Well well well

I am not even a week into college and me has a crush already!! :O
Hehe..

So far our convo has been like 3 sentences. :P
I doubt if I'll get to talk to him again! :P
Heck, i dunno his name even!!

Whatever it is, I have a crush, that's good enough.. It will keep me going for a while.. :D

PS: Yeah, he has the cutest smile ever- dimples and everything!!
:)

My Second day of college

Well, yesterday was nothing much to write home about- we were just left like cattle to roam around in the campus and had to listen to a few lectures from HODs...

But TODAY, well... It was good. :)

I'm just happy when things go good. :)

My friends who joined other colleges had orientation too.
But mine was fun. :)

First we had an "Autograph party".. Basically it is an introduction activity..
We got a list which said stuff like:-
"Can eat 3 masala dosas in one go"
"Can jive / hip-hop or do the salsa"
"Is proud to be a nerd"
..etc etc
We had to get peoples signatures next to attributes which they have..
We got 5 minutes.
It was total chaos and FUN!! :D

Then there was more introduction stuff... And activities and activities.. Interactive sessions...

Another fun thing is the Boogie woogie dance...
I haven't done that since kindergarden...
Oh my God it was SOOOO fun..
350 odd freshers, all conscious and embarrassed dancing to the boogie woogie dance..
One of the things i'll never ever forget!!!!!!
I wish i had it on tape! :P :P

The best part was our seniors.. They had organised the whole thing out for us.. It was really very sweet.. All they do in other colleges is boss over and rag the students.. Today was a truly wonderful day and my orientation, a totally fun experience...

Eager.....

College starts tomorrow.. :D


Can't wait.. :D


Mum made me a card.. :)


It sayz:-

Dearest Divyu,
We pray that you have a happy college life
Love and blessings
Amma & Annu

Be cheerful ALWAYS!

As you stand on the threshold of adult life,
Eager, yet with a bit of trepidation...

Remember-
Most teachers and
almost all students
are as nervy (not nervous)
as you are...

Do participate in
everything you feel like~
The experience is infinitely more important
than success or failure..

Have as much fun
as is possible,
along with gaining skills
which will help you support yourself throughout life...

Do not comment on
people/situations in a hurtful way.
You gain nothing, but
the comments may worsen
a bad situation...

DO not do anything that
makes you feel uneasy or bad,
Be guided by intuition~
your sixth sense is ALWAYS
your best friend...

Pray to God everyday
in your own way,
Its something that makes you
feel calm in any crisis...

Remember at all times:
as parents,
we care about you and
your future as no one else will.
We are here to help you
whenever you need it...

PS: Do NOT save money by skipping meals

PPS: A hairbrush is an accessory, NOT a necessity.

WE pray that your college life will be all that you dreamed of
and then some...

God bless you, now and always..
Lots of love...

Mum and dad.

Aaaaaaaah...I wanna go to college..

I love my parents.. :)

Caring

Words are nice..

But they aren't everything.

Sometimes you need to hear it.
The rest of the time, you just know.

Nice words please.
Mean words sting.
Intentionally or not, stuff happens. Nobody can be cent percent rational. We are humans after all.

I was just thinking...


It makes a huge difference. What you say and what you do. So you should be as careful as possible. It is really easy to hurt.. Even random people who you think you don't affect.


Your loved ones need to know how much they mean to you.
Show you care.
Do it your own way.


Here is what I mean..

For a puppy. You love your pup. So how do you show it?
Do you tell it 'I love you' day-in and day-out and leave it alone????
The pup would much rather prefer that you give it all your attention, play with it, take good care of it, fuss all over it.

It is kind of like that.


Different people have different ways of showing that they care.


You may not find it approving enough or special enough.
But just respect that they love you and care for you, in whatever way that might be.
Be satisfied, do not demand for more.


Like the other day, I went to my school.


I met my sir who taught me Math five years ago.
He remembered my name. (I wouldn't blame him if he didn't coz a batch of 300 odd students pass out each year)He asked me for my Math marks and when I said I got 92, he frowned, asked me where I lost the 8 marks!!!


It was like being transported to 7th grade again !!
He used to do that in 7th. He did that now.
The concern was genuine. I was touched.
It was his way of showing that he cares.

He said many more things, but oddly enough, that tiny question meant the most to me.
It made my day.


Another thing happened in school that day. I had gone there with T's mum.
T got a really bad grade in computers, so the teacher had called T's mum to help T improve.


A bit of the convo went something like this-

Teacher: "Does T watch a lot of tv?"
T's mum: "She used to last year, she has cut down a lot, though."
Teacher: "Well, that's not good enough."
T's mum: "What do you mean?"
Teacher: "It has to stop completely."
T's mum: "Well, she doesn't really watch that much of tv. It's only for a little while each day."
Teacher: "That wont do... I want it to be 0% .... And her hobbies.. Tell her to stop them too. She needs to concentrate more on her studies. She shouldn't be distracted."

Well, I phased out after that.
I really did.
WTF??!!???!?!?!?! Seriously!! WHAT THE FUCK DID THAT MEAN?


It made me sooooo mad!!
My blood is boiling right now as I type this!
AAAARGHHHHHHHHHHH!


It was one lousy test paper.
The girl really worked hard on it.
I know.


Sometimes everything goes wrong and you can't really help it!


I would have understood if she had encouraged T to try an alternative method of studying, something like that.
Why in hell should she stop watching TV and give up on her hobbies!??!!
It's her life! She should decide, innit?
Why should she stop doing stuff she enjoys?That is what keeps one sane!!


Well, that made me really really mad.
The teacher might have meant well
( somewhere deeeeep in the back of that nutty head )...


I can't still can't help but go WTF?!
I have nothing against the teacher, but the advice was ... well, just wrong!
Well this was another way of "caring" so I included it.



I care.
I'm pretty emotional.
And I just hope that the people I care about........... know.

Friendship day

I wrote this poem for my BFF.. Sweetheart, you simply rock!!



Dear friend,
this is a thankyou.
For coming to my life,
For making memories,
For always being there.

I've had many friends,
although few this special.
But there was never ever
any competition.

It isn't the secrets we share
but the way we care,
That holds us dear.

I know it isn't easy to trust,
to let go,
but we are only insecure with
people we do not know.
I can tell u my fears
with no second thought.
Coz u always make me feel better,
You always help me out.

It sometimes is so bad,
that the world
just doesn't understand.
Thankyou
for being there.
I know i can come to you whenever
I need you

You left me alone
when I needed the space
When I spoke,
You listened to me.
Not just pretended to hear,
like the others.

There were fights along the way,
not many though.
Coz we both know life is too good

The goofy way we spend our time,
I loved every second of it-
the sleep overs,
the comic book recipes,
the pillow fights,
the phone calls were fun..
(u know which ones i mean)

I hope you realize
how much
you're worth.
I love you dear,
You mean so much to me.

We may not hug everyday
or say i love you.
But
"Idiot, I missed you,
You will be so dead
If u don't come over tomorrow
I have so much crap to share"
You know these words mean the same.

I dream of a day,
Many years down the line,
When we grow old,
When we do lame
(it wil be cool then)
things together.
Like complain in depth
about our joint aches
weird stuff like that
(I can't guess right now)
The memories will keep us together
Till the end
No doubt.

I don't know what the future holds
if we wil stay together or not
How stuff will turn out.
But whatever happens
Just remember
this good old friend of yours.

I will be there for you
Forever
and ever more.
