It's all over

Finally!
I've been working my ass off for these and their finally over.
Am so glad.
The past 3 days were so bad, I could have killed someone, especially Dad since he got back from GOA! Yes people G-O-A Goa! And that too when I was slogging for this shit.
I haven't slept and I had to take crocins for my brain blasting headaches!!
And then there's Georgie Porgie who has NO LIFE except calling people up at 7 in the morning. I mean what's your problem we're studying and trying to get you good results be happy for once. And it's not like you've ever given an IOC, you wouldn;t know so keep your trap SHUT!
But it's all over and my poor frazzled nerves can now take a break. phew!
And I've been crying my eyes out.
Seriously, IB IS THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO SOMEONE!!!
No wait,
CORRECTION: - PODAR & GEORGE are the worst things that could happen to a person.!!!

Sunday MALL Times


Today was fun.

I went shopping with my wifey aka Natalie.

I was late, as usual. She was waiting at LANDMARK for me. I'd been dying to go there so I could finally buy and complete the whole TWILIGHT collection. But that took like 2mins. So then we decided to go and buy Natalie's Mum a card for her birthday. She then told me about her weird habits of demanding gifts of her kid brother, Arosh, on his birthday. And when I asked her why this was what she had to say:

"Because it's Arosh's birthday. God!"

Lol I really wanted to laugh then, but I stopped myself.

We were thinking of what to do then, so we went upstairs again and she got herself a choclate chip mousse from Baskin Robins and some candy letter thingies too. She really cribbed about the excessive pink letters which, surprisingly, she really hates. She actually made the poor candy man pick out the pink ones for her an put more of the white ones. But at the end she was stuck with excessive pink and very little of the white. She really hates those pink ones, so much so that when I asked her for some, she'd always give me a pink one.

Then we called up Utsav and tried bugging him. When we asked him to meet us, he asked us to come visit him at Bandra. And so we just hung up on him.

Afraid of being victimized by boredom, we decided to go back to LANDMARK and sit there and read. Funny thing is when we re-entered they asked me for my bag that had ECLIPSE and BREAKING DAWN, which I had bought from there, five mins before. So I had to take another ECLIPE book, we went to look for a place to sit. Natalie, on the other hand, grabbed 3 books. Some thing on LOVE ASTROLOGY, some teenage book and some really creepy one, whose cover had some chick who looked alot like the cute, but, annoying KATIE HOLMES. Then we had to sit on the floor and read because being a Sunday, LANDMARK was packed!

It's human nature that when you're with one of your best friends, you can barely read, no matter how interesting the book is. So we began bitching about random people passing by and their clothes. We would suddenly laugh and people passing by us would think we were really retarded, which we kind of are. Oh, and we also called up Arveen and bugged him. Well Natalie did, I just called him up. She told him about her nervousness about the upcoming IOCs, the Math test and how she's sure of getting only 2 marks but not a 0. She then really whacked him by taling about his vocabulary which was kinda mean, but then she apologised. Lol. Then I we discusses our "passion" for books and she told me about her favourite books, of which I took a note and decided to buy after my finals. In fact, while leaving, I kind of went back to see the title of the books again and saved them on my cell phone's "drafts" section. Yes I know, lame.

Then we went to the CCD next to the mall, where they took ages to get one open sandwich and a cool blue. And after it was finally served and as I munched away at half of it, we criticised the people on the big tv scrren right in front of us which showed ugly people on a reality show and adds about Aishwarya Rai being a part of PINK PANTHER 2.

Then we bitched about our issues with people all over, mainly at PODAR. But that was fun. I can do that very few people, and am glad I can with her and a couple of other people, freely that is. And after having paid the bill, which took another 10 hours to arrive, we left for home, and went our seperate ways, in the opposite directions(literally in the opposite directions).

I had a lot of fun today although at many points I thought it would be boring, but I really enjoyed. Thanks Natu. Today was really great. You and I should do stuff like that more often.

Luvyu loads wifey dearest. Mwah <3

Time will heal


It's been a while
But I still sometimes feel the pain.
My wounds are still raw
And my heart is still in vain.

No this isn't a love story
For my love stories have been better
This love of a friend just seems to hurt
The friendship couldn't have been shorter.

There is a craving to re-create those memories,
Where did we ever go wrong?
I want you back
But since the last time I've said that, it' been way too long.

I was hurt, wounded
My heart ripped out of my chest.
You deserve much better, so everyone says,
Forget about them, embrace the rest.

You're my friend
And believe me, am still waiting.
I want to re-live those moments again
I miss those long phone calls of nautical nonsense of shopping and dating.

Bring back THAT FRIEND
Is what I always pray while I kneel
A voice inside me says,
Those wounds, time will heal.

I haven't mentioned who this is
But I hope you know and if and when you do,
I just want you to know
I'll always be waiting, even if the whole world turns back on you.

Effects of an English Commentary.

It's been less that 10 days and we already have about 15 commentaries in hand for what we call the ENGLISH A1 INDIVIDUAL ORAL COMMENTARY!
English used to be my favourtie subject. I used to look forward to it every morning. Literature has always interested me. And how can I forget the movies we watched too, with the ame songs and dances, they were still worth watching with friends. It used to be the best way to start my day. AND I used to be at school on time.
But all that has now gone for a toss. I mean look at us now! We're nothing but machines - Commentary writing machines that is! All of us! All we do is comment on how melancholic Keat's Nightingale is, how terror filled Ceasar's Rome is, what makes Elizabeth detest Darcy everytime they have an encounter, why Wordsworth "wander(s) lonely as a cloud" and how mind boggling George Orwell's Animal Farm is!!
I mean who friggin' cares! Nightingales sing every night and if you find their songs filled with sorrow, well deal with it! Not the whole world thinks that way.
Wordsworth is a freak! I mean how long can you go on staring at nature! It bugs the crap out of you! And he calls himself a romantic! Why again you ask, eh? Because apparently he and The daffodils" romance each other!
What is with these poets?! Can't they stop writing poems on birds?? And for God's sake Shelley, the Skylark is NOT an incarnation of DIVINITY, more like VANITY!
And who cares about Darcy and Elizabeth anyway.Everyone knows they eventually fall in love! How predictable could Austen get??!!
I don't friggin care about a pig named SNOWBALL or NAPOLEON and how they actually characeterise themselves as JOSEPH STALIN and his stupid Communist government. AND WHY THE HELL WOULD SOMEONE RE-CREATE AND RE-NAME "COMMUNISM" AS "ANIMALISM". I mean how lame can you get!
And please, Caesar's Rome is just fine! I mean common dude, it's the FRIGGIN' CAPITAL OF ITALY! BE HAPPY FOR ONCE WOULD YOU?!
Yes one can now see my anger and how much I despise the English Literature. And I was thinking of doing a double major. Why can't we have something cooler like commenting on poes composed by ourselves and passed around in class. I mean altough they'd be filled with a lot of stuff the yester generation wouldn't appreciate but who cares? I mean it makes more sense AND interests us too you know?! And for prose why can't we just have the HARRY POTTER and the TWILIGHT SERIES?! I'd rather read that than learn how a stupid talking pig overtook his farm and rebelled against the farmer! Ugh..after IB I shall never write a commentary again, especially, on poems by the "ROMANTICS"!!!!
(Written out of pure boredom and frustration)
