High Time I thanked

Its just one of those days .. when I dont feel like doin nything worthwhile .... those days are oh - quite a many .... but still ... its one of those days ...

and then i remember my happy times back home ... and appa, amma ....
then, i realise, i owe so much to my parents for reasons so many ..... and also decide to write them down .... what if i go down with Alzhemiers some day ... and I never manage to tell my parents how much I love them and how thankful I am to them :) ...... its always safer to have it written down ..... can never trust tommorrow (sigh) ...

Making my list as short (and maybe sweet too) as it can get ...

Appa .... I owe u so much ...

• For just being my appa, ur the best paa in the world
• For giving me a short surname .... it saved me great pains while filling the passport application form ...... wonder how u knew bfore hand tat i'll be a lazy kid .... ur simply gr8
• For the wonderful long walks we had ...... something i miss lots and lots now
• For the horrible stock of PJs u had ..... so much so ... I had to tickle my soles to manage a snicker .... loved them nevertheless 'cause it was ur PJs :)
• For all those mornings when you let me sleep for the extra 5 mins ..... instead of forcing me to get ready and go to the boring morning classes at school .....

Amma .... I owe u so much ...

• For just being my amma, ur the best maa in the world (ever hrd of copy paste huh???:D)
• For making the yummiest bisi-bele-bath ..... yum yum .... and tomato saaru too
• For calling me with all those meaningless pampering names ..... i wud still luv to hear them now :(
• For always cleaning up my dirty deskspace when I left for school\college\work in a hurry with my famous excuse tat I was getting late :D
• For actually waking me up in the mornings when appa failed to .... else, I wud hav never made it to school on any day, thereby flunking school, and wud hav never made it to pre-university, and never made it to engg college, and never made it to my masters here ... (gasp) .... paa ... maybe i shd remove the thank-u note frm the list 'bove ....

I know u 2 are the ppl I can turn to even if the whole world turns against me .... love u lots ...

keep loving me the same :) .... i know u will ...

Exam fever can drive nyone nuts!!!

On a boring and surprisingly sunny afternoon, poor me is left all by myself ….. and to do wat?? Study for exam(s) on Monday ….. after failed attempts to go beyond 2 chapters in one subject, I realize I need a break ….. the 14th one since morning, but never mind … my almost inconspicuous and rusted grey cells need to relax …

And then there occurs this story ….
Characters:
Nir - the humble me
Nir’ - no no – not superposition …. Shes the Gemini twin of Nir …

More ‘bout Nir’ - multi-faceted….evil, pretentiously good, heavily sarcastic and ever interrupting the studious, hardworking Nir :D

Conversation between the two:
Nir’ – knock knock
Nir – yaaru? (who?)
Nir’ – its me duffer …. Ur twin ….
Nir – my twin!!! U mean ur like the one who comes out of inner self clad in white and talks to u like across a non-existent mirror …. (I marvel at my learnings frm hindi movies)
Nir’ – if u can say so ….. nyways .. wassup?
Nir – nothing much …. Trying HARD to study for Mondays exam .. er … exams

Nir – wats life without hope !!! but I’m trying … tats not too bad rite?
Nir’ – liar!!! U know very well ur not trying … how many times did u open ur inbox to check for mails, how many times did u check yahoo messenger?? And how many times did u break for hunger??
Nir – I’m not gud at numbers, so I’ll ignore the questions :P
Nir’ – gud try, but alas … I’m smarter ……. U need to study …. It’s EXAM … ur supposed to take it seriously …
Nir – I must say ur really polite and encouraging… …… does being optimistic help?
Nir’ – it always helps …… enumerate ur optimism …
Nir – I’m optimistic tat the profs will be really sleepy wen they are correctin my paper…. So they’ll just mark me full marks and go to sleep with the satisfaction tat they dint destroy a students career by being strict on the correction :D
Nir’ – ur a hopeless case ….. so u wont study then …
Nir – I dint say tat
Nir’ – wokay, how was ur Survey Paper???
Nir – hmm……not really gr8 …
Nir’ – and hows ur TOC assignments goin?
Nir – thanks to my kind grader …. Whoz supposed to be “Gods Gift to USU” …. It looks quite bad till now …
Nir’ – and inspite of all this, ur wasting time huh??? I appreciate ur guts …
Nir – oh stop it - will u?? …… I will start studying PROPERLY sometime later … sometime soon ..
Nir’ – I wudnt believe u even if u were the last creature alive on the planet …
Nir – thanks … ur the sweetest
Nir’ – better study or u’ll hav to face the consequences ….. u need to get decent grades or face Don …
Nir – which Don?? Cooley or Sujji?
Nir’ – gud question … oh am I happy theres some thinking left in u …. Well I was referring to cooley here
Nir – alrite …. I will do something ….

(And goes on hopefully to completion …)
