Quotes from my teacher

Girls, men are like cotton- soft and easy to crack.

If I were a sage I would curse you!

Today there is going to be an earthquake... drill.

(When briefing the girls who were to stay back in class during the drill for the rescue squad)
They will wait- for either rescue or for death.

My boards are over.
First thing I did- bought a book.
About Al Capone.
And now I'll go to sleep and not care about when I have to wake up. It's not like I have to study.

'Cause every thing's gonna be alright."
- Alvin and the Chipmunks

"It started out as a feeling, which then grew into a hope,
Which then turned into a quite thought,
Which then turned into a quite word.
And then that word grew louder and louder
Till it was a battle cry.
I'll come back when you call me.
No need to say goodbye."
- Regina, ost Prince Caspian.

"Rooth na jana tum se kahoon to,
Main in ankhon mein jo rahoon to.
Tum yeh jano ya na jano,
Tum yeh mano ya na mano,
Mere jaisa diwana tum paoge nahin.
Yaad karo ge main jo na hoon to
Rooth na jana tum se kahoon to"
- Need I say?

Dekh bhai dekh, dekh bhai dekh,
Zamana hai rangeen."

"Tum jo mil gaye ho, to ye lagataa hain,
 Ke jahaan mil gayaa."

This time, shoot the one listening to me sing. I make one wish for a kinder death.
Muahahahaha!

Hey, try saying that fast- "CLAT Classes, CLAT Classes, CLAT Classes, CLAT Classes..."

A Man I Know

I asked him once when I was much younger, "How do I catch a ball?". "Well, first you have to look at it and only at it. Your hands will know the rest." More recently he told me, when I was very nearly a wreck, "You are supposed to worry the whole year. But not the day before the exam. At worse you won't do well. But even that can't make you stop being you. You'll remain my daughter, in spite of it all."
He told a 7 year old about focus, a 17 year old about individuality.
Yes, he is full of good and practical advice. For which I love him.
And that goes some way to make his jokes bearable.
Just.

Drawing on my fine command of the English language, I said nothing.
- Robert Benchley

For every man there is something in the vocabulary that would stick to him like a second skin. His enemies have only to find it.
- Ambrose Bierce

If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found the time to conquer the world.
- Heinrich Heine

Look wise; say nothing and grunt. Speech was given to conceal thought.
- William Osler

The most precious things in speech are pauses.
- Ralph Richardson

I have been a believer in the magic of language since, at a very early age, I discovered that some words got me into trouble and others got me out.
- Katherine Dunn

Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.
- Mark Twain

Icky icky icky icky fKANG zoop-boing n zowzyin...
- The Knights who so recently said "Nee!", Monty Python

I did some major blog advertising yesterday.
Worked!
My deep, sincere love to all I threatened.

Do you people think I should revert to the old header pic.?

"Dharti Mein 'Pralay'!"

Breaking News:
" 30 din mein 313 baar dharti mein dhadam-dhadam!"

-India TV

I have also taken to speaking to myself. Out loud.

Barely English, or perhaps not at all

Wheels of Dawn (Akatsuki no Kuruma)

You so-ho-HO have to listen to (and read: english subtitles) this one.
It is a Japanese song sung by  Yuuka Nanri.

And, someone please translate this for me-
‘Lordy, them as is on the rattling lay don’t take to slumming kens!’
I believe it belongs to some Heyer book. Found it scribbled behind my eco notebook. I must have pondered upon the rather obscure remark myself sometime. Clearly, I failed. Maybe it's in code...
Well, your guess is as good as mine.

My fashion evolution-
Pink (barbies and lip-gloss)- Trendy (branded all the way)- Casual (comfy and fun)- Baggy (yeah, whatever, just throw stuff on)- Goth (black is lifestyle)- Punk (we are talking thumb-rings and blue nail-paint)
Next, I have a vibe, is gonna be Chic to the extreme.

Also, the right kinda guys just don't exist. Fine, so maybe Sesshomaru is a bit too much to ask, but Takumi Fujiwara would do just as well. 

"Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
The way you're actin' lately makes me doubt
You's is still my baby-baby
Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out"

Plunk-Plunk Plunk-Plunk Plunk-Plunk Plunk-Plunk
Plunk-Plunk Plunk-Plunk Plunk-Plunk Plunk-Plunk 

Sob!

Sniff! I... (hic)... I... (hic)... I-I-I try t-tuh-to write, but I can't! I-I try tuh write a poem, b-but it just doesn't come! I am losing it!
Bawl!

How does one tell if their English paper has gone well?
My literature segment was good if that is any indication.

I just had some de-fizzed coke in a beer mug... and then tried to write a poem about it... titled 'Having de-fizzed coke in a beer mug...' ...
Hm...

Boarded-up Thoughts

1^st February

Slippery words swirl and twirl,

But deviously elude grasp.

Well, nothing be done 'bout that,

Another time perhaps.

2^nd February

"The web was woven curiously."

So it was.

Forgive me for thinking the girl foolish.

3^rd February

People who try to restore my faith succeed as they have me praying for patience.

4^th February

Backyardigans are really fun. While surfing I happened to pause at an episode where they sang- "What do you do with a scurvy pirate? You make him walk the plank. You raid his ship and take his treasure... and put it in a bank.". The future economic-policy makers are in good hands.

5^th February

A casual observation- In a story, being drunk is such a convenient excuse for the characters to do unjustifiable but essential things to save the story from stagnancy. Confessions, murders, seductions, heists. Et all.

9^th February

Why do they apply for shares they cannot pay for?!

13^th February

My poised pen pleads catharsis... It has my apologies.

14^th February

It is a wonder how much I am able to write about not being able to write. There is a message in there somewhere.

15^th February

Kitsune. Cat o none-tails. Will o wisp. Jack o lantern. Grindylow. Aleya. Vetaal. Vampier. Upier. Mara.

16^th February

"I wonder how, I wonder why,

Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky,

But all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree."

17^th February

"a song to sing"...

18^th February

For a song to sing,

A promise ring,

A low-hung branch

With a wood-plank swing,

A lone lush glade,

An escapade,

There can't be much

I would not trade.

19^nd February

"What does light taste like?"

20^th February

Each clue of the Cryptic Crossword tells such stories!

21^th February

Kanpur?! POTF came to Kanpur?! Why-wha-who-HUH?! But they don't even know who they are! Who organised it?! Give me the names! *Sniff* Justice is a myth.

22^th February

"I was born into the Jewish persuasion, but when I got older I converted to narcissism."  

23^th February

Last night I played a game on Facebook where, due to virtual-money constraints I had to choose between a new boyfriend and a pair of heels. Tsk, tsk. Nihilism.

PS- I went for the heels.

24^th February

To turn into random roads to wonder only later where one is headed. My mom is not the kind of person one meets everyday.

25^th February

The only thing sustaining me as of now is the thought of a bonfire. Of textbooks. Maybe I'll buy a few additional copies of BS and math for the purpose.

26^th February

Having a picture of a really (due emphasis) hot guy on ones desktop is so blissfully distracting.

27^th February

Passion Colours Everything, Diamonds for Tears, Call, All I Want... life is beautiful.

28^th February

"A-G-L-E-T. Aglet! Don't forget it."

1^st March

I look really pretty in a foggy mirror. I really do.

2^nd March

Mom opened a long-forgotten trunk and found my sisters and my ghungroos which had been taken to be lost. *Scribbles something in my already too long 'To do in April list' *

4^th March

Taylor Lautner, Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman, Heyer-heroes... life is beautiful-er.

5^th March

Okay, fine! So I caved! Blog-addiction, allow me to remind you, is hardly a sue-able crime.

One down...
Never again am I going to do Business Studies. *breaks into a dance*
