This all started with the release of chetan bhagat's new novel 'THE 2 STATES"
Swasti:- Hello! wassup?
Pinki (grumpy):- What??
Swasti:- What were u doing??
Pinki(irritated):- Was taking my nap? been tired of all the cleaning work. why?? what happened??
Swasti:- Oh! i didn't know that. I will call you later. (sniff)
Pinki(alert):- Wait a minute!! you have got cold?? or are you crying??
Swasti:- I was crying.
Pinki(sympathy):- Why? what happened??
Swasti(Starts crying):- I have been reading chetan bhagat's new novel and it hit home (bawls out)
Pinki(startled and thinks ) If she is getting all bawled on this book i guess i will be crying on the pages literally then.
Its ok stop crying. Just don't worry ok?
Swasti:-when u read this book, try not to cry. ok?
Pinki(Worried) :- All right i will try my best now please dont cry.
Swasti:- Ok i won't. you go to sleep and don't worry.
Pinki(reassuring):- ok bye
Swasti:- bye
Pinki(thinking) i will try to avoid reading the book if i dont want my water buckets to fill.
Pinki's mum(yelling):-U missed out that cobweb in that corner!!
Pinki:- Oh man!! I am not cleaning it now for the life of it. I need some sleep after all that work you made me do today on pretext of Diwali cleaning. Lemme sleep!!
(turns around and sleep)
Pinki's mum:- Now whats wrong with her??
Bro:- Its your call. Since i cant help you people out in your work she is alone so she is all worked up. Give her a break for a while will you?? she has her own issues to solve.
Pinki's mum:- I'll make her clean that cobweb and make her kill the spider.
pinki(Under the covers):- As if i will.

Happy Diwali!!
One year down from last Diwali which was quite uncomfortable and teary for me. No thanks to my Mum. Same this time too. All she did was mention certain subjects i hate to even think about and she starts my circuits getting shocks and too much energy. So this time i indulged in working on some stuff to b prepared on Diwali. For instance a kalash i bought for 25 bucks and i had this sudden urge to paint it. And according to my desire i painted it with poster colours and it got the llok i wanted. Something different as i am in my family. But the intervention of my mum made me think on my choice twice. I had to borrow acryllic colours and paint it again. And the result was what i so not wanted. After some glittery effect i got it totally traditional one. All right i agree that it is traditional but the problem is many people go for traditional on special occassions. So Why not something different for change?? girls wear suits in different style and mainly on Diwali because its traditional, guys wear sherwanis and sometimes formal pant suits,because its formal but is a part of tradition these days.
Anyways, always following tradition makes some people like me feel that some minor changes will add to the enjoyment of the festivities. People, People , People!! Happy Diwali to all those people who are reading this. Enjoy !! :)

End of Happy Days
See i wrote before that my new beginnings are always bad ones. What else could b worst than landing up with a new principal of our college who almost banned jeans for girls in college and thanks to her i am proud of government intervention for the first time in my 23 years of short life. I thought i was going crazy with all this syllabus and friendship troubles but i can never compete with the madness of our college principal.
She gave the authority to clerks of administration office to check the bags of girls whenever they can. How dare she!! this gave free reigns to the employees to lay there foul hands on whatever they can touch. If they came across a student's mobile, it ended up with being sold and the money being split 50-50 among them. As if this was not enough they pawed on private objects brought by students. One incidence that stopped this was about a muslim girl's ornament being taken from her. She and her family had a nice meeting which made the doormen twitching hours later. The staff member returned the ornament through a third person and then the checking bag system was done with.
Now as if this torment was not enough the Principal made a rule that teachers will take only 2 days leave in a month. How stupid!! Teachers who are pursuing higher degree courses have to travel country for their research work. How could she expect them to be back in 2 days time??she is one hell of a b****.
well things were ok as far as this goes but she went beyond the limits when she slapped a girl for talking on mobile outside college premises. She was using the mobile outside not inside but still... she suspended the girl too. A whole class of political science girls is on verge of suspension for not turning up in the class at 9 Am. Well that's expected. And she followed a girl to a PCO across the street and suspended her for using its services. If she would have put the same amount of effort in getting the shop closed that sells Pan masalas and what not and a adda for roadside romeos and men who stalk girls it would have been commendable.
She has issues with the Department of english and students of the same department for God knows what reason. And not a single day passes out without having a sigh of relief that one more day gone without her plunging for our throats. I will be happier as soon as i leave this college. This last year has proved that it's the worst year of my life where my friendship and college life are concerned. I hope and wish that my love life shouldn't meet the same fate.

An Unforgettable rainy day!!
yes coming from me rainy day that too unforgettable is kind of miracle. Y? because i don't like rains. When i get drenched i get a headache, so my apprehensiveness for rains. Well as a kid i loved it but since i grew up out of my teens i never like it much giving me the claustrophobic feeling. I still can't find the reason though.
Well i got this rainy day on 11th August. Quite a nice day it was but i was locked up studying in my room for my Back paper. It was sunny and i had this bad idea of going out and get my stuff photocopied for no valid reason. I could always ask my dad or bro to get them done for me. But still i went out and got my work done. By the time i came out of the shop it was raining hard. So a nice thought of getting shelter in a friend's place came and i went there to find her home locked -___-**
What else could i ask for now. So had to walk out in rain which made my happy time go all depressive on me. And i let those depressive thoughts ride on my mind. What a bad beginning of the year and all that crap which i never thought i will indulge in. But in the end i ended up shivering,right outside my door with thoughts of weird and empty life and tears down my eyes that were thought of as rain drops by my mum.
(ended up getting worst headache too -_____-||)

Senior Year and Seniority
Who doesn't want to be a senior for once in their life and show some attitude for gaining such position?? A position gained after years of hard work in passing out the classes and finally being one of the seniors of college is one of the exhilarating experience for all those seniors who are "bad guys" . With the term "bad guys" I mean those people who indulge in unasked for activities such as - ragging the juniors, tearing down the benches, getting involved in college politics to the extent of using firearms and buttering up the influential people now and again. In short Bad guys are those who have the hand in getting us holidays for no reason such as public holiday at all. In my case I am ready to use the term "bad girls" who do the same in girls college where I study.
I forgot to mention that the experience and its influence is felt by the decent people too. But they are different from the others because they know how to avoid trouble and show the seniority to a certain extent. During my 4 years in my college I never came across a senior who tried to show bad seniority to me or my group for certain reasons such as-
1) My group stayed in background.
2) My group was influential enough to report the matter to the Chief Proctor of College because I knew her.
3) One of my friend's sister is the Lecturer in college.
4) The students in college never recognized each other as senior or junior since its difficult to point them out.
5) We always faked we are the seniors whenever someone tried to be shirty with us.
I have been meeting my classmates who are decent enough to give a damn to the fact that they are seniors and I met some today who are under the category of "bad girls". I have drawn a line to the extent of my mixing up with the bad girls group so our meeting is "Hi" and "Hello" and certain snatches of conversation which involved the words that I blush furiously to think of and embarrassed enough to mention here.
People might be reading and thinking that why am I wasting words when they already know what's what in their senior year, but you see I am just laying down the foundation of two experiences I have had with regard to seniority in past 3 days.
First of all you people should know that I look younger than I actually am which resulted in the first incidence. The whole thing started in the Staff Room of English department. The juniors were getting their forms signed by the Incharge and I was being rebuked by other teachers for my bad performance. The juniors thought I was their junior and tried to pick on me after i left the room. But unfortunately for them one of the teacher's turned up to ask the release date of Harry Potter(she is Harry Potter buff and i made my project under her supervision) and the juniors had to go away. The teacher understood the problem I might face told the girls that I was a senior and if they came to me with the hopes of getting some help in their subject I might help them if they asked decently. Now that made my day after a terrible start I had in staff room and was on point of blubbering out at home in my bathroom the first thing I might have done on reaching home. But the gobsmacked looks on their faces was enough for me to forget all about it.
The other incident took place today itself when I was standing in 10 feet long line of students while depositing our fees. We all worked hard (changing positions and relieving the aching foot and stuff You know people do while standing) for quarter an hour and I got the chance to submit my fees finally. But another girl turned up who was in my year and shoved her hand inside the window and that act was enough to flare one up. You see when a person is frustrated, patient and miserable all at once then no one should cross him/her. Well the juniors protested the girl's act of cutting the line and i told her off for showing her seniority somewhere else but not here since i was her age and the other stuff. But still the girl had her fees submitted and told them to shove their hands too if they have any problems and threatened the girls to see them outside the college. The girl didn't say anything to me because she knew me and she knows now that i will be out looking for her and will be giving her a piece of my mind. I told the juniors to remember my name (Thank Goodness I din't made them learn it since my name is memorable, all they had to do was remember Jagjit Singh) and if any kind of trouble is aroused they can approach me or my fellow students in a certain class and they are sure to get help.
There is a way of showing Seniority to the juniors and people should know it how to because their negligence in certain ways lead to bad impressions and bad relationships between seniors and juniors. Just considering the Juniors for once as humans or remembering the times when we were once juniors and how we might have looked in that position is no big deal, and changing the outlook of seniority for the sake of name of college and country will be a best step taken by the young generation. Ragging done in a decent way so as not to make a junior feel so haunted to commit suicide will never be appreciated. Though it is banned but some people still do it because their hands itch after getting the promotion in senior most year of the college. Well it can not be avoided but people can try on that part i guess....

Missing Someone
There are parents and grandparents almost in every family. Parents play their role in raising their kids and Grandparents play their role in raising their grand children. Grand parents give ethical education to the kids and Parents teach them about manners and behavior as expected of their children in modern society.
What happens if one doesn't have grand parents?? what if one of the parents or one of the grand parent is missing from one's life? It depends on how a person takes it. I never got the love of my grand fathers from both of my parent's side. Though i did had maternal grandmother whom i lost when i was in 7th grade. When i grew up i started feeling the missing link of my life. I missed having an old man in my life who could tell us more about the life of his times and life he lead as a boy. It's different to hear it from one's grandmother because the way of telling about one's life is different and telling about someone else's life is different.
I came across many old people in my life and started thinking of one couple as my grandparents and called them so. They never minded me calling them so. I liked to hear stories from them and about life in their times. But I still missed the presence of my original Grandparents. But one can't change the reality of life and has to face it time and again. Same goes for the people who have lost their parents or a parent in their life. They didn't get the same care and love as they could have in the presence of their lost ones. After all a child needs his mother and father both to raise him.
The grandparents are important in their own way. They guide and give the knowledge in the form of stories, either from their lives or from the old writers. They inspire kids in their own way. These old time thinkers are valuable in their own way as the thinkers of our modern times are. No matter what their thoughts are regarding the gradual changing modern world, but there are some grand parents who adjust according to the modernity and accept the changes as they are presented. As it is known by people out there, not all the people have the same thinking.

A Regular Family Incident-3
Ana:- Man!! I could n't sleep last night.
Priya:- Why so?
Ana:- I was studying last night and went to sleep at 12 as usual and then I felt hot while sleeping because mum switched off my fan as my parents are afraid of the fan coils being burned while using it with inverter.
Priya:- Then??
Ana:- Well I woke up at 3:15 and switched on my fan and slept again.
Priya:- So? u slept again? Then how come you could not sleep later on?
Ana:- Well, listen to me first...I did turn in after that but i dreamed that i was being chased by S.T. Coleridge who wrote Rime Of Ancient Mariner in our syllabus, and he wanted to kill me because i attempted his question in the previous paper and my answer was not up to his poetic fantasies.
Priya:- Hahahahahaha... poor you
Ana:- And the worst of this was i heard something in my room... someone saying something
Priya:- Huh? What? Who?
Ana:- Well I myself was so scared stiff that I got two things in my mind 1) someone's in my room 2) I am dreaming with my eyes open
