Every single day brings with it a bunch of "weird incidents" which have a stupid, ironic, sarcastic sense of humor associated with it. The weirder the incident it, the more tempting it is to share. With work going on full swing, these days am hardly finding time to sit with my friends and chit-chat like I used to do. My little group here makes it a point to sit together for dinner and share all such "interesting" incidents... believe me, this 1 hr time that we sit around chit chatting in the mess, makes us forget the world around us and the giggles and laughs leaves us very light-hearted and happy. Today I just though of jorting down a few such incidents...
As I was walking down a lane near the library, with my eyes stuck on the beautiful half-crest moon....
STRANGER: "Excuse me! There is a snake ahead. Very small one, just be careful."
my mental dialogue "wattttt.... run stupid.. run back home!!!"
ME : "Thx. I wil manage."
If I were in Delhi, I would have been sure this is one of those school time April fool trick but I know here it is not a joke. I stayed glued to that place and when I was sure that the stranger was out of site, I took a u-turn and took the long route.
It was Chipkali's informal frehsers party when she was asked to represent Karnataka state (she is a Bengali btw). So the ragging begins... she is on stage with mike.
Seniors : So tell us, wat is Karnataka famous for?
Chipkali : err.... well... I read about Karnataka yday... it is very famous for silk.
Senior : and?
Chipakali : And its a great tourist spot and is even called the "City of gardens".
Senior : and?
Chipkali : it has a very rich culture.
Senior : education wise?
Chipkali : Ohhh ! ya it has a very famous university and a huge number of students.
Senior (frustrated now!) : where r u standing?
Chipkali : On stage ..... (damn confused!)
Senior (banging tthe head) : which campus is this?
Chipkali (finally the bulb glow) : Oh! ya ha.... Karnataka is famous for IISc :)
Senior : Thank you!
Venue : Ashwini hostel room. Time : 2 a.m
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Vardini : Shruti?? U can sleep here if u r missing mom
Me : Noo its not that... I found sumthing.
2 more voices from inside : who is it?
Vardini : Its Shruti and she looks pale.
the 2 voices : Yaar U can sleep here is u r missing mom
Me (Frustrated!) : No am not missing mom... I mean I am but thats not wat I came for. I saw just now that our ID card is valid upto 2016... I cant stay here for 6 years!
Chandu (speaking without opening eyes) : Look at the brighter side, u wil surely get a PhD by 2016
Me : U kidding me? I will die single! Who will ever marry me?
Chandu : Look at the brighter side, it will save someone's life.
Me : Ya sure! U guys r sick... this place sucks.. god damn wat the hell am I doing here? I wanna go home!! (sob! sob!)
Chorus : Tea board chaleen? Strong black tea???
Me : Yes please!
One fine afternoon I was lazing around in my room watching K2H2 for the 300th time when the phone rang (unknown number)
ME : Yes?
OTHER SIDE : Shruti, this is Prof. Krupanidhi here

OTHER SIDE : where are u?
ME : ssssssiiiirrrrrr... aaaammm aammm in roooooom.... nnoooo cuuureeennntt innn lllibbbraary....
OTHER SIDE : come to lab.
This one incident became the biggest joke in my group and each time we cross library, some one or the other will say "no current in library" and I will go pink!
Chandu : Today I reached class at 11.
ME : wow! on time today... so finally u broke the record of going 10 min late?
Chandu : When I entered the class, everyone was staring at me. I didnt understand why and went and sat in the last bench when a girl turned back n wispered, class almost about to get over where were u?
ME : lol !!!
