Anti-Stress pill-Mitra

One exam down and no sleep to spare, not that I burnt the midnight candle, but movies and books made the nght seem less tiresome.And morning came amazingly fast unlike the normal death hours when you keep waiting for each moment to pass through.

Enter Suman Mitra.Two stares at me, and one Vijay Kumar typical smile later, MIB personnel look alike T.A, in disguise, with the power of his hidden instruments seems to have interpreted my "Hi" to K.P, as a huge plot in the making and uncovered it right from the root by making us sit apart by 30 centimeters more.

1 hour past the start, I imagine why I even bought a compass. I was going to blow it anyway. I took the pencil and started drawing anything that crept into my head. Headless ants, 3-legged spiders, 1 legged tables, revolutionary clothes for the next NIFT fashion show, and then, Suman Mitra tapped me gently on my shoulder. I normally stay away from people like that, so I tried not to look disturbed and kept concentrating on the Q paper as though I was desperate to figure out the next answer, when he told me that this was a mistake. I had commited a sin. I was insulting parts of the society and that this should not be done in DAIICT.I was already in a whirlpool and this guy just hooked an achor to my head. But, why?He did not tell me what I had done and I just stared at him.Then he said"I hab sheen yuu yashtardhe alsho bherin the shame theshaart.Phlez do not waer it in the college".


My tee read: Women are like elephants.
Look at them but never own one


And this one is borrowed from Naresh, unknowingly to him, as he placed it openly on the cot and such free clothes in a summer that makes me change atleast once in three days cannot go without my notice

Crucified by the Society

As I lay on my keyboard, struggling to stay away from the world, I see four keys. The four directions. The one that shows itself as the most clear key is the down arrow.I can feel it pulling me in it's direction.Or is it me who is pressing my own down key??I am going down. The battle is on and I do not want to fight. I want to live to fight another day. This battle cannot be won. Not by any human means.

Me: first 5 years of life
I was not very much unlike others, a kid content with his own tricycle, who kept himself moving on the corridor, with speed that never ended, except when pain shot up in the legs and then sleep ended the day. Another day would soon start and it would be no different, there would be the same cycling and crying and sleeping...

Next few Years of life:
to be contd....

Aditi Govitrikar:My fet,a few Feet from my feet

Me, Mohit and Amber stumbled all the way to the NIFT gate and called Anu who promptly came out and calmly asked us to follow her.On the way, there was this 30 odd guy, wo looked like he was a profesional at watever he was.Anu told him that we were her friends and he allow us in. He shouted at the guard"Andar jaane do , Janne do UNHE"...Our hearts leapt with joy. There was military outside and people were selling the passes for 700 rupees...And we got in for free...All credit to Annu with two N's which I keep forgetting.
In the huge swarm of faculty, a few wierdo guys, and lots of eligible girls, we managed to find a spot where we could put four chairs in a line and stand on them without being shouted at. We went in just when the show was about to begin.

The Show:
It was a show of 32 sequences. From 32 students who graduated from NIFT, gandhinagar in FD.Each sequence had it's own say and each sequence, more importantly had the same models which included Aditi.for a start, I have never seen supermodels FTV apart, and this being one of best in India, already had the audience hooting and goring at her...
Anyway, there was this sequence called color me black from which I could never take my eyes off...It was one collection which looked ready to win the prize...It had everyone coming in black bits of clothes with strings around the waist or at the shin and when they pulled them, the clothes fell down to the feet, revealing the other side of the same clothes with different colors...It was like a peacock suddenly opening up it's ....wat's it called?? group of peacock feather's..
All in All, It was a hellluva show....After which I got a free farewell dinner from Mohit which I 'll not forget in the near future....
