"College Life"

The title of this post is in quotes..It was my wing's favorite excuse-phrase,used after doing a questionable act..Second position was bagged by the phrase "Come On" (With lotsa O's in "On")..These were two axioms which laid the foundation pebble of our so called wing!

The group was an uncanny mix of non-nerds..Each had a knack or two..With complimentary contrasting knacks,each group meeting used to be a laughter marathon..Together we decibled the class off the charts..Character assassination and barbaric rules built our constitution..The only criterion of decision making was Majority - To hell with logic!..Early movers disadvantage was a secret known by a few..

Every act,every spoken word by every wing mate was counted,analyzed and memorized for possible future assassinations..Any self proclaim or an intelligent point was replied with a plain phrase - "Shut up" - You can't bring any good..

Academics was always considered as a topic of discussion,rarely as things to do..Our academic year had 2 semesters..Each semester had a main exam..Rest were internals,which rested in peace..The end exam was the event when we used to drool over xeroxes of notes..We followed the act of waking up each other during exams so that we have company when awake..

Attendance was a number and probability game..Its all about how many wing-mates have lower attendance than you..If even one of them is drowning below,its okay.The first class used to be at 9 am,followed by 3 more until 12 30.The vision used to be the 9 class, the purpose - 10 class,the aim - 11 class and result - 12 class..Sometimes the 2 axioms used to justify being late for the 11 class..After all, " Come Oooon","Its College Life".

Have you ever seen ten people attacking one plate of food?...triple rides on a scooty?...watched a movie sitting on the stairs in the theater?...broken a slab?...Well nothing to be proud of - you may say, but these were touted as achievements by Majority,hence all! Being brief this was the "Ten Of Us" from NHCE..

Yea,we were too lazy to name our wing properly,this name juss stuck to us coz we were ten in number…

PS : I feel privileged to be a part of the most outrageous,hilarious and crazy group ever at NHCE - Bangalore…

Words

Words - Souvenirs of an angel

Expression of love unbound

The more you say, The more you mess

Irrevocable damage it does..

The more you share,The more you smile

Words are indeed the best !!

Of touch, Of tear, succor and fear

It makes us feel subsit!

Words - The devil screams

My way of torture and pain

Words - The sharpest thorn in our life

It bruises our ego and smirk!

When words uttered to us are highly contextual..Why do we always take it in a way which does not mean happiness for us? Why do we always find it as a personal attack and become defensive by throwing it back? Why do we make our life a warfield? Why do we spend our entire life defending our ego? Why is it so important to us that every one around share our thoughts? Why do we smile relief when we "WIN" an argument? If you think you are wiser than the rest, wait till your grandchild proves you worng..Or maybe just grow old and die so that the rest could moan and move on......

Family n Friends

FAMILY is something that your born into..They watch you as you take your first step, as you say your first word, as you evolve into an adult, as u change....They are with you in almost every stage of your life...You then think no one can understand you better! As you get out of this protective shell, you realize things are not as easy n comfortable as you thought they were...And once your out of this shell there is no escape...You are thrown into situations n scenarios which you would'nt have even dreamt of! Well, forget facing it you would have never even known some of them existed..That's when for the first time your fighting it out all alone...Its then that you discover the special n rare species, never encountered before - FRIENDS!!

Strangers at first...But who would have even guessed that the first smile or the first handshake would take you a long way...First you try it out the formal way with the "hello's" "thank you's" and "sorry's"...But then when you see how well you hit off you start opening up more...Leading to long chats, day outs, night outs, shopping, movies, silly fights, photo shoots, gossip talks and what not! ;) As time passes you discover and understand each other better and get really close.You begin to consider them as your family because they tend to become so..Hmmmm maybe its different..Different for the fact that they are not related by blood..But do we really care...NO!! And now when you are out fighting it all alone..When you are really exhausted and wish that life could be more easy..Then you look beside's you and find your friends smiling at you...Giving you those much needed stressbusters which then tempts you to smile back!!

Kudos to all my friends for painting my memories with the polychromatic shades of sublime exuberance! :)

Ever Wondered - Which one hurts more?

At times you are stuck on one of life's busy roads and all you want to do is stand there and look back...It might just be a highway buzzing with activity and there also may be a risk of being run down...But at times like these..Nothing really matters...An eerie of silence is all you hear....

Your enemy has stabbed you in the back because he did not have the guts to face you!!
Your friend has punched you in the face because he had every right and reason to!!

The scar on your back reminds you of the betrayal u have faced...But the memory of that punch brings back to you moments of a lost friendship..Both have caused immense pain...The knife might have left behind an ugly mark....The punch has'nt...
But in the journey of life, you will remember the punch a lot more often than the stab mainly because it strangely has only fond memories coming back with it...
Its true - you might never forget your enemies but your heart constantly searches for that one friend you lost along the way....Hoping that someday he might just turn up and ask you to come back...
And then you realise the stab has left a scar but you dont feel the pain anymore...But the punch,though silent and clean has left you with a terrible phantom pain - amputated for life!!

You are stuck on life's busy highway and all you can do is wish, wait and smile through the pain !!
