Risks and innovation. Such heavy title :P

Summer Jam.
But when it comes to a text message that would deduct one rupee out of the leftover balance -
drastic CHANGE IN MENTALITY.
You'd rather not 'waste' that one rupee :D
- Anger management therapy.
My personal remedy : just sleep over!
By the time you wake up , chances are you wouldn't even remember what were you so cranky about.
- Retail therapy works only if you FIND good clothes.
It can have an opposite effect otherwise.
- One of the fast catching lines in college :
"Tu kahe toh jaan bhi de du..bas mangiyo mat :D"
- I'm mad with my soul sister because she is shifting to the other end of the city.Not that I've met her in past one month despite the fact that she stays only 2 kms far..but knowing that she is going away a little far and I cannot see her anytime I wish to - is - killing me.
I have this over burdening hypothetical and projected feeling that she wouldn't be as close to me.
One of my worst fears.
- There have been rounds and various kinds of conflicts among friends. As we sat to discuss and sort things out - there wasn't much left to say.Nobody spoke much.And whatever we did was more in jest. I wonder why it got so awkward and difficult to convey.
Maybe sometimes you just cannot explain.
Maybe sometimes you just want the other person to understand everything by them self.
Whether they do or not is secondary though.
Because the best part is even in that brief mute meeting all cold vibes are hijacked in a jiffy when you giggle looking at each other. :P
- Life ka aisa funda hai ki..
Stop forming opinions every flipping second.
What someone is doing or what someone said & how someone behaves is a rubbish collection of useless data : as long as it doesn't "really" affect you.
treat how you are treated. Or still better - don't treat at all.
Thats enough to survive blazing summers! Keep your head cool :P
- And add to it the fact that exams are kind of more fun than vacations. All of us friends are together the whole time! It is also interesting that nobody runs out of funny topics to talk about while studying.
Our 'hard work' pays off by totally getting screwed in the exam.
:O
Usually we all have this mechanism of predicting what questions are going to be asked. Atleast 4 on 6 on average are correct. This time, however , the topics we are skipping are making their way into the paper.
Now I don't really have this second theory that I should opt for these apparent topics that are NOT going to be asked. Its going to work the opposite anyhow!!
- I've got this laughter disease. I am constantly laughing on anything and everything. Even when a friend asks 'How was the exam?' - which she couldn't appear for because she was detained :D ( funny story that :P )
I've been banned from conference calls because my 'performance' - as one of them said - was below mark. Lol , hasne se fursat mile tab I'll speak anything ?! :|
- I won't be able to attend the housewarming party of my uncle. It should be called the palace warming party. They've built a 30,000 sq feet bungalow! - totally palace looking from outside and super modern from the inside. No switches and stuff. Automated.
And ...I will be missing THE party!!
And see my bad luck..I've got the shitty exam right on that day in the blazing afternoon so I can't even catch the flight.
I obviously have this urge to sit for makeup exam :P
but thats not going to happen [ the nth time I'm on this side of the argument !]
My friend adds fuel to the fire - tempting me to go.
Exam toh chalte rehna hai..aise party kab hogi wapas?!
Read : GO ! So that I can beat your score. :o
I'm not competing re baba. I'm competing with myself. :P Seriously.
I think the above statement comes into action when you are scoring better than your friends.
Otherwise ..it would be like..
'Damn'
'Chal dekhte is baar kitne milte' *very competitively*
'How many pages did you fill ?' *desperately*
'Tune toh sab kuch padh li hogi , hai na? Revision bhi ho gaya hoga 2 baar ?? :P'
lol ;)
the next exam is on Applied Operations Reasearch and I will be feel horrible if I don't screw it.
Gotto make it even.

Only expression : '!!!???!!!'
Nor is it the weight issues. Those few extra pounds.
Not the monotonous 'hmmm' and 'hello'.
No
My biggest turn off is when I know I can screw the exam in the first glimpse that I catch of the paper , I know I can totally bang it..
and yet I take over wrong values.
Just that.
I know the answer isn't right. I know something somewhere is wrong.
I check again. And I STILL don't find my mistake.
Entire solution wrong.
Of all the turn offs ever..THIS is the MOST annoying.
Reverse effect.
Its like the question paper telling me , it screwed me.

Driving isn't the only way you learn to swear.
A subject that makes you swear annoyingly even while you write its exam.
A subject that makes you swear wildly when you are done writing the exam :D
Perspective management ...!@#$%^&
Marketing.
Its strange how I never mentioned our marketing professor. Every girl in our college must be having a crush on him. ( If you happen to take a random sample :P )
This crush was first crushed when we heard he is married. And then it was awfully boiled over on hearing he has a kid too :P
It is not only his sharp face cut and attractive features..it has also a lot to do with HOW he teaches. And I must say..he is quite mind blowing :D
Maybe the only positive I would mention if asked whether I like the college.
IT is very very very unfair that exams are taking place :
1. during december..the month I love for no reason at all.
2. when seemingly good movies are releasing.
3. missed a couple of good movies already ( tin tin!! ) due to the so called PL [ preparational leave ] where no preparation actually happened.
4. ending on 31st.
No time to shop.
So how on earth are you supposed to enjoy a new year's eve party without a sexy dress to wear ?
Wait.
How on earth are you even supposed to GO to a new year's eve party without a sexy dress to wear ?
OK am digressing..
change the topic.
Its funny how your brain's capacity reacts to varying course content.
If you have to prepare for 2 units ..you automatically keep one for the 11th hour.
But when you have 6 units to prepare..you finish off at least 3 ..and interestingly quite fast :O
In short. Exams are cruel.
Gotto buy a gift. I suck at gifting. I'm horrendous at buying gifts. Not because I am a miser but because I don't gift halfheartedly :P
So tomorrow shall began with a gift buying expedition.Searching for the right can be cruel too.

Exam Talks
"Yaar..I keep cell near me during exams.Pata chala paper postpone ho gaya toh koi inform toh kar de"
This is just one of the things.The exams have just begun , and we are already planning what we are going to do on the last day of the paper ;) Its kinda funny.
And then the other day .. I was highly irritated after studying the same thing over and again ..so when my friend asked me 'what else' , I said -
lol :) Kinda cracked me up.
We can be so hopeless.Wanting for exams to end even before they have commenced.
Hopelessly expecting for the exams to get canceled.
And discussing everything else on earth which ain't even remotely close to exam.
And here's a text message I got few days back :

A4 size chit to cheat
It used to ..sometime back..make me feel not so great.Detached.As if it were plain luck.But NO..exam results are never luck dependent , not unless the checker is half-witted to give you marks for free or its an online exam where you mark intelligent flukes.
It happened with me in 10th exams results.I scored more than that I probably had solved & I was so happy that I all I did was kept wishing the checker all the goodness in life.
I must have said a dozen time "checker k muh mein ghee shakkar" which these days I replace with "xyz k muh mein pizza , sizzler , paneer tikka , chocolate cake : one by one"
The previously written as Red As tomato with embarrassment situation ; let me elaborate :
So it was a time pass exam.Term exam in 11th grade.
Physics paper.
I have always had the great privilege of being surrounded by the mosttttt dumb exam partners EVER..who btw , I know not why , would think I know EVERYTHING.
This time , we were made to sit randomly.Like we wished.
And so , beside me was the Professional expert at cheating.
She carried chits in each exam.
Now we had this 16 mark question which was a theorem & I KNEW the answer.But since she carried that page ( from the book ) which had the theorem on it , I delightedly took over.Can you imagine ? An almost A4 size chit to cheat from ??
I was carefully managing to take a look at the chit and then I have no idea how the invigilator figured out what I had.He walked slowly towards me.And ...and..I knew I'm having a heart attack.I was so nervous , all I could do was to calculate what is the next possible thing I could do ?
DISAPPEAR off the face of earth ??? : I wish!
He asked me , "Give that to me" And I looked at him BLANK faced.
I first gave him the question paper.I mean , what else could I do ?
Then I slid the chit in my answer sheet right in FRONT of him.
Guts :P
He looked daggers at me and said , "Not this.Give me THAT"
And then..I had to give up.I gave him the answer sheet with the chit inside it.He took the chit off , returned the answer sheet & WALKED AWAY.Didn't say a word more.
I was dancing in my head at this point , lol So relieved!
BUT..ALL heads were turned in my direction.And since I was sitting at one corner of the class - it just got worse.So that was emmmmbbaaarraaasssiiinnngggg.I was literally red in the face.And the professional cheater next to me was like.."oyeee! bach gayi ! "
I was like Why ? Why did it have to be me ? I mean here the girl who cheats in EVERY damn exam isn't caught even once ( what a record she carried :P ) & I..who was cheating at full scale for the first time - was to be caught cheating so badly.
But anyway , Invigilator k muh mein choc cake! Sach mein bach gayi!

Cute cut ? Alien cut!
Scolding from parents.Terrible one! Horrible!
My mind was on catastrophe.Thank god I didn't took time out to blog 'bout it! :D
I mean really THANK GOD I did not.
I understand blogging is an addiction of sort.If not for writing a post , at least for signing in again & again to see blog updates , reading listed & unlisted blogs , comments etc.
But once again , Thank god!
I like the fact that I actually believe in 'whatever happens - happens for the good'
Old dull saying to excuse ourselves from reality. ( we only say it during tough times ) But I like it.Specially because it has been a kind of blessing in disguise.I'm not getting in details.Thank god!! :D
The only case to point out where I do not comply with the old saying is when I got a haircut!
I mean a bad haircut cannot do anybody good!!
Although I had a haircut just two months back ( when I took Madonna's pic of her blond layered haircut which is too sexy only if you have such hair ) , I decided to trim 'em again.My hair has started falling rapidly again.Its been more than 6 months I recovered from typhoid , after which my hair was literally DISSOLVING.I took homeopathic treatment which did wonders but only for a while.My hair's getting thinner day by day & I have no idea what to do bout it!
At least no sane person would wash her hair with 3 shampoos together ?! I used to do that.Cut short to two shampoos presently :P
Anyway so I got a haircut (not at all worthy ) which is not even anything great.I just couldn't decide if I wanted to trim my hair or experiment something again.In the end , like always , I was tempted to experiment which had me asking for Fringes.Why did the bloody b u t c h e r not suggest me not to get fringes ??!! with that thin lifeless hair ??!! WHY !?!
I thought it wasn't that bad either anyway and so I spared her my anger.
For three days , dad's been watching my hairdo carefully making me very uncomfortable.Finally he said , " What kind of hairstyle is that ? Looks like an ALIEN cut"
I was like O M G! I had almost started thinking it was rather cute but cut = alien ???! :
I'm obviously mad.Whatever happens with a haircut never happens for the good.Why do I always land up with an unusual or boring haircut ? The Madonna type haircut wasn't a disaster as such but to get my hair look like that way , it would have been a daily exercise of blow dry which I wasn't going to do anyway.I've spoiled my hair in all these years.Earlier I used to wash them with herbs :( shampoo is so my foe now :((
Exam's over.But that's not a relief yet.
I want some nice summer holidays which do not require me to get back to some actual studies while scraping surfing & movies.
I cannot live w/o watching movies!

Packing up Hope
Had hukkah 5 times in last 10 days but I cldnt take more than 3 puffs at a time.Was feeling so dizzy :S And I 'll try not to have it again. Kinda wastes my effort on pranayam.
Lunch was at home ( my uncle's place ) & I was finding it too hard to gulp down a molecule of that food.The cook over there cooks everything so weird.Or maybe I'm just not used to that kind of food.I missed ghar-ka-khana so much ! Nothing beats what my mum cooks.I've decided not to nag now onwards.I so under-estimated what she cooks :P Sorry mum!
One of my first cousin's got a very good job at Calyon Bank with a fairly nice package in this time of recession.He got what he was really looking for.I'm so excited & happy for him :)
That didn't help me much to stay happy for a long time because there's just one thing that blinks ahead of my idle mind - "you black sheep!"
And the only thing I say to the study-devil that hounds me is " I know I know..I need to study , but I just don't know where to start from.I'm running late as always :("
Looking back , I have always gone through that phase where I've told myself "I could have done better" but nobody really gives a damn about it because the only thing that mattered was whether I really did anything better.But I never did.Too much of the 'but' congestion in my life.
So with two of my first cousins having great jobs at multinational banks , there's obviously a lot of expectation ( from a hopeless student like me ) from this little 19 yr old girl who feels 16 , who hates exams , who wishes if she had have got into Arts , who cannot make the head & tail of accounts/tax & yet is pursing CA.
My problem is that I'm not at all confident & thats mainly because I'm not too much interested in what I'm doing.But I'm still somehow pulling time to make some other people happy around me , thought honestly speaking , I'm not trying :( which is not making others happy anyway!
I badly need to resume studying.Its been a long break..can count in months! :(
We all got together for a small dinner party at my cousin's place yest to celebrate his achievement.Went to the temple later on.I felt so good after a long time and sadly all these days I didn't seek help from god.I suddenly realized what I've been missing on.
I know God is not going to write my exams but just praying gives me a little hope & strength to open my books.He's my confidence back-up.I do feel guilty for asking for anything just when I need it ..& all that but this is important.I cannot afford to disappoint dad once again :(

I find it funny!
I think I really did wish to watch it but after reading the reviews , I was wondering if it would be worth while !?!
I don't have time to waste now.And anyway was stuck with exams ,so that was my second reason why not to watch the movie.
So she went ahead and watched it last Monday.
My cell kept on the desk vibrated at 11.45 am when I was studying.I had exam at 2.30.I picked up and read the msg >>
- Hey Man ! 10,000 BC is aussum! Its amazing yar..do wtch it ..its reli cul.
> Now first of all I don't know why she eats most of the letters of the word ? SMS mania that she got ! and I was wondering what is "aussum" - sounds idiotic :P ,lol
And now I was knitting my brows and just trying to figure out how on this earth she liked the movie ?? my text >>
You must be crazy ! There's no story line.The hero keeps on wandering through the forest & encounters weird animals ! The graphics are age old ! What's wrong with you're move taste ? :\
> OK, I know that my assumptions that the movie isn't all that good is totally based on the reviews & though I don't fully rely on what Masand from CNN-IBN had to say ..I do feel that three people cannot be wrong! ( Nikhat from Times,and another from a local newspaper )
I ws really cul.it materializes wid Darwin's Theory..survival of d fittest .its bout men who lived in prmitive times ..whtver u say , its on my fav list !
*eyebrow-raising* Geez !
I almost rolled on floor laughing ! Did she just say Darwin Theory ?!?! lol
I couldn't explain her that it isn't CUL. Specially bcoz you don't have mammoths
in deserts.I was too surprised for her to come up with biology !! To be on better side I just diplomatically said her..
"Ok fine if you liked it...it was nice , yup!"
Thank god I ended it up here or else she would have argued for 4 hours ! :D
As for the movie..I did feel like watching it after reading her "biological feedback"
#2#
Accounts paper.
I was engrossed in tallying the balance sheet.There was lot of a humming going on around the class.Our invigilator was funny.There were two basically.One of them was too loud & commented in a way that made the entire class giggle.The murmurers were growing strong enough to make the invigilator shout " aee ab awaz kiya toh bahar nikal doongi" ( If you shout now , u'll be kicked out).
And everyone chuckled.
There was a sudden weather change.It was hot when I had stepped into the coll.And now there was a cold breeze that made the windows crackle.This was the opportunity every examine waits for,lol.Almost everyone was peeping into his/her partner's paper or looking behind and asking for answer or calling the one sitting ahed.This happened during the middle of the 3 hr examination.Among all the chaos,my exam partner too wanted to take some advantage.As far as I could see ,she was making journal entries.And then she asked me " Hey Purchase account is debited or credited ?!? "
I was too shocked to reply.I was like you don't even know THAT much!!
She roared " what ?? Please tell me!! "
"Its debited ALWAYS" lol
How I wish I had said that its credited. Not because I wanted to confuse her more but because of the fact that she didn;t help me when I asked her 'bout my doubt.And for the record - I didn't ask her anything stupid ! But then its stupid to ask any any any bloody thing to a student who doesn't know whether purchase a/c is debited or credited!
I know during exams when you're nervous or hurried,you often forget what is to be written.But what she asked me ,I suppose,was the basic of accounts,lol.
Nevertheless,my paper didn;t go well.Not what I had anticipated.I was awake since 5 in morning ,and had closed my eyes for half n hour at 7.But to write a paper at 2.30 in afternoon when you had a sleep for only 5 hrs - its just too pesky! And by the last one hr of the exam , I felt so groggy that I could hardly write anything.I think I messed up a major part during that hour.
Next time onwards I'm gonna take 9 hour sleep before any of my exam - no matter whether I have to revise a Major chunk of the course or even go through main points!Though every time everyone has been asking me to have a good sleep before any exam ,I never considered it important enough. And in any case for students like me who study only @ the 11th Hour ..its ok to stay awake & give the exam - even if it means messing up the exam - much better than flunking ,huh ?

Every Dog has its day..
It's too late for me to write 'bout the joy of having cleared CPT ( CA entrance )
I was on a high specially because I didn't expect to pass.It was a 200 marks multiple choice question exam and the passing marks were 100. Guess what ? I scored 101 :D , lol [ 2nd attempt ]
And since then to whom-so-ever I express my happiness of clearing the exam would laugh or chuckle and show some kind of sympathy for the 101 marks. I obviously would have flunked if I would have scored just 2 marks less. But then instead of exclaiming "wow" - they do the "ohhh"
People had sympathy even when I had scored 96 in my first attempt.And I find that OK.I used to pity myself ! But what I find amusing is that they want to sympathize with 101 marks too ! Its like damned if you do , damned if you don't !
And not just that..some people actually gape when they hear 'bout me cracking the exam. *half shocked half surprised*
Sometimes I'm able to take such reactions because I know that my 12th board exams results were awful ! And I was now the official black sheep of my family.But I didn't know I was so highly under-estimated.
Nevertheless, I had my chance..I just had my day..and now I'm on the prefect track !
I was flying in air that day.And I am still happy.But more than me ,I think my dad's happy! He gives this news to his folks with a lot of pride and happiness.I feel obliged! ;)
Its been a dog's age after something really good has happened as far as my academics is concerned. And I'm getting over with the "black sheep" tag.
But I don't always enjoy the way dad would tell bout me. I don't like that attention.And I definately don't like sympathy.I don't like people who appreciate me just out of formality & are basically not very happy for me. And then there are many dog in the manger ! I really hate those kind of people.They themselves are big time losers , and they want to make everyone the same ! I'm sure they'll live a dog's life.
Honestly I'm a modest person.I'm obviously very happy.But this is just the start .I'm not CA as yet.I don't brag much.I don't like putting on the dog! .I would want all the limelight & attention when I have too many credits by my side.
But anyway,as long as my dad's happy - I'm ok with being praised ( at least till now ).But I'll make every effort not to give him a dog's chance to praise me for more than that I deserve!
And now on the last note - since I've been dogging the dog word - I'd want to talk 'bout the dog - a real dog ( no more phrases and idioms :P ) at my neighbours! He's a real pain. I don't even know what breed it is! What pisses me off is that it never stops barking or at least It HAS to bark when I'm studying or sleeping ! Get the Dog out of my place ! ( = Run the hell out my place you doggie )
:D
