Clumsy

I never actually explained why clumsy is my middle name..did i?
Of course, for the three people who do read this blog, there needs be no explanantion, but on the off chance that others will come and see it, ill explain anyway.

I have a record of falling down atleast once in a month.
Before i came along, it wasnt possible to trip on thin air.
I have sprained both my ankles atleast five times..each. Im not lying, ask my mom.
I hate the way people tell me to walk like a girl (I obviously dont, people have compared me to ducks, and the ducks always win), coz when i do - I FALL.

THIS IS WHY I DONT LAUGH AT CLUMSY PEOPLE.
I, WHO LAUGHS SO EASILY.

He who laughs last, is a moron and gets stared at. He who falls get stared at more.

Coffee

I love coffee..
I was at Barista yesterday..let me tell you now..barista serves yucky coffee, noone knows how to make coffee like vimala aunty :)
I went to Barista to meet a friend and hence to convince myself that i do have a social life.
Even though the coffee was bad, the smell of it transported me mentally to vimala aunty's house.
To a time where i would go for tuition..and me and chillu would happily gabble for forty minutes before taking a break. We'd go to the terrace, and watch the water..look for exciting ships...
feel the breeze on our faces..
And then come back down and gabble for another hour before i was picked up by my mom.
All the while we'd be sipping coffee..and munching Peanuts..or what mallus call 'mixture'.

I loved tose times. Wish we could be back in school..pretending to study math.

Question

Can you be a Dog Person and a Cat Person at the same time?

I HATE IIFT

So..im back this theme..
I really do hate this place..
consider this - im in class.listening to disconnected words like "pool" "talent" "feedback" and "systems" resounding in my head..
ok, ok..in the class room , not in my head.
There is no place near IIFT where I can get Coffee.
People dont talk about anything but placements.
The only things u can do in Delhi is - Eat out, watch movie out, Watch movie in room.
The mess food sucks. Im still in denial of North Indian Food.
Noone sings or dances.
It doesnt rain, theres no monsoon..and PEOPLE HATE WHAT LITTLE RAIN THEY HAVE.

Whatever happened to dancing in the rain?
what hapened to singing??
For that matter, what happened to supper?
And why dont people think beyond their jobs?

BACK

So, we're back at iift with pretty much nothing to do.

We have a lecture on soft skills for entrepreneurs tomorrow. And weve received preparatory notes. This is what it looks like.

CASE SUBJECTS

Mr.Anil something or the other
Company : XXXXXX
Email address: lihfoughibkfbf
Adress: Boondocks - new delhi

and so on................


PS: Class test on 3rd july.


I wonder what were supposed to do. Match the address with the name?? match telephone numbers with surnames???

IIFT does this to us a lot of the time.


Im terrified of math - forgive me those who have read other posts. The statistics exam in my first trimester was declared an open book exam. I , for one, heaved a sigh of total relief. Coz i knew there was no way i was going to pass the exam otherwise.

I walked into the examination room with my arm full of papers, books with post-its on them, colour coded page numbers etc. the exam started. I looked at the question paper, and realised something.

IIFT IS OUT TO TRICK ME. I THOUGHT OPEN BOOK WOULD MEAN THAT THE QUESTIONS WERE IN SOME VAGUE WAY RELATED TO WHAT WAS IN THE BOOKS?!!

Apparently not.


PS: People claim that the questions did come from the book - distantly.
I only wish to dispense this warning.
*Do not belive in people who claim they havent studied. Do not belive in open book Exams. And most of all, you have the right to sue the institute and students for mental trauma.*

THE PICTURE

The picture that you see, i consider a pretty accurate representation on myself.
(of course, the beers just for show..yes amma, its just for show)

The overalls - i love overalls, i once had a pair of florescent orange overalls that i would wear to junior college. Now thinking back, i probably looked like the sweepers at the airport, but i loved it all the same. These overalls caused a prof to notice that i was bunking once. He called me and said " i saw your funny dress, why didnt u come to class?"

The cap. I love caps too. I once went to shivaji market in bangalore and bought a cap/beret/shapeless object off a thela for Rs.10 . Sadly though, amma made me throw it away.

PLUS
People tell me i smile too much. I laugh too much. For all you people out there who have ever said that to me - i dont consider that a valid objection - to anything.
The background is just - cool.
And the beer is just for show.
