Dinner in the shower

It was my second day of swimming.
There was coldness in the air as compared to other days.

We came back from swimming.
Suddenly Surtani came to my room inviting us to his birthday party.....:)
We got ready and left for Grasshopper (A Restaurant near the college).

We all took the open air table on the ground floor.
A cute girl came and welcomed us.

We ordered our meals and meanwhile Sanidhya started playing with his favorite toy Jasmeet............:P

Suddenly we felt the shower. ya it was drizzling.

What the hell......!!

We can't dine in shower..!!
We went upstairs, On first floor there was shed.
Tables were arranged, and we took our positions.

But drizzling was finished.
Now, it was time for heavy rains and blubber wind storms.
and more than them a POWER CUT.

Candles were brought but kept aside due to winds.
Scene was dreadful.

Then
waiters brought our fuels and we attacked the chiken, paneer and tandoori roties.

Most of the crowd accumulated on the left side of the bench.
But the other side people including me were facing the showers.

Even the heavy curtains were ready to give up, tables and benches were put there to remind their duty.
some water also accumulated on the roof. but I must admire the waiters who folded their pants and were actively serving us.

After some time
we were having water filled in our plates and curry.
chapaties were almost wet.

BUT
our apatite rose to those monster clouds. We ordered more and grazed everything to the root....... :P

I was shivering with cold. Others also felt some cold and tea was ordered.
Meanwhile raining stopped.
We all enjoyed that tea and coffee.

Then that girl cam again with the bill.
Oh we all forgot about that girl while dinner.....!!

Music Room

They are music teachers of or school
At that time:
I was in 4th-5th class
As soon as the bell rings we have to go to the music room.
Wait.....!!
keep your shoes outside the room.
done with that
we entered the room, it is a large room,
Music instruments are resting every two feet apart on the walls of the room.
Oh some of them we are seeing for the first time.......!!

Two teachers were there.
Saroj Madam in green sari(mostly she wears green or light blue or mustard color saree).
She if fair in colour, long black hairs and talks sweetly.
Hari Om sir in faded grey pants and white shirts. round spectacles, pen and one diary in upper pocket.

We were asked to sit in rows, one hand apart.
Saroj madam took harmonium and Hari Om sir took command on tabla.

They started "Chandan hai is desh ki mati, tapobhumi har gram hai....."

We were expected to sing in chorus but that rarely happened.
In between
Madam closed her eyes and lost in harmonium.
Sir lost in tabla and his head was moving along with his hands ,........., irritated with that, his hairs also started moving ......... :P

We were singing the song, and in between we used our hands as poles and swing our whole body ......!!
(It may seems funny but it's easy...... sit in padmasan, fix both of your hands on ground, straighten your arms, your body will now be hanging, you can make swings....... )
then bell ranged and Madam stood on the door,
we were expected to put the shoes in rows but we are we.

And
My faint memory(it had been 11-12 years) says that I was slapped by Saroj madam many times.
But why, this I forgot. What could be the reason ??

After that we were shifted to boys wing.

Anyways
There were twenties of instruments in the room, What were they doing there.
In my school life of 12-13 years, I haven't touched any.

Anita ralhan madam

Anita Ralhan mam
She taught us Science in 5th class.
After that we were shifted to boys wing.
Haven't heard about her after that.........:)

She was different from others.
Unlike other science teachers of primary classes, she doesn't make us read the chapter and do the questions.

I sill remember how once she took a beaker filled of water, asked some student for his eraser and took a thread to show us the buoyancy and the Archimedes principle.

Once she took a small pulley from physics lab to show us that downward pulling is easy than upward.

she also used coins and pencils for showing buoyancy.
she asked us to bring tulsi leaves and all other available leaves to see difference between patterns and properties.

similarly she used many small and simple things to make us learn, and experiment.
She always motivated us to think, In one way she was the one who made me interested in science.

I never got good marks in science in that class, but still I had a very good image in her eyes.
while other students say madam is sullen and morose, I think she is nice .......... :)

Shear love

That sun seems smiling
              someone seems purer than dove
Everything seemed as heart in shape
              divinity of my shear love




That sky sheet has flown away
              when my heart portrait-ed  you
Like the moon grown in lake
             stars arranged to shape like you




Like all colors have been stolen
             everywhere it was you
Light breeze strikes my ears
             even this was calling you







pushaplata ahluwalia madam

I know her from 6th class
When she took our first class in 6th standard.

Virtually, everybody was amazed
She was sweetest

How she talked about discipline, and said that now you are big guys, you have certain responsibilities.....!!
our chest was 2 inches broader after her words...!!

She has brownish complexion, and age of around 50-55 at that time.
in her dark color saree, rounded spectacles, dyed black hairs, she looked nice. She was short and thin at that time.


She taught us English.
most important thing was that she taught bhangra for the school's annual(?) festival.


She used to punish us by slamming sticks on our palms.
She was mother of all misers in giving marks.


Her pet sentence:
If you were caught talking in her class
She count her five fingers one by one like this:

baby finger : bhai
ring finger : sahab
middle finger : aap
index finger : kyu
thumb : bole
and then with that hand she will slap you ..........!!

She always ask first row student to stand up and read the chapter,
and interrupts him after every two words, everyone feels irritated. :P

sometimes for some pronunciation mistake, sometimes for telling the meaning and sometimes if someone is doing chit-chat.


She was always nice for most of the class.

-------I called one of my classmates to inquire about her, what he said :  "Aur kuch to yaad nahi, bas itna yaad hai ek bar mera notice galat ho gaya tha to usne bhot mara tha"  ------
I was literally ROFLMAO.

Hum karein rashtra aaradhan

This is a nice poem/song.

I heard this for the first time in my school days.
It is played only in Shiksha Bharti School Girls wing, I haven't heard it Boys wing in those 5 years I spent there.

But I remembered the song.

When I came to IIIT-H
I heard this song in yoga hall, it was in a different tone, but I remembered the lyrics. I felt like I remembered each and every word of the song, and that was actually a divine experience.
I hadn't heard the song for a minimum of 9 years and still I was singing along with it.

I tried to find this on youtube, it is there but again in a different tone than previous two.

I just remembered the moment when Shiksha Bharti Girls/kids sing the song in chorus.

I tried to write down the lyrics, here they are




-----------------------------------------------------------------------




Hum karein rashtra aradhan,
          hum karein rashtra aradhan
tan se, man se, dhan se
          tan man dhan jeevan se



hum karein rashtra aaradhan.......



antar se mukh se kriti se,
           nishchal ho nirmal mati se
shradhha se mastak-nat se
            hum karein rashtra abhivadan............



 hum karein rashtra aaradhan.......



 apne haste shaishav se
          apne khilte yauvan se
praudtapoorn jeevan se
          hum karein rashtra ka archan...............



hum karein rashtra aaradhan.......



apne ateet ko padkar
         apna itihaas ulatkar
apna bhavitavya samajhkar
          hum karein rashtra ka chintan...............



hum karein rashtra aaradhan.......



hai yaad hamein yug yug se
          jalti anek ghatnayen
jo maa ke seva path par
          aayi ban kar vipdayein


hum ne abhishek kiya tha
          jan-ni ka hari-shonit se
hum ne shringar kiya tha
          mata ka hari-mundo se


hum ne hi usse diya tha
         sanskritik uchch sinhasan
maa jis pe baithi sukh ke
        karti thi jag ka shashan


ab kal chkra ki gati se
         wo tut gaya sinhasan
apna tan man dhan de kar
         hum karein rashtra aaradhan............


hum karein rashtra aaradhan.......


                                     

Poem by me in 6th class

6th class
I was on stage after morning prayers.
This was the poem I took from a very old book.

Haste Haste aaj chale hum
          nanhe nanhe senani
matribhumi ki balivedi pe
           sheesh katane abhimani

mat samjho hum nanhe nanhe
            hai takat hum mein bhari
mahlo ko raakh bana sakti hai
            ek nanhi si chingari


kadam badaya hai ab aage
            nahi peeth dikhlayenge
matribhumi ki balivedi pe
            sheesh kata ke jayenge



I remember each and every word of this poem till now

Me and that world cup

That day was the first T20 world cup final,
India Vs Pakistan
We 10-15 students went to our hostel warden Tyagi Sir, and asked for arranging a TV set.
He send me to electronics lab to bring that.

Then it was time for arranging the cable, he called someone to arrange that.
After 1 hr of all that setup was ready now.

In the open air, we brought some chairs from our rooms and
Match Started
India's innings
2nd over and ........ aah ....... POWER CUT.......!!!

we waited and waited and waited,,,,,,,,,,
Match was about to finish
we all were on phone calls to our friends who were sitting in their homes.

Last ball
India won

Celebrations started
We all were going mad and seniors called dholis (dhol wala)

First years were not allowed to come out of hostel after 7pm.
We all thought to go upstairs on the terrace.

While I was coming back from my room to go upstairs, Tyagi sir called me and asked what happened

Me : sir India won the world cup
Sir : hmm

then we all were on terrace playing with water and dancing, some were having noodles in their room and we were throwing noodles on each other.

Tyagi sir came
All students dispersed, some fell on each other, some were hidden in water tank and some were in the corners.
Me being unlucky was near the stairs.

My condition was :
some noodles were there on my head, some were hanging from my ears, my shirt was half open, and from head to feet I was wet.

Sir : what is going on?

Me : Sir, India won the world cup.

(had my head and face was not covered with noodles, I was almost slapped)
then I was given a long lecture and asked to go to my room.

I went to my room
In my room there were more celebrations going on,
people were dancing on loud music.
then

Knock on the door
I recently entered the room so I was near the door and opened the door.

Tyagi Sir...!!
Sir : What is going on

Me : sir India won the world cup.

then sir switched on the lights
Sir : You were there on terrace also.

Me: Yes sir

Sir : You are the same student na who was running like hell to upstairs

Me : Yes sir

Sir : You, You are the one na who brought the TV

Me : Yes sir

then I was given lot of words and warnings, and sent back to the room.

He caught just 3 students in the entire hostel in those 2 hrs
and every time it was me with a probability of (1/200 * 1/200 * 1/200)...........!!

Dating in Mastnath School

I was one of the most naughty student in the Class.

I used to show my face 4-5 times in a month in the school.
Although attendance was compulsory....!!

Second last seat, middle row, right below the fan was my place.
It was easy to sleep there........

So
One day, I went to school as usual (or unusual ???) :D
Physics Lecture
Teacher : "Nashedi"  Sir (I forgot the name and my friends also)

Situation : I was sleeping on my bench....... !!!

Suddenly he asked the nearby student to wake me up..!

And I was half awake now, and he fired a question.....

What is "Dating"?
I was nowhere to even guess what he was asking.

me: What sir?

Sir : arey !!  What is dating?

Me: Sir........ Sir...........

Sir: Arey dating !!!!

Me: Sir the guy and girl go together and spend some time.............

OYE !!!
"Baahar Nikal"
Get out from the class.............!!!!
(he shouted so hard that my soul started walking before me) :P

Outside the class, I went near the window and asked some student..........
"He was asking about Carbon Dating.........!!"

I rotated the CRO :P

So
it was final electronics workshop practical,
I haven't attended just one workshop out of 18 in the whole year............!!!!!

So Something was there on my table.
someone told me this is CRO, and they have done all experiments on this small machine which resembles those machines, which are put beside patient's beddings in hospitals.

What the hell
I am seeing this first time....and that too in final practicals......... !!

So
examiner came,
He was an old man in sixties speaking haryanvi ...... :P
He was in Grey Shirt and black pants, one mobile hanging around his neck and one diary in his pocket.

So
I was given some paper chit on which question was written.
So
As usual I thought of some scheme

I asked the student next to me, to help me.
He came to ma seat and adjusted the screen, pushed 2-3 buttons, connected some wires, rotated some thing and somehow generated a wave.
He also warned me to just show this to examiner and he will ask 2-3 questions.
Don't reply if you don't know .....!!!!!!

After sometime examiner came to my seat and asked what this wave is, I said sir it's a sine wave.


He also said, it is flipped along the y axis like this

Correct it, till I examine the next student.

I was supposed to do this
Now I was in deep trouble,
He was staring at me while taking viva of next roll number.

I thought of being smart,
I noted down all the wire connections and carefully unplugged the wires.

Next I rotated the CRO, with all my effort.
Now it was like an inverted TV with base on top...........:P

I again skillfully made connections and generated the sine wave,
This time it was looking OK, although from backside CRO was not looking OK.... !!!!  :P

Examiner......
He came and burst on me.
He was like I have burnt his newly brought laptop. ...... !!

"I am 60 years old and never seen such a student in my whole life. " and after this some more ,,,,,,,,,,,,, (I do not want to tell about my harassment on my blog  :D )

He asked what was your AIEEE rank ( WTF was I back door entry ???????)

Then he gave a speech on modern India, and students like us...... :P

C Programming Viva

So Final Viva for the end semester examinations,
teacher !!!!, there were young lady teachers in the computer science department !!!!
Madam called first five roll numbers,

aakanksha, abhinav, abhishek Ahlawat, Abhishek Chauhan, Aman Bahl


She was wearing dark green shining kurta and jeans.
I'll ask five questions to each of you, each question carries 2 marks, answer at least 2 to pass the viva.
question will be passed to next student if you won't answer.

So 
She gave first question to akanksha, she took her paper and pen and started writing something
then she throw the question to 
Abhinav - pass
Abhishek Ahlawat- pass
Abhishek Chauhan- pass
me - pass

Next question

Akanksha gave the answer
and as usual we all passed the next question.

So at the end of 2 questions
akanksha :4
we : 0

next quesion
akanksha - pass
abhinav - pass
abhishek - answered
abhishek Chauhan - passed
me - passed

What the Hell
3 questions passed out of 5.
one more pass, and she will throw me out.

next question
akanksha - answered

then mam asked the question, i'll not forget this in ages
question was:
"Can we pass arguments to void main()"

abhinav - no
mam gave her looks and turn to abhishek ahlawat
ahlawat - no

she turned to Abhishek Chauhan now
Abhishek Chauhan - no
Now there was blaze-fire in her eyes,

my turn
what the  ****
I thought I'll answer her
she gave bad looks on "no", so I'll answer "yes".

she : yes you,
me(in thunderous voice, trying to show confidence) : yes we can

mam : good 
now tell me what are arguments?
My tongue dropped in my large intestines :D
My face was red, looking at floor first then her feet(nice sandals btw :P)

She shouted : get lost all four of you

I got my room cleaned

So
Shanx said he is coming today,
I thought of gift him a neat and clean room
I went upstairs and called sweepers !!!!!!!!!!
This time I insisted them to come with me, otherwise they say, ya we'll come and u have to wait and wait and wait... :P
So he came and entered the room, saw the condition and put very bad expressions on his face like I was sending him to Afghanistan.
He called one more and went to collect his weapons :D

He came with broomstick and this :


this what the hell !!!!!!!!!!!
Just this, my sentiments were naked now.



He entered the room and quickly turned back to bring this


It was hurting my previous post now http://shine-someday.blogspot.com/2010/05/ma-hostel-room.html

He again entered the room and after some estimations called two more
now this was brought:


like it was collecting garbage of whole society :P

Then he put a mask on his face and entered the room, my face was red now like I was living in some municipality's dustbin !!!!!!!!!!! :D

Finally after 5 minutes my room was clean.
Sweeper felt a sigh of relief, but only for some 10 seconds !!!!!!!
I asked him to clean the spider webs :P

Now I felt my room is clean, I saw them taking my valuable garbage of past two months.



Like a bride I entered my right foot in the room and just fell on bed(not as bride :P but to sleep)

Let Love empower us

I was getting fainter
                   You too seemed puny
Tonight’s moon seems higher
                   Let the love empower us

Night rose fully
                   Destiny was against us
All aiming our shear love
                   Let our souls merge into one


We cried badly
                   Our souls cried harder
A devil unplugged my heart
                   Let your heart alone pump for us


Daemons were blown out
                   All Darkness vanished
Surprised were we, It wasn’t sunlight
                   Let the angels answer us


Voice came from Inside
                   It’s the same star you compare her with
Fully back in our all body
                   Let love carry us, night goes, never dies
                  




Beautiful waves of tears



  


I drew your portrait
        Standstill it was
No, still it was for others
          Was waving inside my eyes



Under waves of Water,
          Looking pretty were you
Waves between you and me
          Waves of my tears


I tried to hold
          Devil tear rolled down
I cursed myself
          Your face was flown



This time my heart wept
          Wept badly for years
I died looking at you
          Drowned in my own tears.
