Strange dreams!
If you think that was funny, read on about the most recent one....
In this one, I am suddenly back to after class 12th, and to the least of my surprises(funny how all kind of shit happens, but you are never surprised in a dream!Its like "I am on the moon....man its dark in here".Not even a "WOW!",let alone"WHERE'S MY OXYGEN MASK!")....anyways, as i was saying, to the least of my surprises, I have cleared CPMT and am in medical school! But wait, there is more! With me are Becky, Joey, Jesse and DJ...yes, all characters from the sitcom Full House! And, the one who actually made some sense(but was the most surprising!), Shweta, a junior in school who cleared CPMT recently (for real).
So, now we obviously have a practical in the day, which is obviously very tough, and all I am doing is obviously flirting with Becky(was she my girl friend in the dream?Atleast Jesse didn't mind). Then exhausted we all come home(yes,we all lived in the same house, even Shweta!), all disgusted with the practical, obviously having thoughts like "I should have gone for engineering or even better,commerce!" when suddenly Shweta comes and obviously says"wow!The practical was so much fun, it was so easy!"
Just at this moment, I wake up, coz I have to drop Dad to somewhere 5:30 in the morning, and mom is shaking me up and down....the first word which comes to my mind....."WEIRD!"

A Silent Tear
Me : Hullo there! Long time no see, where are you putting up these days?
ST : Ya, i know, long time, hope you havent forgotton me. Thought you needed me, so came running. I see you are all crapped up right now.
Me : Hmmm. I am in a fix yaar, I have messed up big time this time, now I don't know what to do. I guess that's why you are here. Anyways, forget that, enough about me, how are you doing?
ST : Oh, I have been fine, running from one loner to other, but its fun. You should see these morons, they so crack me up. The funniest ones are those with girl trouble, I can barely stop my laughter there.
Me : Interesting, you say girl trouble. Don't girls cry when they have guy trouble?
ST : Cry? Man, we have to send an army there. I am from the SF, I work solo, I cant go in there!
Me : I see. But what exactly are you supposed to do. You seem pretty useless to me.
ST : Ignorant fool! How dare you doubt my worth! I cleanse your eyes, restore moisture, some say I am even good for the skin. And on top of that, I am fully sponsored by the management, you don't need to pay a thing. What more do you want?
Me : Arre I was not talking about that, don't you have any emotional significance or something?
ST : Ah! So you've turned into those morons afterall. There's nothing emotional about me, but for your satisfaction, I can say that I lighten the mind, lessen your sorrows, bring God and all his angels in your heart blah blah! There's more, you want to listen?
Me : Ok, Ok. I get your point. Its you good you came when I was alone, this conversation would have caused me so much embarrasment in public. Your timing is perfect everytime, I must give that too you.
ST : Why thank you! I know you don't like people to know we are friends. I understand.
Me : Chalo then, nice talking to you. I hope the only time I need you again is while chopping onions, but who am I kidding, its life, you are bound to come sometime or the other. Just come as silently as you always do, and i'll be fine. Cya
ST : Cya, keep scrapping!tc,gn,sd,gb,abcdefg123...
Me : Ok,Ok, enough, dont get carried away, you too tc, bye
ST : Bye 8-)

The semester that was....
After my cpi dropping by almost a whole number in the last semester,this sem brought with itself a felling of resolve(more of hope really).I entered into it with an aim of atleast getting my cpi back up in the 8 point range(cant say i tried though,but atleast i thought about it).But from the day i saw the timetable,i knew it was never going to be easy.With only 1 afternoon free in the timetable,i was beggining to wonder whether IIT has finally lifted me out of the mirage i was in.
The star attraction was surely AutoCAD,a course which was superbly designed to ensure 2-3 night-outs per week for every civilian.But it was sometimes a great help too,if anyone tried to give you any work,just say"sorry man,got a CAD submission to finish",and he will understand,pat you sympathetically on the back and say "hang in there dude,God is with you".
Now dont get me wrong here,the house I designed when completed did give me a great feeling,it was a beauty(as every mother says even for her spoilt worthless child),but come on,people make a lot of money for doing what we did,and instead we had to pay for it(not only in money,but more importantly in sleep hours).
And if we stil got time left,there was always this heap of pending lab journals to be completed,or a quiz to come.
But looking back,the courses weren't really that bad,GKS was god!!!!Prof. Sethi was the best prof i have met till date.
That reminds me,of a certain IIT Kanpur gold medalist who taught(rather dictated) water quality management to a bunch of IITians who he thought were still in 2nd grade,he actually made us buy a full workbook(and made some money there too) of fill in the blank type notes and would do nothing in class except making us either complete those or occasionally send us out of the class.I am normally against bashing of professors(even the not so good ones),but here i gladly make an exception.
So that was the last semester academically in a nutshell,there is a lot more to write but i don't want this to become so long that even i don't read it again myself.

Top 10 ways to ignore n enrage friends
This is by personal experience,and trust me,these are real effective,unless you are dealing with real stupid stubborn emptyheads like me.
1. Never EVER call,no matter how much the other person calls.
2. If this doesn't work,stop receiving the other person's calls too.
3. Dont reply to any of the friend's messages.
4. Now if your friend either really likes you,or if he is simply an idiot,the top three might not work.Then you use a new weapon-when he/she asks why you arent replying,just say "aise hi!".
5. Under normal circumstances the top 4 will work,but if someone is really crazy,then you might want to try something different.Now,what you do is you talk to all your other friends,SMS them,write mails to them,hang out with them,and you dont even talk to the one you want to enrage unless he/she calls 2-3 times.Make sure that he/she knows about this and then when you are asked why,simply reply"theek hai,big deal!i'll do all this with you too,kya farak padta hai!".
6. After saying so,repeat step 5 again.
7. Keep repeating step 5 again and again.
8. Even the stupidest of your friends should be angry by now,but the biggest idiots would cool down soon,don't let that happen,just tell your friend that its nothing like he/she thinks,and that he/she is important for you,that you care for him/her,and now repeat steps 5,6 and 7.(I am too good na,i know :D)
9. Once in a while you are bound to meet those morons who are not even offended by these steps,what you do is you hit them where it hurts them,maybe some some past experience,or any thing which they don't like,like talking about things they would never do,or simply talking about ending your friendship,n then later saying that it was all a joke,"mazaak hi tha".
10. Now if you are stuck with someone who keeps bugging you despite all this,then you really got no choice,the man is crazy,stay away from him for god's sake!
