerland
CLOTHES MAY NOT BE HUNG UP TO DRY ON SUNDAY. Because the sight of your undies up on a line may just destroy someone's holiday ...
IT'S ILLEGAL TO FLUSH THE TOILET AFTER 10 p.m. They're planning to suffocate people.
A MAN MAY NOT RELIEVE HIMSELF STANDING UP AFTER 10 pm. Too distracting, eh?

Italy
A MAN MAY BE ARRESTED FOR WEARING A SKIRT. Wonder what the Scots have to say about that ...

United Kingdom
NO COWS MAY BE DRIVEN DOWN THE ROADWAY BETWEEN 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. UNLESS THERE IS PRIOR APPROVAL BY THE POLICE COMMISSIONER. Awww... My cow likes to take long walks in the morning!!
SINCE 1313, IT'S ILLEGAL FOR MPs TO DON ARMOR IN PARLIAMENT. Hey, it's a battlefield out there!
ANY BOY BELOW THE AGE OF 10 MAY NOT SEE A NAKED MANNEQUIN. "Ma'am, your boy's a criminal. You probably cannot imagine what a heinous thing he did today."
A BED MAY NOT BE HUNG OUT A WINDOW. Hey ... that's where everyone normally sleeps!

Alabama
IT'S ILLEGAL TO WEAR A FAKE MOUSTACHE TO CHURCH. Why? Kyuuuun??

Florida
A MAN CAN NOT COMMIT "UNNATURAL ACTS" WITH ANOTHER MAN. Hmmm ... I wonder what they mean ...
IF AN ELEPHANT IS LEFT TIED TO A PARKING METER, THE PARKING HAS TO BE PAID JUST LIKE FOR A VEHICLE. Damn, and I thought getting an elephant would help reduce travel costs. It's even eco-friendly.
IT'S ILLEGAL TO SING IN PUBLIC WHILE HAVING A SWIMSUIT ON. It's a deadly combo. Makes women more enticing and increases the chances of their being raped, don't you know?
MEN MAY NOT BE SEEN IN PUBLIC IN ANY SORT OF STRAP-LESS GOWN. Wonder how they can wear one?

Ohio
MORE THAN 5 WOMEN CAN NOT LIVE TOGETHER IN A HOUSE. Maybe 4 is better than 5...
YOU CAN NOT ARREST ANY ONE ON A SUNDAY OR THE FOURTH OF JULY. How dare you interrupt the hard earned free day of the cold blooded murderer?

California
ANIMALS ARE BANNED FROM MATING WITHIN 1500 ft OF A SCHOOL, A TAVERN OR A PLACE OF WORSHIP. Can you explain that to the animal, please?
NO VEHICLE WITHOUT A DRIVER MAY EXCEED THE SPEED OF 60 m/hr. Okay, if you say so.

Texas
IT'S ILLEGAL TO SELL ONE'S EYE. Awww... But that's how I earn my daily bread!!

New York
CITIZENS CAN NOT GREET EACH OTHER BY "PUTTING ONE'S THUMB TO THE NOSE AND WIGGLING THE FINGERS". My child hood friend will kill me if I don't greet her like that anymore, and just because it's against the law. Sheesh!!
*shake head*

Lovely TV

Since yesterday, I have declared my TV as the most irritating one on earth. It lacks tata sky (Isko laga dala to life jhingalala) or a set top box, thanks to my parents who think since 10th is a board class, i need to study hard and that TV will distract me. I turned on the TV yesterday, with my mind made up to bear it for atleast an hour and found nothing to watch except sodden channels like DD national, zoom (isko dekho), a couple of music channels, news channels of all sorts and the south indian channels in languages i don't understand. I tried to entertain myself by watching TV-5 for a while but too much french gets to my head, so i changed the channel even though i was watching a cartoon, Papyrus. Lok sabha was no better, political talk does not entertain me at all. In desperation i flipped channels, hoping to find something watchable, even though our french book advises us not to (Ne pas Zapper). The music channels were airing skimpily clad girls who were updating you with the filmy news, how shahid and kareena broke up, etc. etc. DD channel was showing a black and white movie, and F-tv was not to my choice, so i tried to find some news on the pakistan issue, but unfortunately, all the news channels were showing the shittiest news ever known. The breaking news was that shahrukh came to Nach Baliye, some channels were comparing Saawariya and OSO and others were occupied with selling sauna belts, and showing sweaty stomachs along side. I tried watching the interview of some (apparent) celebrity, but they kept taking "short" breaks. Since i had nothing else to watch, i kept watching the ads, and surprisingly,were more entertaining than anything i had encountered on TV for a while. My personal favourites are the humorous ads, like the happy dent white ads involving the guy with sucky english and the cows and the people with such shiny teeth that they give off light like a bulb. I like the bingo chips ads, chloro mint ads and the one ad about the stupid boss called Hari sadu. Its nice to see how even small things like ads are getting creative and catchy. They know what people want to see, and will bear watching. Known celebrities just saying the name of your brand is out. A tang of good humour and a catchy tag line is enough to ensure people will watch it once and remember. Except sometimes, these people get too...Umm... Bold. I remember, on the way to school, the bus stopped on a red light, and suddenly all the kiddos in front got excited and started peeking out. I wondered what is up, and looked out myself. What i saw was a large hoarding of a woman in a bra, endorsing , you guessed it,...bras. Below, was written:
"size does matter".

Updates

Here's an update on "wassup" nowadays...
1) I just might be going for GYLC (YEAH!!!... Sorry for the caps)
2) I went to help out in the maths crusade, 2nd day. It wasn't much of a crusade, and was actually a bit boring. But i liked my job of sitting on the stage and ringing the bell to signal that time's up for the presentation. People who had been speaking with confidence jump at its sound and stammer. I like being mean.
3) i added "the black magician" to my list of best books. Its Amazing!! The first two books of the trilogy are ok, but the third is Awesome!
I love it. I love it. I love it.
4) Went for the suckiest play i've ever seen- sadak ke us paar. Its Pathetic. I warn all to stay away.
5) Saawariya and OSO were released and critics declared the latter better (as i had predicted). The news channels are going bonkers over them, and have declared that OSO won, as if they were participating in a boxing match.
6) I added anuj to my list of "weirdest people of all times". Anuj, don't take it personally, and don't mind... Adi, Rakhi Sawant and Karan Johar are there too.
7) discovered Mohit has super-human strength (so to say) and a pea-sized brain, when he threw a chair across the class.
8) The school finally asked us to wear the winter uniform, just before a couple of thin sixthies would have passed out because of cold in their shorts and supplied us with entertainment. (tch tch *shake head*)
9) I've finally understood that the school eats up our holidays for the fun of it and not because some anti-kids organisation pays them to do so.
10) Discovered that ties look better open and draped across the shoulders like a scarf or knotted like a scare than the normal, un-creative way.
11) Realised people think you crazy, and even as a kalank on society he you decide not to burst crackers this diwali.
12) Pakistan is in big, big trouble, and you're a buffoon if you don't know why.

Oh yeah, by the way,
Heppi Diwali!!!!!!!

Clearing

Firstly, if anyone was wondering, the sign-in thing was put on the blog for a short period of time because of adi. Well, by not me actually, but by sam, who wanted to take adi's challenge (see: the list of comments on the post, "perception changes everything").I frankly don't care about adi a lot to try to stop him. If i wanted, i could have deleted all his comments, but i didn't. Wondering what the point is? I just wanted ppl to know that its sam who bothered so much about adi, not me. I don't give a damn about him. Everyone, get that into your head.

Spirit Of Cricket, huh?

For Indians, cricket is a passion.Its strange that people get so carried away by just a game, in which they might not even be playing,that they begin to do weird things. Things which they might not even mean. The past few matches against Australia have been an example of this. The racial taunting of Andrew symonds has left me quite disappointed. People were actually been photographed making monkey-like gestures,they abused him and made animal noises.
What is this? Is this the India that preaches secularism? Why are these people so set on destroying the spirit of game?
The game is seen as a symbol of tolerance, team spirit and diversity.
I mean,Symonds (fantastic player) was booed at when he went to receive the Man Of The Series award. The poor guy didn't even come to the media conference later. I'm happily surprised at how he handled himself. Any other person would have been quite furious and have done some thing to get back. These people were all adults, yet they could not behave sensibly.They were guests in our country, and how amazingly we treated them...(wow. ME, 15-year-old ME, preaching).
The racial aspect of this taunting was being denied earlier by the Indian authorities. But in the last match, they could not ignore it. Thankfully, they evicted some of the trouble makers. Indians have anyway never been known as polite, and now, this is further demolishing India's image internationally. What is symonds fault? That he plays well? Or that the Indian team can't beat them? That he's better than some of our players?
Apparently, some Aussi youths are planning to get back at the Indians (read: the Indian team) in the same way when they come to tour Australia. I don't think they'd succeed as the Australians don't hesitate to enforce their laws unlike the Indians who prefer to turn the blind eye until forced to do something.
I actually won't mind a lot he they do that. Some of the players themselves behave quite childishly. Take Sreesanth for eg. He taunts, screams and makes some rather unappealing gestures while in the field. He's aggressive and stupid. When asked (after the 20-20 world cup was over) about how being aggressive had become his identity and if he'd continue yelling his guts out (this is not in direct speech) I was irritated by is reply. He said that there was more good coming out of it than bad (don't ask me how) and that he'd continue doing it. He didn't regret being fined. He said that the loss was only of money and that the gain was more (of what?).
What the hell, man... Its just a game...

Perception changes everything

Perception: 1 a:result of perceiving: observation b:a mental image: concept 2:a capacity for comprehension
(courtesy webster)
Perception is a very amazing thing. Its basically how you see things. Everyone sees the same thing but their mind perceives it differently. I dont only mean the glass-half-full-half-empty thing, it also plays an important part in more complex things. You must have noticed it yourself, how people can see one piece of art as different things etc. etc.
Perception is damn important in things like classification of things (no,this is NOT chem). For eg, my french paper had an article that talked about how scientists are not counting pluto as a planet anymore. This got of thinking, who said what a planet should be like? We didn't get stones from god with rules for calling something a planet, did we? Its all how we think a planet should be, how we observed all the planets an supposed all of them should be.
In the same way, scientists suppose that a planet should be like earth to have life. Thats what they perceive after seeing earth, their only example. But, i dont agree. Maybe there are other conditions for life to exist. Maybe organisms on other planets live on a different gas, have different type of sense organs and can live only in high temperatures.
Ok. I am getting carried away.
But perception does change everything, even personalities. Inferiority complex is when a person perceives himself inferior, thinks lowly of himself (a person can have one even he doesn't know/accept it). Some people think of themselves as being fat, no matter what you say(yes, sam, refering to you). The psychological ink-blot test is based on perception and reveals a lot about how a person thinks.

Its basically about how the same thing looks different to different people. Not how our eyes view it, but how our mind does. This is all shaped by how we are brought up, how we are made to think and what things influence us. Like, a person brought up in a conservative family will be all giggly when talking about sex as compared to a person who is used to talking about it freely.
Its also depends on how receptive we are, how open we are to new things. The more we see, the more ideas we have, the more angles we can see something from. But, it doesn't help he you look at something with a fixed mindset.
All this is what I think and That's perception for you.

Amazing consequences of being sick before french exam

Wow. I've got a cold. Cool, huh? And that also just before the french exam, which i anyway dont study for, and now i've got a fair reason to snore than to study. The worst part is, its not like in english, that i dont study, but still end up getting in 80's. I study for french to get 70!
I dont know why i took french, maybe i had lost my mind. You get nice marks in hindi easily, but it isnt about marks always, is it? I never was good in french. Actually, i never tried to be. I still have a vague memory of how in 5th, we were to write about our family. Not being too fond of my brother then, i wanted to write some thing like,"he's dumb". Not being good at using the dictionary, i actually wrote, "Il est une âne". The french teacher had her own little laugh at this,me calling my brother a female donkey.
I also remember a french test in fifth. There was a question in which the only word i recognised was "nurse". I started to write a dialogue from me to the nurse telling her that i was going to the hospital and asking if she would like to come with me (god knows why and how i was writing that. I couldnt even conjugate etre properly). Later, when revising, i squinted at the question and it slowly began to make sense. It was actually asking what a nurse does or some thing like that. So you get the idea how brain-less i can be in terms of français. I actually bothered to learn the conjugation of etre in 7th!
I think i should go sleep.... Fever and all, you know....Sure, I'll study french. Maybe...
Oh yeah, and the stupid doctor thinks i look anemic!! Well, more of a reason to sleep....
