THE BLOG OF (sm)all THINGS.........

Family gatherings are joyous occasions without exception…… From the aunt who exclaims “arrey!!..kitna bada ho gaya mera raja beta” everytime she see’s you ( growing up is normal…ain’t it??…where’s the surprise??) to your young cousins who are almost always in awe of ‘ bhaiyya/didi’ ( I tell you;that feeling of having an elder cousin is one warm feeling to cherish) and of course,delicious food & gossip sessions lasting till late in the night,they all lend it a feel which makes you go nostalgic everytime you think of those times... Imagine being made to study in such times… torturous ,if I were to say in a word… Back home for a quick vacation this summer,I was at my maternal aunt’s place….my parents were there,as were my other maternal aunts & uncles along with my cousins……perfect settings for fun & frolic…. My 7 year old cousin Dimpy wasn’t too happy though…..with a test to give the next day,she had been made to sit with her books….. my dad :"arrey dimpy bete...

I had been sleeping......back to pune from pondicherry,we had been waiting for MT(military transport)@the railway station.....tired after a long journey,I had dozed off.... Some commotion woke me from slumber....I glanced @the digital clock overhead....24:13....dismissing it as a figment of my imagination,I was trying to doze back again when Panda who had been sleeping beside me said in his usual sleepy voice " आबे....टाइम देख"..... and I knew it wasn't a dream..... MAMATA DI ZINDABAD......

They all laugh at me! And the girls giggle behind my back... Unable to even glance at my disfigured face. Why am I so ugly? Why am I such a hideous monstrosity? She is the one girl I have loved in my life. And she likes that dumb good-looking guy! What did I do to deserve this? I am going to end all of this... I am going to burn down this college to the ground! They will know what they get for treating me this way . Do not burn down the college Kyle! Who said that? I did! Who are you? Sitting and crying about a girl who doesn't even deserve your love will not solve your problems. Why can't I see you? You think you've been cheated because you are ugly... But I am here to show you otherwise. Come! There is much to see. Hmm... okay. I want you to look in here. This woman is Nancy Pinkerton. In her youth she was consistently rated the most beautiful girl in her entire college. Her life was filled with praises, and everything being handed to her...

1)I thought I knew the difference between 'tees' and 'jerseys'....only 2 be proved wrong when I enetered AFMC ... or more correctly,when I moved to Pune, quite rightly dubbed 'THE OXFORD OF THE EAST' .... wearing a tee meant to absorb sweat on a sports field to malls, parties and any occasion whatsoever....its cool and fashionable,I've learnt...more so if u are an EPL fan... no rocket science this,just that some idiotic 'small town bhaiyya' needed 2 odd years 2 understand something this simple...                                                2)Heard it from a senior for the first time in JULY'08 during one of the famed 'orientation sessions'@AFMC ,sessions which have launched many a distinguished career in medicine..... Never knew it would become suc...

                                                                    The evening was lovely.... her presence  across the candle-lit table coupled with the moon peeping through the clouds made it look even lovelier... Her eyes strayed and her lips picked up a smile...clearly,she had seen something interesting... A much-in-love couple swaying to some light music was her object of interest... Having sensed her next move,he twisted uneasily in his seat... he even considered using the loo as an excuse but she acted quicker than he thought.... "would you like to dance?" her big expressive eyes seemed to ask more than just the question.. "...

1)Success and the emptiness that follows it...a puzzle often encountered,seldom solved ... experienced it,but u never seeked an answer....did u???? 2)ever noticed a child crying??...how he periodically looks at the people around him to gauge the effect he's having on them...human pysche or smthing else??                                                                OR brought urself a new dress??...u'd wear it countless times and still say that it doesn't look good on u...of course,in front of others... fishing for praise ??... human psyche at play again?? 3)why is so difficult for some to say goodbye while others do it at at the drop of a hat??.... 4 )"u don't love me na...
