Heheee...this picture brought back memories ....

Christ ..those Booster injections ...which you have to take till you are 13 or something ...I remember I even slapped a nurse , when she tried to poke me ....
Another incident was...when i shook really hard and the needle got twisted ...was too funny ...
It took me loads of coaxing and of course ... ice-creams to complete the course of injections !!!
And then , some wise guy came up with Hepatatis vaccinations .... Oh noooo.....
The worst part is ,now you can't even throw tantrums in the clinic ...and btw its the same nurse who gives me the injections ...she take her sweet revenge , everytime i go there ....

Whoever invented injections !!!

Law Makers and Breakers ......

Barely a week after celebrating AIDS day , comes the good news .The Planning Commission is getting all ready to "legalise" the oldest of professions in India ..prostitution.A slap in the face of all those activists , and AIDS "hafta" collection(read donations) lot to spread the "awareness" !!!

After scores of debates with my friends about this topic , i yet yet maintain , that it's NOT the way out !! Just because our "phoren" counterparts are legalising it ...We do it ??

The reasons these law-makers give, make you wonder where the future of our country lies with politicians with pea-sized-brains and pumpkin sized pot-bellies.
"We wish to provide better education for their children , better health facilities , security ,check-ups and other awareness programs " .

Why not now ?? Do it now ...provide better facilities and health camps ...now !!! A particular prostitute on tv ...when asked to give her know-hows on AIDS and how she was exposed to it ...said this ,

" Mujhe tho AIDS ho hi nahin sakta , mein roj DETTOL se nahati hoon !!!" I possibly can't get AIDS , because i bathe using DETTOL soap !!

These ignorant women ,fight poverty , face the dangers of sexually transnmitted diseases , and live in the dirt of red-light areas , not forgetting the rejection they face from society.To add to the list now , is the long list of men ...er licensed men who seek their services , after the rule gets implemented.

Dont even think about security .. Most of the prostitutes , arrested ,are dropped back to their respective brothels after a day or two !!
Do i have to even tell you why !!

And for those who think , that it's not always Oh-those-poor-little prostitutes , and there are women willing to do the profession , let me tell you that the "AVERAGE" age of prostitutes in India is just 13 years!! Which of the abnormalest 13 year old thinks of becoming a prostitute ??

I am not one of those people who say that "prostitution be abolished ".
Its impossible to achieve that in a country where the sex ratio of women to men is roughly 600 women to 1000 men.

What the new law is going to do is "market the woman" as a commodity!
Sealed , stamped and certified , FIT FOR SALE !!

Sweets , gifts , greetings , SMS's , diyas , all saying the same thing ...Diwali's here ! Houses adorned with beautiful diyas and rangolis , last minute shopping , and ofcourse... people !! They're all over the place ...

Talking of light , days of happiness , prosperity , and good times ...makes you think of what the other side would be ...are there people who are not fortunate enough to enjoy Diwali like me ?

Sadly , the answer is Yes . To be very very specific , I would like to point out to incidents that happened recently . No ,I'm not talking about the bomb blasts , tsunamis , earthquakes etc ...these were things that we could not help to an extent. What i'm saying is a number of children who lost their lives , at a fireworks factory.It was due to an explosion in the factory.

Most of the workers at these factories ,are children. Sivakasi,TamilNadu is one of the most famous places for these kind of accidents. And there is no number to the number of children who lose their body parts , and those who inhale those poisonous gases ,and become victims to various respiratory ailments at such a young age .

Not forgetting , that these children do not come under social security or labour benefits offered by the Government of India!! . So , they are made to work like donkeys , and when their bodies are not capable of anymore work ,they're thrown out !! These kids are made to work in inhuman conditions , even without the basic facilities like food,drinking water and sleep( Refer to TOI , 31st Oct) Oh..did I forget education ?

During my school days , one of my friends once told me , its something that I'll never forget .. " If you are so interested in celebrating Diwali , and you just have to , have to burn something , just take out a 500 rupee note ...and burn it . But please stop stepping on the lives of those children.The 500 bucks will remind you of the money that you spent for crackers !" .

Thats it.And here I am writing this blog , asking everybody to "PUHHHLEASE stop buying crackers !!" You are encouraging those factories ..!!

For those , who just can't relate to what Im saying ...in short..

"BUY A CRACKER , AND HELP SNUFF OUT A LIFE " !!

P.S : Happy Diwali !!

10 Ways Of Highly Effective Engg Teachers !!!

You know your an Engineering teacher when ...
1) Your tiffin suddenly looks more interesting than the text book .

2) Your favourite dialogue is ," blah..blah..blah..and ....Your submission is tomorrow !! "

3) 2nd favourite " I will answer that tomorrow...now..moving on..."

3) Hehee..3rd favourite : " You ...stand up...sit down ..stand up...sit down ...Grr..Why are u'll sleepy !! "

4) " Phaiiyoo Point Someone " is Five Point Someone ..

5) I have completed the syllabus (period) . Now you can laugh...

6) You need not worry about the mathematical complexities ...It's out of syllabus. I know ...bahut haavvvy( heavy) ho raha hai na !!

7) Uday Raj Singh Broca , all the fours of you stand up !

8) Godse..Bakshi ..No..No...Refer To foreign author !!!

9) Christ..its the Q/A session of the seminar ... Ok...how is it used in India ...and how can you apply in the field of edge-yu-cation ?

10) Attendance !!! phew !!
I will rid ..u wil rid ..we all will rid .. OK !!

Fact Or Fiction ...

Hey , is ur God married ?? And doesn't he have children ?? Wasn't the man seated next to Him , actually a woman ?? And wasnt he a drunkard ...because he said "Take this wine ..and share it amongst you " ??

I would first like to thank Mr.Dan Brown for creating such a big confusion ...amongst both ....I would categorically say...Christians and Non-Christians ...Thanks , because both of these groups are actually purchasing "The Bible" and making an effort to read it !! One of my friends , actually downloaded the entire Bible , and printed it ...during exam time !!
All over the world , starting from the Pope , to the lowest of the clergy members ...got so affected by the entire episode ...that there were ..I would say ..Christian FAQ sessions all over ..trying to sort out the misunderstanding created by this book .

I mean ..what the heck !! Anyone who has read the authors previous books ...one of them is .. Angels And Demons ..would have known how the author twists the story so much ...and generates one story from another ..and in the end ...abruptly wraps it up .So ?? It's purely a work of fiction !! The author however , begs to differ , saying that ..all the information is purely factual !!
Ok..heres an example ... The part where ..the Last Supper incident happened ...Jesus took a cup of wine , lifted it up and said " This is my blood .Take it and drink it all of you ." Here , wine is the symbol of blood ...that He was going to shed ...on His Cross for His people ..All throughout the Bible ..wine is used as a symbol of a covenant made between God and His people .

Sounds different ??
Yes..it sure does !! Christianity ...the religion.. is a way of life .It tells you how to love ...how to share ...how to be good human beings ..It tells you how to deal with everyday life situations ..It tells you ..to be humbled ..as there is a mightier force above you ..who does things for you .So does every other religion...Did Dan Brown forget to mention that ?

Food For Thought !!

Got locked outside my house today ...as usual , forgot to carry the duplicate bunch , which my mom usually puts in my bag herself ....

Anyways , got to spend an hour at my neighbours place ...till the keys ..er ...my parents came home ...

My eyes fell on this infamous book ....of which every student in my college has spoken about ..since it arrived...
"FIVE POINT SOMEONE "by Chetan Bhagat

I had read it already once ...but read it anyways ...
But a second read , actually made me ponder today ..that is the part where Ryan ..the smartest of the trio ..who kept arguing about how useless an IIT was ...how it claimed to be the cutting edge of technology ...and how the system was ...and how badly they were stuck in it ...

Even after being a part of an engineering college , for the last three years , never made me feel great or something ...like your gonna be an engineer ...and you'll soon be creating new technologies ..or the usual sci-fi stuff ...

Forget about thinking about it myself , the atmosphere around also , that the teachers generated was never of that sort . It was more of assignments on time , print your programs , get that first class ..and more boring stuff ...

No...your getting me wrong ..if your thinking ..ok more whining and blames put on teachers ....I am admitting it myself ...
We...( im assuming i don't have to put a disclaimer here ) have limited ourselves to aiming for those 9 - 5 jobs ...and got ourselves so damn used to that 8 -3 schedule in college itself ....Atleast i have ....

No regrets as such ....but yet ....made me think ...that my approach was wrong ....


So , i guess no more cribbing about engineering from my part ..EVER !!

Bliss................

Im feeling so relieved ......Seminar is finally over !!!

And now i seriously know ...how difficult it is to go and stand in front of an audience and speak ....speak sense !!!

I was petrified....so much so that i finished my talk of 15 minutes in 10 minutes flat !!

Anyways , one more thing over and done with ......

Happy Days are here again .... :) Will write more...later

Campus Calling ......

Reena is a fourth year engg student , whose age cannot be determined because of her being in the same class for the last 4 years..
What is Reena's age if her mental age is just about that of a two year old kid ....???

Ya..Im writing another Aptitude test book !! It is a conscious decision made , after I saw every other person in my class , making a run for a copy of this book , written by R.S Agarwal.Every other minute , there's a phone call,that says ,

Caller : "Aunty , is jomy there?..(panting)...It's Urgent !! ".

A sleepy mom : "Ya beta , but she's asleep"
Caller : "What?at this hour ? There's another company coming forplacement to college ...Please ask her to study from R.S Agarwal "

An angry mother: Wait...im ..grr...gonna get her...

The rest is history ...
An hour of that book , and I looked up at my mom , and "Ma , please spare me ...SCREEEEEAAAAM...I'll do all the cooking..er...as in i'll learn ...patao dad for another SALE...Puhhhleease "

Thankfully , till now , she hasn't spoken to me about this as yet.

Thanks to my candle burning sessions at Don Bosco Church , the company short-listed students , without even without having to give the test !!!! What a relief !!

Well ,as of now , Mr.R.S Agarwal rots in a corner of a room , and of-course along with it is my incomplete book of questions ...I guess i'll do it when ............ahem...ya..when the next company comes....

Yes...I promise mom !!


P.S : St .Don Bosco Pray For US !!!

Baby 81 speaking.......

Hey , Baby 81 speaking…….

Knock…knock….?

Identification ?

Ok…Name :- Baby 81

Loctaion :- Kalmunai Base Hospital , Colombo

Occupation :- Staring at the white hospital ceiling , fist fights with

Baby 80 and Baby 82 .

Pastimes :- Giving DNA tests , wetting the bed

I hope that’s enough for now. Are you sure pune is not on the coastline? Was it affected by the tsunami ?

No….? What losers ! That means no more parent hunting for me ? (Sob…sob)

Oh..no that means my trp rates are gonna fall drastically . Just to make you people aware of who I am..let me give you the headlines.

1) Baby 81 is No. 1 desire in tsunami-hit Sri Lanka

2) Our Baby 81 is alone , but then all the nurses want to feed him!

3) 9 desperate , heartbroken women quarrel over baby 81!

4) Give us our Baby!

See… Didn’t I tell you ! I’m the next child celeb for sure ( hey… I didn’t ask for all the attention ..its for free!)

Don’t you want to hear my success story…? Well , here comes……

I was just , another four month old , used to do the same boring things that any four month old in the locality did. Cried , screamed , bellowed sometimes , just to see my ma changing expressions the way Jim Carrey does .

I remember , her looking heavenward , muttering something , clasping her head and then looking at me ….

Well, till one day , something happened ? What is it called ? Tsunami ?

It was a Sunday morning , right after Christmas , when pa , ma and me , went for a stroll to the beach nearby . Suddenly , there was a huge cry from the people on the beach . They were all running for their lives .I tried asking the baby in the crowd , she said precisely this “ UUUUWAAAAAHHHHH “ .

I guess that meant , “ Run ! Damn my moms missing! “ . That’s when I realized , my ma’s missing too! I looked everywhere , but in vain. For a minute , I was wondering if the Kumbh Mela had come to Colombo or what ? Children left behind , a stampede , brothers and sisters looking for each other …….

The next thing I see , a lady dressed in a white , in some kind of frock , and some kind of white headgear , feeding me , and put some kind of tag on me.

I was christened as “Baby 81” ! She put me back in a cradle , which had another kid too. We got a cosy cushion kind of thing to rest on…and a cute soft pink blanket also . I was loving it ….though I kept thinking of where ma and pa must have been . All was going well , till some people barged into his place and picked me up …. And the man claimed to be my father!

Did he ever have a look at himself before ? He looked like “gabbar” of sholay ,with a big beard and a bulging tummy . I tried to look away ….so imagine what the man must have said….He said “ This baby has suffered terrible losses , loss of familiar sounds and smells” ! I could have hung him upside down. Well , now , the whole ordeal of new parents barging in continues…..I get to see newer moms everyday …It’s very depressing , believe me… I understand !

Anyways , my life continues to rock , along with Baby 80 and 82!

Our life life revolves around fist fights , crying competitions and wetting blankets. And so be it….let me get going to my newest set of “child” claimers

Who insist that I get some DNA test done. Gotta Rush….u cant trust those docs these days …Who knows…they might just get my genes mismatched!

You bet!

Bye….

P.S :- For those who didn’t know..(losers) , I have got my name from the hospital authorities , because I was the eighty first kid to be admitted.

By the way , Tsunami donations are yet welcome….Please forward your donations to Ms.Jomy John (jomyjn@gmail.com)

Life Is beautiful!

  Finally , Im back again…time to blog again...
It looks like it was just New Year's a few days back ...but now it's actually month end!
But I'm glad it turned out to be that way , especially after the play!
Ya.. I took part in this play that the youth group had to put up.
Youth Group ??
Yup,Youth Group = Bunch Of Mad , crazy youngsters  made to do lots of work , which generally the older people are supposed to be doing in church.
And of course , I also happen to be a part of it !

It was supposed to be a musical , was supposed to be funny , meaningful...ecetra..ecetra!
Never mind all that , the practice sessions never showed any signs of the above stuff...
And to top all that , I get to be a mom to a teen in the play...
And who plays the spoilt teen...My bro!

Well , after writing all the dialogues , practicing them for almost like 2 weeks , juggling college and practice , raiding  all my friends kitchens ( during the khana breaks) , the play happened.....
And  seriously , people who I'd never even spoken to ever , came up , and said that the play was damn funny and that they really enjoyed watching it!
That felt so so nice!

All efforts paid! I remember , people who took part , were not those who were of my age group..we had the teeny boppers , the working guys...all of them willing to work selflessly , for something that they're not even get rewarded for…..
Especially a friend of mine , who is paralysed hip downward,also was there for every single practice...

I have all of this on one side and on another side people talking of the "big bad world"
And also the "mean , selfish people " living in it .
What I want to say is that why waste time in finding out faults and flaws ,
For once just look at the beautiful side of the same people ..and you'll realize how unique every human being is!
Im talking from personal experience , an experience that taught me such an important lesson. And believe it or not ...I 've started looking at people with a fresh new outlook towards them..ie they're unique , important , and  beautiful human beings!
And ofcourse , that we live in a beautiful world , and have got beautiful lives waiting for us!

 

Blog It!

 
  Blog-it!!

Boredom at home reaches its greatest pinnacle!
My list of adjectives for "a  certain set of books " is exhausted ....
Moreover , as I always maintained before ......books mean danger to wanabe engineers...
meaning...oh...exams around the corner...!!!

Thank Heavens ..Its Festival time.....
I thought people around had just lost every  reason to smile ( excluding sharda and jyne...receipients of miss and mr . never stop smiling  respectively )
But thanks to diwali , everyones happy and on the move......last minute shopping ,
crowded roads , beeautiful diyas , wow.....everybodys caught the festive fever !!

And seriously , whoever thought that India is a poor nation , will think twice ,
considering the amount of  money splurged around ....!!!
Well , I leave all the philosophical thinking to the newspapers and free lancers ..... :)
Im just supposed to splurge all the money .....on shopping......yipeee....
that makes it so much simpler.... just shop shop shop till u drop!!

Hmm....leaving my always lazy brain ......which hesitates to do anything "human"ish these days...
allowing  Mr.brain to say  "Blog This ... !" for any sudden surge of emotions , during these turbulent times !!!

Ok..now it says..STOP!!!

(tch..tch...)

What a waste of a holiday.....spent with a crappy set of books filled with technical shit!!!!

Whoooo!!!!!!!

Please dont ever judge a book by its cover ...and my advice would be dont even look at these kind of books for that matter!

Some equation has some kind of relation with some other equation !
so much so that it even has a formula for its relation !
that too 3 - 4 formulae for different types of realtionships !
Holy crap ! Misguiding young students on relations already ! Students on the threshold of
a new lease of life , where they get more and more mind screwed by the day!

And life in college was supposed to be fun? Im dreading the situation i would be in , in a month from now ...why ?

Exam Time!!!

And we pay those ***** at university for all the tension !
Not to forget the dwindling eyesight ...after hours of staring at the computer screen with a
packet of fattening " budhani waffers " !

A semester of making all the damned people around you happy , so as to get those amazing marks in your marksheet , which happens to get your aggregate up by a whole
whopping 0.00001 to 0..000002 x 10 ^ -9 percent!
What a shitty concept , yet happily practised , by all the wannabe engrs !

Blah...Blah....Blah...Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!!!!!!!!
This is precisely what our brains decipher after 60 whole minutes (barring a few exceptions namely ..why late..onwards )

Did I forget to mention worried and hassled parents at home ?
Well , their the only ones finally who actually care for you and also put up alarms ringing at odd hours !! Thank God For them..seriously!
Well , ....Here I am ....As I was during every term end ...wishing myself and all the other
fellow hassled souls , whom i'll be interacting during the whole of next month , very very
very good luck !!
May the grace of the Lord shine on all of us!
Amen...... :)

Die!

Wow.....he's finally showing attitude!
He's this new " ahhtometa" ( automata) , supposedly my "teacher" ,
not because he showed any qualities of a teacher , during the whole of the semester ,
not because he was nice enough to grant us any " offs" ( generally refused by std teachers) ,
not because he never gave anybody a " why late come thru " look ,
but ....because he finally managed to throw attitude on his students , at the term end.
The guy ( " !@#%!@ " of the highest order!) on the last day of the submission , refuses to sign anybody's journals!

Reason : I WANT 100 % ACCURACY !

Five other people and me , all around his table , clenched our wrists , under the table ,
wanting to hang the guy upside down!

What a joke ! No one could figure out in the first place , what corrections are to be made , forget getting the right answer !
Ask the guy , where the mistake was ? ....hmm...I dunno ...I forgot my notebook
in the staff room....
The whole day , saw a bunch of frustrated baby engineers , hopping , jumping from one room to the other , in the hope of getting the much coveted signature.

What the heck...!! And the guy has the audacity to tell other teachers , that he was very happy by the way , he managed to screw people , right in front of the students!
I totally sympathize the guy ...because I know..someway or the other , the class is gonna get back at him! And it will be too late then ( te comp knows why!)!
Take my advice little fella , Ahhtometa!
Like Munna Bhai said.." Maaamu.....Tyension nahi lene kaa !"
I am looking forward to all the sleepless nights you are gonna spend , and ......hmmm...

Jaaaande!

name it!!!!

Johny....Jonty.....Jott.............
Jomsky......Jimmy.....jalander..........
jippy ....joppy...........

well , I could go on.......
For people imagining that these are names of the next generation
cartoons , I beg to differ.
I'd like to inform everybody , that these are few of the " many "
nicks ,actually "names" people fantasize in calling me!
I am actually wondering how just a 4 letter word , namely "JOMY"
( here , again the priest who christened me fantasized in calling me by this name!)
could generate so..so..many permutations !

For god's sake,its supposed to be "jomy", pronounced as in "joe me"
But , secretely I know,why its damned so ticklish so call someone like that...
thanks to goju ( was he christened also as "gaurang" or...)
I get to remove all my frustration on poor "dinnkuuu" another alias for poor goju!
So,goju (dinkuu) , the next time , i call u that, you know what I'm going through!
poor me...( hey ...".me" sounds good!)
And , for all those people , who happen to be my friends ( or foes) , pleaaase say my name!


P.S ( also called princesse sophie ..or post script ) :-
No prizes for guessing what subject I happened to read....before this piece ( also called....hmmm..is there another name for C.O ?)

Sweat it out ........phew...!!!!

Have bulges around your waist ? Hmm..do you get all "J" when you see Ojas's waistline..?(heehee)!!!!!
Or just feeling too lazy and worked up with the normal boring schedule...?
I know ..where you or I rather, should be heading towards !!!
Its the Gymnasium....!!! A place , unfortunately or fortunately I visited this very morning!
I managed to be there , somehow on time , ( very unlikely of me) , only to know that my
instructor has conveniently disowned me.Let me just elaborate on that one...hmm
He managed to get late by a whole 30 minutes .....walks past me , like he'd never seen me,and would never even want to. In those 30 minutes , I struck up a brief conversation , with another girl , who was frantically trying to get the treadmill to start working.
Which again meant , nobody to help me to kill time!!
So much so that I counted the number of mirrors in the gym , to pass time!

Well , after a good half hour , this dude turns up and then he plans my routine...
At the end of a good one hour , I was gonne!!! So much for just losing a few( actually quite a many) kilos....!!Was quite a site to see though..an overweight adolescent trudging along the treadmill, eyes fixed on the wall clock ( damn ...isn't it time yet?) !
Well , I have quite made up my mind though , that I'd work harder tomorrow , just to "boo" those body builders who were feeling so very ticklish , from the very sight of me.
I dont understand why they have to flex their muscles time and again , just to show off
and say " stay put , U weakling , better not mess with us".

And ofcourse , there are the " baby body builders " too! . Scrawny ,bony , tiny teenagers who wish they'd be like those huge macho men! Poor things , they get to lift teeny weeny weights , while their healthier counterparts lift huge boulders . And ofcourse they get the instructor to help them too!I guess even I am at the same stage too!But , I'm hopeful of getting those super duper large biceps before them.Atleast I want some of those , after seeing those body builders !

So , here's to looking forward to my " stronger larger " arms!! Cheers!!

Heights.....!!!

I wanna write about people ....and i'm tired of writing about myself...and things happening around my radius of existence!!!

And I slowly realise that how deaf and non-receptive i've become to stuff happening around .
For example , this morning , I saw this young girl, very pretty,sitting under a huge tree, in a park nearby.She wasn't exactly very good looking , but somehow she had a very radiant face.A very Nandita Das ish face.I happened to be observing her more and more...and I noticed that she was talking to herself....questioning herself..answering herself at the same time, and in a few minutes from then, there were tears in her eyes.She didn't stop talking , by the way . And those tears showed real pain.After a few minutes , I saw the real pain coming up to her.
A man, maybe in his late forties...walks up to this girl, throws abuses at her
and before she could even retaliate ,slaps her so so very hard, drags her all the way out.

So many people around, no one bothers to stop him. Everyone looks on....
After this whole melodrama, there are hushed whispers around.An aunty nearby tells me that this man was the girl's husband!.Husband to a 18 yr old?????
I mean what is happening !!!..Women around especially in India, have to put up with so much of nonsense.I never wanted to sound like a feminist or something like that , but now I understand what they want to convey.Newspa pers screaming rape,child abuse and many other crimes against women,which I dont even feel like mentioning. I get goosepimples all over me, by the thought of a 35-40 yr old man raping a woman who was the age of his great grandmother!!!
Leave that aside, a normal middle class woman travelling in bus , has to take precautions of carrying safety pins, along for poking men who carry their libedo everywhere they go..!Female Infanticide is yet..yet ..yet prevalent!
Nine girls were burnt alive in a pit, because they were supposed to be soceresses,
