Exams

The Thing. The dreaded thing. That thing. Yes, examination. It has this knack of bringing the best out of people. Pressure situations always does. A'int it? So, for the last fortnight or so I was undergoing this dreaded thing and  found myself and others in situations words can't describe. Here I am trying to describe the indescribable.
 - when 5 minutes after you get the question paper all you find in the examination hall are: jawdrops, awe struck gazes, whisperings, a frantic searching for pen and that guy in the corner showing certain selected finger at you (the one near the ring finger).
- you spend almost half an hour humming songs to yourselves and doing nothing else. On hindsight, i'm so thankful Dhanush didn't come up with the kolaveri thing then, else the half an hour limit would have extended to incomprehensible lengths of time .(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR12Z8f1Dh8&feature=aso)
- your first korean movie was on the evening of your last exam. Infact it was a great story. Worth it. A Moment to Remember (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428870/). Ironically enough I couldn't remember anything worthwhile during the exam next day.
- you finish reading as many as two to three novels during the course of the exam fortnight, whereas till a month ago, you had read just a single novel all through your life.
- you have your neighbours yelling at you from a distance that can be measured in vernier calipers because you where too loud while studying or in displaying frustration over the latest Afridi mishit in Sharjah.
  

 And after this, what are we treated with? 
Why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di? Awesome. Can't ask for anything better. Can Beti B be named Kolaveri? :P

Tweet Favs

For bona fide updates on frivolous gossip, read newspapers.

Nitin Gadkari walks into a bar. This was after he tried to enter a temple and got stuck at the door.

I joined Engineering when DMK was in power. Now worried it might be converted in to an MBBS programme.

Duh! Ramlal in Sholay was more macho than Rampal in Ra.One

Today is 08/10/11. A date with no apparent pattern. Such randomness may not happen again for 823 years. Or it may.

A blogpost means having to write a hundred really sensible tweets. Tough job.

Anna may end fast. He will surely. If he doesn't end fast.

I have an impression that the elephants in Mayawati's park are already in 'poll' position.

"....Track mein halki nami hai....uchhaal kuchh zyada rahne ki ummeed hai..."

Of Laziness

This past week I scaled heights of laziness that is rarely seen in a normal man's lifetime. Does that make me abnormal or extraordinary!?@!?
- Laziness is when your back starts to itch due to exposure to sun for more than 10 mins because the back is unfamiliar to natural phenomenon. This happens because your back is accustomed to the warmth and comfort of cushioned bed or even the cold marble floor!
-You are affected with acute laziness if you decide against switching off the TV just because the remote isn't working and the power switch is over 5feet away from you. The allowed displacement at a stretch when suffering from acute laziness is 4.5ft to be precise. Another case is when you watch DD LOKSABHA for an extended period of 45mins citing the same reason.
-When you decide against making omelet even when raw eggs, cut onions and chillies and even a hot tava is at your disposal, you are LAZY
-If the first thing you do after getting up in the morning is pull up the curtain of the front window and fall back to another long nap, you know that your just preserving your energies for the future!!
That's lazy me 3 years ago. Nothing Changes.
