Dream On!!!!!!!!

You are staring at the blackboard. It’s been a while since you have seen that dusty old blackboard. And now, you wish for subtitles in English , even though the professor is speaking plain english. Every word he utters is new to you.

You look around. The people in the first row, seem to be nodding to everything he says, and occasionally, they are writing something down. You look to your right.Ok.He is not nodding, but he too is writing down everything .Frustrated, you look to your back. Two of them are playing hangman. One is lazily rolling his pen around his thumb. One picking his nose.(Yuh!) Another is staring out through the window.You are a little relieved. And there is just one gal in the last row. Hmm...She seems pretty bored.What was her name btb??? OMG!! She is staring back at you! Turn Around!!! Turn Around !!! Phew!!! That was close!! Now, you are staring bak at the prof. He seems pretty oblivious to everything going on in the class. Even he looks bored. Whats he trying to prove anyway? Pigeonhole Principle my ass!!!!!

You hav got almost half an hour more, and it seems as if somebody hav switched everything to bullet time mode. Hmm. What Iff........................
Its midnight .Not jus any midnight. The night before the exam you have dreaded the most.You are in that room, where all question papers are printed... You are wearing some really cool hi tech suit, those english movie heroes wear during their awsum , action packd , hard to pull off missions. You browse through tons of thick brown covers until you find your “target“.Open it.Look at the questions.Phew!No way you could solved even one!!You start folding one copy to put in your pocket ..... And all of a sudden the lights switch on (you were wearing infra red goggles). It’s the Hostel Warden wearing pyjamas and a security at his back. You don't panic, whatsoever. . You stay calm, and take out the Memory Flashing Device from the movie Men In Black.You Put on your safety glasses. Flash it. They won't be remebering anything that happend fer the last 30 minutes. You casually, put bak your glasses, and the flash device bak into one of your zillion pockets. Fold the question paper and put that inside too. Walk to the window you jumped in thru. You Change your mind, casually walk past the stiill inanimate warden and security, through the corridoor. Some serious rock music in the background. OHHH Yeah!!!!

SWITCH

You are sitting down on the shores of a lake. It is evening and the mild rays of the setting sun is radiating from your breathtakingly beautiful girlfriend’s face. You are playing an acoustic guitar, and singing along with it.Somebody’s Me by Enrique. Both of you are in an unbreakable romantic trance

LAME!!
GO BACK!!
You are the hero of tomorrow’s exam. You can see people running through the corridor frantically. Some haven’t even started. Heh. You Pity them. Losers!!!! You close the door tightly. Remove your supercool suit. Take out the question paper. Put Some Loud Music. Sit Down. Stretch Yourself. Start Reading.
Question 1.Blah blah blah.blah blah blah blah 1.3425 x 5.6909 blah blah blah??
Tough One..But chill. You hav 5 more hours, and the actual question paper with you........ an evil laugh sounds inside your head. BUHAHAHAHA!!!!

KNOCK KNOCK...WAKE UP NEO....
The guy to your right, is packing everything. The guy to your left is still sleeping. And the professor is swarmed by the first bench guys, no room to move..... you slowly make your way thru the door, join a stream of ppl moving out frum evry class....get lost in the flow

Which Is You Fav Soong??

Yesterday, while i was chatting to ma friend, she asked me. “Which is your favourite song”.What I thought to be a pretty much easy question to answer when i saw it first , changed its demeanor as soon as I started to type the name of a song. Thousands of names popped into my mind, one by one, like those small cloud shaped dialog boxes ,you see in almost all comic strips. I was stunned at my own inability to pick one favourite song. “I give up ;) there are too much favourites for me. :D “ I replied. “Heheee....... That was my friend's problem,mine, and now yours too.Try narrowing it down to atleast the top 10songs...its harder than u think.......”She said.

Hav you ever made a list??All those songs, once you hear themm,u keep on humming its tune till ur annoyed friend asks you to stop..All those songs, when you hear them, you want to sing along,as loud as possible, even when you are listeing to your ipod, in a crowded bus........All those songs,when you first hear them, u know its love at first sound(:P),u know u will be hearing the song for a loooooooong time..................

I left the conversation soon,sat down determined to make a list.”This must be hard!!!”.....It was......

I opened Media Monkey(A decent software to organise your music,if you hav a really large music collection), scrolled down the whole library, album by album and artist by artist, added a song to a new playlist if i found it worth being a tough competitor. And after what seemd like an eternity, i reached the end of the list. 42 songs.......42!!!............Now..Filtering out the 10 best from these 42 was the hardest part....... Sometimes it pained me to leave one out, or remove one from the final list.I just couldnt part with some of them.Again,,after a looong time, i finally came up with my 10 songs i couldnt live without.

When you have that extra bit of free time, please do try this.And post me your lists!!Believe it or not.Its tough.Its Fun too.....


This is my final list


1.It's Okay – Junkyard Groove

2.Wake Me When September Ends – Green Day

3.Don't Wanna Miss A Thing – Aerosmith

4.Blame It On the Weatherman – Bewitched

5.Miracle Drug – U2

6.Yellow – Coldplay

7.Happy Ending – Avril Lavigne

8.You're Beautiful – James Blunt

9.You'll Be In My Heart – Phil Collins

10.Iris – Goo Goo Dolls


And if i redo the whole process again, im sure,this list WILL change.So lets keep it at this list,for the time being.

Screwing Up Your Sem For Dummies

1.Get A Laptop

Yeah!Get one if you don't have one already. I can't giv u an exact configuration for your system, but atleast try to get a PC which can run your favourite game(fifa nd call of duty in my case) in the lowest settings without any dawdle.

For music buffs, the choice between a headphone or a beefy speaker depends on how well your roomies tolerate your genre of music.

Get a good keyboard and a good mouse. You don't want to be seen dragging your heavy laptop in front of the nearest service centre(which happens to be located at the farthest place from your college) just one day before your 1 year warranty expire, for a touchpad replacement.


2.Be The Best In What You Do

Don't get disheartened if you lose 10 – 0 to some “bozo” in your first ever multiplayer match. But think of someone else who would be in your postion ,next year,when he asks you to play with hime for the first time...It takes time...practice...cheat codes....and lots of bunking..... to reach a stage, when you lose to someone only if some irritating guy knocks on your door until you open them , in the middle of your game.Thats when you are a pro. :P


3.Games Are Not Evrything

All of you might not be into games, and some of you might hav reached unattainable levels of “pro” ness in ur concerned games.........dont worry..........take up some TV series.......say friends(my all time fav).....or if you are not into sitcoms, try prison break......dont take ur fat ass off your chair, until youve watched all episodes till date.........


4.Not Enuf?

....So...Games......Sitcoms.....Then Movies!!!!!!Its an ocean out there.........dive in...........take my word for it......u wouldnt wanna be saved.............


5.Thats Not All Folks!!

I am seriously tired of those movie lines, where people giv out 5 rules to do something and the 5th rule is “obey the 4th rule”....Duh!......Anyways, what i just cookd up is just very few of all the things you can do, in your spare time, at college.....spare time includes all the free time you acquire by creatively avoiding all those boring hours of lectures and tutorials........find your own creative ways.....to make use of your time......be different..like they say in almost all motivational books......And There You go........before you even know it....You have succcessfully messed up your sem, with a really low CGPA........Make yourself Proud :P
