Having received several warnings about being hypertalkative in class, chemistry mam ordained me,sharath and viney that we shoud never sit together in class.
Today was my turn to sit separately and me being a backbencher till that moment, took a seat in the farthest corner of the class, almost hidden from the professor's view.
And she noticed me sitting alone, aloof from the class proceedings,amused in my world of fantasies.She ordered firmly that I should move to the first bench,which had an empty place thanks to some dutiful bunkin hostelite.
Thats when I realized these things :
1.Never even consider playing hangman with your first-bench mate, who will turnout to be an absolute firstbencher nerd, listening keenly to class. Unless you feel like playing it on the names of chemistry compounds !
2.Dont bother talking to your benchmate, as he ll give a timid,uninterested 'oh' when you start gossiping about some hot rumour on the rounds
3.Never even consider doodling in your note, as the professor will give alarming and fearful abrupt gazes at you or your note from the blue, that ll catch you off guard.And especially when youve got one multipurpose notebook for 8 subjects...just like me !
4.You cannot stare/ogle/admire/gaze at any person of the opposite sex, unless you want them to dismiss you as a cheap ogling moron. As your face should turn more than 90 degrees, people will be able to notice the quick changes in your head position while turning towards and away.
This doesnt necessarily mean Ive experienced all this ;) jai anchaneya
5.There is absolutely no chance of dozing off for a brief while, as fear pangs will cloud your mind.
6.Mobile Messaging huh? lol...out of question
And when I finally decided to listen to the class after abandoning all hopes of finding an alternative,I took one look at someone in the first bench taking down notes ferociously and I ultimately decided against listening to class, as I dont want to be entitled as the next nerd in line !

Techofes 08
Techofes 08,the most awaited cultural fest(atleast by me) turned out to be a really lucky one...but sadly for my opponents. With my college seniors dismissing the quiz competitions as a slimchance events for rookie first years as me and getting an OD proving to be really laborous lately and having lost four quiz finals straight, I was quite unsure if techofes will be any different.
At Vivek audi, I searched for the quizzing kingpins of chennai, hoping they hadnt turned up (unlikely but still). And when my gaze fell upon almost every guy who proved better than me in all the quizfinals earlier... OMG!
Qualifying now, I felt, was alomst impossible as the quizzing bigwigs were all present at the audi,intact...
General quiz bombed; qualified for the harrypotter finals as a reserve team ; and then qualified for the sports quiz finals, the event where i could see victory somewhere in the horizon...yeah faintly.
All the teams turned up for the harrypotter quiz grand finale, ruling out any possibility for getting my team on stage.
And there was this sports quiz, where everything went on smooth till the twenty pointer question, where my brain went on a vacation as we were the only team not to have got the answer right.Infact we never answered,clueless.
If someone present at the event is reading this, it was that Jimlaker-Anilkumble victims question.
My brains started working in the final written round, we made a good recovery, but it wasnt enough to see us thorugh.
If some competitor is reading this, we were the team who managed to answer liverpool outta nowhere but stupidly dint write down Everton !
Finished fifth, and my affair with the miserable hapless unfortuante wretched *that fourletter word*ing run of failure in finals continued...
The paramount prize money on stake overshadowed some changes in schedule ( but how did all the harrypotter finalists turn up promptly? )
There were some rumours of the events being fixed, but it turned out2 to be a healthy and clean competition throughout with close finishes. Help desk ppl were a bit irresponsible but the organisers were friendly enough to give me a certificate after I lost my participant card. And there was a splendid choreo night to cap a glorious cultural festival.
Failure is a stepping stone to success... So look towards a brighter future with a smile :) we shouldnt mourn over the failures, completely forget it and move on
Now, had I got that fuckin Jim-Laker question right, I wouldve won thirdplace... holy goddamn shit !
You know,sometimes proverbs just cant pacify us ;)

Proverbs - Bang Bang Bang !!
One-liner comments for common proverbs....
There is no substitute for hardwork
Now Mr.Hardwork is a Fullback or striker?
Rolling Stone gathers no m'a'ss
But Mike Jagger did
Pennywise and pound foolish
Yup, girlfriends and boyfriends respectively
Better late than never
And why doesnt my professor understand this?
A bird in hand is better than two in the bush
Esp when youve got a meaty turkey to the two little pigeons in the bush
A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle
It does..Uniqueness
A coward dies a thousand times before his death. The valiant tastes of death but once
Wait a minute. Isn't die a verb form of Death?
United we stand, divided we fall
And the Indian team is united only while falling
A jack of all trades is a master of none.
So India better stop their futile attempts on their scouting for an all-rounder
A penny saved is a penny earned
But the converse is not true
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Is someone fond of Veerappan
Actions speak better than words
Sreeshanth, you listening?
All's fair in love and war.
Emami effect?
Barking dogs seldom bite.
My college dogs dont even bark.
Blood is thicker than water.
Duh, me aint that bad in chemistry.
Empty vessel makes more noise
My dear Navjot Sidhu
Cleanliness is next to godliness
Not even in a dictionary
Don't fall before you're pushed.
CR!
Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
And say tata to your girlfriend
What goes up must come down
But the problem is that MIG 21s are coming down a bit too soon after take off!
Slow and steady wins the race.
But not Twenty20
Laughter is the best medicine
Pharmacies should be filled with comics, and koundamani wouldve been the best doc in the world
Love is blind
Which should explain Soundarya's "hey avan smart ah irukaan la" comment about vijaykanth in the movie thavasi.
Courtesy costs nothing.
Free stuff lacks quality :D
Clothes dont maketh a man
Ya, am old enough to know the actual process that goes into the making of a man !!!

The Real Boy
If Harry Potter is hailed as The Boy Who Lived, then
what about Mowgli of Jungle Book ?
Ponder.
what about Mowgli of Jungle Book ?
Ponder.
Of Fiction,Fantasy and Fables...
I sit back in my blue cushioned chair, with two protruding arms, offering no support to my constantly typing hands, as my mind is clouded by different problems of a eighteen year old. The current problem however is that I dont have any immediate-solution-demanding problem to tackle or being victimised or to be nailed and eventually overcoming it, thus achieving something...
Maybe perhaps probably I should consult Mr.Harry Potter, the boy who lived ( as if we are dead corpses) about what he does when he is all alone in his room other than having an affair with loneliness, no.12 Privet Drive... Too bad I dont have a cousin who is as stupid as Dudley and as a matter of fact there is no cousin who lives under my roof, and even above it.
It wouldve been great to have a brother in here with me, where we can turn Hardy Boys and solve mysteries adventurously in an utopian world, where everything goes wrong initially for us ( hardy boys) but strangely culminating with everything going right.
Or have some cousins like every Enid Blyton book's character has, and go seeking places offering mysteries, which had been somehow eluding all others before.
Or form a Secret Seven Society, with stupid passwords to enter our HQ( where noone else will bother to come in) , but there is no farm house here though.
Or form an investigating trio with fellow vetti mates, the Three Investigators and have Mr.Hitchcock to guide us out of problems, which were created by him in the first place.
Or have a *a prefix*friend in Nancy Drew, and help her solve mysteries with her cute friends.
Or gain the unearthly powers of an Animorph, to morph into a parrot ( now Deepika Padukone has a parrot in her bedroom right? )
Or like in some Goosebumps book, having the power to turn a werewolf during halloween and take revenge on the guy who had stolen my pencil box, or enter a toy factory, where I get locked up for a night and fight the 'dangerous' barbie dolls or learn how to fly, making the rival for a gal go jealous over it, lead him into trouble and have a 'happily forever' ending.
Or have fun with Mickey and Minnie in my garden, though my mom will not like the idea of having rats at home, and if I do, she will have to employ Tom, who is already having enough trouble getting kicked all over by Jerry.
Nor does my home need 'another' Goofy ;)
Or there shouldve been a Uncle Scrooge for me, thus enabling me to have a bath in dollars ( or pounds if Mickey comics is from Britain) and dimes.
Or have Donald and Daisy ducks, along with Hewey, Dewey and Louie for fun, but being a strict non-vegetarian, mmmm...second thoughts over that.
Or Kalavakkam should be modified completely to Riverdale, and stay all day at Uncle Pops with my Archie gang ( xpt Reggie) , flirting with Veronica and buying Juggie hamburgers to keep him away.
Or turn a hunter as Shikari Shambu and tackle wild situations with luck and ending up with undeserving glory.
Or have a funny servant like Suppandi, who will stand under the sweltering sun waiting for his sweat to be dried up like wet clothes !
But all this is unlikely to happen.
So I had resort to writing a blog and take away some of your time...Now thats an achievement !
