Page-19 Nescafe

So we ordered maggi for our breakfast.It was an awesome feeling for me...sitting with Laptusi,at nescafe...Both of us were quiet for sometime.By now,I had realised that she is not the one who speaks much.I knew I had to begin the conversation again. But what should I talk?? I didn't want to talk about academics or ask her crap questions like "What are your hobbies??" and "What are your interests or favourites??"...And I came up with this question..


I-"What,as a child,you wanted to be when you grew up??"

Laptusi-"A successful person"

"Oh wow,that's an interesting answer".. I said to her

"Oh god,seems like she is boring since childhood"..I said to myself

Laptusi-"What about you??"

I-"I wanted to be a Pilot..I liked being on a high..I mean being at a height from where things look small."

Laptusi-"That's in..."

I-(interrupted)"insane..yeah I know"..I thought that I should have answered it the way she did.

Laptusi-"No,that's intersting"

I-"Ok,by the way,can you stop using the words which start with an 'in' to describe me or my views"

Laptusi-"hehe...yeah sure."

So we finally got started with our breakfast and a sweet conversation. I was about to spring up another question,when she said "hi".

I paused...she said it to a guy who just appeared(out of nowhere).I looked at the guy. Stuffs that can describe him-----> Blue jeans,Pink T-shirt,Specs,well bathed,combed hair.....

I felt like asking him a few questions...

1)Did your mummy comb your hair???

2)Why the hell are you in pink??? That's an awkward colour for boys..(that's what I think)

and lastly I wanted to ask him

3)Are you gay???


I felt like making fun of this guy..but I stopped...Though "its funny only till it doesn't hurt someone..after that ..Its hilarious..."

Well the guy pulled a chair and sat with us sharing the same table.



he-"Hi,I'm Vulcsi"

I-"Hey,I'm not a gay"

Vulcsi-"Sorry"

I-"I'm Ayush"

And then it was only Vulcsi and Laptusi.I was just having my maggi.I heard a few words used in their conversation like "Clausius Inequality"....dQ/T etc etc......

I thought it was better that I don't really listen to what they are talking about and continue with my delicious maggi...I don't understand what is the need to discuss all that at nescafe.

to be continued and btw sorry for a short post after a long gap

next post within a week....

Page-18 Classroom

October 20,2008

So I woke up pretty early that day as I wanted to "finally" attend my tutorial classes. I reached the classroom C-301 just about 5 minutes late this time.The professor looked at me from the corner of his eye.I sat in the second last row and after about 2-3 minutes...entered the girl...Laptusi..Well she looked pretty nice..she saw me as soon as she entered the classroom and well to my surprise she sat just beside me.... wow..... her fragrance was 'wow'......
I-"Hieee"
Laptusi-"Hey,good morning"
This really was a good morning
I-"A very good morning indeed"

She looked at me from the corner of her eye... I wondered..why is everyone looking at me from the corner of their eyes today..anyways.As she was looking so beautiful..I was not able to resist myself from staring at her.."not from the corner,but from the center of my eye"..But somehow I managed to hold myself and not get carried away..mainly because of the guy who we call professor...
(Note: From now onwards..I won't write this whole word professor..I'll abridge it..let's call it prof....)
He was teaching some extremely boring topic which really made me fall asleep.Laptusi on the other hand was very attentive..as if the prof was explaining some life saving technique..
She woke me up asking --"Are you sleeping??"
I-"No,I'm not..I just have my eyes closed and I'm in a semi-conscious state........hahahah.....I don't know what is so very interesting in this lecture that makes you so very much engrossed"

Just then I heard the professor explaining something-------
Prof-"So there's a possibility that water can be superheated but as we see from the thermodynamic table we come to know that this possibility is not possible"


I-"wow,now what does that mean..If that possibility is not possible then how can he call it a possibility.What is he trying to do..screw our heads???"

Well Laptusi laughed a bit on this one...and I stared at her for some seconds....but you should never stare at a girl in a classroom..if you do then be ready to face the prof....
Prof-"Yes you....the guy with weird hair at the back..can you answer this question?"
I-"No sir"
Prof-"What did you just say??"
I-"Sir I didn't get the question"
Prof-"What do you think about the possibility of water being in the superheated state in this question??"
I-"Sir I think.......hmmmm.......Sir I think this possibility is not possible"
Everyone in the class laughed at this....
Why the f*** they did not laugh when the prof used the same set of words.
Prof-"Are you trying to make fun of the subject or yourself??"
I was actually trying to make fun of the professor but it didn't seem like he was interested in putting that as an option in his question.
Prof-"I think you should leave the class right now"
I-"This possibility is not possible"....well I made sure this sentence didn't reach his ears or else I would have been "nuts"......
I glanced at the watch..it was 8.55..the period was almost over..
The prof glanced at his watch as well.....
Prof-"well its time ....you are lucky enough.....all of you may leave now..."
Thank god its over.......
Laptusi-"You know what!!! You are really in.......
I-"Interesting right"... I interrupted..
Laptusi-"No...you are really insane"
I-"oh yeah I know that as well, by the way...did you have your breakfast???"
Laptusi-"No....you???"
I-"nopes ....how about maggi at nescafe"
Laptusi-"All right"
The next part of the conversation will be posted soon.

She was about to pass when I whistled...this time quite louder..She heard it for sure...becuase she stopped right then...





The girl--"Don't you have any manners....





"Is it the way to behave when a girl passes...........





"No courtesy...........





"U mad or what......





"Absolutely stupid....





"Loafer...





peep...peep...peep.....





Thank God she didn't slap me....and thank god there was no one on the street right then other than Devavrata who was laughing a hell lot..........


I-"Shut the f*** up...... At least I had the guts to do anything like that...You don't even have little of it..Can you do anything like that ever in your life???"


Devavrata-"I don't want to do anyhing like that"

I-"you can't ever do anything like that"
Devavrata-"Of course I can,but I don't want to"

I-"oh really..hahaha..joke of the year.....f*** you....its requires talent you see... only gutsy people can do it"

Devavrata-"F*** off"

I-"haha...so you can't ohkk.... let's do it this way..I double the bet.. "

After thinking for sometime...

Devavrata-"All right all right...I will.."

I said to myself.."Good job,Ayush,he has fallen for the trap" ..I gave that funky smile to him..

I-"Ohkk then..the bet is on..but let me stay at a distance from you. I won't like it when a girl will call you a loafer and I'll be beside you..... I don't want to hamper my image....I mean the left over image.". So I went to another bench which was about 10 metres from the bench where Devavrata sat..I had already begun laughing..."Pitega saala"..

After sometime,came 2 girls.I thought ...he will get the double dosage this time..it will be fun to watch.I saw the girls passing by the bench where Devavrata sat.And I heard the whistle faintly.As I had expected..the girls stopped.Yeah!!! the girls turned towards him..but they were not cursing or abusing him......to my surprise one of them was smiling.....

"Bloody hell"...was my response....What the f*** is going on???

All three were chatting and giggling. I said to myself.How's that possible??? Have the girls gone crazy.why didn't they abuse him???I mean how can they not abuse him???...After about 7-8 minutes the girls left...and waved to him as well.

Man I was stunned..I quickly went upto him and asked ....

"Dude.what the hell did you do??"

Devavrata (smiling)-"Its talent you see... only gutsy people can do that...so you remember the bet."

I guess instead of him it was me who got the double dosage....

I-"screw you...but what did you say to them..and how did you manage??"

Devavrata(yawning this time)-"Get ready for the bet and forget about how I did it..I'm going back to hostel now"

next post within a week...keep checking....

Well it was nice that I spent some more time talking to Laptusi but it all has been formal till now.By this time I was able to see a few couples within the first yearites.By couple I mean ..
a girl and a boy...walking hand in hand..on those dark streets...well those couples might deny this fact and call themselves as very good friends but I suppose that is enough of an indication that there is something more than that...I mean is it necessary to call a girl and a boy as a couple only if they are seen kissing each other...come on!!!!!!

Me and Devavrata were sitting on one of the benches just behind our hostel..That's what we generally do.After having dinner we use to have a walk on those dark streets but we don't walk hand in hand and none of us is a girl so we don't satisfy the conditions for being a couple. But after the movie "Dostana".. staying ..even...with a guy for a long time is quite controversial,anyways to hell with that....

So both of us were sitting on those benches behind the hostel..watching Spicejet and Jetlite passing over our heads every 5-10 minutes.....Its always quite pleasant out there.Two of the girls (first yearites) passed ....I whistled....just like a loafer does...but I made it sure that it was not audible to the ladies......Devavrata laughed..

Devavrata-"That's all you can do...whistle....and that too with a frequency below 20 Hertz.."
I-"Oh come on..I can whistle louder than that its no big deal.. they are classmates yaar..they won't mind it that much..They know I'm not a typical loafer doing that all the time..."

Devavrata-"So why not a whistle ...louder than the last one when you see the girls next time??"
I-"What's the bet??"

Devavrata-"I'll pay for each donut,puff and soft drink you have at the monginees....for one whole day...."
I-"...Ohkk...so that's quite a good deal.."
I thought its not so tough..I can do it.....
After about 15 minutes..
I saw a girl coming.She too was luckily a first yearite......I got ready
All right Flint...best of luck....She came closer...was looking beautiful.....no hot....no actually beautiful.....
and then.....



to be continued......
Its my blog...
I'll do what I wish...
wait for a few more days.......

well so after the mid terms I was again back to work.....My mission...I had this one girl in my mind...the girl I talked to in the past..or rather the only girl I talked to in the past. I had not talked to her for quite some time now..but I did see a few of the guys talking to her quite frequently...so I thought I should not waste time here and there and begin some serious stuffs.....like talking...**for more than 5 minutes.. at least**...and may be a coffee together at nescafe or may be dinner or lunch in the mess.....but I need to get ahead...
Now I had to do something,but how and what???I was trying my best to get noticed in the female community of my college but nothing really worked.
October 8,2008
It was a windy evening.I was passing by the library lawns when I saw "the girl" sitting in front of the library all alone...So I thought to go upto her and have a little chat..
well let me give a name to the girl now,its not so nice to call her "the girl" everytime.... well its my wish to choose a name ...cuz its my blog.....so I choose the name ..Laptusi..yeah..I know its weird but someday or the other you will get to know it later as to why did I choose such a weird name....but trust it does have some significance...
Anyways so I went upto her and tried to begin a conversation....

I-"hey what's up???"
Laptusi-"Hii..nothing much..sitting just like that ...How about u???"

I-"Me fine as well.... So how was the mid term for u??"Now as soon as I asked this question I realised it was a misfire...what if she inquired about my papers???
Laptusi-"They were pretty nice..I got 30 marks above average in 3 of the subjects..How was yours???"

As expected..I knew I won't be spared....

I-"Well it was quite decent although not as rocking as yours"
I just hoped that she won't ask my marks of the thermodynamics paper...
Laptusi-"So how much did you score in thermodynamics..???"
Bingo......she hit the bull's eye......She could have asked my score in mathematics..I was just 25 marks below average in it.

I-"well,I actually screwed up thermo a bit..I forgot to take my calculator"
Now that's what I call sheer presence of mind...welldone Ayush..I thought to change the topic..

I-"So,have u joined any of the clubs or departments in the college??"
Laptusi-"Yeah,I'm in DoSM,Dance club..and in the department of arts and decoration...you???"
I-"naah...i'm not intersted in any of them...I actually want to make my own club."
Laptusi-"oh really....well best of luck for that..well now I have to go back to library...want to refer some books over a topic"
I don't know why are the girls in my college so much interested in books,labs,library...I had plans to elongate this short conversation..but well she had some other plans.....

I-"all right...I wonder how are you able to spend so much time in a place like that"
I said pointing towards the library....And she laughed....so it was the first time that she laughed on something which I didn't think was a joke.
Anyways....I moved on to Monginees to have my chesse sandwich for the evening....Next post soon.......

So the mid terms went somewhat expected.... I messed up most of the stuffs..... but still I was not crying over what I did in the tests....the week after the test is the best week in the semesters..but only if your results are good...
September 26,2008
We were distributed the answer sheets a few days later.... I was in the classroom sitting with my friends Devavrata and Amit....

*** well now enters Amit... this guy is from Haryana, he too is in the same branch as I am...One of the only guys who was not really ragged by seniors of our college.... merely because the first thing that he introduced about himself to the seniors was the fact that he had been a "National level Boxer"....so there's no point ragging him.... ***

So all three of us were waiting for the answer sheets to be distributed...Our instructor entered the lecture hall.... went upto the black board and wrote the highest,the lowest and the average marks.....he called out our ID numbers... Devavrata had pretty decent marks.. he got 24 out of 75. Amit got 31. and then soon my ID number was called.I found that the instructor had a different facial expression when he called out my number..I thought why did that happen..?? Did he like my name or what??? Oh yeah may be my handwriting..its pretty decent..... anyways I went upto him and collected my answer sheet....I rolled the sheet as soon as I got it....don't know why but I was never so very eager to see my marks..Amit inquired--" how much did u get??"

I unrolled the papers---- I saw 03 written in red... without any fuss I figured out that they were my marks written and nothing else... Within a fraction of a second I looked up at the blackboard.. it was clearly written...

Highest-74

Average-35

Lowest-03...........

again within a fraction of a second I rolled up my answer sheet as soon as I had unrolled it.

I was not surprised.....I was shocked,thunderstruck.....however I didn't want to hide anything from my friends...but I can't just tell them everything like a shameless guy..... so I twisted it.... I just told them......" guys you have a Ryan in this campus as well..and he is standing right in front of you." I showed them my answer booklet. Both of them bursted into laughter and so did I..the shock didn't stay for long.....infact Devavrata asked for a treat..the reason he gave was that I can't ever get the highest marks in any subject so why not a treat on getting the lowest marks in any subject....and yeah...I agreed to it.So I paid for the veg puff they had that evening at the monginees.As a matter of fact even Ryan of Five Point Someone had pretty much the same result initially.....but he was smart...everyone knew that..... my case is a bit different..I am not as good looking as Ryan would have been,I am not an NRI...Infact I don't know why.. sometimes I feel like I don't have any talent as such..... everyone is good at something...example Amit-- he too is a national level boxer and a national level chess player.Some are good at sports,some are good at dance...singing...some excellent in arts,some actually good at studies as well...but when I scan for a talent in myself.... I get only few "not so happening" results.... i.e.,
1)I can play a bit of volleyball..but not of the national level or even the college team level
2)I can dance a bit...but just a bit..
3)hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
4)aaaaaa
and that's how it gets over....and hey maybe that's the reason why I don't have a girlfriend.......that's what I thought..
Anyways so all of this mid term and everything had actually slowed down my momentum...I don't have to forget the mission...so I bucked up again.......and began googling................
keep checking........
