Waiting for the ELEVATOR?

Bored with your monotonous life?

Well here is quick interesting replay, which you will surely like to retry if you want to enjoy a hearty laugh with your friend just like I did today.

Finally by 8 pm your busy schedule of the day ends and you approach towards the lift of the 10^th floor. The earlier you want to get back home, longer the queue waits ahead of you, making sure you don’t get into the lift before its second round trip.

That’s when one mischievous smile of your friend brings back glee in your eyes. You grasp each other’s hand firmly, while taking care of the notes in the other hand. Quietly shifting towards the stair so that no one notices, soon enough you become out of sight for all others and you start running along the stairs. Every other floor you reach, you take a casual walk towards the lift, run your eyes to make sure no one is around as if you are on a secret mission, you press the button for the lift and again the chase for another floor continue via stairs till you reach the basement…… laughing hysterically how everyone else is still stuck in the lift just because lift waited on each floor for the ones who are already walking out of the building. We were the last standing in the queue but were the first ones to walk out with smiling pretty faces.  :D

(sadistic us…hehe)

PS- Neha Garg we are crazy and insane…:P

I Hate You (2)

“Sonali, stop laughing and do something about it.” I urged as she tried to control her immortal laugh.

Sonali and Niharika were my two irreplaceable roommates and pillar of support. I don’t know how I would have survived last two brutal years of my existence without them.

Sonali had a elegant model like figure, rosy complexion and light brown eyes always done with beautiful eye makeup. Needless to say she was popular among guys. The more attractive she was, more handsome her boy friend was.

Niharika on the other hand was always a sweet little ambitious kiddo for me and for some reason I always felt responsible for taking her care. Anyways she always proved me wrong by taking care of me in my worst moments, plus her stupid yet simple suggestions somehow always worked for me.

“Come-on, think about it Prenika. This is probably the smartest and easiest manner to get good grade, with that you never know when stars turn in your favor.”

“Excuse me.”? I questioned with my raised eyebrow.

“You know, Vishal is quite a catch….”

“Ehwww… even the thought is creepy. I will kill myself.” was my immediate response.

“Why are you planning to kill yourself? What’s up”? Niharika shouted as she entered the room.

Later Sonali translated the entire story and again laughing sessions continued.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

“Option 1.  Be good to him. Work together. Get good grades, and may be get lucky..hehe.

Option 2. Go and talk to him. Ask him to say NO to work with you. Manage passing grades and be happy with it.

Option 3. Irritate him like he was never irritated before and force him to back out.

“What’s your pick, by the way I love 3^rd vala.” said Niharika.

“Don’t be stupid Niharika”, said Sonali.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

“We need to talk.” I grumbled as I stood in front of Vishal.

“And I thought you hate me. But funny enough you can’t even wait till Tuesday lab.” He said in a pure sarcastic tone.

“Look I want you to tell sir that you can’t work with me.”

“Ohhh I see…you mean you want a favor from me.”

Completely pissed by his statement I shouted.

“No,I am just warning you to back out.”

“Oh My God, I am scared.”

“You better be.”

“Let’s take a look. What is it that you are so jealous about? My personality? My popularity???  Ohh my God, just crossed my mind. You fear falling in love with me, Isn’t it. Exactly that’s why you want to stay away from me as much as possible, knowing I will never be yours.”

“You are going to regret this. I promise you.  Be prepared for your first “F” grade. And for your information, Personality you are so proud about is not even near to what is called as civilized.”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

“In your heated argument you just forgot to take notice that his “f” grade means yours as well. You will be scored as a group.” Niharika said while bringing me back to my senses.

“Don’t you watch movies? Every blockbuster romantic love story begins the same way.” Sonali smirked as she enlightened us with her wisdom.

“Fuck off.” 
Silence was what i needed.

                        

I HATE YOU (1)

“Seat F-10”…. Silence followed.

“Prenika Kapoor”… Professor Mathur shouted again… only louder this time.

Alarmed by his loud and angry voice, I stood up while hiding my novel aside. Trying my best to put up an attentive expression “yes sir” I said.

Needless to say I didn’t know a word he taught in the lecture.

Hell what was the topic of the lecture. May be reading Nicholas spark was not a good idea. I thought to myself.

“So finally I have the honor of your attention miss. I hope I am not disturbing you from getting your beauty sleep. Am I“?

“Sorry sir”, was the most I could have uttered in front of those thousand humiliating starring eyes.

“Have you seen your last lab scores”?

And soon I knew I need to prepare myself for a good insulting session.

“Yes sir”.

“So when are you planning to study Prenika, or I wonder if you have planned to flunk in this semester”?

Excuse me, they weren’t that bad, were decent enough to make me pass at least. But Instead of voicing my thoughts I decided to stand embarrassed.

“Come to my cabin after this lecture. Sit down.”

And so my fate was sealed.  

 …………………………………………………………………………………………………….........

“May I come in Sir”, I asked as I knocked on the cabin door.

“Come in”, he said while keeping his focus still on computer screen.

“I am sorry sir”, I said.

I wanted things to get over as soon as possible.

Just then he turned and said “hmm..Prenika, yes I was expecting you…..Tell me what should I do with you?”

I decided to stay quiet.

“Why you want to ruin your future. You are a capable student. I know there is much more in you than that you show. What is it about Prenika?”

While I kept thinking of some convincing lines that could help me bail out of the situation, someone knocked on the door.

“Sir Please may I”, a voice cried from behind.

I turned around just to ensure what I heard was not exactly what I thought.

“Come in, Vishal”, Sir merrily announced.

Now this was a waking nightmare. Getting insulted in front of the guy you hate the most on this planet.

Vishal was always a spoiled, rich, irritating, wide mouth for me. Who knew nothing but flirting, and to my surprise his “GHATIYA TRICKS” somehow always worked with girls. In fact my very own friends use to remain amused of him. The only thing I never understood was how he scored so well in every test?

“He will be your new lab partner.” Professor Mathur declared.

“What but why?” All I could mutter in such a state of shock.

“Sir this is completely insane. I will not be able to work with him.”

“Why? What is wrong with Vishal? He is okay with you. ”

“Sir, I promise I will score better. I will work hard. Spare me this time.”

“Stop arguing Prenika.” Professor Mathur shouted. “I don’t have time for all this. Be thankful for saving you and giving you a partner like Vishal so that you can score better. I don’t want any student to flunk in my subject. I don’t want to hear a word more from you, leave now.”

Reading Nicholas Spark was definitely not a good idea.

Ice Skating

As temperature continue to drop across the country, all I want to do is to roll down under my blanket (lazy me :D). In fact, I won’t mind a hot cup of coffee and some great movies.

But just in case if you already bored doing the same and want to experience little adventure this season. How about ICE SKATING???

Don’t you love watching all those spins, jumps and footwork of ice skaters on your television sets????

 All of that poise and elegance?

Well if the answer is yes to all above question… then my friend you are well on time….. Because every year ice skating club of Shimla organizes the “ICE SKATING CARNIVAL”, which usually begins in the start of December and goes on till the end of February. Shimla has the largest ice skating rink in South Asia. It is also the only natural ice skating rink of India. 

The cold weather and clear skies make sure that people have undisturbed sessions of ice-skating. The sessions take place every day, twice a day in morning and evening. The rink also provides membership on short and long term basis. Basic equipments like skates, cap, kneepads etc. are available at the rink. The place comes alive with festivities, feasts, carnivals and colorful fancy dress competitions for children.

It is the time to enjoy the cold weather and indulge in not just sports but also sinful hogging!

PS- As i was recently updated by my frnd.. if u cant take a trip to shimla (like me) and happen to be living or coming to Delhi.... then you will be glad to knw recently iSKATE was inaugurated in Ambience mall, Gurgaon. You can sign up for a five-week course (which includes once-a-week, half-hour sessions in a group with an instructor and one-and-a-half hours on the rink) for Rs2,500. A 2-hour session on the rink (minus lessons) costs Rs300 on weekdays and Rs400 on weekends and includes ice skates. For children, you can hire a penguin-shaped skating aid for an additional Rs150.

                           In Search of My Dream Land

In search of my new land of dreams,

I set my sails open in seven seas.

Drawing in the tangy taste of air,

I hold my wheel of fortune with pride.  

While the vastness and depths continue to surprise,

Anxiety starts slipping by.

What if’s and When? start to brood over,

As violent storm approaches near.

Voluminous tides sweep and throw me away,

Suffocated and tired I fall apart.

No more controlling the Wheel of fate,

Once I thought was under my name.

Lost and directionless in vast blue scape,

I try to find where i stand.

Slowly and eventually Sun shines and confusion subsides,

As I find compass of determination inside.
