Mona's Yappy Budday! :D

Well well... 11th of August. This was a day when Monalisa could come late to class and not bother about it. Her b'day after all... From what she told me, she had done a bit of shopping (b'day plus puja shopping), had been wished by a lot of friends on phone (someone special among them as well) and had recieved 40 scraps on Orkut (she is popular)! She entered the class wearing a cute pink top and brown leggings and a small bag (I dunno why, for heaven's sake why, people use those tiny bags... they are better off without them). She was looking good, feeling good (too :D) and was immediately wished by friends. We four (me, Sola, Shubha and Mona) hugged each other, Sailender kept wishing her every few minutes (he declared that whoever wishes more will get more chocolates!) and Kaushik wished her (she doesn't know this but we were giggling because Kaushik was unaware of the whole thing and wished her when I mouthed at him "It's her b'day... !" he he). As usual we didn't pay attention during classes (that is normal not 'cause of the occasion) and during lunch break, Sola and Shubha got a (very fruity and creamy) cake which actually made Sola feel sick later on because she doesn't like too much cream... Nothing much to write about the cake cutting ceremony :P Basically we didn't have a cake fight since Shubha hurried off for a meeting and Mona got away with only a few streaks of cream on her face and hair (so unfair that we actually ate the whole thing). I took a video of it on her phone (which was a major goof up thanks to my absent mindedness and I can't tell u about my mistake) and till Mona gave them a slice each, Soham and Arka kept gazing at the cake longingly as if in love!:P Twice we tried giving Mona b'day bumps (we have to lift her up and kick her bum) and both times we failed. Firstly, we didn't have enough lifting power and secondly both times we grabbed her feet and pulled at them without lifting her torso so she fell flat on her bottom... like some freak cartoon show! Later I suggested that she should stand and then we will give her the bumps but she ran away. So much for tradition! In the middle of all this Sola and Shubha told me I won't be getting a cake but a plate of biriyaani on my next b'day and assured me there will be no biriyaani fight... I told them I don't want anything but who listens to me?

Screw "Good"!

कहा जाता है- आप भले तो जग भला... इतनी पसंद आई थी यह बात CBSE वालों को की इस के बारे में एक पूरा chapter ही डाल दिया था हमारी किताब में! कितना सही लगता है सुनने में ना? आप दुनिया से ठीक तरह से पेश आओ, दुनिया भी आप से अच्छा बर्ताव करेगी. आप अच्छे रहो तो दुनिया भी आप के लिए अच्छी बन जायेगी. सब बकवास है!
Nowadays, world is more like a camera than an X ray machine. People take pictures of other people. Face, influence, money, power, that's what they look for in a person. Who has got the time and patience to try and know who you really are inside? It's a fast paced world where every second counts. Nothing else matters...
And me? I have learnt this long back. It was kinda good I moved to a metropolitan city... I learnt early. Some incidents still shock me, but they are rare. I have learnt that no matter what I do or say, nobody gives a damn. If I'm bad then poeple will say I'm bad. But if I'm good, then also people will say I'm bad and THAT hurts. All the world sees is a meaningless photograph of myself...
I have had enough. I simply don't care a hoot about perceptions anymore. People say I am a foulmouth, I use loads of slangs, I say, I do. People say I make perverted jokes, I say, I do. People say I'm झगड़ालू , I bicker a lot, I say, I do, I do, I do... People might think, why don't I try to be otherwise? Like not abusing anything and everything in front of me, like being a bit sober, like being more tolerant? I might try but I'll still get all the crap I'm getting right now. The pile will grow and grow and finally screw my mind. And I feel better when I screw the world back... so I will. To hell with everything "good"! x-(

Manic Monday... *groans*

Today today today... Manic Monday! You won't believe what's happening in Kolkata. The government has banned pre-93 vehicles to curb pollution. So around 70000 vehicles have gone off the roads! Tough time for daily passengers... Morning I couldn't get a single auto but somehow managed to get in a bus. Then to reach college I had to take a rickshaw 'cause I was already late. The rickshaw walla charged Rs 10 instead of the usual Rs 8. Fine... that is still ok. When I had to come back that time I was shocked 'cause I hadn't imagined a total absence of autos at the stand. Had to get a share-taxi somehow, by paying Rs 15 instead of the usual Rs 6 in auto... still it's bearable 'cause kolkata is much cleaner now. This green drive is going to help people (the ban should have been imposed long before). In the taxi people were talking about it. Two passengers supported the cause to clean the city and one was grumbling about the inconvenience... So I hope majority is in favour of this. I have had enough of these automobile fumes... Now it's time for "Breathing Free" *smiles* :)
