Yesterday I undertook the biggest ever cleaning up of my room...
1) Found some 3 handkerchiefs, 2 undershirts, 3 pairs of socks, 3 pens, and much more. It saves me quite a few bucks you see!
2) Whoever told me the spider's web around the tube-light was shit is an ass. It was a real good mosquito trap. I was doing good without any all-out and blah for months, and today I had to buy a refill!
3) Dumped dozens of old notebooks glancing through the last few pages of each of them.
Here is what I was scribbling on the last page of a notebook after a prof lost his temper on the class and walked out..
Chaos prevails
Tragedy unravels
For the proxies unowned
Professor hails
everybody present as guilty.
Knowing none I
as a silent spectator see
the contest between
fear of fifty
and pride of one.
It's no poetry, I know, but reading it brought a certain time of college life alive. So it's good in some way.
4) Found this thing written on an old, little piece of paper..
"Why you, Arthur (Ashe), why you?"
"When I won Wimbledon, I didn't say "God, why me?".. so I shouldn't ask that about the bad things too."
And this song.. it made my day when I first heard it. It did the same again.."Kii poochde ho haal fakiraa.n da.... Asi nadiya vichhde neera.n da".
5) And there was this she'r I once wrote while traveling..
"Tere bas mein bhi yahaan kuchh nazar nahii aata
E khuda, tu to bas meri bebasi ka bahaana bhar hai"
And here is another addition to classroom compositions..
"On my silly jokes you laugh aloud
On the sillier ones too you smile
And your disgust on the silliest ones
You've always tried to hide.
Putting my ego aside now when I see
Must say, girl, you' been good to me."
Take my word- fuck computers, and make your notes with pen and paper. And don't go back to them too often.

1. biggest ever and thats all you found :)
2. the key is to clear the web but dont chase the spider away :) hardly takes a day or two for them to re fabricate the web
5. :)
happy diwali !!
happy diwali to you too :)
its true the only thing that makes cleaning the room worthwhile is the hope that some obscure scrap of paper or old notebook would bring about something funny/nostalgic/similar.
out of the context, i love being the first commenter on a blog post :D
Like the discovery and unearthing of an earlier civilization! :D Nostalgia, and a wish to go back for a while probably. Happy Diwali!
Thanks! And Happy Diwali to you too!
:) Sweet. Such is life.
1. Wow, and I thought I hold the world record for keeping the room dirty. I don't think I will find that much if I clean my room. Or maybe I will.. I should try cleaning just for a test
2. So you actually break even, do you? (referring to 1.)
3. How, how exactly were you a silent spectator and not among the 50 who were afraid?
4. So sad that so many ideas that come to my mind have already been stolen by someone or the other in the past :P. No, I didn't win Wimbledon (till now, at least :D) but the thought there is quite frequent for me as well .. and it is a huge satisfaction too
5. Khuda pe to khair aapki PhD hai, janaab... that she'r is toooooo good!
And the confession that follows is cute :D
Too bad, I can't motivate myself to write on paper. It must be fun.
I hate belated wishes but was a little too busy yesterday, and didn't want to write a one line comment on this absolutely brilliant post. So, a belated Happy Diwali. Hope you had fun :)
After reading this I think u should clean up ur room more often ;)
Good for u (u save few bucks) n good for this blog readers as well :D :P
What say??
Belated Diwali wishes for u as well. Hope u had a gr8 one. :)
I second Geetika... :D

1. Koi na, winning is not everything! ;)
2. Not quite..
3. Well, the rest of the class was first yr.. they couldn't have just dropped that course and added another- something that I could, in that first week of the sem.
4. Yes, a huge satisfaction indeed!
5. Kitni bemaani hai sochta huun tujhe ruswa karne ki meri koshish..
Sunkar mere she'ron ko jab muskurata hai tera banda koi.
Yeah, it's fun. try it some time :) And make sure your pen has ink :P :D
Thanks for such a wonderful comment! :)
[Geetika]
:D :D
But if I clean up the room even less frequently, I'd have to buy stuff.. which I'd be able to misplace over and above the already misplaced stuff, and would be able to save a larger sum later! You see, frequent withdrawals from a savings account are discouraged! :P
