Nostalgia:School Dayzzzz !!!

I was cleaning out my study table the other day ..books lying here and there..my favorite pen which I had been searching for, was lying in one corner..mess all around..."Thud !!" something fell on my head. Angrily I looked over to see..what was that '@#@#%% thing'...and suddenly all my anger vanished away. It was my scrap book..I left aside all my work..and began to read each and every scrap my school time friends had written...reading those scraps brought a smile on my face..innocent things written..I had even pasted my class photograph in it..seriously there were 2-3 people whom I had completely forgotten . This brought back very sweet memories..my childhood days...my teachers,lunch breaks,PT classes,small small gupshup's with my friend's..Life was very sweet and simple..No hard feelings..No ego problems..Woah!!! what a life..!!

I remembered those day's when my best friend and I would giggle on stupid jokes. We were bench partners. Not a single minute when we would keep quite. I still remember the first time I met her and also the first time we fought with each other. The way we patched up after the fight..it was chooo chweet !!
There are so many incidents with her..

1 Incident : I and my best friend ( SP) where sitting and listening to our very borrrrrring hindi sir's kavita...yawwwwwwnnn...suddenly SP took out a pen and made a question mark on my hand..enraged even I made a similar thing on her hand..she tried it again ..but this time I tried to save my poor hand from her attack..she caught my hand and would not leave it..
" Kya chal raha hai yahan pe??" . She left my hand and both of us blurted out " Kuch nahi sir..kuch bhi toh nahi "..Sir looked at us quite suspiciously ... then gave us a very wicked smile and asked me " Usne tumhara haath pakda tha...tumko kaisa laga ??"..puzzled I looked here and there..praying some aakaashwaani would tell me the answer...but ultimately.. I very sweetly said "Hmmm ..patta nahi sir..vaise toh theek hi laga"....and sir laughed like a Dracula... It was year's after this incident that I came to know why he had asked us this question...phew!!! if I just meet him ones ..I seriously want to make many things clear !!!

2 Incident : One of my friend's was laughing in Hindi sir's class..( I mean this professor was mad..boring ...every bad and mad thing put together..)..
Sir : Anjuji ...kitna hasti ho tum !!
Anju : Sorry sir..
Sir : aaj kaunse paani se nahaya hai??
Anju : Paani??
One of the rowdy boys : Garam Paani se sir!!!
Sir : tumko kaise pata...hahaha...
Poor anju...vaise toh even we laughed ..but poor anju..:)

3 Incident : There was this girl in my building..who was quite older to me...I was in the 3rd std and she was in the 6th std...I was kind of her chamchi at that time...she used to speak very fluent English and in Third std..I speaking all wrong wrong English. One day I thought I would show her that even I could speak like her..so while going to school..I pointed towards two of my classmates and said " These childrens are very naughty "..She looked at me in disbelief and snapped back.." Dimple..it's not childrens ..it is children..you will say These children are very naughty "...Insult !!! That was a tight slap on my face..I would definitely show her the next time...I waited for 14 Nov to come...On the D- day ..I was ready..with great confidence I said " Ohh ..happy children day!!!! "....Now I don't think I need to say what happened next..those who understood this ..good ..For those who did not get it.." Ohh never mind..Happy children day..:)) "

Wake up !!!...please one more incident ..plzz

4 Incident : Our biology teacher had planned to take us on a trip to 'Chin Choti'..it is a mountain and midway there's a beautiful waterfall. Now my friend (SP) and I were quite happy about it. We started to day dream ..how we would be the first ones to reach the top ..how biology teacher would go gaga about us..now when the actual trek started..in the beginning both of us were all geared up to reach the top..but after 1 hr we both got so tired..and suddenly we got a laughter attack.. we just could not walk a step ahead..on the top of it..when half dead we reached the waterfall..I got so excited that I fell in the water on one of the seniors..a long imaginary story was later made out of this by none other than SP :)..( The story was that my bottle cork fell in the water..and the senior jumped in the water to find it for me..and she would always accompany this story with a very funny music.."Lalalalala..lalalalal..lalalallal..."..don't know how many of you understood which music it was...but it is a very horrible tune..which usually you will find in older..Dimple Kapadia movie's..like sagar..eewwww )

Lastly if SP you read this blog..which I am 100 % sure I will make you read this time...how could we ever dance on that song "Hun huna re hun hun huna.."..shit and that too if you remember we would practice it outside somebody's house..who would again and again come out to see whether we were a bunch of retarded children...and how could you suggest of singing " Aaj humare dil mei ajab ye uljhan hai " song for GROUP SINGING..Thank god !!! we didn't get time for rehearsal ..otherwise audience to bura haal kar dete yaar..;)
Shucks !!..Having to write a blog on this topic has brought back so many memories that one post is not enough for it..I will have to write sequels of this nostalgia ..Part-I, Part-II ,and so on..Yaa I mean I still have to write about how I got addicted to chatting , my college friends..godd so many things..seriously I am surely going to write on this again. Till that time if you have a cute,funny incident to share..Plzz be my guest !!..:)

Valentine's Day Eeeespecial

Sitting near my french window and gazing out, I can see pairs walking together ..birds chirping ..pleasant breeze passing among the trees...romantic atmosphere everywhere. Yaawwwn !!! No wonder... only a few days left for Valentine's day..these things have to happen !!!Then a sudden thought ..is love only felt by humans ?? I get my answer when I watch Laaloo playing with his kids. Ooops!!! sorry didn't introduce you to Laaloo.
A formal introduction won't do justice to him, so let me take you to flashback (as usual ;))

Flashback :

Bandana tied to his head..sweat all over his face..unperturbed by the cheering going on for him...his eyes fixed towards the ball that is coming towards him...All children going crazy for him " Come on Laaloo you can do it !!!! come on .." ...and...and ..and ... it's a catch..Laaloo had done it again....Laaloo our very smart ,good looking and most eligible bachelor dog in our colony. He was good at everything. He would play with the children. Cricket was his favorite. He seemed perfectly normal ..we had never seen any signs of madness in him...till one day..when he for the first time saw HER.
It was a usual day. Everything was perfect...Laaloo busy practicing his cricket with colony children when he had a glimpse of her and for the first time in his life he missed an easy catch...and the ball landed straight on Her head ...well HER in this case is a bitch (Hey don't get me wrong she really was a bitch..ok for the decent ones...I will call her Laalee..though its a very yuck name..)Returning back to the topic....That day Laaloo's team did win the match ..but as they say in bollywood "per wo dil ki match haar gaya "..(I luvv that dialogue wonder who invented this line)

For us she seemed like yet another bitch..but for Laaloo calling her ordinary would have been calling Taj Mahal a pretty nifty tomb!!! He had made up his mind..and one thing was clear for him now, that life would be a pretty poor affair if he did not get to see her again. So everyday he would wait for her to pass that road. No idea about her feelings..but wise men say..she was pretty famous in her dog community !!!..why the hell would she be interested in him..but Laaloo was adamant. He would try to gain attention from her by bringing left over food for her ,mutton from butcher shop...etc etc.. I think even she had begun to like him..but would never speak out. But hell broke loose when one day Laaloo decided to follow her home. For ignorant people, each dog has its own area..and dogs dont like stranger dogs encroaching into their area. That day Laaloo had broken a law...following Laalee he had entered a different area.Suddenly Laaloo was stopped by the gunda and dada dog's (oblivious to this Laalee had reached home ). Laaloo could have run away..but he didn't..he stood there like a rock.. ready to face anything for Laalee!!! The result was terrible , they ripped his skin off...he was in a terrible condition..and landed straight in ICU. That day all colony children,adults ..everybody was present there to give him emotional and financial support. When Laalee came to know this she came running towards the hospital. Wise men say they saw tears in her eyes and gossip mongrels say they even saw her breaking her bangles on the wall and screaming a "nahiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiia' !!!! Doctors had given up hope they said "Patient ki haalat bahut naazook hai ..Laaloo ko ab dawa ki nahi dua ki zaroorat hai "...I think she prayed quite hard..because after 5 days he opened his eyes..and recognised everybody.. prayers had paid off..Laaloo was fine in a month and back to normal health. He and Laalee got married and now are proud parents to 6 puppies...:))

Laaloo and Laalee



Returning from flash back
This story taught me many things:
1] If you are consistent and adamant you can get anything
2] Troubles will always come in your path..dont get scared..face it
3] And the most important lesson ...Dogs don't have to do anything ...they don't have to study,they don't have to go to work..they can sleep all day..nobody says anything to them..I wish I was a ..( I am not saying anything now !!!....;))
