Seven....
Finally….the exams are over …watta week tht was man…I will put it down as one of the most eventful “happenings” in my life…Am warning you..u mite not find it really interesting,,,but I am sharing it neways:P..
Day 1 – landed at the hostel and was supposed to share a room with a girl I has made friends with the last time….now the distance tht u have to walk from the gate, to the rooms, to the library, to the canteen is quite a lot…especially if ur not the “I am a health freak “ types… so I had to walk up and down nearly five times (ten both ways) to find out accommodation status….and finally given my problem solving skills, I chose to take up a room….and watta room it was….there were three beds. And it was the most funnily shaped rooms ever…with one bed in every corner tht was jutting out…looked like some devil with three horns…and the walls and the floor were so dirty…like someone had scratched the paint of the walls …and there was black stuff all over…enuf to depress u..
And if u refer to my previous post abt how scared I am abt staying alone…well here it comes…scribblez I must thank u for ur post abt how u shud learn to overcome ur fears…but this way!!!…I hadn’t imagined it…so the next day the woman who was sharing her room with me left./..and I had to stay alone…now during the day its ok…but in the nite??when u look out of the windows all u see are huge trees and shadows…u can hear dogs howling, and the whistles of the watchman walking around with a lathi..and the occasional giggle of a few girls walking by…now thts a pretty scary combo to me!…and yes…bravo for moi but I did manage to sleep alone in tht shady room…after repeated attempts at trying to get a frnd to sleep with me (not tht way)….i cudnt succeed… she refused to set foot into my dirty room..(now it was still my room so I cant obv not call it mine)oh and there were these tiny mosquito like insects tht kept biting u if u didn have the fan on.. but u wud get really cold if u did switch it on….so…pretty painful…
Neways exams went on ok…felt a lil lonely initially but it started to be good fun…now the second exam is like on and I have an irritation in my eye which seems to get worse and my eye turns red….see brilliant me think there is a speck on my contact lens and I rub it even more….and I see this teeny tiny lil hole…so obv eone around asks me not be be stupid and wear my glasses…” no one is gonna marry u here”…is the retort I get when I say I look silly in glasses…(I was quite expectin to hear…no u don’t look silly…but nevamind.. beggars cant be choosers)
So nerdy me wearing glasses starts wrting my exams the next day…and I have this brilliant head ache tht doesn’t seem to go….and the next day I have an amazing stomach ache which also refuses to leave me….so by now I am pretty much irritated and cursing my luk…
The piece de resistance is to follow…the day of my last exam…I am explaining some crap to someone…and I dunno what happens…my glasses fall…and yup there is a nice crack on the left lens…so I write my exam trying to look thru the crack…and eone asking me” why did u break ur glasses?”…yea rt like I wud do tht so I can just suffer a bit more!…and I also go to my viva with them….even I found myself funny to look at when I saw myself in the mirror…but thts besides the point…by the end of it..i had ppl telling me they wanted to borrow my glasses cos they were my sympathy gear and wud help in the viva…
Neways I did feel kinda sad leaving the place..inspite of the happenings….now I can laugh abt it…and think of the nites that we sat and studied outside the hostels under the lites…getting drenched in the rain and acting like fools…gorging hungrily on yuky mess food….downing it with iced tea…..sigh……
p.s…as an afterthought…I neva neva wanna repeat wat happned then inspite of the fun!…

What a series of unfortunate events...however you are back in one piece plus now you have an interesting story to unleash on people.
I used to wear glasses and had teh same type of probs with contacts finally had laser surgery done at Agarwal hospital, chennai... it's been a investment that's worth every paisa.
welcome back! ;)
heh now thats a real funny IM back post!!:)ive done the cracked lens bit, quite impossible to look thro isnt it!!!and the headache after is probably worse than the worst hangover you have ever had! and of coure BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!hehe
@sj - yup!...i was just waiting for something to happen b4 i left ...nuthing did fortunately!...and the laser thingy works only for ppl who fall within certain parameters...
@ has to be me - thanks:)
@ yogi - crappy headache didnt leave me for quite some time!..glad to know i am not on a lone boat:P.....hey stay alone in some place like tht n u'll know!...someday i'll make fun of ya:P:P
Hey...A peep into hostel life...Hahah...The stories r so much the same in every hostel..my sis too talks about all this crap...U had a hole in your contacts...Thts an achiievement...I have had contacts for like 6 years n didnt manage to puncture it so you r one unique person...To be followed by cracking your glasses...Amazing! But great, tht phase is over n you can look past tht! :)
sympathy never helps in the vivas but bluffing does! best of luck for ur results !
Peace
g
congratulations for exams being over..
Its horrible to hear of the whole process...but i guess now in hindsight it would seem alright...
All's well that ends well
so now we'll see more posts from u??
:)
Welcome back!
Its' Murphy's Law, dear...what can go wrong, will go wrong. Anw, alls well tat ends well ;-)
:) i have stayed alone quite a bit, and just picking!:D
that is quite a story... broken glasses, broken lenses, broken exams (you cracked them right?)
when you need friends to come over and be there for company, you dont ask them to come and sleep (anywhich ways)... next time around try and reframe the question and get the right results :)
results pe darooo mangta hai :)

@ jackt - thanks !best part was tht eone was actually being very sweet to me instead of only making fun:)
@iyer - see wht all we have to do for ya:p...par beer ke saath vodka aur tequila bhi!..me a no beer person,,,personally i think it tastes like sour vadu maanga thanni...if u know wht tht means!!
@ Generally speaking - yup ppl told me tht i need to to have a spare pair of glasses so i told them tht my glasses were the spare for my lenses...but considering my luk...yea i shud do tht from now onwards!...so neone travelling with me...beware.....
@da rodent - long time no see dude!...u were in a hostel as well??cool...in chennai?
hmm..when in a situation like that, you are like- o god, why me.....but later it makes a great lunch time story.had a hearty laugh at ur expense..
And i wld do anythin to see you with those broken glasses..
@arpita - adi paavi - someone almost took a pic...tho i politely refused..not interested in publicity u see:P
why am i: uh!! lady., you vanished off the face of earth for a brief period.. I was here all time :P
I was in hostel for 4 years (UG)., and then lived alone for 2 years (PG) :) It was good fun. I did not do my college in chennai. UG was in Coimbatore and PG was in Madurai..
whyami: actually arpita is right., it would have been a picture perfect shot. you should have taken a picture of yourself with the broken glasses.. :P
Hehe, tat's call just plain ol' bad luck, hon!
@da rodent - hmmmmmmmmmmm.....considering there is so much demand :P...i shall think of it:)
