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.......

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........

I woke up by 7.45 am. We had our papers from 8.30am. I got ready and then had breakfast. And then reached the room where I had to sit. A night before I had inquired from the seniors if there are students with a zero in the 1st mid terms... the reply was positive. so I was a bit relieved.I thought I wont be the only one to get a zero. Now that shows my confidence level. My friend Devavrata had prepared well enough.. I was quite sure that he wont score a zero at least. The answer sheets and the question papers were distributed.
My comment on the questions--- "It would not have made much of a difference if the question paper was in french or german language!!!!" I was not able to get any of the questions.. (forget about the solutions..).. but but but...... I can't just give away a blank paper.. I need to do something.. So I had to use the last weapon...and I was quite an expert when it comes to this.... yeah I guess you must have guessed it.... "CHEATING"..... infact I would say cheating is an essential part of exam. I mean that's the reason why we have invigilators..... they throw us a challenge... "can you cheat in my presence??" and I love challenges that's why I cheat. And don't think its easy.... you need to have ample amount of experience and talent. My past record in this field has been awesome. Exchanged papers in XIIth pre-boards...that was really impressive..and I miss that......
Anyways getting back to the examination hall...... I had 58 minutes in hand to cheat (the time duration for the test was 60 minutes... 2 minutes passed in reading the questions).. I made a strategy there and then (yeah everything requires proper planning). Now I can't exchange papers here.. so I need to copy as much as I can from wherever possible. Devavrata was sitting near by.. all right...so he'll help me out with question no.1.The girl right in the front didn't really care about covering the answer sheets ((so nice of her ;-) ))..so yeah question no. 2 from there...and i guess they'll give about 30% marks and that's all I want... I can't just cheat and get more than the average marks..that would not be fare. So I had 51 minutes remaining now.. I looked at the invigilator sitting.. searched for an angle so that I can hide with the help of the girl in front... and I finally got it...I had to put my head down on the desk..I looked at Devavrata and waved my hands slowly..he responded. I showed 1 with the help of my fingers (or I mean my one finger).. he showed me the solution and I was successful in looking at the marks fetching points and I played with those formulae for sometime thinking that I might just get out something from it. I did some stuffs for some time. I left a few pages so that i can go for question no. 2 as I saw the girl going for it. Now I had very less time I can't ask the girl to show it again and again so I had only one chance.."as the girl writes I will write" I decided... but I was quite agitated soon...I was not able to see the actual answer...
.. the question asked to define something..
I looked at her answer sheet... I began reading it ....
The (XXX) is defined as the...and then there was her pencil box kept right above it..... I waited for sometime,prayed to god.. "plz somehow displace her pencil box!!!" and well not instantaneously but after 1 min she did it... I grabbed the oppurtunity.. read her answer sheet as fast as I could have.....finally succeeded!!!!copied the key portions...... I glanced at the watch..still 29 minutes remaining..I didn't want to try much after that.. as I wanted to get marks by "cheating fairly"..so primary target was achieved therefore I used the last 29 minutes for my sleep..................
next page coming up soon..................keep checking.........

It had been more than a month now in college..... so all the fun had to stop. Because there was something that is really hated by many of us,loved only by the toppers and first benchers(probably) and yeah to a lot extent girls in my college. "EXAMINATION"!!!
Like a normal... perfectly normal guy.. I hated exams.. but yeah I must appreciate the fact that I am never nervous because of it.As the mid terms approach closer the population in library increased..... intelligent people getting back to work.I had thought earlier that I won't ever go to library..but my decision changed. I just went to check out the library one day....and came to know that all the beautiful girls actually study in the library.. so there I was with books,notebooks and a pen... into the library..not to study but yeah to check out the girls and hope that someday sometime.. a girl will come and sit beside me. I began visiting the library quite often.But as expected none of the girls really bothered to sit anywhere near me..and that's sensible as well, why should girls come to library to sit beside me. But all this did a bit good to me ..yeah I did study some of the pages of the course books....
I did the same thing daily for 5-6 days...and on the 6th day
14th september,2008
I found the same girl in the library "the professor incident girl"....I thought it was the best moment to go and talk to her..and also thought that I will not think more about should I or shouldn't I?? so I just reached her table..saw her reading Physics. It struck me right then.."what if she asks me something related to physics if I sit on the same table"..( I completely hate physics and moreover I didn't study for the past month so I am damn dull in it). She was peeping into the book and I slowly walked away so that she doesn't notice. I sat on the table right behind her and faced her back....I opened my book and started studying (which as expected).. I was not able to do.
After 10-15 minutes.....
I said to myself "enough is enough...how can I be so dumb??? Its no big deal in going to a girl and talking to her....".. I stood immediately.....
but sat down again as immediately as I stood...
I thought why not ask something related to physics.....it will be a good reason.... yoyoyoyo
now this time I stood up confidently....went to her table....
"Hi.."... said I..
"Oh hi.." said she
I-"hey what are u studying??"
She-"this is the physics book,don't u know???"
How rude was that..she could have simply said physics...
I-"Oh yeah,of course I know..infact that's why I came here..I actually have a doubt..can you help me out with this???"
She-"well I don't know but let me see.."
I-"Yeah..here it goes... why is the torque in this example zero???"
She-"great doubt......!!!!....its not written anywhere that it is zero"
III-3 was this......
But somehow my presence of mind showed up.....
I-" oh did I say its zero....ah sorry I meant to ask why is it not zero???"
She-"great doubt again....its easy..u have "r" given.. u know the force on the wheel "F".. and the angle between them is 90.. so by rXF formula we have a torque......."
I stood in silence. (was thinking how can I ask such an easy question I should have checked what I was about to inquire) I was waiting for my presence of mind to show up again with a very good reason......and lo!!! I said-"Crap..I thought the angle between them was zero...hehhehe" I laughed but she didn't....
I-"hey seems like you are good at physics..."
She-"No dude"
I-"so now it seems like you are not so good at physics....hehehe" I laughed again but she didn't... I thought she is a bit under pressure because of exams may be that's why she is not in a mood to laugh.
I-"okay.. so you carry on....see you later..byeee"
She-"k,byee"
I got out of the library....and began thinking.....
I actually went to her so that I can talk for sometime....well I did that but the conversation could have been better.... far more better had I not brought torque as the topic....
........keep checking next post in a few days............

So the next happening thing in the campus were the CSA elections....
CSA is the Council of Student Affairs...... it was announced that there will be elections in each hostel for the post of four representatives....namely... cultural,mess,maintainence and sports.....
I thought this is something I can go for...... Not getting into any club or department doesn't signify that I am a bad politician... ;-) ... now the next thing to think was which post should I really go for..... Cultural was not an option I guess... I'm not into singing,dancing or anything like that......
Mess----- sounds extremely boring..... Flint--- mess representative of AH6 (the name of my hostel)...naah!!!!
Maintainence----haah !!!! impossible....I can't maintain myself... forget about the campus...
So the only thing left is sports..... although I am not a very good player of any sport but I thought its better than the other three at least.....
I filed in my nomination the very next day..... and then began making my agenda and stuffs.... I was helped a lot by my telugu friends.... they were...
1) Hemanth (with an extra 'h' in the end... but he says that's the way to spell it... again the wastage of a letter to increase the size of names:-) )
2)Santosh ( with a perfect body which can be kept in bio labs for the demonstration of skeletons.... or may be the 8 pack abs...err .... rather 8 pack ribs)
3)Vikram ( a big football freak.....Chelsea fan... and a football himself....with a weight of 187 lbs--85kg)
4)Vijay (well don't really have much to make fun of him... cuz he is neither 187 lbs nor has 8 pack ribs nor has a single extra letter in his name.... so vijay you just landed safe in this blog)
there were a few more who helped me out but I can't name all of them but I'm sure they will be introduced in this blog someday or the other.........
So I made a pretty decent agenda and campaigned well enough and as a result of which I won the elections... Yessss I became the sports representative of my hostel.......
Now the question was--> will it help me in any way to get "a girlfriend in campus"?????
next post feb 08.. ;-)

right then her cellphone vibrated...
I looked at the heartbreaking N-72 screen that said..
love
calling....
She picked it up right then.... "hi dear i'm busy right now in college,will call you tonight"
...And there was end of one of the shortest love stories u can ever come across..and that's actually the reason why I didn't mention it earlier..it was so short that now I consider it as negligible seconds of my life I don't know why did that call come right then...and why the hell did she save the name as "love" .....I mean that is sick...can't u just call your boyfriend by his name....why this nick....that can break hearts within seconds?????
Its kind of an impossible event. Its really weird as to how did I look at her cell phone right then....
The instance reminded me of Uday Chopra in Dhoom and Dhoom-2...the way he dreamt and the way all of them shattered in seconds...I guess someone has said it right....
"Hamari zindagi bhi hindi filmon ki tarah hai........"
but that's the way life goes...so let's just forget that....the incident has zero importance in the story except the fact that it showed how bad was my "bad luck" from the beginning.....its really sick.....I guess that was just a way of god to tell me that
1)I am going to stay single for long..or/and
2)may be that all the idiotic impossible incidents(lets call this as III. cuz I'm sure I'll have to use it in future) can happen with me in future as well....
I tried to console myself that may be "Love" is actually a name....
"may be her brother's name is Love"..I thought...
but I knew very well its all useless so lets just forget it....Lets just remember the earlier page for the introduction of my friend Devavrata.........
Keep checking ...next post on its way.....
