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.

Aaj bahut ajeeb din hai.

Ok. Today is totally weird.
All of a sudden, ok, so maybe not THAT suddenly, in the AVH, this guy told me that this other guy has a crush on me.
Then, I go out of the AVH, my friend suddenly tells some other guy that she had a crush on him.
Both the things happened in the last perod today, and my reaction to both was "WHAT??!!"

For the first,cause it doesn't seem like the guy likes me(lets call him A). But then the guy who told me about it(lets call him B) seemed pretty sincere and wouldn't lie for no reason. And yeah, he told me "Jab dekho, to pata chalta hai."
Well......
Maybe that could be. Its pretty apparent to us girls when a another girl likes a guy, cause of the way she behaves, but the guys doon't get a clue. It could be the same for me.
Any ways, I've told B that I'll kill him if he was lying.

For the 2nd, I was surprised cause i thought she'll never tell him.


I'm shaken.

Haiku

I'm doing this vela post though i have better things to blog about, just because irritating adi is fun.

Here's some haiku on him (yes, i used a syllable counter).

I hate Aditya
Why does he like me so much??
He looks horrible

I love it. Its a masterpiece.

next:

Snow is nice panda
save pandas from predators
and from Aditya


And ya, whats the point of haiku anyways??
It doesn't rhyme, you have to count the stupid syllables and it sounds horrible.
Why did anyone invent it???
*sheesh*

I am a Kriminal

So, our school teachers suggested we read our almanac. Our CT actually gave us 15 min to read it. I was getting dead bored, so i decided to flip through it and surprsingly, i came upon a very interesting quiz called "Do the right thing, Say the right thing." I scored 21 out of 24 on it.

OK, OK, it isn't a quiz, its the list of rules which we SHOULDN'T break.
Wow. i scored 21/24!!!
I'm a criminal!!!

Here is the list.

1. Disfiguring or damaging school property. Untidy and unruly behaviour in class. - well, DUH i've broken this rule. I've scratched my name on tables, i swore at people and i've thrown pieces of paper on the floor. Ha!

2. Bunking classes and monday tests- you aren't a true dipsite if you haven't bunked.

3. Bunking school- Na, thats one i haven't done.

4. Sloganeering and signature campaigns.- I DID sign for the signature campaign for "SAVE THE TIGER". I dunno if its against the rules.

5. Bringing cell phones to school- come on, everyone who has a cell phone does.

6. Use of violence in any form- I've slapped jangu.

7. Scribbling or writing anything on shirts or uniform- Lemme think, i think i've scribbled "kick me" and "420" on lots of people's shirts. umm..yea, i have.

8. Using abusive language- Who the fuck said i've broken this one???

9. Not wearing the proper school uniform- yea, i've worn winter shirts during summer time, exchanged green for white shirts and even worn jeans.

10. assembling or going to PPC- I haven't ASSEMBLED, but i've gone there.

11. Bringing, wearing, buying, selling or possesing any kind of gament with slogans written on them- I've brought, worn, bought and possessed (still possess actualy,) them, but not sold.
*clicks tongue* no way that i'd do such a hideous thing.

12. Damaging, scribbling or tearing pages from library, text or exercise books- not library, but i've torn lotsa pages from my exercise books. i mean, who hasn't!!!

13. Brining sharp and injury causing articles such as knives, etc- i got my swiss army knife for 2 yrs till an asshole stole it.

14. Bringing books, CD's etc. not relevent to their course work- yada, yada, who the hell made this rule anyways????

15. Bringing costly articles (like expensive watches, cameras, fountain pens , i pods)- FOUNTAIN PENS????? are u kidding me???

16. Bullying or using any from of violence against a fellow student- refer to rule #6
17. Smoking, gambling, drinking or using drugs- No Way.

18. Possession of crackers or bursting crackers in school -Na, i'm a good girl.

19. Throwing of colour on one another within or near the school premises- I've dropped ink on someone.

20. Bringing more than Rs. 30/- for canteen purposes- Rs 30/- does NOT feed 20-30 hungry teens yelling for a treat on your birthday.

21. a) Entering school without uniform even after school hours- think class assembly.
b) Bringing civil clothes at any point of time- read rule # 21 a)

22. Late arrival in classes- everyday matter.

24. Misconduct, indiscipline and misbehaviour in school transport- huh???



How much do you score??? Anyone who beats me gets a treat!!!
And yeah, who the hell made these stupid rules????

Dumb things I thought and did when i was a kid

All of us,thought and did stupid things when we were kids. Here's a list of mine. No criticism allowed.


#1 I believed that Indians got indipendence by beating the crap otta the British and killin' 'em all. No idea where i got the idea from- But i freaked out one day, when i discovered that Brits lived in England. I concluded that other Indians didin't know about it, cause if they did, they'd have killed the rest of the Brits too. Ad yeah, i DID want them to.


#2 I got into a hbit of asking my mom everyday, "dopahar ho rahi hai kya???/ is it afternoon????" I simply couldn't understand what timeof the day was "dopahar"/ afternoon.
Morning was the time you woke up. Evening was when the sun went down. Night was when you slept.
When the hell was afternoon?!?!?!


#3 A lot of planes pass over my house during th night. When we first shifted here, i thought that they were sounds made by dinosaurs who lived in the nearby park.


#4 I also believed for a long time that it became day and night because somebody changed the scene aroundour house, just like they do in plays.


#5 I thought the moon followed me.


#6 I was once very fascinated by how sometimes, it became sunny and shady abruptly. I didn't understand that it was just because clouds passed in front of the sun.
I once asked a senior in school (she was in 5th, i was in 3rd). She smiled and shook her head importantly, "tumhe badi classes mein pata chalega!!"


#7 I tried to smuggle a stray puppy into the house.
My parents (duh) found out (duh) and sent it back (duh).


#8 I thought my brother was an ass. I was wrong. My brother is brainless. Asses have brain (I mean the donkey vala ass, you pervert!!!)

Something cute and deep

"Real isn't how you're made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real, you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like beng wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real,most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things won't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

Searching

I've been having a couple of pretty similar dreams.


The last time I had similar dreams was 2-3 yrs ago when i kept dreaming about falling from high bulidings. They stopped a long time ago. Now i know that they symbolize insecurity, but i dunno what the dreams i'm having now mean.


I've been dreaming about searching.
And not finding.

I've had 3 till now.

In the first one, i was searching for this guy in a party.I was in a club or something and searching for that guy on the dance floor. I desperately tried to find him, prodding everyone in the crowd to ask. I was still searching, when a phone began to ring. i realised it was my phone and i hoped it was the guy calling. then i woke up to see that my phone was ringing in reality.


In the second one, i was in the library, apparenty in school, because i was worrying about the period ending, but it didn't look at all like our school library. I was searching for a book. I kept searching. And searching. And searching. I was running around everywhere, trying to find it. But then the bell rang and i woke up.


In the third one, i was in a metro station with my parents. We were waiting for a train. There, i was searchingfor tis type of chocolate/biscuit sorta thingy in the bakery there. I kept searching through these trays and trays of assorted pastries and things, trying to find it. I couldn't before the train came and i had to go.


Why the hell am i searching for things!?!??!
Why don't i get them!?!??!

*sob*

Irony

We got free batteries with our DVD player remote a few months back. They're of some strange company.
They're the first batteries i've seen who've 'leak-proof' written on them.
Ironically, they're also the first i've seen leaking.

Irritayting, once more.

I was in the bathroom. The house was empty. Mom had gone to the market. The maid had left a while ago.
And i, i was wet and soapy, and in the middle of my bath, when the phone rang.

Ring...
I thought about ignoring it. The person could call later.

Ring...
But what if it was one of my friends? I couldn't talk to them while i'm soaped up, but i could ask them to call later. Na, they'll call later themselves.

Ring....
What if its mom. She won't call unless its important. Maybe, i should get the phone. No, she'll call again later even if i don't.

Ring....
What if dad's calling? He's in mumbai. If he's calling, its bound to be important. But then again, he'll understand...

Ring...
SHIT.
What if its my grandpa? My smallest 4yr old cousin is sick in hospital. What if something has happened to him?!?!
That thought made me bolt. I grabbed a towel and jumped outta the bathroom.

COUSIN!!!! WAIT! I'm coming!!!


The phone had been ringing too long... What if grandpa cut the phone?

I ran and picked it up.
"hello?" i said fearfully.
Wait, what the hell am i saying? I should ask if he's ok. If he's alive. If he's serious. If he's out of hospital or not.

"hello madam?? Blahblahblahblah...."

huh? I drifted off as grandpa kept on blabbing, ignoring his words. Grandpa called me madam? Wait, that's not my grandpa!

"wait,what?"
"madam, do you want an insurance?"

Amazing. Fantastic. I ran from the bathroom for insurance.
Cool. What the *$@# ?!?!


"No thanks" now keep the bloody phone please.
"But ma'am.... Listen to the whole scheme..."

Thats it. That did it.

" You really enjoy calling people and torturing them, don't you? " i said in a sickly sweet voice.
"ma'am?"
"you're selling insurance, aren't you?"
"yes"
"GOOD! Get yourself one, cause the next time you call, i will personally hunt you down and kill you!" i snapped and slammed the phone.


Boy! That felt good! He deserved it after dragging me out of my bath. It made up for all the times these horrible insurance and credit care people called and tortured us.
Maybe it was mean, he was just doing his job, but it felt good. Damn good.
I hate these advertising people. They get your number from somewhere and make it a point to torture you by calling at the most inappropriate times.
Losers.
