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........

page 13

All right... so finally the days passed and we had the mid terms rolling.... My first paper was Funda"mental" Thermodynamics... One of the subjects that I call as 'a tangent to me'.. the concepts of the course didn't go inside my brain but just touched the outer side of it. Somehow,I managed to get a few concepts...I knew that its not going to go very good but I just wanted it to be okok...

September 18,2008

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.........

well so that was not cool at all but anyways ..these things are going to happen.....
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............

september 7,2008

well I was sitting in the lecture theatre... the professor was yet to come. I was sitting all alone in the row.... and well right then..... I saw a girl or I mean another girl ...(beautiful...of course that's y I'm mentioning this)..... And my good luck bell rang for the first time in the campus......u know why???

She came and sat in the same row....... that was cool.... she had long hair... very silky...n...shiny.....

fortunately I had taken a bath that morning.....yoyoyo m/ ...

I said to myself.... "should I talk to her??....what should I say??....how to begin a conversation??

"All right I'll begin by asking if she is from first year.....but that will be amongst the dumbest question......."

"may be I should directly ask her name.....yeah that should be better.....but that would be a very casual way of beginning a conversation.....I need to be different.......may be I should directly ask her branch...... or may be............ or may be............or may be.............and then the professor arrived... nonetheless I thought may be I will begin chatting with her within the next 20 minutes for sure....

after 15 min 43 seconds.........

I thought now I should somehow begin the conversation....... the proffesor turned his back towards us so that he can write on the black board.....now was the instance..... I looked at her and guess what.... she looked at me right then........

I said "hi"........

She said-- "hi....(with a smile that was hypnotic)....and as a result I was hypnotized.....I just stared at her for the next 3-4 seconds..... I got back into my senses when a manly voice came into the picture......

"Yes.. mr. ..

excuse me...."

I looked at the man..... yeah that was my professor..

I replied or rather stammered..... "ye ye yes sir..??"

Professor-" could you please pay attention here..."

I just apologized......

Now that's another Idiotic Impossible Incident....... although not so impossible but still... why does it happen with me..... that was badly embarassing. The girl laughed.... was that a good sign.... was it the case of ladki hasee to phasee..... or was she laughing cuz I made a fool of myself...?????

Big question.... but the incident stopped me from the conversation any further.I just sat still....with my eyes on the book.....tried to keep my head as still as possible.
