IES Series 4

2 hours in between lectures

This used to be the days we would inevitably end up at ‘Sai Sagar’. And raid the tissues out there. Main culprit being Princu. As soon as the Sai Sagar guy would see us approaching he would hide his precious tissues.
Princu - wat will we eat?
Shraddhu – Lets have Indian ok
Me – no I wanna have those yummy Chinese stir fried vegetables
Renuka- And…
Me – And nothing else
Renuka- don’t be silly…. U will get nauseous
Me - No I wont
Renuka – Yes you will
Me – No I wont
Sabu – Never mind….. Ok girlies lets order
Shraddhu – Can I have my dabba out here
Princu – Yes let him give our order and go then we will have our dabbas too.
Orders come
After which Princu and Shraddhu keep trying to eat their dabbas and keep hiding it every time the waiters come in which is too often
Princu – I give up. I cant eat like this
Shraddhu – Nor can I
Me – (after having all of those vegetables) Groan I feel pukey
Renuka – I told u so
Me- Chabbbuuuuuuuu
Sabu – Its ok baby she is like that only

Shraddha & Renuka looking around furtively.
Shraddhu - She is not around lets go.
They duck into our tiny tea shop and buy a Vada Pav each. They come out and walk straight into Princu
They freeze
Princu – Ah caught you red – handed
Renuka (sigh)- But Princu we are hungry
Shraddhu – very
Princu – Then eat something hygienic like Sheebu
Sheebu munching on a packet of Haldirams
Me – Sheebu stop eating Haldiram we are supposed to making a project on Ruffles. Oh god! Did you get the questionnaires filled? U know we don’t have time (hyperventilating)
Sheebu ignores and goes on munching
Sabu – Shreyu. Shut up
Me – Still Hyperventilating
Shraddhu – OK OK I will eat Ruffles. Is that better?
Sheebu still munching. Me still hyperventilating
Princu – Much better. And Renuka what about you.
Renuka – nothing about me. I am eating my vada pav.
Princu – Fine rot your insides
Sheebu still munching. Me still hyperventilating
Sabrina- I have been wanting to try their new cutlet. Should I?
Princu – What is wrong with you?
Sabrina – U know I don’t like their food but how bad could it be

When love comes along.....

When Love comes along…….

They were as different as fire and ice or for that matter as any girl and boy. To begin with her favorite color was pink and his was brown. Where she liked romance novels, perfumes and Yash Chopra movies, he liked bikes. She was always color coordinated. It would not be wrong to call her fashion conscious. Nobody could blame him for making an effort to look presentable
Hence as I said they had nothing in common yet when they met, magic happened. No it was not love at first sight. Where she was wondering how could anyone wear grey with brown, he was wondering how could anyone wear so much pink.
But then they spoke to each other, discovered each others true self beneath the exterior and realized that they were so perfect for each other.
Slowly but surely they started getting drawn towards each other not realizing the enormity of their feelings.
But then reality intruded they could not be together. There were issues like caste barrier, not enough money to live on, career demands but most importantly different dreams. They are still grappling with it. Will they live happily ever after. I don’t think so. Will one of them make the ultimate sacrifice and decide to give up their dream to make the others come true and if he/she does, will they be able to forgive the other and be happy. Again I don’t think so. But at the same time it hurts them to part ways. One wonders how such different people can fall in love. And when they do why is it so complicated.
Hence follow my advice never fall in love and stay happy.
