going 360 degrees...

so dis post is entirely 'on demand' by a frd....
i never thought i ll move out of delhi... for any reason... but den its not always the way u think... i got married .. and my destiny took me to a no man's land 'capital of gujarat' and its not ahmedabad... so coming from delhi to such a small place was indeed a shock...
thgs tht startled (read drove me nuts)me-

1. peacocks, monkeys, cat,snakes is a normal view in the garden.. all sorts of birds hop in..one can often see cattle too...
2. no concept of home delivery.. they gave me the most blank look....
3. for no rhyme or reason ppl go out at night..and sit at the road side pavements...pavement is still better... wat if i say they sit on the divider....
4. the overhyped garbha thg... it didnt impress me at all... all of them dance the same... in circle.. they go round an round....
5. no traffic.. and no driving sense... its easier to drive in delhi anyday...
6. no mall (go 35 km and u ll have one) whr in delhi its just 5 minutes drive from whr i stay...
7. No pizza hut..no McD... these are basics i m talking bout...

but then everythg has its positive side... from 58 i came down to 50... but then in a world of ppl dieting to lose weight... u have me who started having three glasses of milk in a day to increase the weight.. being thin didnt suit me at all... and the reason being... i or the world fainted couple of times... so now me all smiling at 55...

but soon i strtd liking the place..nevertheless i enjoy my own company... and i feel if u cant enjoy ur own company u cant enjoy anythg else.. it certainly gave me chance to know my self better...but den u learn to push the envelope a little more... and thats life!!!...

"madam ji, are u on aarkut!!! "

so finally the much hyped exam of mine is over... i did my best.. rest is to be taken care by the divine...anyways it was on 23rd..
so now the story... in the middle of the exam i heard someone calling my name.. but then i was like,hows that possible no one recognizes me here .. so i ignored it and continued scribbling...

after the 1st half of the exam was over.. the guy sitting behind me was like... "madam ji... mains ki tayyari kijiye...ye to ho hi jayega aapka." ... i just said thks wid a blank look... but i was kinda uncomfortable..
now thr was a break from 11:30 to 2:30... i moved to a nearby guest house... took my lunch and and studied a bit... and went back...
everyone was already settled by then... to my surprise... the same guy went like "abhilasha.... ji .. aa gaye aap"..god knows wen he scanned my admit card... including the address too..anyways wen i turned back .. his series of questions started off for which he was giving the answers also.....

1.kya karte hain aap??...
bade office mein kaam karte honge...

2. yahan ke to nahi lag rahe.???
hindi achhi bol rahe hain..

3.coaching le rahe hain.??
le hi rahe honge... magar humein time nahi milta...

i was kinda pissed... bt then i was like why to spoil the mood just before second half of the paper..wen its obvious u meet all kind of ppl..in all shapes and sizes...
finally the exam got over..just before i was about to leave he popped up another question... "madam ji...!! are u on aarkut!!! "

eventful yet not so eventful day,,

its been almost more then a yr... but still wen i m reminded of one of the most eventful day of my life i really get goosebumps..

day 1-

wen i visited my parents i made a plan to catch up wid my hostel frds just before the day i was leaving for ahmedabad... and not just dis.. i thought of reliving the days so i asked my brother to gimme the keys of his apartment which was close to my college(hostel) but kinda far from my place..after many questions he agreed... and "all gals night out "was drafted by ME.."

day 2-thgs which messed up
1. i had a terrible headache...but since i made the plan i cudnt say no and ruin it....
2. my car broke down .. the car ride was included in reliving the days...
3. i almost cursed them to say yes to my plan...

event1- all the five of us were suppose to catch up at a market place..and from thr we were to head towards the flat.. since they thought that i ll be certainly coming by the car they bought hell lot of stuff... and wen i told them that the car broke down..they were like.. "mazaak mat kar.. bata kahan parked hai".. but wen i assured them about it ...trust me they almost murdered me...
anyways.. since they cudnt do anythg after giving me all sorts of appreciating wrds we headed towards the flat...

scene2-now it was only three of us.. the other two had some wrk.. so we got ourselves packed into an auto and moved towards the extreme side of the city...

(and thruout all this.. i was having a severe head ache.. even after taking two disprins it was thr..)

scene3- we reached the apartment.... we thought of ordering a meal from the same place whr we always used to get it from "the chawlas" (very cheap and very good food.. esp' kadhai paneer ) .. since thr was no water we asked him to get water also..

scene4- he got the food but he just forgot about the water...so i asked one of my frds to stay back.. and two of us went hunting for water.. wen i came back... I HAD A SHOCK OF MY LIFE... she locked herself from inside accidently... and was crying... and i had no clue whr the keys were... i asked her not to panic.. i just cudnt shout at her coz she was also my senior in the college ... and we call her 'mam'... as per the college protocol...

i called the watchman.. but that **&&@@.. started asking me hundred questions... i asked him to get lost then... hostel expertise came handy here... since the flat had two entrance.. i broke the lock of the other door (tools - hammer and pestle; courtesy 'sweet neighbours').. one three shots and it was open.... and i asked her "mam.. try to karo... it ll open"...but it was jammed... but she somehow managed... and the door got opened...

a really good scolding from my brother... and its beyond imagination to wat all he said to me... he had a very good laugh (aur banao plan..,women power).. as he was against this PLAN ... forget the night out.. forget the head ache.. forget the meal... i felt like kicking both of them.. especially the one inside...

i just dozzed off.. and prayed to god... "is din ko ab kam exciting kar do shri mataji... bahut hua"... a day that i can never ever forget...

and i thought...

and i thought that its only me who is publicising that i wasnt well... but i have recently found that mu mom in law is indeed doing a very good job... the entire state knows bout it.. who so ever is meeting me is asking bout my health... to be honest u like it wen u r not well and ppl ask bout u.. but trust me it gets way too much wen everyone meeting u talks bout it...
and now from "hamari abhilasha bimar ho gayi hai" its "hamari abhilasha bimar ho gayi thi " and the publicity is on and on and on...
everyone is giving me wholesome advices.. and look at me... i m making fun of them.... and it goes like...
1. beta aaram karo padhai to hoti rahegi..
2. nahi thoda bahar niklo.. "badminton" khelo achha lagega...
3. nazar lagi hai tumhe.. utarwa lo...
4. and the last one... hota hai aise hi nothing much to do bout it..(and giggling for no rhyme or reason...)..... this hota hai aise thg irritates me.... plz stop assuming ppl.. if its thr it certainly pops out..

well... the news is im ok now... "ok"... i certainly need some more rest..and i ll be sorted...amen!!!
