...am custom- made for the entertainment industry!!

...that i don't even have to try hard!! so not only is yours truly a light sleeper...but also talks in her sleep...arbitrary ramblings...(until not so long ago i used to walk in my sleep...but i guess nature decided to sober me down coz otherwise the turn of events would have been too dramatic for this world to handle)

so..am sleeping..hit peak stage of dreams at precisely 10.30 p.m (yes..yes..i have a boring night life)..and then it's Lights! Camera! Action!!

The first night i am rambling something in Tamil which left my roomie looking pale the next morning..coz she had never seen someone talk so animatedly in her sleep...

few more nights...and she would wake me up to a dry "you were yelling again last night..." instead of a smiley "good morning!!"

the night before micro..apparently i was at my act again...and this time...my roomie decides to join in...
Excerpts from the conversation
Me: no no...buy only one banana..
Roomie: Why?
Me: Because he is selling only one banana per head and if you buy one you can share it with her..
End fo conversation coz my roomie and her friend were in splits while i was blissfully asleep muttering something about Eigen Values (this should make you grin shreya and arjun) this time...

the only thing i am grateful about is that my roomie is untouched by the commercial world outside the North East..else she would have been selling tickets for the freak show every night...

Moral of the Story: When starved of entertainment learn to do it yourself!!

What could be worse than not being able to comprehend the object of my affection??

am a little sad today...inside...

am overwhelmed by the flood of comments...including Fx guy who has been spamming my comments column...(i owe it to you dude...at least you make me seem popular amongst those who might be blog surfing and rank me as a popular blog only coz i have 9 comments to a post)

meanwhile..on the pune front...you think we mumbaiites would spare the delhiites..to everything they criticise...we have just one answer, " oh this is how we do it in our part of the country...oh once again..where did you say you are from? oh wait a minute..isn't that the rape capital of the country?" and the silence that follows is sadistically all of ours to enjoy...

on a personal front...23 years of existence and i have realised that i have fallen in love with a subject that i might scarce be able to master in the near future...i have just declared war on math and am in no mood to raise the white flag as yet...

someday when i will be commissioned to write my own comic strip..you guys watch out how much fun these kids are going to have doing economics...have also decided to institute an award in my name to the person who is math-disabled...

as of now i am going for my eco history lec...this is the only time i swoon whilst in pune...(courtesy, a charming prof and an equally charming subject...doesn't have anything to do with mathematical manipulations to arrive at desired results)

all ye fellow comrades who are thanking me for Mumbai !!(call it Bombay if you wish)

When Pune becomes Delhi (thanks to the mass scale migration to Gokhale by all the Delhi School, JNU and IGIDR rejects..) you can't help but say, "Unfortunately, you can take a person out of Delhi but can NEVER take Delhi out of a person...and Quite fortunately enough...you can take a person out of Mumbai but NEVER Mumbai out of a person!!"

anyway...have been getting tips on how to make my blog more attractive and get flashier features from an old associate and a dear friend..so in a few days..this blog will have a message board..maybe a calendar..and (at the risk of losing readership..) a photograph too!! wow!! i can't get more indulgent and narcisstic can i??

back from mumbai...to Auschwitz!!

nah..just overdoing it...

but mumbai was awesome...ate like a camel..as if i were storing for the unforseen future...laughed as if i were making up for lifetime missed out on it...like Zeb says, " Home is where one only consumes...there is no need for processing!!" It's so amazing..i just wished for clean clothes and Lo! behold they appeared!! asked for a clean bathroom...and there it was...as for food...it appeared even before i could wish for it...

stared out of the bus window as if i were one of those first-timers in the city...but i had no idea i missed the BEST buses so much...

am a changed person after the mumbai trip...have vowed not to take pot shots at the fat punju kid...(final one..coz one of my favouritest people Mitali has asked me to refrain from cracking rude jokes about the poor soul online....also coz fat punju kid got me besan ka laddoo from home..all the way from delhi...) was welcomed back to the hostel with a hug (trust me i was scowling..) from him...

so the world hasn't changed terribly in the last few days...

pak is still pissed with the US for moving closer to India which is still searching for uranium...euphemistically titled the search for energy for civil purposes...all this even as we are still ranked 127 in the Human Development Index...and bangladesh which is still way behind in the nuclear arms race has raced ahead...someone out there hasn't learnt his Econometrics well...has regressed development with the wrong explanatory variable...

am in MUMBAI!!!

need i say more!!

after the lows it's back to the Mumbai highs!!

mwaahs and hugs to all who are reading this!!!
