Too many don't you think?

Once a friend of mine walked into class late, with a handbag that could fit nothing more than a pencil in it. Our professor stopped her and asked -

Prof - Is this how you come to college?
X - *blinks* huh? *Are my clothes torn?*
Prof - What are u carrying?
X - A bag.. *duh*
Prof - What's in it? Do you have any books at all? Where's your accounts book?
X - *confidently* Its in D's bike :D
Prof - And when will it walk from D's bike to your class?
X - *stumped* err..
Prof - What about your marketing notes?
X - We dont have marketing class
Prof - *Shit!* What about your management class notes?
X - Its with Y
Prof - If all your books are with others why the hell are you in class? And what is that excuse of a bag you're carrying? Get out!
X - *unlucky bag.. must get rid of it*

Since I travel by share auto, I see many women. I observe the way they accessorize, their clothes, hair-do, body language,etc.. I realized that many women carry a handbag, the size of brick. They carry their cell phone in their hands.. because the PM can call them anytime. Their lunch box in the other hand and an umbrella tucked into their armpit because it obviously cannot fit into the dumb bag. Oh! I forgot the 10x10 cm handkerchief forcefully shoved into one palm. Top it all, hands need to be free at regular intervals to adjust the dupatta.. Left side dupatta falling.. right side dupatta falling.. hair falling on face.. my my.. how many hands needed?

My question is - Why cant you just carry a bag big enough to put all your stuff in? Is it not fashionable?? Big bags are very 'In' aren't they? And with all your luggage you sit next to me acting as though I occupy a lot of space! Biladys

..p..

P.S - I wonder whats in the bag if almost everything is held in the hands..

Crushing II

For those of you who have read the post on 'Crushing', there are some updates.

When I almost gave up, contact was established.. and to a large extent so was mutual likey-ness.

But, what am I supposed to do when someone is too naive to understand not only the implications of my statements.. but his too!???

He's a kid.. a sweet one at that.. good looking too.. with the bouncy hair... and so innocent. These are hard to find.. Trust me!

But the naive-ness is killing me!

In a world where kids in Class I are familiar with the 'F' word and courtship begins at Class XI and subtle hints are understood effortlessly, this one is a misfit. Talk about being from the wrong planet!

Sigh...........

I dreamed a dream

All our inspirational leaders tell us to dream. You know.. the cliched "Dream big/Chase your dreams/Live your dreams" and what not. But, you see I have a problem. I dream when I am not required to dream. Confused? Let me explain. When you are attending a really boring class, you drift off and move into another dimension .. imagine that happens when u really need to be paying attention!

During the interview at my company
So Priya could you tell us about your work experience?
Me: Well certainly.. I started off as a management trainee in HCL..
(Thought bubble) *Oh our Noida trip was so much fun .. Wonder what X is doing now.. How will it be if we make a trip there now*
And uh... uh... yeah I was in the M&A dept...
----------
During aerobics class
Instrcutor - 1..2..3..4.. Free step..
Me: (Thought bubble) *Hey.. I am actually getting the steps.. I remember them too.. Btw what was yday's choreography? Need to get to work soon.. Maybe I should catch a movie this weekend. Sigh.. need to go the parlour this week*

By now my hands are legs have completely lost track of the sequence.. and I stand like a tree.. my feet planted firmly on the ground and I have been staring at nothing.

Instructor - C'mon Priya.. dont stop now .. you can do it.. c'mon c'mon..
Me: Huh.. waa??
------------

You see it?? What do I do now?? I day dream, night dream, evening dream,.. all dreams only..

To dream or not to dream to avoid embarassing situations.. is the big question.

POP! *Bubble burst*

Too many wedding bells.

Looks like girls and boys in my age-group are ripe as hell.

I am attending 7 weddings this month.. Not 1.. Not 2 but.. SEVEN! That's a lot! Everytime I get a a call from someone I barely talk to, I know he/she is calling to yell, "Hey .. Guess what.. I am getting married." I am like "Oh .. Congratulations.. What an unpredictable event!"

Every week I get atleast one mail saying "Another wedding to attend" or "Hi .. I would like to invite all of your for my wedding. Kindly consider this a personal invite and please make it". One girl in particular, who quite obviously didnt want me to attend her wedding sends me a mail like she is asking her manager for leave. "PFA my wedding invite".. who the hell says PFA for a wedding invitation?? Top it all the wedding's in Kerala and I get the invite a few days before the D-Day. Why'd you even PFA ur invite to me lady?

Recently I attended a wedding and met one of my college friends there.
She was like "Hi.. long time.. how're u?"
I notice that in her hand is a baby.
"Oh this is my son. he is one and half months old".
Me - Telling myself *This is a dream.. wake up*. "
"Did you know X is pregnant with her second baby?"
Me - Telling myself *This is not a dream.. its a nightmare. WAKE UP*

Now after the mating, breeding has begun too. (Thats very crude.. but what the hell)

Everytime I attend a wedding, for a second I think "Am I lagging behind?" Then the assurance steps in "This is one race in which I dont mind coming last" :-)

Random Weekend Updates

• My parents were outta town this weekend and I did absolutely nothing. I must be the oldest and most boring 24 year-old in the world. Dont talk to me.. else my boring 'ness' might catch onto u (assuming its contagious)
• My sis-in-law is pregnant. She's a walking timebomb. My nephew/niece might arrive pretty soon :-) . She keeps giving me gory details about her pregnancy. Feels like a trailer to my future. The wonder of life.. yeah whatever.. Its scary.. Mommy! :O
• I got reminded of my weird fantasy while watching the Chennai Super Kings play. I want Matthew Hayden to carry me :-) I am sure he can carry me effortlessly, with one hand and throw me like a frizby. I am not sure about wanting to be thrown like a frizby though.
• My new fetish is baby clothes for the little one. Oh I cant wait for him/her to be born!!!!! woohoo!
• My mom thinks I am 5 years-old. She still doesn't leave me alone at home! (This kind of contradicts my first point)
• I didn't realize salwar shopping is this hard! Either its too simple or too gaudy or not in my color or not in my price range or looks like someone swallowed chumkies and puked all over the fabric.
• Bored of eating food outside
• I have decided to drink atleast 2 litres of water everyday. Even if nature calls atleast every half hour :-(
• My house is an oven

Invitation for friendship

Got this one just a few minutes back.

Hai, I am ajaya. I want to develope friendship with you.

What does he expect me to say?
"Dear Ajaya, Yes! I will co-operate in developing friendship with you too. When can we start the development process? And what about the testing stage? Shall we have an initial dry-run? Also I would like to discuss the cost-benefit details."

They never quite get the right pick-up line :P
I am not saying they totally suck at it.. I just remembered that I fell for one and fell really deep too :D
