A day of surprises


A blog without school time remembrances would be incomplete. So here I present one charming memory I use to think and smile of. I've always cherished the days I'd spent with Devi and Sudha. So much fun, so many recollections.

One fine day, when we were at Std VII we decided to surprise each other the next day. I went home thinking hard about what to do. I wanted my surprise to be the best and at the same time I couldn't think of anything you know... we used to have regular HW and other stuff to do. I sat down to prepare two small bouquets each with a rose and a few leaves with plastic paper around it.[I love bouquets] and took them to school.

Sudha had surprised us with a card full of rare leaves and a quiz in it asking us to guess the trees which they belong to. A thoughtful surprise, wasn't it? I guessed a few leaves but nothing was right I think. Then it was Nakhs' turn, she didn't bring anything like us. I had no idea what she was going to do. I thought she forgot and she'll do it the next day. But she did surprise me. How? That day I had Poori for lunch, I hated pooris. I must've whined about it to her. My mom will spank me if I brought the lunchbox home uneaten. Anyway not bothering I skipped lunch. After lunch we had two periods and then a break. I went out for break and when I returned after the bell there was a note on my table saying, "We had eaten your lunch". Whoa! what a surprise!. Thank you both of you. Obviously my small bouquet was nothing in front of those surprises.

I wish I could time travel and see what all we had done.

    In the confines of our developed adult mind is safely preserved cherished moments caught up in the winds of time....which help us connect back to the child within all of us... though we are now not old enuf.. but wen we really age.... still these memories will nuture us frm within....

Quote Wonderment (I)

I'm totally sick of examinations and stuff. World's worst stressors are exams. I've always had this opinion right from my childhood. Hmmm... So to get a break I was running through my old memories and thoughts. One such is the admiration for this quote, "Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are." --Markus Zusak The quote itself is amazing. Reminds me of so many things. And note that Markus Zusak's wonderful book called 'The Book Thief' which was a good read. Laziness blocks me from writing more. ;)

Have you also ever wondered?

Have you also ever wondered?????.... What will happen if you pray God sincerely for something and another person prays Him sincerely for the opposite? How do the ice-creams jump by themselves and fall graciously in all the Amul ads? Why on earth does Vijay act in the same storyline even when he knows that he's the punchbag for the current youth? Why do the girls want to be of Zero-Size even though it looks the ugliest and physically so repulsive? How the hell we complete books of 700 pages in a single night before the exam, while we can't do that during the whole year?(be that a novel)   That during the examination days when you sleep you get early morning dreams in which too you'll be reading, so that you think that you're revising and all the same continuing to sleep until 8 and wake up to find a lump in your throat...[This terrible thing happens everytime with me ;)] P.S - The list may have a few additions in the near future.

2 States - Oh please, no!

I don't know why I chose to read '2 States' over 'The Subtle Knife'. My copy of 'Subtle Knife' is sleeping in the shelf. I wish I had finished it off instead of reading this one. M' Okay let me tell why this book was so insipid, [beware of spoilers hehe!] Possible reasons why I picked up this book: 1. Thought it would be a light-read. 2. It involved IIM A 3. Curiosity to know the speciality of Tamil girls 4. Heard it is a slapstick comedy [ which is not, in any way] Top reasons why I disliked it: 1. Cliched plot with stale scenes. [Ithellam nanga 'Poovellam Kettupar' la ye pathutomm, Chetan!!] 2. Making fun of South-Indians went overboard. [where Punjabis were never hurt in any dialogues, a very feeble mocking was clear] 3. Nothing less than a Bollywood drama, too filmy! 4. Totally predictable. 5. Ananya herself [there're are a multitude of reasons to hate her, which I won't enumerate here] 6. The feeling of reading his p...
