Flop show!!!

Few days back, I saw a beautiful girl in my office food court.. There was something special in her which made me follow her a bit...She was magnetic in a sense.. :D She had a beautiful smile which even an angel would envy(too filmy huh :P). Her whole persona amazed me. She just seemed to be my dream girl. One more to my list of dream girl(s). hehehehe... Actually such feelings happen to me every now and then. :P This was supposed to be just another one....

I had noticed her Emp No. on her ID. After I went back to my desk, first job was to know her name in the Telephone directory. I had to contact her somehow. I was just thinking of some pretext. Mail seemed to be the best option. I mustered some courage somehow and decided to mail her my feelings. It all seemed awkward. I was no more in a college. But i just couldn't avoid myself from mailing her....

What was my mail and what was her reply.... Check that below....

Two daughters (girls) !!

A lazy afternoon post lunch and a boring applied science class lectured by a equally boring lecturer. Life can't get cruel than this.

We were in the 1st year of our engg. and everything related to academics seemed to kindle boredom. Our Applied Science madam, Mrs.Kobze; had the best sleeping pill in the world. We seldom missed her lectures, as it gave us 1 hr of gooooooood sleeeeeeeep!
That day students decided to revolt and demanded Mrs.Kobze not to take the lecture. But, She was hell bent on making us sleep. Better sense prevailed and she decided it as a off-period.

Students started to move out of the class but suddenly she said, "All of u give me your intro!" Students gazed at each other in disappointment and pestered the madam to herself start with the Introduction parade!

She started with her typical English!

My name Mrs.Kobze madam. (Ah! What a start!) I in this college for 3 year(I in what?? ). I teach AS to students (whom else she hopes to teach !?!). I are married. (are??????) I have two daughters...both of them are girls (No comments!!! God save her and her pupils!!)

Attestation!

I did my engg. from XYZ college (Umm..huh..don't wanna tell its name! Infact its not worth a mention!!). My alma-mater was a so good that its pupils were better in english than its staffs(lecs/profs). I prefer to call our college Shetkari Mahavidyalay (Farmer's college in Marathi)..hehee...

One of the most funniest moments was in our college's administrative office. Me, Pawan and Arun(my best pals) had been to the office to resolve some issue. There was a lady-staff who was chit-chatting with her colleague at one of the counters...We decided to do so eavesdropping. What we heard was absolutely the most memorable moments in our life..nothing can be more funnier than this...

Lady-staff: "Saheb, Ikde attestatation { this is how she said!!! 1 extra 'ta' :D } kuthe hote??? " (Sir, Where is attestatation done here?)
Gent-staff: Ikde atetion {this is how he said!!! 1 'ta' missing :D } hot nahi, maidam??? (Atetion is not done here)

Hearing them we forgot the right pronunciation of "Attestation". ;-)

Free Banana!

There has been no dearth of innovations from vendors to sell their product. The more innovative their advertising skills, merrier is the sales of their products...

This incident confirms this....

I often go to Dadar (a Mumbai suburb) during my college days. There were two reasons to it.. One was to attend some crash courses on some Engg. subjects and the other being the huge crowd of truly cosmopolitan girls~most of them college going! :-) Dadar was famous for 5 things viz., 1) Engg. Classes 2) Nice looking urban babes 3) Vada-Pav 4) Crowd and 5) Fruit Market.

I was on my way back to Dadar railway station walking on the narrow aisle of the Fruit market. There were many fruit stalls with their vendors yelling from their deep-throat~ They speak a mix of Hindi, Marathi and English U c... for ex. "Yeh phroot(fruit) bahoot tasteeee aahe saab!!!! " (This fruit is very tasty sir!)
But, there was a big crowd in one particular stall. A young kid was manning the shop. Curious to know the big crowd in front of his shop, I went near it only to get completely washed of my feet hearing the lad's screams...

"Saab!!...Kela toh muft hai...bas daam chilke ka hai....!!" (The banana is free but only the cost is of its peels).

Kiss Me!!

It was a sultry noon. A noon where you would love to send your mother-in-law for a walk...I boarded the bus at Trivandrum going back to Bangalore. I had been to Kerala for a family function. I was very much sure about my luck and expected no Good-looking girls as co-passengers. But, there goes a saying that, "Every dog has its day". That day was my day indeed.



Her name, I tried to find out at the boarding point office but to no avail. She looked like a damsel in distress, a typical Keralite girl next door. Droplets of sweat rolling down her smooth cheeks and forehead; her mind-blowing perfume, which left me totally dazzled. Her stylish way of holding her mobile on her ear with jest her index finger was truly amazing. At last the bus made a move. There were hardly some 6-7 passengers. Others would board the bus at different places. I try to make a eye-contact with her, but she didn't give a glance...These things only happen in reel, not in real :( ...


I was lying on the sleeper berth and she was seated right below me. All of a sudden, I heard her sweet voice of KISS-ME. I was perplexed. She was telling KISS ME and there was no one around us. Curious to know to whom she addressed that, I just got out of the sleeper berth and looked at her....


To my disappointment, she was talking on her mobile and later on hearing her conversation realized that she meant 'Kismien' (where) in Hindi with a typical
Malayalee accent.




P.S.: Folks be careful when a Kerlaite girl speaks in hindi. :)

3 years ago..........Futurzmail.com

Three years ago, I had put a mail to Futurzmail.com, where we can put up a mail which will be re-sent to our email id or postal address(i chose my email id) after the say (3,4,5,7,10) years back to us. I chose 3.

This site was meant for people to put their resolution (or anything which they wanted to see after a long time..)
I recently recieved a mail which had my name in "Sender's" row..I was quite confused as I had forgotten ab it...i got my mail after 3 years(exactly) from Futurzmail.com

Hi to Me,
Today I had completed my 1st Sem exam in engg. These 5 days of exam were the most horrifying days in my life. Even if I graded my paper, I would not give more than 20 in any.

I feel, I am the most unlucky person in the world...I went to a 'B' grade school, then to a 'B' grade junior college and now I am in a 'Z' grade engg college. God save me from this place...This college is nothin but a hutment where ghati people rule..

There is a fool called Choudhary...who is my BEE prof...hope he is not alive when i get this mail back..

I hate this Mumbai Univ for having college like this and for having Round 2 in their admission process.

My future seems pitch-black for me...but I still feel I have the spark..

Right now I am savouring bhajjis made by my mom..delicious...coz I told my mom the last paper I will "PASS"

Lets see what happens in my life b4 I get this crap back to me...

What a fool I was 3 years back!!! :-)
It was round 2 in which I took my engg admission. I could have got into a better college, If I had waited for Round 3... (no probs)

Now I have finished my engg. and working as a s/w enggr in a big MNC.

Happy New Year 2007!
