Please leave me alone..please!!

It was 27 feb..1989 and I was this small,little boy who was the topper of his school.Studying was all that mattered to me.My parents,friends and relatives were all proud of me.The village which I hailed from was also extremely proud of me.(The only time it was so proud of someone was when Ramu scared the hell out of the campaigning politicians.Ramu,then became the fav dog of the village after chasing them out of the village.Unfortunately,it died of the several bites it recieved from one of the politicians).Teachers at school felt they were privileged to have me as their student.Life was a bed of roses....but then something happened..something terrible.I was on my way to the school but did not reach there that day,I instead found my way to the bottom of what seemed to be a bottomless pit.One side of my head got injured.Doctors felt that only one part of my brain would function properly and how true they were!Its only my right brain that functions properly now.Give me a brush and four strokes of it on a canvas..and voila-a wonderful piece of modern art!Its only my left brain thats causing problems.I cannot remember a word of what I have crammed last night.All the midnight oil and the 101 cups of tea have gone down the drain(no..I`m not referring to my stomach as the drain here..although people I know would beg to differ!)Even my ability to remember which 'chit' I have placed in the various shirt pockets has severely taken a beating.My acads are horrible now and I`m now popular for reasons like standing first in the lemon-and-spoon race,snakes-and-ladders etc.
It has been a struggle since then.Standing first in the history tests has been a thing of the past.Maths has always been a mystery.So has been chemistry.Mensuration and Menstruation were topics I could never understand.I just want everybody to know the truth and stop making fun of me.All I need is a little time and lots of vodka to start doin well again.(heard that vodka taken everyday helps the left-brain grow faster)Till then,no comparing with the others and stop making fun of me.
P.S:Can any girl here help me understand Chemistry better?

The 4-year holiday called engineering

< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
20 things common to all engg colleges:
1). The lecturers dont teach.The students dont study.The only guy who benefits is the one who owns the 'dhaba' next to the college.
2).Rules are made to be broken.
3).Promises are made to be broken.
4).Deadlines are made to be extended...ALWAYS!
5).Guys always think the chics in the college next lane are more beautiful.
5).The geeks are the most pampered lot during the internal exams.
6).The lab assistants are the most respected people(during the lab exams i.e)
7).The watchmen are the people most bribed.
8).The HOD is the person most respected(heights of sycophancy here).
9).The principal is the person most abused and insulted(behind the back i.e)
10).Dropping subjects is 'cool'.(arre yaar..drop the idea of dropping subjects plzz).
11).There is always a lecturer in the college who cant speak proper 'english'.
12).Night-out is the second most important tool to ace the exams.
13).The most important tool..the bhramastra..is the 'chit' in which the words can be understood only the person who wrote them(in most of the cases i.e)
14).The freshers are the most sought after..be it in the canteen,the 'free' periods or for completing the records,assignments.
15).The second-years are the ones with the 'I am the don-of-the-college' feeling.
16).The third years are the ones with the 'so-many-backlogs' feeling and the poor
souls get down to studying after bossing around in the college for so long.but the fun still continues.(I gave 22 exams last year!!).
17).The fourth years have no connection with the college whatsoever...with no interest in ragging,pulling each other`s legs,the bday parties,the bday bums et al which they enjoyed so much till now.All they want is a good placement and a '1st-class' tag attached to their memo.
19).The first three years are spent in cursing the college,the people there,the system et al.
20).But towards the end of the fourth year,people tend to feel nostalgic abt the pure unadulterated fun they have had for 4 years.Now the very system they disliked,the very canteen they cursed,the time that they spent there,the bday bums they suffered..all these seem like heaven to them.
To me personally,engg has been great fun(2 more months to go though)..its been a 4 year holiday to me..rarely studied,but had lots and lots of fun.The college was awful alrite but the memories I`ll take back,the frnds that I have made here and the first-class degree that I`ll obtain soon(:D) will be cherished by me..always.
These certainly were 'the best days' of my life.
cheers

The world hasnt changed!!
chotacyrus | 5 February 2005, 10:11am
Sick of hearing oldies say again and again that the world has changed,I decide to find out if the world has really changed.I thought over it and came to the conclusion that it isnt that bad....found 13 reasons....forgot 7 of them.So here are the remaining five:
1).My dog doesnt bark at me when it is given breakfast at the right time.thank god, pets still love us!
2).The so-called dog menace.I walk into the balcony and see abt 7-8 dogs fighting. Now,who said dogs are a menace to the society?The poor things were fighting it out to woo the female in the group.Now hasnt mankind fought wars,lost kingdoms for women?The 10093 movies that were made in Bollywood in the last 6 years prove my point beyond doubt.And didnt someone say "Everything's fair in love and war".
3).The autowallahs.And people here think the autowallahs are out to loot us.The poor fellows want us to pay few extra bucks than the actual 'meter' fare.Now,this is what makes others think the autowallahs here are bad.Its only when I wanted to know the reason,that one fellow told me that his meter does not work properly and he obviously cant earn less than what he is supposed to!.And some autos dont have a 'meter' attached.And ppl still think the drivers are wrong!
4).The quality of education.The **** grammer school..yes u read it right..its **** grammer school((which is very close to the place I stay and has abt 200 students studying in it).Now,how do u expect the principle to know the correct speeling of
'grammar'.he himself studied in that school and was taught like that.full of speeling mishtakes..chee!
5).oops!forgot the 5th one!!< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
But there`s one thing I didnt like at all..people reading blogs and not leaving a comment.When u have spent so much time reading,why dont u drop in a comment??
cheers
