Musings-College life, creative spills, grumbles and the like

Hello there!
Here goes my first post in campus18...
Crazy college student, dreamer, believer of impossible things, a somewhat passionate writer, enjoyer of lolling around, bibliophile, alternatively childish and philosophical, etc. etc.

Hmm. (Waits to see if a catchy sentence makes a sudden appearance in her mind. It evades her with lightning speed.)
Don't worry, all. The catchy, witty and wise sentences shall follow. (Now, ain't I modest?)

Bye for now. Back soon, I promise.

Jayashree

Seriously, don’t read this. One, I’m highly frustrated as I write
this. Two, if you read this and don’t comment, I shall get more
frustrated. (And how shall I know if you’ve read it? I possess powers
you know not,ok? And no giggling allowed, too)
Here’s a list of things which drive me round the bend.

Windows’ ‘Are you sure?’ message. I am god dammed sure. I’m not mad to click on the delete button otherwise.


Orkut’s Bad, bad server. No donut for you.
I don’t want a donut. Please believe me. I hate them. I’d rather have chocolate chip cookies. Or cold coffee.
No donut for you?? (Repeats to increase the effect of incredulity.)


Getting disconnected when
1) You’ve almost finished downloading a HUGE file- 98% complete and…. Aaaargh.
2)
You’re chatting and your friend says mysteriously, ‘you know, I wanted
to tell you something….’ Poof. And she was just about to spill the
beans because she couldn’t keep it secret any longer. Surely, by the
time you have reconnected she’ll say, ‘never mind. I shouldn’t be
talking about all this anyway.’ Grrrr.
Who knows how many lives have
been destroyed forever this way? Imagine you’re quarelling with your
special someone (ahem, ahem) and he says in a fit of anger, ‘I never
want to talk to you again.’ And you’re about to clear things up with
one magical sentence. Snap. You’re signed out. Disconnected. The rest
is better left unsaid.


Continuous rains. Really, how
can it rain so much in Manipal? Please, give us a break sometimes so
that we can go out without gazing upwards every two minutes in
trepidation.
It is NOT nice to be grounded due to rains...


Finding
insects in your plate or drink. Ew! I seem to have an insectomagnetic
field around me. Don’t you dare laugh. They follow me everywhere!
Scene 1
I’d gone to a house to pay a social visit.
‘What do you want? Coffee?’, asked the hostess.
‘No,
just a glass of water.’ (Oh, I loathe badly made coffee. Wait. I can
write a whole post on that. Watch this space for more details.)
I
smiled and said what a lovely day it was indeed, the weather was just
right etc etc. and I proceed to lift the glass upto my dainty lips.
(James Bond music in the background.) Some external force seized me and
I looked into the glass. Ewwww, a dead insect with wings and many legs.
‘Um, there’s an insect in the water.’
‘Oh, I’m so so
sorry. Here, give it to me’ and she handed me another glass. Closing my
mind against the image of the floating insect, I drank the water.


Scene 2
As a child, I had this habit of opening beans before I ate them.


Hmm,
this post is getting a lil’ too yucky. Never mind the beans. I found
something not-so-nice in it. That’ll suffice, I guess. (Wipes a tear
from her right eye.)
I have many more of insect tales
(maybe I can begin an animation series like duck tales. PJ, I know.
(there, I’ve nullified the effect of the PJ by accepting it’s one and
making you smile, anyway. Smart, no?))

But
next time you see me bring a morsel close to my eye and turn it around
in my fingers to observe it from all angles and maybe even cut it into
smaller pieces (there could be something inside, you know), you’ll know what I’m doing.

Ooh, how could I forget this one? Guys in Orkut wanting friendship. Dude, go get a life! How desperate can you get? There was this absolute pervert who approached me on Orkut. *shudder*
I think I’ll switch my loyalty to Facebook very soon…

Hiccups.
Always at the wrong times. I was talking to an old school friend after
ages and I go hic, hic, hic-a-hic. Nothing works, I tell you! Not even
glassfuls of water or holding my breath till I look asphyxiated. Grr.


That
brings us to the end of the list. Aaah, it feels good. Nothing like a
good yelling session to make you feel better. I can’t believe I have
nothing more left to list. Ho hum, I’ll find something else to whine
about very soon. But no, that’s another post!

hey jayashre...i guess u had a reallly badd day today.....kuchh hua kya??? you can surely say that directly....

haha.
Kuch nahi hua, yaar. Aise hi...
The hols are getting to me! I love college and i'm getting bored! Just one of the many effects of hols on me.

Oh no no no! She's gotten into this blogging mode whereby she glorifies all her miseries to evoke humour..
I used that technique for most of my blogging days..
She's getting really good at it!


And oh dear, I'm reminded of the insects at Manipal!!

Sob! I don't want to go back to college anymore now!

Haha, you got that right, yes.

YOU don't want to go back to college anymore?? Hahahahaha. Catches her breath. Hahahahaha.

great goign guys...i always wanted to go to a resdidential college...got thru one o two too...buti guess economics ruled my heart and mind!!

Oh, i'm not in a residential college; I go from home. I live in the same town as my college. Dhruv is in the hostel, though. (We're classmates.)

I'll come up with a post someday bitching about how i don't have hostel life

Well, that was a fair compromise there!
Would have loved to do Economics..
It was my fourth choice (after Comp. Engg, Law and English.. and maybe Environmental Engg.)

fourth choice..........oyyeeee dun degrade my economics....you rather not put it in your choice list...hehe.....m jus playing around!!

How can I or anyone else, in fact, degrade the most sought-after course in Delhi University by students of every stream?!? Is it possible on the face of the earth?

hehehe....well i dunno about sought after....but for me...it is the best course at delhi university....lolz....this is teh onyl one i can do atleast...except for maths i guess!!! baaki ek bhi course mere bas ki baat nahi hai!!

Haha! Sorry, I didn't even consider Eco. Law, English, journo and psychology were major attractions but settled down to Comp science Engg. ultimately.

Of course it is.... It has the highest cut-offs!

You're being plain humble!

well the year i got in...my college came out with the fourth cut off list...my best of four was 86.25 and am still doing it!!! i think it was my destiny to do this course!!

Truly is!
That was a very lucky turn of events for you! Congrats!
Thank your stars and enjoy your course..

And come on Chat if you can!

Truly lucky, yes. It isn't often that we end up with the course of our choice. (Oh, i really pity those who're stuck with something they hate.)

oh yes....ia gree to that...i was really really lucky...and i thank my parents for that yea..especially my ma....i hated KM...i so dint wanna go there...i was literally pushed inside teh college on the first day...i guess she just saw my love and passion for economics...

Hated KM?? Why so?

coz the first tym i went tehre...teh common forms were beign sold there..it was a total mess...the help desk wasnt helpful at alll....the teachers never answered....it was weird....and plus..my cousin had scared me to death about how the college being a jat hub (the chandrawal incident had happened teh year before only...) she said no classes ever happen there...the teacher suck...i was so disheartened....isliye iw as a lill...na ..a lot...skeptical about goin there!!

Ohh, I can imagine you being apprehensive about KM...
Howdya find it now?

By the way, Comps in MIT is famous for having the least number of classes;)

Oh yes.. I saw that too..

But it is a very reputed college.. In spite of all that I saw, I knew that other colleges didn't have any more to offer.. Maybe one or 2..

Besides, I've heard the infra. of SRCC is terrible..

My cousin is in the admission process right now so I'm a bit aware..

I find KM way better than wat i was told about...or u can say i was just lucky...the year i entered, the union was taken over by sensible people...the teacher's(atleast of the eco deptt...) are fab...tehy out of teh way to help us...very friendly...the societies here rock...studies are really important here....but still..i dun really lyk the atmosphere here...u'll find me more in dskool than at km...

Ohh, that way our college has a fab atmosphere. Manipal's ideal for students. The teaching is something difficult to generalize (which, I believe, is true for any college) but on the whole, we do have an environment quite conducive for studies...

We don't have much of a union which's quite sad. On one hand you can say that it's good, there are no strikes, etc but then, if the students want to have a say, it becomes difficult...

I really think the student body of our college sucks on an overall..
No union.. Student Council sucks.. and no scope for improvement.. It'll always be in nasty hands unless rescued my a messiah..

Oh well! We just have to create our own little world that gives us pleasure..
