THE NEW YEAR

Well, it’s the last day of the year 2004, which quite obviously means that tomorrow will be the first day of the year 2005.
Talking of 2005, even as I’m writing this, I can feel myself shivering (not due to the cold, though but out of fear). 2005 is the year I’ve feared ever since I got to know about the concept of board exams. And there is no denying the fact we all FEAR the tenth standard, no matter what we may say or for that matter, the world may say.
I find no relief in the fact that I’ll turn 15 in the coming year, which will unfortunately start tomorrow. I am even ready to give up my next 5 Birthdays in return of elongated year of 2004. I just want the time to stop; I don’t want to let go of this day. I feel like shouting to the world to take this year and make it grow, never let it, never end.
I even have an alternative, to go to the past or even the future forever. But damn these scientists –haven’t made the time machines as yet.
This year has passed quite quickly. I was in Ranthambore, a wildlife sanctuary, exactly a year ago and that day I can never forget as it was the day I went into a full-fledged jungle, the first time and saw a tigress in its natural habitat, calling for its cubs. It was as if yesterday that I was in Ranthambore with my binoculars on.
Its just so weird how time can pass on so fast. It is, after all, the most powerful thing, doesn’t even wait for the wealthy and influential people.
I have a very sinking feeling with the coming of this year, not because I am scared of hard work but because I don’t want to grow up.
Ever since I had the power to understand stuff, I always used to wonder, while seeing Alladin or any mythological serial that when people are granted a wish, why don’t they ask for infinite wishes. I used to fantasize a genie coming to me and asking me for a wish. Such is the sweetness and innocence of childhood, to which I want to go back.
On the contrary, the world is so dark, full of conspiracies and awfully dire.
Sometimes, I wonder what it would be to grow up and how do all these grown ups cope up with the challenges of life and the responsibilities. They must be so depressed and always longing to go back to the time they were kids, free from all tensions, free to play and enjoy life.
How I wish I would never grow up and always remain a child. I don’t even mind being dumb.
I hope heaven’s listening.
Though I have a long list of wishes to be fulfilled, I am sure God won’t mind attending to at least the top 10.
In any case, my wish list will never end but unfortunately for me, this year is ending.
However, I don’t mind taking greetings and also wishing everybody a very Happy New Year.

Tsunami Crisis- WILL TO LIVE

Over 100,000 people have already lost their lives and numerous are missing. The waves have even swept away with them ‘The Indira Point’- the southern most point of the Indian Territory.

The ones who have lost their dear ones are still to find themselves time to realize this horrible game of nature. Their shock, grief and despair cannot be put in words.
As one of the victims who lost his family in tsunami waves and had almost died, when asked about his feelings on his new life, said,” This is a second chance given to me, a new life but what use of it when I’ve lost all I’ve ever lived for”, a lot of people shook their heads in agreement.
We may be shocked and shaken by this calamity, but what we need to understand is that all the victims have gone through something we can’t imagine in our wildest nightmares. And of course, one needs to live through all this to actually realize the true worth of life and the victims’ shock, grief, despair and most of all, pain and loss.
There is this story of one of the victims’, I came across and realized (though, not completely, I’m sure) what one can do to live, live in the world so dire.
A man was having his tea, while the world was changing, while so many people were clinging on to something on the other to save their lives and many had given up, were dead and were lost forever into perpetuity. Little did he know of the time that was coming up for him, of the circumstances he was going to be in. He was going to be one of the victims of the most disastrous earthquake in recent history.
Suddenly, he heard something breaking into his house and before he realized what it was, it was too late. Sometime later, when he gained back his conscious, he found himself on a treetop in the company of a panther. However, the panther left after sometime. He jumped off the tree, only to find himself standing on a dead body. He immediately climbed the tree and remained there for 2-3 days. In those 2-3 days, he survived on his urine and also, licked his wounds.
That man, by the way, was quite well educated.
Even the thought of the above, sickens us. They say ’with every difficulty, comes courage’. But to survive through such circumstances, a lot more than courage is required.
What is most important, in my opinion, is the will to live.

WHEN HOUSE BECOMES AN OFFICE

Just incase, I forgot to mention that my life is, in no case, going to be easy. I have, as a matter of fact, already started to get the flavor of the above statement. Well, if you’ve been wondering, what I’m talking about and what it has to do with my house becoming an office, all you have to do is read on and you’ll exactly know the answer.
My ‘dear’ parents, in an attempt to please me, have taken TWO weeks holidays (which started on Monday, the 27th of December 2004 and will end with my holidays- isn’t that unfair?)!!!
Well, the first 3 days weren’t that bad and they actually left me wondering if I had underestimated them and their capabilities to entertain me. I was almost convinced that ‘my parents are DIFFERENT and they are my type (I had no doubt about that in case of my dad but my mom and dad together- I was never convinced).’ But how could nature rest with me content? So, BANG came the 4th and 5th days!!!
There passes no minute without bringing with it a phone call. Also, my mother needs two Internet lines. WHY? Even I couldn’t understand completely. The reason (though imposed on me) being that while she accesses her mail on special software called ROVA (in her laptop for working from any net connection that is different from the special connection of her office), cannot surf through other websites. And how does mother ‘dear’ work without google or NDTV or economic times?
My dad, all this while, was obviously taking her side. It was also left to my dad to explain me why I couldn’t go on with my SST project (worth 5 MARKS in the final exam) on MY COMPUTER, in MY ROOM.
But I guess, such are the consequences of having no sibling who can, in such circumstances, be bribed to team up with you to get your rights back.
Such are ways of life!!!

happy new yr

Hello !!!!!!!1
What’s new ?
Aditi I hope u didn’t go to masia cos 50 or 500 (not sure bout a 0) are dead there cos of u no what. It’s a small place too, isn’t it. Anyway this whole thing is really sad. People from my cousin’s school (loyola high, jamshedpur) were in port blair’s airport and they survived. All 61 of them. Miraaaaaaculous. The air port is a washout. They were close to the action and there was nothing to eat.
SHUBHI PLZ PUT THE HISTORY PAPER ON THE BLOG.
We lost to bangla. Crisis ? fatigue ? tragedy? Mishappening? Charity? the list is unending. I don’t think that we’re the 2nd best team in the world. We’ve lost to pak more often than not and we rank 8th on the icc samsung odi ratings. Talk bout exaggeration. But I still like the indian cricket team because its indian. Our winning % in 2004 has been round bout 47 %. Even the windies have a 50 % success rate. When is balaji coming back ?

Forgiving
Some say that playing the part of a charitable soul is only for those who are afraid to take a stand in life.
It’s always easier to have faith in one’s own goodness contrary to confronting somebody and fighting for one’s rights. Is it not so? The weak forgive the strong because they know that they are not capable of fighting the hardships, which they will have to encounter on the way. The strong on the other hand are the ones who actually forgive and forget. Why? Only because they don’t want to waste their time or because they possess the will power to think about the weak as well…………to think that they will be able to gift the fortitude of not retaliating to them. The answer perhaps is the latter one. Keeping quite is not necessarily forgiving. Keeping quite is actually falling into the trap of circumstances because at the back of our mind we know that our lusting heart demands nothing but revenge. There was once a studious boy who was teased by everyone at school. He was called a nerd. He grew up to have a very prosperous job and was very successful in life. People who teased him in school boasted to their friends telling them about this man being their best friend in school while in reality he was their worst enemy. It’s wrong to think that only the almighty god is capable of forgiving. And that We’ll become his equals the day we learn to forgive with all our heart because each and everyone has both the god and the devil in us.

Happy new yr . I think that we’re all going to need as many good wishes as we can gather cos 2005 is the yr of boards. No matter how much we tell ourselves that they’re like any other exams, its hard to digest. Do not lean on this. Don’t wait 4 reality 2 hit u hard on the face. Be prepared. I wish I could prolong 2004.
Talk bout putting the breaks on inevitability? Can you device a plan ? time machine, where can I get my hands on u ?

Ganguly OR Dravid??

Hi all,
I don’t have much to write today and there exists no reason for me to write today. In simpler terms, I’m writing for the heck of writing.
So, I have decided to write on a debatable topic (I’m not sure if it really is one, but anyways).
Is Sourav Ganguly the best-suited captain for the Indian cricket team?
Talking about captaincy, one naturally comes to talk about the leadership qualities. A good captain or a good leader is one who has the capability of bringing out the best in his team members and making them realize their true potential.
I think Ganguly has quite successfully been able to achieve the above.
Well, if you know me then it’ll be quite easy for you to guess the answer, which indeed is YES.
Did I hear some people ask me the REASON? Again, its quite clear, nobody else is capable of taking up this prestigious position.
Some psychos might just suggest Virendra Sehwag (he even said once that he would like to captain India). And I obviously don’t have to comment on that. I am sure; anybody would prefer Ganguly to Sehwag.
Other semi-psychos might suggest Sachin Tendulkar. But come on people, its high time he retires.
Maybe, some would raise their voices to argue and come up with Rahul Dravid’s name. I don’t completely disagree. He stands out, has his own class, and I agree but I’m not sure if he’ll be able to handle the captain’s position just as well.
However, Dravid might be the only decent person in our team, experienced enough, to give Ganguly a run for his position. So, let’s consider both of them.
· To begin with, I’d say Dravid is a lot more patient than Ganguly.
· He’s a quite leader; I’d say. Where on the other hand, Ganguly’s a comprehensive leader.
· I think Ganguly has the right amount of aggression required for the game where as Dravid has a teddy bear image. Ganguly gives more astute replies than Dravid.
In any case, both possess qualities of a great leader.
Finally, I’d say Ganguly’s unquestionably the best captain Indian cricket team has ever had. And, Dravid is, probably, the best vice-captain Indian cricket team has ever had.
Also, I believe, with these two excellent people leading our team, we can be better than any team in the world. However, we need to have extremely talented people with the right temperament (like Irfan Pathan, I’d say) and it’s extremely important for them to be in form at all times (am I being too hard? -alright then, most of the times) and have the power to fight back in the hardest of times as a team.
Do put in your suggestions on the topic.

'NEW YEAR RESOLUTION'

At times, it becomes too much to handle. You know what you have is the best but you are not convinced to give in your best. You look around and find everybody doing well for themselves and their parents and what more- find yourself as if an aberration to the world. It pains and it hurts. But even if you try to, you end up doing worse for yourself or end up messing here and there.
You breakdown and you feel as if non-existent. You weep and you howl but don’t get any sympathy cause you don’t deserve it and if you do then it slows you up. You know you’re a failure. You have failed yourself and even more, your parents. You want to fade away and that too super-fast without anybody noticing.
You know your future isn’t secure and you are the culprit. You know your parents have given up every possible thing and worked very hard for you and you are snatching away every part of theirs by not performing. Even then you don’t get the drive as strong you should be getting to perform and confirm, confirm your success and their peace.
Those times, you are sure the world doesn’t deserve you and more importantly, your parents don’t deserve you in the sense of them deserving someone far more promising and performing than you.
But then when you look on the other side, you feel you are being too unfair with yourself and maybe the world needs to understand you, your parents need to understand you. After all, maybe, you are not the only one or how about you are definitely not the only one like this. Nobody’s perfect and you are just obeying that rule of nature. Well, that sounds quite convenient- doesn’t it?
These things happen all the time with me and I am quite sure they would be happening with most of you too. Sometimes I even loose the power to think anymore and I let it be.
Sometimes I abase myself into making sure I become low at self-esteem till someone (mostly my mother or father or even my friends) finally realizes my condition and brings my spirits back.
But then again I come back to the same track. This time I’ve given it or rather given in a lot of thinking and have again realized (I hope, truly, this time) that these are all signs of losers and obviously I don’t want to be one. So, lets see, this is one of the numerous New Year resolutions I have made and I’m adding it to my list of the other tiny-miny and rather insignificant resolutions.
I hope to stand by it this time. Wish me luck.

Ps: Indonesian earthquake: the death toll is ever on the rise.Over 24000 people have been reported to be dead across the affected regions. I’m worried.
Pps: just in case I forgot to mention, our section has won the cricket match final against ‘I’ section. Hurray!!! To add, India won today's match by 91 runs. And this gives me a reason (though I’m not too sure) to forget about yesterday’s loss against Bangladesh (of all the countries) in the second ODI.

Indonesian Earthquake

I would like to dedicate this entry to all the people affected by the most devastating earthquake in 40 years.
The casualties, till now, in Indonesia are over 4200; in India are over 3500; in Sri Lanka are over 4500. The death toll is on the rise.
Over a million people are badly affected in Sri Lanka.
It is believed that about 2 tribal populations have been completely wiped out from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
The epicenter of the earthquake lies in the Indian Ocean.
The earthquake, measuring 8.9-rector scale in Indonesia gave rise to waves called tsunami, which flooded the eastern coastal areas of India and Sri Lanka, at a massive speed of about 750 km/hr.
The earthquake has caused a lot of damage to property too.
Two-thirds of Maldives is flooded and loss on large scale has also been experienced there.
It has also left an impact on the southeastern countries of Asia i.e. Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand
.
I would request all the visitors to make a small prayer for the mourning families.

BLAH!!!

Well, it’s Christmas! I thought I wouldn’t write today but anyways.
Tomorrow is the 2nd ODI between India and Bangladesh (how I wish I could have said Pakistan). A lot of records, again, can be made tomorrow. Everybody knows that these matches have been mainly organized to bring the good-feel factor again into the Indian team (which was somehow fading away with each game lost).
Me talking about indo-bangla matches clearly indicates the fact that I have nothing significant to talk about and blog-writing has practically become an addiction. So for me there’s no denying that ‘maybe I’m addicted (but all I wanna say is that ur the only reason tht I’m trying’ – alright sorry, I know u’re not here to read Enrique’s song).
Now, talking about more sensible stuff. I had gone to my nani’s place today with my cousin Raman. We had two chocolate pastries and a brownie. I feel quite bad for that- all those calories playing their game in my already fat-rich body.i’d rather not talk about it anymore. It’s Christmas waise bhi.
All right, after all this blabbering, I finally have something to tell everybody. It’s a bit senti stuff but that’s what I love about it.
I always knew that nothing like santa clause existed and all this, though nice but was a fantasy which was an adult’s creation. I don’t appreciate it anymore and this is the story, which completely changed my opinion ie this is the story responsible for it. After all, a fantasy is a fantasy is a fantasy (just like I am who I am who I am).
Here’s a little story I read on the net when I was young(which I obviously still am but this was about 5-6 years ago). Its in my own words as I remember it and a lot of parts are missing. It may not have the same impact as it had on me ‘cause I am not even near writing like the way it was written.
Year: 1950
Location: South hall, London, England
It was a gloomy morning on the 25th of December, which also happened to be the Christmas Eve. Mr. Robinson was waiting outside room no.1208, waiting for the good news. His wife was in labor. Both of them had talked about the baby and the joy it was going to bring them. They didn’t care about the gender of the baby but the baby alone. Ten minutes later, he was informed to be the proud father of a healthy baby girl. He was, of course, joyous.
As his wife’s name was Eva and his name Lynon, the name of the baby girl was kept Evelyn.
Ten years later:
Evelyn had started going to school and she was. She had, till then, grown into a loving and obedient girl. Her parents were proud of her but she was pampered to a great extent. One of her qualities that aroused fear in her parents was her belief in everybody and in everything.
Well, what they didn’t know was that they had to a large extent made her believe in the fantasy of Christmas ie santa clause.
The story further describes the time she found out the truth and her reaction to that which is ultimately death.
It may sound dumb to a lot of people but as the saying goes ‘don’t judge a thing till u know what’s inside it.’ It’s amazing how the author has put forth every situation. It’s a mesmerizing journey through a girl’s life in her part of the world. And it’s a true story.
I’ll try to get it for u people if I get it on the net. It’ll be difficult though as the author was some anonymous.

__________________________
I hear the birds chirping somewhere far
and water washing some shore
Children dance and play around
while men kill and fall in war
A smile brightens an unhappy face
a tear falls on a closed case
As our life unfolds
who knows what the future holds
All we can do is bear it with a smile
and happily take it in our stride

hey evry1
now since im off to bangalore... i thot i cud write one big blog to make up all da days tht i wont be here(dunt miss me 2 much..ppl). now i wud just like 2 tell every1 tht we 5 are glad 4 da responses we are getting...we actually know tht someones reading this (thnkfully 4 akanksha) now since aarushi is our hot favorite these days...i have something i wrote on her...sometime ago...which i know she likes alot...its nthn huge...(like aarushi writes) i wrote it in school one day 2 get bac at her......neways.....here it is
Authors note: This is totally a piece of fiction. Read on your risk! There are parts, which can be offensive, but the author is not to be held responsible!

I can walk into the class at any point of time and still see her in the exact position reading the exact same genre of book. She is the Miss. Know it all of our class. She has to participate any argument. Even if it doesn’t concern her any way and she knows she isn’t making any sense. But she must still have her say. All right I know what you are wondering. Who the hell is this person I am blabbering about non-stop. May I introduce to you Aarushi Uboweja. So now further into the topic. As I am racking my brain for the right words to express her I can’t help guessing the expression she has, reading this. An expression of anger, amusement and yet more anger which she will probably try to hide by rolling her eyes at me and then she will look up and her eyes hidden behind those frames will look for me and glare at me. (Man I am going to be in trouble!) Okay now how does this have to concern my article? I am talking about predictability. I have not even shown her this yet I know her reactions to reading this. The things that she does are mostly predictable. I mean like take my first line for example. You look at her any point of time and there she will be with that book in her hand (Either a classic or some serious writer). And please never disturb her in the chemistry period or you will get that If-looks-could-kill-you-would-be-5-feet-under-the-ground look. Which I assure you will give an uneasy feeling for a moment. An avid fan of cricket she can be found with a Walkman always when a match is on. And talking to her right now won’t be good idea not if you want to live till the day for your graduation. Okay now I am feeling guilty. I make her sound like a geekier version of Hermione (I was going to write Neville but Neville is dumb and we can’t really call her dumb.). Actually come to think about it. She is a lot like Hermione Granger. I mean she is an avid reader (or geek whatever you call it), you could say pretty loyal to her friends, has a talent for arguing and loads of attitude, when is needed, to go along with that (Ask Rastogi and Mehra if you want proof). She isn’t mean or anything, okay can be over-sarcastic sometimes and can get too stubborn about her priorities for a persons liking, but she is a nice person. Sure she could do with some counseling, as some of our friends pointed out to a teacher, but on the whole she is a really great person to have around. Moral of the short story? One should never judge a book by its cover. I mean when you look at her from a distance you will see a short geeky-skinny girl with a short haircut (which looks so much better then her last cut) and with glasses. Whose life couldn’t possibly revolve around anything else then her science book and her teachers praises. But when you get to know her you see the real her. I am not saying you judgmental (it isn’t) is wrong but there is a lot more to her than that. She is a singer (not a great one but well a singer is a singer), she reads, she can rattle off the stats of the cricket matches; she is aspiring to be a ballerina (now don’t look up at me and say you aren’t), she is pretty good at volleyball (you would be lucky to be her team mate if you can overlook her bossy outlook). Okay I am done describing her. (Yes finally I am! You don’t have to be so happy) Now Aarushi advice for you: Loosen up Girl! You have your priorities set too straight. I mean studying (even if you want to, why standard eleventh’s chemistry of all things) all the time can cause health problems (and I do think Brett Lee will do lot of good to you). Laugh, smile enjoy life ‘kya pata kal ho na ho’. By the way it’s abnormal to have a principal as your role model. I mean you need someone more your age like me. (Wink!)
neways............by guyss....miss me
shubhs
ps. have a great christmas n new year!!!!!

pps. if any1 thinks i h8 aarushi tht is not true....I kinda think da feelins mutual.... just kiddin
we are all good frends...and the criticism is part of all of of it

My Life

Sometimes it becomes so difficult to even make yourself understand the challenges of life, the limitations. Sometimes life seems trapped as if u never owned it, u never possessed it. At those times, u r capable only to feel jealous, curse yourself for the things u haven’t been able to do, haven’t been able to achieve or even weren’t able to set as goals.
I have not enough knowledge and neither enough philosophy (I’d call it) to find solutions to such situations but what I have is the power of writing and taking out all my frustrations on the paper! A considerable time ago, I had penned down this poem or song (whatever u call it) on my life:
My Life
Sometimes I feel so weird
I don’t know why I have this certain fear,
Of loosing everything
‘Cause I’m loosing my mind
And I have nobody around to make me feel fine.
Sometimes I feel disgusted,
Nobody can be trusted
Everyplace is so congested,
That I feel I’m loosing myself.
Sometimes I feel left out,
But I still bear a smile on my face
‘Cause I know the world’s not mine,
And I’ll have to help myself through the hardships of life
‘Cause this is a world of achievers
And I don’t want to be left out.

I’ll post soon enough. Until then, its AKANKSHA signing off.

divination

hello !!!!!!!!!
whassaup ?
life is a roller coaster, rock it.
EXCUSES FOR NOT DOING HOMEWORK

1. I have forgotten how to hold the writing instruments.
2. Somebody dumped my homework into the pit without even warning !!!!!!
3. I donated my books to the children of slums as education is a necessity for all and I think that I've already had my share. I thought it was time for me to sacrifice.
4. My parents didn't pay the electricity bill and so the entire house is dark and I feel that some evil spirit will pound on me whenever I touch my books.
5. My family is very superstitious about these issues. They say doing homework at home can be a very bad omen.
6. A thief broke into my house in search of jewels but my homework assignment interested him more. So I had to give it to him or else he would have surely killed me.
7. I had a very realistic dream about me having done my homework and I got so condemned in my dream that I really though that I had done my homework. I just realized now that it was only a dream !
8. My friend said that it's mandatory to cut ten trees to obtain one sheet of paper. I think it's the duty of every citizen to save the environment and protect the trees. Therefore, I have decided not to use paper. I'm just playing my part for the well being of the human civilization.
9. I get seizures every time I see text. The doctor has advised me not to strain my eyes as my power has doubled in the past year.
10. I heard the government is passing a new decree under the educational system which states that homework will me made illegal. I was just trying to get used to the legislation in advance


here's another 1. purely et intentionally pour toi.
IF ONLY MEN WERE MORE LIKE WOMEN

if only men were more like women,
what a wild place this might be,
men would do the cooking
cat fights would replace wrestling!

the hair salons and beauty parlours,
would have business beyond imagination,
as anxious men would come running in,
'do something about these hair'!!!

all sports would take a back seat,
since now the boys will start to listen,
and wonder how hours spent in the sun,
could do horrible things to their skin.

the world would be a milder place,
sensitivity personified!
as the rudeness of men
would be replaced by the serenity of women.

the conflicts in this world would stop,
the bloody past would be forgotten,
as men would verbally solve issues,
for creating enduring bonds.

'if only men were more like women',
what an eccentric piece of imagination,
every girl i know would get bored to tears,
this wild dream could ever get sanction.

live. laugh. eat. sleep but don't do the hw (kidding)

(dunt laugh)
WAR
Death I have seen
Evil I have witnessed
Hatred I have burnt
Anguish I have brought
Love I have ignored
Peace I have destroyed
Men I have killed
Lives I have ruined

I am not the cause for this destruction
Just the inspiration
I don’t dictate
Just propagate

I may not be right
But neither am I wrong
Fighting for me you’ll go far
But you have got to accept my consequences
After all I am war

Cautionary note: Parent’s Discretion is a big NO-NO to read this entry. The writer doesn’t have any intentions to offend anybody. All incidents stated below are absolutely true.
I think most of u would agree with me when I say that many a times, parents can be a big nuisance value and an embarrassment. However, for those of u who think otherwise, all I can say is that ur parents must be angels.
Anyhow, to be more precise, I’m talking about the weird n immature side of parents. Its now almost like a universal truth as has been shouted out by a lot of the so-called ‘learned people’ that every man/woman has a child in him/her (especially men). So, are sometimes our parents too loud? Do they unconsciously (I hope) go too far in a lot of things? Do they lead us down too often? Do they seem like an aberration to our world or are they just trying to fit in our world? Though it might sound rude but I hope not many would mind me saying ‘yes’ as an answer to the above question.
Today when I was walking clumsily, half-asleep and a-bit-late for the regular time to my bus stop, quite an hilarious incident occurred. The moment I reached near the zebra crossing right across my bus stop, I heard this father of an 8thy calling him in the loudest possible fashion (I’ve ever seen or rather heard of). His exact words were, ’oye jaldi kar,deikh nahi raha hai,time ho gaya hai,teri bus nikal jayegi.’ My thoughts of a lovely bed with warm rajai suddenly changed to the thought of the poor 8thy. Already,that poor guy has to go through so much as his father literally races up n down the footpath (our bus stop is located on) every morning n (believe me if u see the way he) scratches his head…..ufff….n he’s supposed to be a doctor**. But to my surprise, when I looked towards his house, he wasn’t even there! Now, u decide what u’ll call this?
There was this 11thy or 12thy, a considerable time ago who was accompanied by his mother every single day (even my mother accompanies me but this is different), was dressed up on the stop itself i.e. his hair had to be done(by his mother) on the stop etc. etc.
I’m running out of time today as my mum’s laptop’s battery is almost finished n she hasn’t bought her charger,so bye for now.
It’s AKANKSHA signing off.

wed last day!!!! yayayyyy!!!!!!

hey guys....
im sooo happy wed is last day of school.. i mean after this science test i feel like taking a yatra to the himalayas or something..........i mean no kidding...anyways...the science test truly n deeply sucked......im loosing like 5 marks in physics alone.....anyways a certain someone hasnt been satisfied with my blogs...(hey quiz for everyone which miss..im so perfect i have to make sense all the time' am i talking about??) akanksha ofcourse.....so since i dunt want any disatisfied friends...im going to write a very important blog to write...about something im extremely irritated about...this MMs scandal...i mean its so clear that the media has nothing else to talk about except this scandal....i mean its like they have no other news.....its like a fact this has happened in im sure every school.....just it has never been caught. what im trying to say....is that the media is finds reasons to deframe our school just because its a good school....i no the guy was a sleeze ball but let the poor girl alone....she made a small mistake but everyones going to make her pay her whole life... what i don't understand is why indian public is sooo horrified, its as Vir sanghvi said 'in a country where child marriage takes place'...this whole thing is an idiotic and very dumb issue...and why should our school get blamed....did the rest of 6098 of us somehow encourage this ?? how the hell do we connect to it?? i have a plea to everyone...please get over this... stop obsessing over it... its not only embarrassing but extremely annoying....don't be surprised if one of us just blows. last thing....the kid responsible is getting justice the police (for the 1st time) is doing its job.....i think we should forget about this. Period.

la vendette aka Shubhi

me gr8,we best!!

what if shubhi got to write the first blog?i get to write the second blog.since shubhi has only blabbered about insignificant things n not cared to explain n stress upon the core of this blog,i'll do so.
well,to start with,the blog's name whish is 'la meilleure' was kept by us(shubhi and me-after investing atleast half an hour on the phone).it is a french word(for those who dont know) and means 'the best'.
the reason:quite clear though ,and the ones with more logially inclined intellects would have figured out,is that we(the 5 members of this blog)beleive in the best and are the best.
any suggestion/comment on the blog is welcome and i hope to keep this blog alive.
the five members of the blog are(subject to change):
  1. akanksha bajaj
  2. shubhi nigam
  3. aditii saxena
  4. priya punjabi
  5. aarushi uboweja
