Maybe Guruji has given me a job to secretly enter in some selected people’s lives and bring it back on track. To play a cameo and silently exit without hurting them at all. First it was my Eve and as I am almost done with sparkling her life, the Good Lord dispatched me to another location-Checkpoint Bravo.
Well this one is a top secret friend of mine so 99% of you might not even know whom am I talking about. So I have code named her as Finch. Shes smart, sweet and not dim witted like the other blonde girls. Shes diligent, a keen observer and possesses a sharp mind with a tinge of detective abilities.
We do share some sort of bond between both of us and its like, if I think something, shes thinking exactly the same on that very thing. I do share such connection with one of my old friend. I call it as the HYPERLINK!
She is just a toddler. Whenever I see her I just feel like picking her up and playing with her all day!
To my surprise she loves writing poems just like I do and she made a sweet one for me in like…15 minutes.
U r my sunshine aftr a long n dark nyt,
U r d star dat always shines bright…
.
U make my life blossom,
Everything about u is soo awesome…
.
I’ve finally found a frnd who never lies,
U bring a smile on my lips which never dies…
.
Hv sticked u in my heart wid a permanent glue,
My sweet Sugar, I really love u…
Love you too my cutest friend.May we be friends like this forever. Thank you soo much for this shortie lines. I really wish I could write one for you. But I guess its that Eve for whom I only can rhyme. But will surely try to write something for you someday.
She still thinks that our friendship seems too good to be true. Believe me finch,its real. And if you still think that you’re in some dream sequence, get yourself a pinch, Miss Finch!

I just love giving surprises to my loved ones. Its awesome to see their delighted faces. I ve been frequently surprising my Eve with my teenie weenie art creativity and she used to be very happy.I am glad to know that she has preserved each and everything which I have presented her.
So how would be like..having 30-40 school friends of mine having that same delight after I present them with a surprise? 30-40 Eves in front of me! and I just went for it.
Converting my idea into reality wasn’t a cakewalk.I needed a kick which came in the form of my chaddi friend David D’souza. Somehow I knew he has that set of brain and diligence for making it happen. All he needed was just a lil push and thats what I am expert in!
We planned it overnight and decided to keep it as low as possible preferrably just between both of us and let this surprise be to everyone present in that reunion hall INCLUDING Ashwin Nair and the organising committee.Let them have that joy of getting surprised.
22nd of March,2012. Thursday it was.A GURU VAAR! Such a nice day to shoot our beloved school and teachers, have a chat with them and scroll around with some non teaching staff members.
I was in one of the rare case of being happy to be inside that fence after almost six years along with being emotional wandering in a place where I spent 10 beautiful years of my life. We had a long chat with Sister Finny and she was more generous kind and sweeter than ever. No wonder why she got that post and believe me shes handling it well. Guys n gals I can assure you that our school is in the hands of one of the best Head Mistress of all times.Sister Finny Matthews is the real worlds Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. We couldnt record her and other teachers like Madhuri Teacher, Madhuri Chaudhari teacher and one more teacher (forgot her name! sorry!) as our plan to interview teachers was decided at the last moment. Dont get dejected if you arent on the reel. This video would trigger all the Theresians to visit our paradise and the angels residing in it
Shooting part was pure fun. That bike ride on the path from where our buses used to rollout. Capturing the new buildings. But the editing part was hectic! DVD had never made a short film and I was way too behind him. All I did was to thrill Dvd with some good and some pathetic ideas and he absorbed everything like a true gentleman! He answered all my queries with full patience.
We had to hear a lot of music from our girlfriends, parents and were in some terrible consequences while building this video.Making a video might sound like a breeze but there is a lot of hardwork in it.Being awake all night and working all day on the same thing.Watching it again and again just to make it sure its quite next to perfect.There are some glitches and some shaky blurry videos which we apologise for that.
Here is the link of the video.
Its a pretty big one..when I uploaded it,the medium sized version was of 70 MB.Obviously I cant upload that 500MB HD version so if you want the big version you can contact me or Dvd and get it on your pendrives.
Thankyou for your appreciation.We are glad that you loved it.Do share the video and this blog with other the Theresians and teachers as well.

Many call me a vampire for sleep is optional to me and sometimes I forget to have food and wander places without any sort of hunger pain or that drowzy feeling. But today was altogether a different day.After standing for more than one hour in train,all of a sudden I was hungry sleepy and my legs were paining.Ahh, so thats what Being Human is about!
What started as a normal boring day had a super twisted ending.Months ago, my school buddies created a group on Whatsapp-a cellphone application for sending freebie messages.Its hell lot of fun over there when all are fired up creating a frenzy atmosphere.

Suraj Ramaswamy
A.K.A Su / Smashing Surya
Currently in love with Al ee
Yesterday saw inclusion of Gayatri in our group.But Dvd made it sure that Gayatri wasnt confused with whatsapp numbers and their respective names(All Thanks to Dvd… O.o) so me and Su were left with nothing to fiddle with.
Tonight our group saw entry of Sneha Iyer (Technically it was just Al Su me and Dvd.) Dvd was very sleepy so we could swap our numbers with different names. I was in a mood of being camoflauged by putting different different names like Brigadier Suryadev Singh and all. But Su started it by stating himself as me. Out of no where I wrote down my name as Nisha and there started all the fun. At first me and Su thought that she will catch us but nothing like that happened.Sneha had accepted the identities that we had presented.
To make sure this doesnt turn awry the next morning, I went on a private chat with Sneha to make sure she doesnt get angry when she comes to know about this the next morning.But wait I wasnt Vivek anymore and I realised it when I shared few lines with her.Throughout the conversation I was just praying Sneha to NOT to start any girly topics coz I didnt wanted to blow my cover just to stop those girly talks for I thought ‘Why should it be JUST ME to savor all the fun? Let the other guys have something when they wake up in the morning.’
The private chat was very scary as I didn’t knew about Nisha at all.When Sneha asked if I (Nisha) still stay at a particular place, I was like ‘Does she really stay there? My God, this is gonna be a very delicate mission!’
So what I did was I just skewed the name number correlation when she asked me about them. I completely misguided her to save all the wrong numbers.By 0300 hours, I really messed up with her phonebook by filling incorrect numbers of Al, Sushi, Chinu, Vivek(Me), Ni, Nu, Pa and Gaa Gaa.
I am really praying that Ni doesnt hurl at me. The mastermind behind it was Su. So my dear Ni, you can catch hold of him and prosecute him. 
Waise Ni and Silk Sneha are sweet. They ll forgive me for this masti. Haha
5 AM… I guess I should pack my stuff and go for a couple hour nap and sink in that feeling of achieving one of the most dangerous and delicate undercover missions till date.

I believe I can see the future,
cuz I repeat the same routine..
-Nine Inch Nails
Sometimes I get a feeling that these songs were really written for situations like these. Wake up at 6-7. Catch that 7.43 train.Come home just to rip off the daily assignments.Thats when the cool weather just starts feeling cold. You search for the sun but it doesnt shine as it has shone before.All your fast paced life turns out to be a mere slow-motion picture.
Maybe a week off would do the trick or perhaps spending a weekend away from everything might just recharge your batteries. But the main question arises in my head..
Is that 2-7 day off really worth it or worth a waste.Will it really recharge me or will it crank up all the pending work?!
Its a moment when you really expect your pretty angel to swish and swing her wand on you for something beautiful.But in my case I really cant expect that coz the wand seems to be wee bit shorter.Or its perhaps the distance which makes it look small. No hard feelings my love.Its just that I am a bit away for you to grab hold of me.
This might seem as one of the dull phase of our life.But its the phase which distinguishes the good phase and the rough ones. All you can do is to endure it as its an option no one else cant afford to take.Endure it as the good lord always has some great plans in the store for you.
So i guess i need to have 2 things before i sum it up
1. Patience.Hell lot of it..
2. A good sleep. Blogging at 0340 in the morning would count me as a mental!

Funny Neighbourhood-A tale of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Posted: February 5, 2012 in UncategorizedFebruary 6th, 2012.
P.S-Characters in this blog do resemble to the living human beings.So BE-AWARE to not to bump onto them.
O mehrama
Mere mehrama
O… poori hai dua
Ab kuch bhi…
Toh andh nahin
Tujhe pa ke lage…
Mukamal hai khuda
O rehnuma..
Mere rehnuma..
O… tere naam sa..
Ab koi… bhi lafz nahi..
Padh kar dekhe..
Sau kitaben sau dafa
Dildaara dildaara
Ye rati bhar ka jag sara
Dildaara dildaara
Tere nazaro kadam pe sab vara
O.. dildaara dildaara
Tab jeeta jab tujhse hara
Dildara dildara
I don’t know the exact meaning of this song but it feels so great to dedicate this to Guruji! I mean look at his power. He made me visualise the funny side of my neighbourhood in spite of their valiant efforts to eat my head. Offcourse there are good blokes around but the bad guys have just turned funny. It was too difficult for my brain to deny the three cartoons of my neighbourhood. I have codenamed them as The Good The Bad and The Ugly!
The Good The Bad and The Ugly
Starting off just like that 1960 classic movie started from. THE UGLY! Exhibite-The girl who WAS one of my prime assets.
The Ugly
I thought our life would be like the parallel railway track-always beside each other to ease each other’s load but things got twisted like a lemon drop in a vessel of milk. The milk turned into Paneer, pretty bland in taste but certainly more better! Somewhere around in Aug. 2011 she declared all my love care affection towards her and all the dedication n trust for her as FAKE!
Ok! Atleast I got to hear something new from her other than her late night cries, constant word battles between the girl and her mum which were a lot boring than the K serials and that boasting in front of an E.X.T.C guy that she knows electronics better than he did. You know theres a fine line between Confidence and Overconfidence. ‘I know it.’ Comes under Confidence whereas ‘Only I know it’ goes a bit over.This was the fine line and she crossed it like everyone crosses roads-with ease!
I loved the boasting part as I used to laugh out loud when I used to see her achieving a state of glory when she used a screw driver to open a C.P.U unit just to rub off the dirt on the RAM. Anyone can do that penny’s work after a tutorial my old friend.
Please don’t be so naive sweet heart. You should have that courage to admit things you don’t know. Look at me for gods sake! I admit that I can’t lie like you do every time! You’re the best! (yeah in lying offcourse)the way your pan card states a lie-and your driving license proves it-is nothing but pure awesomeness!
Next up in my neighbourhood is THE BAD!-her friend turned rival turned enemy turned friend. Too much flipping in less than a dozen
The Bad
years, isn’t it? I thought the boy was the sole culprit for this flipping n tripping but I had a feeling that this girl had a lot on the wrong side than the boy. Frankly speaking I never liked that boy because of his nature to have a sweet play when she’s facing him and abusing when her face is elsewhere except once when he had his group of friends and his mother to have a fierce verbal fight right in the front of her door! That was a real entertaining moment for me as I was just 4 stories away and could just hear the music like a radio broadcast. If only I had couple of tiny reddish brown notes to buy a pack of popcorn! Sigh! I missed that golden moment.
I am known to be an astute observer and according to my observations the boy has a potential to be an excellent kite player for he knows when to pull the string and when to release it exactly like the way he did with the girl.
And the result of this excellent kite skill display? She gave him; her wedding invitation!
The invitation was like a World Cup for us as we knew that only one from the two finalists will get the cup. With no surprise he was the one to win it with cash back! Congrats mate!
Interestingly it wasn’t me who was lost!
Let me introduce you to the looser lad-THE GOOD who happens to share a wall with me..
The Good
No no! Not that silly Facebook wall! The very old strong real brick n cement walls on which we scribbled with our parents’ pens when we were kids!
So this guy was a best friend of the girl as he used to take care of her notorious ill mannered pet. A very noble work indeed on their part which can’t be ignorable anytime. But how could she ignore such a friend for giving her wedding invitation who has always been a source of unconditional help in her desperate need?
The worst part of it was that this lad came to know about her wedding on the D-day! Now you might understand who has lost the cup and his peace of mind!
And here comes the epic scenario.
The girl before departing says that I was way too serious for her and I never liked her man. Months ago my love care was called FAKE and now, I end up hearing something completely opposite.
Thats what her problem has been. Dear, You can never be firm on a decision when you’re lying! She has been wobbling and waggling right since I started analysing her since years.(Oh ya..happy birthday by the way!)
Pity that her hard efforts to turn me down have been failed. She thought I will get stuck in the blues and have a loop of the song ‘Alyssa Reid-Alone Again’ in my head. Who knew I will be LUCKY enough to have my favourite song broadcasted on a Real Radio!
The Good Lord knew that I am not a rail runner. Who knew Guruji had plans to give this tiny Penguin a jetpack for a sustainable flight?!
Me With my Fav Jetpack!
O rehbara
Mere rehbara
O… tujhse vastha
Tu.. manzil..
Hai aur tu hi
Uss manzil ke..
Aage ka rasta
Dildaara dildaara
Ye rati bhar ka jag sara
Dildaara dildaara
Tere nazaro kadam pe sab vara
O.. dildaara dildaara
Tab jeeta jab tujhse hara
Dildara dildara
Guruji-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji

Dear Vivek, this is your Horoscope for Wednesday, January 18th, 2012:
Gemini,
This is a lucky phase where you’ll make useful acquaintances and be able to learn something new…
Thats what I read that morning and was hoping for something new, exciting, action packed day and so it turned to be. My train had an unusual halt for half an hour with a boom bang from the train generator which was just a couple of feet away from me and my friends. That was scary! But still I was puzzled over my horoscope which said about me learning something new.What did I learn from this? Never travel with those particular friends who MAY BE a jinx for me? Ridiculous! I really felt there is something more to this day, something valuable than my nonsense jinx theory. Soon we got our trains changed and just touched the college station to know that we have to catch the next train back to home even before the afternoon ticks in. My sweet ingenius ‘Invincibles’ (thats what i call our group) quickly made a plan and the 5 Invincibles were on our way to the METRO Mall.
It was long since we together made our way to the food court up there. We did find that place a cool one to hang out pretty often.Well apart from being visually cool, it was literally cool too.haha. All our ladies geared up with their scarves and the men(me and one of my friend) were quite tough enough to bear it until the end when we started cursing that fan which blew those cold spells on us. I am a type of a guy who feels the chill with even after a single cool breeze hits me. Still I prefer winter over summer anytime! The talks just made me ignore it or maybe it was the warmth in those talks of the beautiful past which we all spent kept me away from freezing.
Soon that sunshine was eclipsed by the dark times we went through. Those fights and the cracks in our friendship. Things then swirled to our love matters, ditching, getting ditched, commitments, distances and so on..Well, tell me all about it! I ve kind of ditched, got ditched, failed to keep commitments, have committed way beyond the reach and have been dealing with a distance of 5000 miles! Believe me you can do nothing other than swirling the ice clad last sips of coke float by a straw. Sometimes this ride to the cold future, regretful and beautiful past and back to the wobbling future makes us realise the importance of the beautiful present which we live in. We realise the abundant power it holds pretty enough to twist the very fabric determining our future.
No matter how hard we fight, no matter how many breakups we face, nothing would stand as important as our friendship.Your friendship and my Eve’s infinite love perfectly describes my life in these lines.
Suhani suhani hai yeh kahani
Jo khamoshi sunaati hai
Jise tune chaha hoga woh tera
Mujhe woh yeh batati hai
Main magan hoon par na jaanu
Kab aane wala hai woh pal
Jab haule haule dheere dheere
Khilega dil ka yeh kamal
Yeh kaisa samay hai, kaisa sama hai
Ke shaam hai pighal rahi
Yeh sab kuch haseen hai, sab kuch jawan hai
Hai zindagi machal rahi, jagmagati jilmilati
Palak palak pe khwaab hai
Sun yeh hawayein gungunaye
Jo geet lajawab hai
Getting you all has been one of the few good things in my whole life which just proved a Latin line ”Chi trova un Amico, trova un Tesoro” meaning “He who finds a friend, finds a treasure.”
