my junior college-sies..and my frnd vinita

last few days of one's time in college are very special for various reasons....be it bcoz of the times when v had bunked college, been scolded by professors, thrown out of the class, caught peeking into someone else's paper, or simply being reminded that we r grown ups and not school kids anymore. and its especially very close to my heart bcoz i have been in sies for the past 5 years...

and this makes me want to rewind my life and go back to my 1st day of college...

the very 1st day when i entered college, and searched for my class, when i finally entered my classroom full of students, abt a 100 of them.when i sat in a bench and made frnds with my neighbours..wn i was gradually starting to experience college life...wn a gal named vinita cracked a joke from somewhere....and i turned arnd and gave her a smile...wn the same gal became my best frnd soon enough...and we started roaming arnd in the entire college, passing comments at people, breaking test tubes in the chemistry lab, laughing during the rat dissection lecture in the bio lab...from talking abt our crushes, gossiping abt everything that we could lay our hands on....to not caring abt the people around us and just simply enjoying each and every moment of the 2 years in college..from traditional day to sari day, from laughing and irritating others no end...to our bdays....everything was crazy... 

i had experienced some of the best days of my life during this time, wn we used to wait to come to college just to see our common crush, talk abt our day, keep looking out the window and not hear a single word taught by the professor, lie at the drop of a hat and give random reasons when we were in the defaulters' list. v had so many similarities, from being huge fans of backstreet boys, westlife and blue, to having the common traits of being a big chatterbox, gossip queen..we could blabber abt anything for hours, eat at anytime of the day, and anything for tht matter..also not to forget the discussions on mahesh tutorials professors and lectures...also the cute sir...(hope u remember vinita)..;)

but having said that, there were also times wn i hated her crushes and thought they looked aweful, and laughed at her choice,and she also did the same...also, wn she tried to impress one of her crushes, and wrong connection lag jata tha...loll..(remember vinita?)....

hindi lectures and chemistry lab keedas cant ever be forgotten by us...wn the professor had caught us having lunch and completing our journals, all in the same day..

wn once a professor had given me an assignment (to write an entire hindi chapter) as a punishment, and since that day both of us didnt sit for that lecture evn once, till the last day of college..from searching for someone in the chemistry lab to running away after being seen by that person...lol..

and wn finally the results were declared and we were clueless abt wt to do after 12th...

just the fact that im in touch with only vinita and none of my other frnds proves the fact that we r still the best of frnds...although others r there in orkut and my yahoo frnds' list...no one can ever make me miss my college days...although we dont meet much,(bcoz of vinita's busy schedules..hehe:))..im sure we will always be there for each other wn its needed...people come and go in ur life,but some special frnds stay with u forever..and vinita is one of them...and hope im one of them in vinita's life...

crack it and typeracer....

today was supposed to be my day wn i would be going for my rj hunt event..i.e radio jockey....but it turned out tht it got delayed, and tht we had nothing to do....so we went for sudoku( an event in which i had won the 1st prize last yr).it was a bit tough, and i had clearly no hopes of winning..it really made me feel bad...to be frank made me think at one point that i didnt deserve the prize last yr...but, there r always better ppl than u....i went on to the next event-crack it..but, we had to wait for it to begin...so instead, we thought we would go for another event...typeracer, which will test ur typing speed....so i gave this test just to pass my time....then we came back to crack it...wherein u r supposed to bring out a story out of some pictures given to u, and explain how it is related to management, and wt u can dipher from it..

so this event was really good, where me and my partner, supam explained everything well...next, we went for some stupid "corporate gyaan" quiz...which was bad bad bad....hehe...

so, now we still had to wait for the results, so i decided to register for some other events....meanwhile, i saw my name in the 2nd place for the crack it event. and also for the typeracer event..but, didnt get a prize for sudoku......

hmmmmm.....i must say it was a v good experience....i presented confidently, said all the things tht i wanted, prepared the story really well, and supam and my jodi was the best...:)....well, i got to know wt i can do, and it definitely increased my confidence...:)....

but, i didnt get the sudoku prize, something that i had expected in the morning, wn i came to college....but, got a prize in these 2 events, for which i had no preparation, no idea, something tht i just tried for timepass....

well, sometimes things do happen unexpectedly, u win some, and u lose some...but, it is important to enjoy the experience....just to c how it turns out, and if u r capable of something...today, wn i think back i can rewind and see meenakshi sitting in front of the computer yesterday, even thinking once that she wont go all the way to college......she was getting bored....

and she was irritated wn the rj hunt was delayed... but now i can realise that something good comes out of everything...u just need to go out there and do something...:) 

my cell..sony ericsson k700i

my dad has promised me a new cell phone if i get a distinction...needless to say, i am super happy, bcoz the cell tht i have rt now, though has a radio and a camera, is a v simple cell which il b too happy to get rid of and get a brand new one...which will have a good camera and good memory...but, just then i thought ...wt will hapn to my old cell?my sony ericsson k700i

tht cell which was with me from 14th april,2006...(i even rem the date..:)...tht shows how special it is for me..)

tht cell which was my biggest timepass, wn i was all alone while going to coll and had only radio for company, tht cell which looks really cute to me, evn though it is a simple one...

tht cell which shows ppl's pictures wn i get their msg or call...(which is a v cute thing acc to me, and sumthing tht is lacking in even sum of the new phones...)...

i rem the 1st time wn i got it, the excitement and expectations tht i had from my cell, since it was my 1st cell, which had a camera....and i remember the tons of pictures tht i had taken in the 1st week itself...

tht cell which evn though has a weak battery, works wn i switch it off, and then switch it on again...surprisingly, works for a much longer time....

the loads of pictures tht i have taken with it,the many cute msges tht i have in it...the notes tht i have saved in it...wt will happen to all tht, if i get a new cell?

well, i really hope tht i get a new cell..but wt i wanna say is tht im too attached to my cell, and it would b difficult to let go off tht cell, which helped me take pictures wn my digicam wasnt working, which helped me capture all the moments with my family wn i went somewhere...

so maybe ill just keep it with me always....after all, wt can be better than seeing a person's face wn you get their sms?specially wn u r waiting for it?:)....maybe evn my new cell wouldnt give me tht option....

You know you are in love when…..

A poem about love, a poem which i would love to dedicate to the person i love.....

A call isnt just a call,
U have never missed someone so much at all,
Roses get an altogether different meaning
You know you are in love when…..
In life, you start believing…

You anxiously wait for that one sms
Just to see that person’s name on your mobile…
You don’t care about the world,
You just want that sms, even if it had come before, just a little while…..
You know you are in love when…..
Even a simple message makes your life worth while…

The whole day seems incomplete,
When u don’t hear from them.
There are so many things already said,
But still u have so many words to say….
You know you are in love when…..
Just their voice is enough to make ur day….

All the moments spent together,
All the moments spent apart,
All the silly fights and arguments….
Without them, life seems so boring
You know you are in love when…..
U never wanna let them go….

You look forward to meeting them
And you know they are the ones who care,
Life seems exciting and wonderful.
There are so many things to share.
You know you are in love when…..
You know someone special is there….

So many things happen each day,
You wish you could just rewind
And go back to all the days, one by one
Even if you have all the details in your mind….
When same things seem different
And different things seem alike…
You know you are in love when…..
Love isn’t just love, it becomes your life…..

The time when I was so happy for a call

The first time you called to say ‘Hi!’

The time when I was so happy for a call

We talked for such a long time

It felt like eternity

I will always remember this day

The time when I was so happy for a call

 

We started chatting everyday

We had so much to share

We used to talk about friends, family and all

You became my best friend

Someone with whom I could share everything

All thanks to that time

The time when I was so happy for a call

 

Soon, we started meeting more

Everything was perfect for me

We laughed, cried, enjoyed

I had found the love of my life

Through the small things, you showed me

How beautiful life could be

What would have happened if not for that time?

The time when I was so happy for a call

 

You were everything I ever wanted,

You were my life, my only true friend

You were with me when the sun was shining, even when the sky was gray

Then what happened today that you suddenly walked away?

 

The laughter turned into tears,

Slowly everything changed

Things were no more perfect

The problems just increased each day

My life was never this way

 

Then you called again, said ‘Hi!’

Happiness now seemed alien to me

With still a ray of hope, I prayed to God

Somehow wanted all the things back

But, I guess, it was never meant to be

Maybe this was the last ‘goodbye’

All good things were over, big and small

Now, the moment is just in my mind

Wish I could rewind,

And go to the time when I was so happy for a call.

ppl who speak less, or ppl who dont speak unnecessarily?

since we were born, we have had so many relationships... Be it with our parents, our relatives, uncles, aunts, cousins, or the frnds that we make all through our lives, we have always seen relationships around us..we can very well say that these relationships make us the persons that we are, define the way v behave...but we cant really say that each relationship is perfect...there are some people who feel closer to their family rather than frnds, and there are some who are able to open up to their frnds more...i.e. we all tend to depend on someone on a day-to day basis....

and then there are some who feel content with themselves, people who prefer to keep their thoughts to themselves, ppl who prefer to communicate with themselves, analyse people, their behaviour, the situation around them..who speak only wn they think is the right time, they dont unnecessarily blabber...we call them "introverts"...

we tend to categorise them as boring, as people having an "attitude", but what we ignore or fail to see is that they are one of the most intelligent people, people who dont need anybody else in their lives to make it beautiful (unlike us)....for them, life is beautiful, and contradictory to wt we think, they can talk abt many many things, infact anything under the sky, and have an opinion on almost every topic...u just need to be their good frnd to know wt a gem of a person they r.....

one plus point is that introverts r gr8 listeners, they will listen to every problem of urs, and their silence itself can give u a lot of support....they know wn to speak, wt to speak, and have a whole of lot of stuff going on inside their minds....this makes them superior to ppl who speak unnecessarily, say the wrong things at the wrong time....

they can be good observers, really smart, and no-nonsense kind of ppl....though im not generalising this topic (all this is through my personal experience as a frnd) wts important to notice is that, we should never jump to any conclusions just bcoz ppl r not the way v r or the way v expect them to be....(excessively talking and doing bakwaas)...introverts can make excellent frnds, listen to us (bcoz as v know, ppl who talk more, listen less) and can give us really good advice...

but having said that, im not saying relationships are not important for them..infact they r the most loyal frnds, will always help u when needed, and can be very good with secrets....u can depend on them without any worries...

but finally, the most beautiful thing abt them is that unlike us, they dont need any person for support, they dont crib about life the way v do....r happy with life... bcoz afterall, the most important thing in life is happiness, and this is where v can learn a thing or two from them...

one of those strange feelings..

today, my morning started as usual with me waking up at 10...i had a feeling that i wouldnt b having college...had heard so much abt the blasts, that i had assumed that there wud b a total bandh in mumbai..but, i was wrong and was forced to get out of the bed and get ready for college....and when i was all set to get out of my house, i didnt have any feeling of a fear as to wt would happen during the day..

anyway, i finished my work, enjoyed with my frnds in the canteen and then decided to go back home...but, just as we were abt to leave, we got the news that firing has started at cst station, and needless to say v wer a bit tensed..could definitely not call it fear though...

all the professors and students started getting out of college, and it was high time that evn v went home...all along, i was constantly in touch with my dad, with whom i was gonna go home....and my frnds wer with me throughout....v waited for the train, which as usual was late, and as was expected, not  evn a single train showed up for 20 minutes, so we thought bus is the next best option...or a rickshaw....finally, got into one(which was jam-packed) and ppl wer sumhow waiting to get home...i could see sum worried faces, ppl talking to their relatives on phone, some ppl discussing abt the taj and oberoi, some adding to the topic of conversation(with wtever they knew)....i could start feeling tension arnd....and just wn i was talking to my dad, one of my frnds told me tht his father was in cst, where everyone was insde a bldng..1 little flicker of tension....."hope his dad is ok"....and one more frnd's dad was in colaba....the very place where yesterday al the action was hapng...

just wn u hear tht  sum1 is in trouble, u tend to make tht person feel "everything will b over, its ok...." but its wn the same tragedy affects us, that we realise how serious and dangerous it is..v always tell ppl to b "optimistic"...but can v be optimistic wn sumthing bad hapns to us?wn sum tragedy strikes us, and we r expected to b ok and optimistic? 

i know i didnt feel any kind of a fear the entire day, but iam now sure what fear would actually mean....and i wish i dont ever get to feel it....
