world doesn't let me study!

Scene 1:

All freaked out considering the mammoth balanced portion of land laws, I wake up at 7 am, but weird desires of internet bind me and thus refrain me from reaching my study table till 9 am. But by 9.10 am, my studies are in full swing!

Scene 2:

Its 10 am and nanny calls up! Mom and nanny have a fight and being a good son, I have to hear the story and do the consoling. By the time the drama ends, it's already 11.15 am. Then I think of checking my scraps on orkut for just 5 minutes and I realize that its 11.55 am in 5 bloody minutes! Shocked to the core I confirm my plans with R to meet up in the library by 1 pm. Plans confirmed, I depart in time.

Scene 3:

Reach college by 1.15 pm. It's 4 pm and I am still studying! Just when it seems life is going to rock and I'm going to kick ass in land laws, in steps A! Now A is extremely helpful, nice female, but there's something like being "over-helpful"and she is just that, which makes her real pain in ass! Then there's R who keeps teasing me, "A likes you yaa"! And all I can offer R is a finger! But R never quits! So after 30 minutes of lecture from Miss. A, me and R get back to studies!

Scene 4:

It's 5 pm and sun is setting, so sun rays reach me and R, and we both switch places when heat gets unbearable! My efforts to tell R to strip so she can bear the heat better go in vain as now she gives me the finger! At 5.30 pm A steps in with her gang of 15 friends and noise fills the classroom! Irritated by the screams of especially A, I tell R to shift from there but stubborn R just wouldn't move. Irritated, I shift to the original seats and A follows me! "Grrrrrr... "I shout as R starts laughing to the extent that she falls from her chair!

Scene 6:

It's 6.30 pm and land laws has really taken it's toll on me. I go to R and tell her, "Let's go for a walk yaa, am bugged". R again acts stubborn, "Lemme just get done with this chapter and then we'll go". But then R gets my I-Pod and tells me the story of the Makheija guy of Demonic Resurrection, who's her boy-friend's good bud, and by the time the story gets over and me and R decide to get back to law, its 7.15 pm and the lights go out!

Scene 7:

Determined to study, R and I head to the adjacent MBA college campus to study in the canteen. We reach the canteen and our hungry stomachs satisfy themselves first and then the books come on the table!

Update:
In between my dear friend Raghu did bug me with 6 SMSes in a row! I had to reply to receive all of them which cost me Rs.2! Raghu, you owe me 2 bucks dawg!

Suddenly it's 7.30 pm and the waiter tells us that they are closing down! Frustrated, R and I walk outta the canteen and sit on the staircases wondering what to do, where to go and study!

Scene 8:

R sketches a plan. "If only we can snoop in this college." "Dudette! If we get caught, we will get screwed! We don't even belong to this college!" I warn her, but R says, "Let's try na!" . So both of us somehow give a slip to the watchman and get in the college. We walk in as if we know the area (when we both have never been in that building before). "We'll just see na where all the students are sitting and we'll sit there", come R's expert advice! "Yeah!" I dumbly reply (R is too cute to say "No" okay!!). So me and R go upstairs but all rooms are occupied. A peon asks us what we want and I say, "The study room". He asks, "The second floor one?" Me and R not having the slightest of ideas where the study room is, innocently say "Yes". "Ah, go from here", he directs us. We head to second floor and find there are no lights there and a small light comig from a distant room. Me and R head towards it and are stunned by the sight! "Shit! He thought we are here to make-out!" R shouts. We both run outta the college building laughing our heads off and are rather embrassed! "Well, we should've made out at least yaa", I told R and R said, "Yeah! What a waste that we aren't a couple!" Laughing we went our own ways!

Scene 9:

I'm home and the college in front of my building is playing the crappiest music at the loudest volumes as they are having some function there! So I switch on the PC and type this shit out! Land laws will have to wait!

Chapter 2.1 - 7th-C

Innocent Days: Part - II

7th C is remembered by me for numerous reasons:
1) the awesome classroom - perhaps the best classroom the school had back then
2) one of my close pals went missing
3) my fall from grace
4) the slap
5) my mouthing of swear word for the first time
and finally..
6) the start of "M" factor!

I was grim that day, A had gone missing and I really was stunned! Strong possibilities of his death been so publicly discussed were driving me nuts. Then Mandy had suddenly changed from my best and only friend to a mere bastard! Now I was left searching for a friend! C was ever-ready to lend me his hand, but God I hated him! So while I was fighting this loneliness, teacher announced, "We have to do some shuffling of places. This year a new policy has been introduced - You will have the same partner alright, but so that back benchers don't stay backbenchers forever, there is going to be a rotation policy, everyday you will be moving one bench back and you would also be shifting row-wise! Therefore after one rotation is complete, you would be changing rows!"

I was placed with Hairy A (H-A from here on)! He revealed to me that he had always been inspired by me as I never left my 2nd rank and still did amazingly well in drawing and craft exams! This really left me confused and proud! Ah crap! People actually worked for drawing and craft exams! So he was my big fan, but he was a total pest!

I scanned and found this new face in my class! "She's M", Mandy2's chaavi!" H-A quickly told me! A quick look at Mandy2 and "How?????" I shot back at H-A! H-A started laughing. "No yaar, he's just crazy about her, woh usko bhav nahi deti!" I was relieved! It is somehow heartening to see all the fellows with you are suffering as much as you, even one satisfied goat kills the human in you and makes you wanna steal all that is his! Or so was I of the attitude back then!I looked at M, oh she was beautiful! Her hair seemed amazing! And her soft skin! She was really cute! She hardly talked to anyone in the class and her silence seemed to cry out so much! She wanted to scream, I could feel it, her eyes just gave it away, but she was gagged! She seemed to be fighting some internal war with the world! All this without a single exchange of word, all this without a single exchange of glance, but all this cause the beautiful her had just got stuck in my head! The moment I entered the class my eyes would go on hunting for M! The crush had gone overboard and I had become too damn crazy about a person I hadn't even talked to, and all this in just one week of seeing her!

Then the most awaited day came when our benches were placed in such a way that M was going to sit right ahead of me and this would go on till the exams! I finally had my chance! All day long I used to lie low on the desk smelling her beautiful hair that sweetly wiped the desk-dust! I let the hair lay undisturbed on my notebook and promptly stop writing the notes, H-A realised I am going crazy and he used to give those dirty "I-know-and-I-am-gonna-kick-your-ass" kinda smiles! Now this was frustrating, but H-A weirdly never opened his mouth! (By the end of the third week, I am sure even he had fallen for her) But I never had the courage to start a conversation with M, and now I wish I had; had I done so, my life would have been so different and even hers!

All was going smoothly, I was still seated behind M and M was still avoiding Mandy2 and Mandy2 was still planning to kill himself if she doesn't fall for him and I was still hoping that this would happen; and my future looked all so sweet as Ms. M seemed destined to become Mrs. MSN (although not a word was exchanged and just once or twice a glance was passed). But then came the exams and what followed post-exams was totally unforeseen!

Innocence no more...!
