Sitting Waiting Wishing

For December 15 to come!! And for me to rush back to Gurgaaaon!! And meeteatshoproamlive...
Till then, it's submissions, submissions...and yet some more submissions...
OB assignments that I can't comprehend
FinMan quizzes that make my head spin
OpsMan classes that make me feel like puking

They'd said 2nd term would be hard. It's not hard...its mind numbingly boringirritatingfrustrating...

Where's the rest of the junta gone...

$*%# off!

The candles burnt.....but the aura remained.

bought a laptop but the shipment got delayed by a week....blew up money on repairing my old pc but that didn't help....fought with friends....slipped twice on my bike....almost died, driving towards a big truck that came out of nowhere in the dark....the tyre burst and I had to walk for kilometers at a stretch....stuck in work about which I do not have the slightest clue....deadlines cut down by 60%....sleepless nights....and they say that a great year starts along with every birthday.

Interesting.

Diwali used to be Diwali back then.
Candles. Sweets. Gifts. Lights. Crackers. And all the fun.
Slowly and steadily we struck off one item after the other.
Diwali turned out to be just-another-holiday when it’s compulsory to take a bath.

But this Diwali was different.
Even though I was as usual left out – all alone – at home, that didn’t stop me from having fun.

First up, my PC went into flames (actually!)
It would easily have been the winner in the Best Home made Videos Ever! series. So there I was, with flames coming out of my machine, trying to blow it off using all the wind power in my lungs. With my first-hand experience, I can guarantee you that a burning PC may be a costly affair but it’s surely worth the fun :-)

Next up, my evil mind made me watch a crap (read – Om Shanti Om) on the Diwali night. Yes! The actual Diwali night – right after the pooja, when people go out and burst crackers and exchange sweets – I was there, holed up inside a theatre with the mall wearing a spooky deserted look, getting myself tortured.

You just can’t imagine it. You have to be there to get that feeling.

And on the top of that, Om Shanti Om!!!
Damn! We know that we like meaningless Govinda-type films. But secrets like these are to be kept hidden inside the closet. You don’t go out and declare it to the world, making a mockery of yourself and your fellow artists.

But, as they say – agar happy ending nahi hui toh samajh lo ki picture abhi baaki hain, mere dost (If there is no happy ending, then remember that the film is still not over) or something like that :-( (since it’s a quote from Om Shanti Om, I’m sure that people will overlook my ignorance).

Thus wishing that this extended weekend ends on a happy note.

p.s. I'm sure that even zz9 celebrated in style ;-)

Deadlier than the deadliest!

So, here we are - our annual winter hibernation mode.
With zz9 & marvin starting off with their (Am)-(Be)-A and bertie finishing his.
And with, madmita disappearing in thin air.
Am I the only one alive :(
