Sad Result, A long Bike Ride and turbulence!!!! A day of mixed emotions!!

Today was the birthday of my "mystery girl".......  it hardly makes a difference... but still.. somehow i thought today should be a bit special.

 but as murphy has stated... if something has to go wrong. it will!!! 

I got my results yesterday... and they were crappy... My friend had told my result so i went to college today to check them out again. Somehow u always want to see the result urself to believe it.

Therefore in the morning i went to college on my new bike!! That was the only nice part of the day.... lonnnnnnnnng bike ride...

I saw my result.. It read a shitty 6.2 only 0.2 greater than last sem. It was depressing and frankly speaking i felt very bad about it... more than wht i generally am...

Scoring low can become a habit i feel.. I mean it can happen due to bad luck... or u just lose confidence in ur abilities. No matter what u do.... u just dont score...  I always used to wonder why kids in my class are stuck on 60 odd % .. in school days haan... that time when i was scoring pretty decent marks it never struck my mind what they must be going through..

Probably now i realise what they must have felt. What they must have been going through....

Once u score less u become kind of an outcast... more than the people discriminating against u.... its U urself who discriminates... U dont feel proper to hang out with people who score marks much more than u...and u tend to find solace amongst people who score the same marks as u do .. people try to cheer u up.... they tell u set realistic targets and try to achieve them... even i had done such things in school... telling a 60% guy that set a target of 65 or 70%  and work towards it...

Thats bullshit u know..... coz it wont help....... it doesnt help... u end up scoring 60% only if u set ur sights on 70%........ if u believe in urselfgo for 90%... aim for the top..... i mean come on.... what the harm in doing so...... "if u aim for the stars..... u will reach the topmost peak"..... "U R the BEST UNLESS PROVEN OTHERWISE!!!"

most of the times it happens that u fall badly on the ground or are time and again proven that u are not the best...... but things happen and u have to move on

And if u have to move on u should move on with a positive intent...... JUST ASSUME THAT U R THE BEST!!!! 

This is the most confusing post i have written and i dont know wht it looks like... its just that i am taking out the day's frustration out here.

The Day I Created History....

I know the title is highly funky and BIG!! but today was special ..

The day started with a boring EPS lecture. After the lecture we went to play cricket at the 5 Gardens. This is becoming more of a routine these days. We play almost thrice a week. 
So we were playing a 6 over match and i went out to open our innings. We were batting first and so there wasnt any kind of pressure on my and Rahul, who was opening alongside me. We had a good steady start and our run rate was pretty healthy. We were scoring like 9-10 runs per over. In the third over, i committed a stupid mistake which resulted in Rahul running out. Afterwards Pranav joined me and we played the next two over pretty well. At the end of 5 overs our scorecard read 56 runs. It was a good score as it is.... But what followed next was something of miracle which everyone of us must have dreamed of. 

In the last over i hit 6 sixes!!!!!!! Not only that ... We scored 40 runs in that over!!!!!! 
(hey 6*6 is 36..... so how come 40???.... i will explain)

Ball one: It was a juicy half volley and i dispatched it over the mid-wicket boundry... First Six

Ball two: Similar ball..... this time it crossed the 5 gardens and went into a taxi...

Ball three: A low full toss.... blasted it!!!! \m/  18 runs from 3 deliveries..

Ball four: A DOT BALL!!!!! i swinged and missed....

then my friend bowled 3 wides!!!!! so now it was 21 runs from 4 balls..

Ball five: A full toss above waist height which was hit for a six !!!! 7 runs... 
   
So it was 28 runs from 4 balls!!!!

Ball 5 (again): A short pitched delivery . I pulled that one like a tennis shot. Surprisingly even   that went for a six!!! ( 34 from 5 balls)

Ball 6:  A simple short ball which was again pulled for a six... ( 40 runs from 6 balls!!!!)

i agree that the bowler was bowling pretty lame deliveries but 40 runs from 6 balls was like truly AWESOME!!!!!

we posted a huge total of 96 from 6 over ( 16 rpo!!!!!) 

It was indeed a memorable day for me...!!!!! I actually did something worth remembering!!!!! 

Cheers!!!!

PS: If u think what happened of the match.... we did win it :P

Mysterious girl!!!

Okay.. now i got a few compliments on my blog posts which were.... well how do i put it...a bit romantic in nature... so i decided to write another one of those. And this one being a personal experience... So here goes.

Now this year during our sports fest we had college from all over mumbai and maharastra coming to participate. Now there was this certain girl from XYZ college whom i had taken a liking to. I first time saw her playing throw ball... Now all the guys watch throwball primarily for checking out girls... but in reality its a pretty nice game with a lot of complicated rules, which take a year or two to understand fully.
Now many people taunt me and make a joke out of the fact that i watch throwball matches and cheer my college/ department for the same..... well lets just day that those guys are Gay... There is no simpler explanation to that.

So getting back to Miss Beautiful... She was a very nice girl... Pretty face, fair , decently tall, silky soft brownish hair, cute face, light brown eyes, cute face, she even had little dark circles but even those looked great on her.... really awesome girl.

My friends who were the event heads could get me her name but didn't give me her number.. for the sake of secrecy lets call her the "mystery girl"... So my bad friends didn't give me her number... but i really didn't want that..
i was just happy to see her play....

So after the tournament got over for them , she went and that was the last of it.. I just hope to see her next year.... But it was not to be that way

Apparently a friend of mine from first year knew that girl pretty well. She told me that after a fortnight... Wat crap!!!! ... Idiot girl!!!! ... but none the less i was happy to know about my mystery girl.
So this girl happened to be from a big shot family.. Doesn't matter. Days passed like that only...

Now in march ... Almost 2 months later our neighbouring college had their sports fest.... Again the beacon of hope lit up for me.. So it was yesterday when i was playing football in my college, when my friend from first year told me that my mystery girl was there at the tournament and that their college had a match against our college.. ( she thought i was at home... so she msgd me just to tease me.. But i was there in the college...) So i ran after my football practice and instead of going home i decided to go to my neighbouring college.. i was damn hungry but i didn't eat anything. That time my focus was elsewhere. I went to our back gate as it was the shortest way... but it was closed.. (Damn it!!) There was no time and i didn't want to go all the way to the main gate and the circle the entire college.. So i just climbed our wall and jumped over it..... All this just to see my mystery girl....

Damn it.. That's so uncharacteristic of me... But i was doing this.. I went into that college and called up my best friend (he studies in that college).. He greeted me at the main gate and he perfectly knew why i was there... So he took me directly to the throwball court... And there she was!!!! It was such a relief to see her again... I felt nice and light.... our college team knew why i was there and the captain and a few senior players taunted me too.. But i wasn't really listening...

She still looked the same... I mean your looks don't change in two months but still it happens many a times with us that our second look at the person doesn't create the same kind of magic as the first look does... Here the magic was still intact..

After that i went to eat something... Then the match took place and our college surprisingly lost the match.. That was saddening..

So now it was time to leave and i had asked my first year friend for an introduction with my mystery girl..
But yesterday i was in no mood for that.

The reason being every time you have a crush on someone because of their awesome looks and you try to get to know them... following cases occur
1) You talk to her and you discover that her voice is very weird... at times its too nasal or too weird which makes you go "eeeeeeeeee!!!!!!"
2) If you do get to know her better then she just becomes your good friend and then the crush vanishes and you feel that you are better off as friends.
3) Sometimes the girl like you as a brother.... ( your heart cries out Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!)
4) The girl is too girly and a sentimental, irrational fool which changes the nice impression you had about her...
* sound of glass shattering *
5) If you are really lucky enough then that crush can turn into a true love

In my case generally cases 2 and 3 take place.... 5th case never happen in my case

But this time i didn't want any of the above cases (except 5th) to take place.. i was just content in seeing that sweet girl expressing joy on winning.

On my way back home my first year Friend told me that my mystery girl was an year older to me(*again sound of glass shattering*) and again i felt, like i have felt on countless occasions, "Damn it!!! i should have been born an year earlier...

My friend asked me "now what???... you didn't even talk to her or wait for an intro... plus she is an year older to you..... now what? "
I didn't explain any of the above cases to her....

i just told her , " Its her ( my mystery girl's) bad luck :P " ( now that characteristic of me) ....

So i didn't find out more about my mystery girl and i let that thing end then and there... but i found out one reassuring thing about myself.... I am awesome!!!!

PS: the last line is inspired from how i met your mother... and i know that barney stinson wont have any objection to that... BTW my mystery girls looks a bit like robin.... :D

PPS: She is not older than me.... :P

Wasssssupp!!!!

Just a few days back i was watching WWE on TV. In that a 3rd generation wrestler names R Truth.... ( these guys have weird name i tell u.) so this wrestler was making his entry and we all know that these guys like to make a grand entrance. So there was this music playing in the background which was supposedly a song.... but what i interpreted was that this guy was just merely shouting "WASSUP"...... SO this is what inspired me to write this post

Whats up?? or (to make it look more funky)... Wassup??.... is a common form of greeting amongst the gen next (even i am a part of it). 

Now what does it exactly mean?? Whats up?? ...Well the most logically correct answer to this question would be sky, fan , Ceiling etc.... 

Jokes apart... this phrase actually means "whats up with u?" ... or in simple hindi "kya haal hai?"
now 99% people reply to this question with the same answer.... which is "nothing much" or "nm" or "nuin much".... all of which mean the same.

These days this "whats up?" has taken many different forms like 
1) Wassup (which i mentioned above)
2) ssup / sup (which can be easily interpreted as "state ur purpose" :P )
3)wazzzaaaaa ( this is just dumb... seriously)
4) wazzzzaaaap....

and many more combinations like these which can be easily formed by straining your throat and making it sound more and more rash..... or simply by increasing the number of "s" or "z".

Now i really think that the whole point of "wassup" has lost its meaning... i mean people say it just the way we say "hello" when we answer the phone... Its more mechanical... 

Some wannabies do say it in a polished  or a rowdy way just to get attention.. :P

It doesnt bother me but its something i think we all must have noticed and might even have given it a thought....... 


I just bothered putting it on my blog....

cheers!!!!!

regularly irregular.....

now i knew this would happen. the day i started blogging i knew that one time would come when i would not get time to update my blog in 2-3 weeks and then those 2-3 weeks would transform into 2-3 months.. It did happen so. this is my first post in the new year and so first of all i will wish everyone a very happy new year. ( I know its veryyy late )

Now for the past 2-3 months i was literally "working" in the college for our annual festivals. Everyone had a gala time and now life is back to normal with all of us sitting for lectures and supposedly all of us have started preparing for CAT. ( underline supposedly ). So i couldnt get time to write anything. 

Now u mite ask....But then why all of a sudden this urge to write?... i will explain this..... that is what this post is about..

I logged into my account today and i saw that amongst the blogs that i follow, many of my inactive friends had become very active. Even if the reason for that being online internship.... the bottom line is  that they are active. So i also felt that i should post something... atleast some thing...... so i have come up with this crap....

now i hope that this worst ever post of mine gives me a kick and i get back to some serious blogging once again.....

cheers!!

Identity Crisis

Now, we all go to college or must have gone to college or will go to college someday. In colleges there is a rule that u have to wear your identity card ( I-card). Now this is a case common to all the colleges. There is a certain section of student community who always refrains from doing so. You will always find these guys/girls never wearing their I card. U go and ask them why are they not wearing their Identity, then the wide range of replies that u get have been summed up by me in this post. Funny and Idiotic replies  I tell u.

 

REPLY NO.1) “WAT RE!! R U A KID TO WEAR AN I-CARD!!”… ya rite… only kids are to wear I cards or what. Big time industrialists, professors, bank managers , all of them wear I-cards because it gives u an identity. And why am I even explaining this reply. We all know how dumb and absurd this reply is. A kid??? When u say something like that, that shows who the Kid is…..

 

REPLY NO. 2) “ ITS SO BORING TO WEAR AN I-CARD!! ITS SOO UNCOOL!!”

Pheww!!!! Wearing your own identity is boring??? Are u so ashamed of your identity that you don’t want to wear something that has your name on it??? Poor fellows… I wonder what so shameful about their identity…. *sighs* God help them!! Please save them from humiliation which they might have to face as their “identity” is well…. controversial, if I may say..

 

REPLY NO.3) “GARAM HOTA HAI”

I mean what the F***!!! You wear proper clothes and usme garam nahi hota?? And a piece of ribbon is hanged around your neck and the makes u feel very hot and humid.. Phuleeeeeeeeeeej!!!! Come up with some better excuse.

 

REPLY NO.4) “SKIN IS SENSITIVE”

No trust me. I have heard this too. People say they get a rash on their skin. Now this is well….. u can accept this one, but still its too weird.

 

And like these there are many funny and idiotic answers that u get. “ feels nerdy to wear an i-card”, “UNCOOL” .. That is the biggest one..

 

I mean there is a fine on not wearing an i-card but this punishment hardly works. There should be some innovative punishment like these guys should be given a big slate or a board around their neck ( like the prisoners are given ) with their name written on it and they should be made to wear it for a week or so. Punishments like these will improve them.

 

And for all those who are “ashamed” of wearing their own name and the name of the institute in which they study/ work, well for all those I just have to say that these guys/girls face some real “Identity Crisis”…

the fun of teasing and being teased....

here are a few phases which all of us must have gone through in our school and college life. (Mann... all my posts have this line " u all must have experienced this" )
We  all like to tease our friends in our school and college life. The reasons for teasing are also varied. I mean it can be as dumb as ," you two are the monitors of the class so we are pairing u up." i had a lot of experience of this in my school life. Every year the girl's monitor used to change whereas i used to be the default boy's monitor. So every year i got teased by a new girl. Funny.... and weird. but thats the way things happen in school. As we slowly grow up, the reasons change. People tease u beacause you are on very good terms with that person. they will say , " hmmmmmmmmmmmm .... u two talk regularly on phone, eh?? ... hmmmmmm " ... funny again and in such cases u tend to smile within yourself which people conviniently intepret as "blushing".
Then there is a thing known as your eyes tell it all... i mean how can eyes speak.... and if they are capable of speaking, then they are capable of telling the truth as well as a lie... Now how come u know that i am not lying...  but it is true to a certain extent because even i use this phrase when i tease my frnds. ... hehe. 

then u can be teased because u find that girl/ guy attractive or rather u have a crush on that person... Now this is the most interesting of the lot... 
Imagine u have a crush on that person and then some of your close friends tease u just after u had a chat with that person....

You come to your friends after having a normal chat with the person u have a crush on ..... Your friends start , " hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ........ had  a nice chat, eh?? hmmmmmmm..." 
now this is the time u actually blush. 
and our mind is a wonderful device.. It can imagine things at the speed of light and once the imagination chain reaction is unleashed, there is no stopping it.... U quickly jump to the nice chat u had with that person , then u start thinking what if there happened something between you and that guy/girl, all of a sudden u feel elated, your friends are teasing you  but your mind is drifting elsewhere, you recollect the nice moments u have spent with that person , u imagine a few nice moments which could have been possible, had it not been for your idioitic friend who had interrupted u guys then; you suddenly start feeling nice and high.... like on cloud no 9. ; you probably know that there is nothing possible between you two but still you like all these thoughts because the make u feel nice and bring a smile on your face and make you forget all your worries for the time being:) .... this is the actual fun of being teased... 

teasing people is always fun, but is you are teased with someone nice then its more fun....!!!! 



cheers!!!!
