This is going to hurt just a little bit


A few days back i went to the dentist to get somethings done in my teeth. I used to wear braces and now after i removed it there were some gaps. While i was sitting in the dentist chair the famous poem of Ogden Nash came to my mind "This is going to hurt just a little bit". This poem humourously portrays the poet sitting in the dentist chair and feeling humiliated and embarrassed. All the things the dentist does feels like a torture to him. Just like that as i was sitting in the dentist chair i felt a lack of dignity in my position event though i knew no one was watching me(except for the dentist).I mean i was sitting with cotton balls in my mouth and my mouth wide open, my lips getting dry.I mean who wants to be seen in such a condition. And the dentist was pulling at my hair trying to get a better veiw of my teeth. and he took the lazer out and it was resting in my neck as if i was a table.And Well i just hope that i wont be going to the dentist anytime soon coz i really dont want to...lol.I can really understand the poet now!!!!

A dedication to my hostelmates and my college

Yet another college year has come to pass. Another one is going to begin soon enough.It is my final yearly sadly. After this i will be leaving with a degree in hand(although not that handy!!!).I know that i often complain about missing out on certain thing and missin out on the 'actual' college life in a mixed college, what i think i would miss most is my own college life.I guess i dont value it as much as i ought to.

These are the influential years of my life. I have learnt so much in the past two years staying at the hostel, being independant(though not exactly...but still!!), coming across different character, handling a situation, adjusting with others, learning to value my family...oh i could just go on!!! But more importantly i have made some friends for life in my hostel. These are the people who i have been living with the past two years. It always like a slumber party at my hostel. The fun and the jokes we make. The fight (even though we lauf about it now) we fought.All the programs we organised and were a part of. they just get stored in the hard disk of life...my brain lol.
Though i havent made much friends in my class i would miss them all. I would miss the college(even though how much i complain about the need for space...coz the college is so congested).
But i know that i would miss college so much and my hostel especially so much. I have no clue if i will ever cross paths with the friends in my college except a select few though...but my hostel mates...we will stay connected...forever!!!!

Male chauvenism...hmnn


Today i went to the bank with my mother.I was sitting there comfortably near the counter while my mom was getting all her stuff done(Drafting a cheque or something like tht...hey i am not ignorant...i just choose not to get involved in these kinda official stuff heheh). As i was sitting there idly a couple walk in with there 2 something daughter. The mother walks in all smiling and the daughter is so hyper active and smiling too. they come and sit next to me. I can hear their conversation clearly(i wasnt eavesdropping!!!). the husband was clearly angry at his wife for some reason. I think they were coming in to start a new account. So the wife was filling up the form and she didnt know how exactly. She was asking her husband help and he was getting irritated at her. the daughter innocent and too young to understand what is going on starts walkin around the bank with her slipper making a squeaking noise whenever she walks. She walks upto the filter and starts playing with the water. He father annoyingly bring her back to his lap.The couple have a heated argument(though not making a scene or anything)...and i try not to hear. After a while i saw the husband hitting his wife in the face in such a way that no one could see but i saw it as his actions were reflected in the glass window opposite us. I got infuriated but how could i interfere. It was their private affair. so i watched in silence as the husband walked off telling his wife to manage it on her own. the wife even though sadness relfected in her eyes looks at me and smiles(a typical house wife supressing all her emotions) and asks me how to fill up the form. I tell her some of it. Then the child is also giving her a tough time. so i decide to play with her for a while so that the mother could fill the form in peace.

So this incident just left me thinking...the world is changing so much and its no longer the male dominated society as in the past. The female counterparts are rising up on a par with the males as well. Yet these kind of male chauvenism isnt rare.There are women who stay mum to all these. Well we cant blame them either. The society has set an impression that the females arent supposed to fight back or anything. I dont know about myself, what i might do or say but i think you should always stand up for what you think is right. I just hope all the other females out their realise it too. Hmnn

hey tis been long since i wrote summat in my blog.well my exams are over finally!!! but unfourtunately my lab exams arent. so when college begins in 2 weeks have to be up and ready for teh exam(sigh).mom and dad are coming on tuesday so i am kinda glad about it. its been quiet a while since i saw them and i was starting to miss them so much. Next year classes arent goin to be that interesting for me since we dont have combined classes. so i am going to be stuck at my own class for the whole year and thats going to be a bit boring. the sister is going to allot the rooms in the hostel this year(not like last year where we could choose our own roommates). so i am not looking forward to hostel aswell. today tried and makes something in the kitchen and kind of burned my hand a little. heheh nothin unusual there i guess. i had gone for a movie with ro n his frnds, chronicle of narnia. it is such a good movie n i loved it. and it was so fun hanging out with his frnds.all of them were commenting so much on the movie and it was just so much fun hehehhe.they are nice people.well for now i will stop.
