Another Mortal Life

"The biggest mistake of my life was..."
"Ha ha.. ha.. ha"
"ahhaha. haha. ha.."
"hmm.. so, the biggest mistake of your life was...?"
"Ha ha haha.. hmm"
"Oh :|"

"You know, life could be simple too."
"I know. You have been a bit too complex for me."
"????"
"Nothing."

"If we didn't have common friends, we would've been the best ones."

H: "To write a poem extempore...."
A1: "Your vagueness should be exemplary.

A poem is what people don't understand"
P2: "It's the poet's respite from world superficial and bland.

A poem is something you don't converse like."
V: "A poem is a conversationalist's last like.

A poem is the words introverts couldn't speak"
P1: "Why do I feel like advising you to see a shrink?"

TI: "How about my treat? It's long due!"

P4: "i told u, catch mee in a good mood smtime in the insti...but u r so keen on igboring me if u see me in the insti wat can i do"

TI: "don't say I ignored you! I saw an european unseen before, crossing me on a road, and by the time it occurred to me that she could be you, we were 10mtrs apart! And it was only once. Moreover, that didn't seem 2 b a nice situation for introductions."

Vibhav: "*An European Unseen Before*

Once in the insti while crossing roads,
I saw an European unseen before.
Alas! I couldn't recognize at once, but
I certainly didn't mean to ignore.

10 meters had already passed, and
for intros it wasn't a nice situation,
What I didn't know was that later on,
I'll be bashed with this allegation.

Allegedly, I am keen on igboring,
Indeed, these European ways are neat,
She swerved away with a vengeance on me,
when all I claimed was a treat."

P4: "Bad one for an excuse
Cause howmuchever you may muse
This excuse does not amuse.

For I know for sure that
At least one more chance you've had
Yet you've seen thru me, am I a rat? :P

The vengeance dude you deserve
Treat or not, the judgement we reserve."

Vik: "After an year of igboring you,
And after a dozen instances of being ignored
(Sorry, the number includes a few ambiguous ones
that I shouldn't actually record)
I've got only this to say
That I continue to be an introvert.
But may I so be not taken as
Someone rude, arch or curt :) "

"I don't like people. They suck- in fact, they are the only thing on the planet that Can. Figuratively. Literally. Terribly."
"So how does it feel being one of them?"
"Terrible."
***

"Go, ask for a recheck. This your answer is so not-incorrect, don't you see?"
"I know, P1"
"So, why not..?"
"Would it matter, I mean in the long run, that who scored highest in the mid term exam of class 6?"
"It will."
***

"Congrats! 50 outa 50! wow!"
"Thanks, A1! Well, our mathematics teacher and his terrible mathematics"
"What happened?"
"I didn't even attempt a 5-mark question, and he, thinking he didn't get to put a cross anywhere, awarded me 50/50!"
"Hmm, good for you!"
"Gotta get it corrected."
"There you are, again! You know what they call people like you?"
"Freak?"
***

"I like your integrated way of speaking"
"No M, I don't have that, not anymore."
***

"Meet the prof yaar, one more mark and your grade would go up"
"I won't"
"Why?"
"I never did."
***

"Pseud."
***

"Today, if I step into this room, I would have all my pride lost, for ever."
"You better do, you really have a shitty excess of it"
***

"You digress well."
***

"That one day changed my life; though, for the better"
"If you remember that, then I fear it only made your life worse."

Chand alfaaz dil se aise bhi nikalte hain kabhi kabhi..
Na siyaahi jinke saath chale, na kaagaz jinhe basera de.

This month has been an altogether new tryst with the campus. Apart from its dog(s) having got quite affectionate, and its bike(s) flipping me from one to another, and yeah, its lift(s) holding me in passionately when the majors were about to start etc etc...; it also has a certain T&P section I never had to deal with before this sem.

They lost/misplaced my Practical Training certificate again (Earlier, they had lost the one that reached them in July/Aug). Hail their generosity! Also, our department took good care of us too:

"The following three students will have to repeat their Prac T in summer 2008: 1... 2... 3.."

You said I crib too much. This is a small thing, right? and I can get it rectified soon. But why do I have to see that notice prominently displayed in the department for no fault of mine? Why does the onus of getting these shit of certificates be received at the insti lies with me?.. (when you want the companies to directly mail it to the insti)

And why does it happen twice? I mean, everybody is pardoned one mistake, except maybe the Khan of Chak De, but twice? If students can be told to repeat their training in summer 2008, why can't the T&P staff be penalised with a certain percentage of their salaries of summer 2007 for their utter negligence? Don't I talk fair enough?

And now when we've somehow managed to find the certificates (already approved by the head of T&P) in the bin that is T&P's office, we are not allowed to take them (or their photocopy) to the departmental authorities personally. It's three days now, and my dear department still hasn't received any communication from T&P:

"We will display colloquium grades on 10th. Let's see if we receive them by then.. :).. "

So it's we the students who have got to ensure a certain parcel reaches from a certain place in the insti to a certain other place in the insti, but without having any access to it! Even postmen would laugh at us.


PS: I think I can be a good masala-journalist, gossip columnist or like!
