happening days

...and lonely nights...hahahahaha ..okay that was an absolutely bad one ,but it came to me just like that and i felt like putting it down! had my microbiology practical exam today and the synopsis was a pretty unexpected question but bluffed my way through it thx to being a serious student and doing all my experiments diligently,okay after that bout of self admiration ..will come to the experiment which went pretty well partly because there was nothing much to do except fill gelatin in test tubes and wait for it solidify,and streak the petriplates with micro org ,..the viva was taken by RJ (was surprised actually, didn't think he knew microbio too..)..who kept eyeing me all the time before my turn but asked me really easy questions
was just sitting and daydreaming later in the day ,trying to read the mammoth "love in the time of cholera " but mind kept wandering to college ,classmates,but the egoist i am eventually all boiled down to my personality, my reactions in different situations ..more decent term being self analysis..and had to admit i was as much a product of my upbringing(..translated home atmosphere, ..) ;my school ;my staying all my life in a metropolitan like delhi and finally my individuality ,the unique(!) person i really am
so heylady = her individuality + delhi + dps + upbringing..the conclusion drawn from all this is that a dipsite always stands out from the crowd ,a dipsite always sticks out like a sore thumb...when so early in life you are used to (and i mean used to...) the best then anywhere else never matches upto it ..today in a moment of self reflection i realized how much my school has helped in shaping up the person i am today ,i remember in one of our annual day functions our principal chona said this in her concluding speech" an aquaintance asks a boy who is a dps student, 'son what will you be when you grow up?' and the kid replies 'i already am ,i don't need to be anything else'...at that point of time i cudn't understand,but now those words hold more meaning than probably many other things in my life ...i mean sure at a basic level i can relate to all the delhiites in my batch but then a dipsite always stands out,maybe in that sense think it would be a better idea to send ur kid to an okey dokey school...so the kid has no unrealistic high expectations from himself,but has feet firmly planted on ground ,and moresoever can connect with all the other kids he meets in college...but if you look at it from a different angle then now that ur used to the best it makes more sense to maintain that high standard and keep striving for the best in life,..though inwardly i know nothing compares to my alma mater:).........
time flies by when im dreaming n realized little late had to get my eyebrows,waxing etc done(...this being my last post for the time being, now that im leaving for goa tomorow and still have to do all my packing ..:)) so went hunting around for any parlour that might be still open ,discovered a new one whos owner was a sweet lady who pampered me,kept her parlour open even though it was overtime and did a really good job ,think might become a regular there ..
till i catch ya next
njoy

vivas

had my first practical exam today organic chemistry ..and think everything went fine ,the synopsis was a bit tough though i mean what with having to remember all the reactions and write their chemical equations cudn't exactly recall their products ,but what the heck i mean ofcourse it matters to me but then lets see how i do, the organic theory marks are out,so wud check up on that tomorow...
experiment involved the prepareation of acetanilide form aniline,acetic acid and acetic anhydride..and the viva ,that was another story,you know i think much of how well you do in viva depends upon how well you conduct urself,even if you don't know a thing you are not fazed,and its more to do with playing mind games with the examiner and dominating him esp. if he's not exactly someone who encourages you to come up with answers....anyways all that apart i just couldn't stop laughing in the viva,i mean it was afterall an exam but the minute i saw my co partners faces while they wrestled with the questions put to them i cdn't help giggling...god none of us knew any of the question in entirety half baked answers and my stupid giggling face ....what an exam it was!
anyways till i catch ya
keep smiling;))

george clooney rocks

saw oceans twelve last evening and i still can't get over my major major crush on george clooney ;he's got what you call charizma,charm,style,class,elegance,all rolled into one i love the way he looks sideways from the slits of his eyes ,the way he walks with that slight swagger like he knows he's the best but makes no big deal about it,his suave uncomplicated style.....the movie's a great one too ;actually i liked it but then im not sure if it would go down as well with everybody..its very stylized,sleek,love the background music that plays everytime they prepare for one more con job,good plot though not a very thrilling climax but see it for the excellent treatment..

just talking-2

mystery thriller part two
vroooooooom..suddenly there was the roaring shriek of a suzuki motorbike engine ,louder with the passing minute till the twins thought their eardrums would tear apart,who was that mystery man on a shining silver grey mobike and black leather jacket?..he looked so dashing striding towards the twin girl that she abandoned her play midway to greet him with a winning smile...
how do u do maam? looking straight in her eyes
im fine thank you.. shyly albeit eagerly she said
is ur mother home
yes go right in..third room from the left up the stairs
thank you ,ur a very intelligent girl you know..and patting the back of her head he disappeared behind the big mahogany door......

just talking

mystery thriller part 1
A and B are a couple who have twins ..live in kinkoo estate and there is a huge driveway leading upto the main entrance dotted with palm trees,coconut trees,mangroves,eucalyptus,pine treees that glisten in snow when the winters arrive ,deodars tall dark green and handsome,and jamun trees ...it is a beautiful driveway the main door made of sleek mahogany looks royal and sturdy at the same time ..a beautiful house it is with strong walls and overhanging bottle green twines curled around them jasmine,bougainvillea ,money plant..the twins are playing with their dog in a beautiful garden that stretches towards the woods at the backside of the house and you can hear the ducks quacking in the little shower pond enroute the driveway ...

wats the problem?

exams would be starting five days from now and thereafter i would be going to goa(yipeeee...!!) for a long long holiday , celebrate my christmas there and come back just in time for theory exams...so considering all play and no work makes heylady a dull girl id better start some serious studyiing,cramming up completing my project assignments and working out ....
okay now that im talking about work it wouldn't be wrong to say that i love studying ..i love my work ..i love academics and the sense of complete control it gives me when im doing something im good at,it gives me a sense of belonging ,it seperates fact from fiction helps me stay grounded , engages my wandering mind and gives it food for thought,my workplace is someplace i have no insecurities where everything has a practical solution and life is just the way i want it to be but then inspite of all the obvious material and psychological benefits of being a hardworking person problem arises when one forgets its human to be to have a short attention span ..to get bored easily..to put off things for'when im in the mood' but keep daydreaming when i do get in one of those moods..to keep dilly dallying till the eleventh hour and run helter skelter in the 12th hour..and an innate ability to mess things up thx to extra careful attention to the tiniest details..
so till i catch you next
the tussle continues

self relevations

okay ..i think id better accept it..there's absolutely no way i can make it to my college on time..no matter even if i stay only some fifteen minutes away,no matter even if i get up two hours in advance, no matter how much i keep repeating im cool im cool im cool over in my head when my chappals finally do snap broken midway to the bus stop.. i am reduced to carying them in my hands and running barefoot back to house ...no the dogs were not after me..i was tired of limping my way around on one leg and dragging the other ...and secondly i was planning to save time.On reaching home it took me some fifteen minutes deciding which pair to wear ..the silver one with red straps ...no that would look too flashy..the plain black ones ...no they are way too plain ..the brown ones with little heels and two straps...they look so out of date and out of the world(!!)
...finally deciding on the flashy silver(its better to be slightly overdressed than grossly underdressed......
ive only recently realized what a baby i am..i mean sure at the cost of sounding immodest ,flashy,and self engrossed id still go ahead and say im a pretty simple person with no hangups...cool ,carefree attitude wise who would avoid altercations at the slightest opportunity but would love to debate a point any given day...someone not afraid to speak her mind or try out new things ..adventurist..impulsive and extrovert
..but at the same time im not very assertive in personal relations ..most of the times im gripped by the illogical feeling that if i impose my point of view on others they'd probably run away from me and id never see them again the rest of my life...i mean sure thats exaggerating things a bit ..but really how crazy can it get...!...part of this stems from the funny belief that everybody's a fool ..and they don't have enough brains to understand me.. another dominant behaviour ive observed in my personal dealings is giving away too much of me when i stick around with a person over a period of time ...no matter who that person is .. whether he's a trusted friend or just anybody..my fundas ,my values in life that shape my individuality ..that unique identity which is truly me enter the background and suddenly what that person thinks seems to be the most important thing which i feel is not a very healthy thing for ur own self...one ought to be selfish because in the end no matter who comes and goes all u've got is ur own self..
and why is that one is more selfish when hanging around with pple of the same sex than when one is with the opposite sex...
think about it

emotional intelligence

finishedd fredrick forsythe's "the fourth protocol" two days back...and my my what a book it was..i was riveted till the last page....well not actually because took me around a week to finish it ..butb he spins a web of half truths half lies,deciet,politics,undercover agents,suspicions,cunning plans at the top levels to overthrow ruling governments...
so whats the story?
it revolves around the foreign policy and relations between the soviet union and grt britain...wherein the chief secretary of ussr spins a plan to overthrow the conservative ruliing party in grt britain undre margaret thatcher and replace it with the labour party which is pr russia ...he does it by asking his men (petrofsky) to illegally enter the grt britain and cause nuclear explosion that would swing the votes in favour of the labour party before the election ...how the england's intelligence finds out about their plan and prevents that is what the whole book is about...
anyways im currently reading a "daniel cleaver" book...would tell u all about it later

microbiology

reached just in time for the microbiology practical to find sweeper throwing dust in my face..whew!why can't they clean the lab.before the class starts ,anyways performed the acid value experiment today in which you have to insert a durham's tube in the nutrient broth with particular precaution not to introduce air bubbles while you do it...almost had a competition of sorts trying to be the first one to introduce it in an inverted position with new tricks everytime...one way you can do it is fill the tube with nutrient broth beforehand..which is quite politically incorrect if i may say so!..or after introducing it shake the tt upside down to get rid of bubbles...which makes the cotton plug wet with broth..so in the end had no option but to try out every hit and trial method to get the perfect durham's tube insertion....
by d way would be probably getting my microbio theory exam results today..so wish me best of luck

hulchul

i absolutely love math..its fast,logical,mathematical,all equations no crap..either you have the answer in a snap or you don't ...
organic chemistry is turning out to be a tough one though ..all the equations look the same and ive no idea how im gonna memorize them all without mixing them up...the practical is fun though,always a bit of hard work ;but in the end you end up feeling satisfied..and with mr.A to bully around i usually have a whale of a time*winks*
saw "hulchul" in the evening and honestly speaking had it not been for akshaye khanna(everytime i watch his movie ,..i fall in love with him all over again:)) and the truly hilarious "paresh rawal"(who i think even if didn't say a word would still elicit laughter....) the movie would have been an absolute flop show..yes there is too much violence,and the direction is not so great ,..and even though the situational comedy doesn't seem quite so funny after a few scenes....but then it is still worth a dekho...a good timepass ...n esp if ur an "akshaye khanna" fan..

the day of unending classes

miraculously reached college on time today, actually not now that i come to think of it its been almost two weeks since i missed my early morning clas..hmm good nice to see some improvement,so there i was waiting to be grilled by my not so sweet teachers :UB first class pharmacology,and you guys already know what a terror she is ,esp. so when im her favourite victim;LITTLE OLD MAN :bored us to death with his jadibooties and god knows what weird medicinal plants;physical pharmacy: a substitute had come who i myself admit taught pretty well (but the class kept shooing him off all the time,poor guy by the end got pretty frustrated) partly because the topic was conceptual based and i love solving problems ,applying formulas etc. ;organic chemistry:... mr. A.. honest to god made us write equations longer than a snake's tail(..what a similie,sorry but cudn't find a better comparison than that!..and i cudn't help but wonder if it was a chain reaction that would never stop....microbiology...where the ever hyper Z had an emotional outburst and left the class in tears and the idiot i am..i just couldn't control my laughter and kept giggling all the time..what am i going to do with myself?*giggle*
the practical was another story ..pharmacology ..where i almost always have a tough time getting my act together ,..partly because of so many things to do and so little time to do them all..but the die hard optimist that i am,would certainly try to better my graph the next time round..
till i catch you next
wats life without a little drama..?
