Khundak !!

Is an understatement of what I feel right now. My car just got sandviched between two cars and for no fault of mine.

Feel like !@#$%^&*

Getting mehndi (henna) done for Karvachauth

I remember when I was a kid, my mother used to haggle with the mehndi wala to do the job for Rs. 5 per hand instead of the usual Rs.10. And today when I went out to get the same thing done, I was quoted Rs.100 per hand !! I almost laughed like crazy at the very thought that a decade that passed by meant 10 times the usual price. My dad would have told me to get back home and do it myself, and thank god that he wasnt around when I asked for the rate.

Little champs on ZEE tv

I have been watching this musical show for kids for a while now. And been following the performance of Diwakar for a long time. For those who are completely ignorant of this programme, let me just give you a brief introduction.

Diwakar sharma is a student of DPS R K puram delhi and has been in this programme since the very beginning. I would hate to mention it here in his introduction that he is visually challenged as for me it really doesnt make any difference. I guess a month back he was ruled out on the basis of poor performance and was brought back due to public voting.

I am not a kiddo!!

Even though the people around me would love to believe it otherwise.

As far as I can remember I have always heard people calling me one. Nobody ever stopped to notice that I really wasnt one. Not anymore. And this whole drama actually makes me angry like hell… and then again they reclaim…. “You are a kiddo !!”

How the hell on earth am I ever supposed to prove that I am not one? Will they ever agree?? I doubt.

Why do I even bother? Why do I even write this post?

Pathetic administration of Delhi University colleges

I have completed three degrees, one bachelors and two masters, from Delhi University and I have got a taste of thier pathetic administration way too much.

Firstly, they dont work on saturdays, which effectively is an off for most people who are working. And ofcourse for them as well. So getting your work done on saturdays is a straight No-No, completely out of the question. Then on weekdays they are officially supposed to work till 5 pm.

Now for people like me who work, and need to get their work done at one of these north campus colleges, making it before 5pm is an agenda in itself, leave alone the concern and effect of distance involved on your pocket (petrol bill !!).

Standing apart from crowd…. wont help

Standing apart from the crowd doesnt necessarily become a beneficial proposition. And I had a taste of it myself.

While my colleagues enjoyed, I did stuff to keep my students happy.

My loss…. staying awake a lil longer, doing overtime.
My gain… I dunno….I am not at all a true “mahajan”.

Maybe its high time I start looking for my gains than to bother about others. Atleast the examples around me show that it works well and keeps people happy.

So my advice to all you people… gel in the crowd and vanish away :)

Flavour of the month?

It irritates me as much as it hurts me when I see people moving on with life oh-so-quickly with a snap of a finger.

Its like people are like flavours and they just keep changing the flavour. Kal koi aur thi… aaj koi aur… kal koi aur hogi..Using one to get over the other….

So who is the flavour of the month??

I hate it…it sucks !!

Addicted to Shopping

If I could have my way, I would wear a new set of clothes every day. I have a neat (read huge) collection but I still insist that I can make room for a few more. And these big malls do nothing but contribute to this misery of mine. :cry:

Despite the fact that I bought 4 suits from Westside last week, today when I entered the same store again, I could eye atleast 3 more that I can buy and still feel I should (and most probably I will !!). :grin:

I have to admit, I am simply addicted to shopping for clothes.
There… I just said it !!
