The Class Of 2K

I was posting a new topic in one of the Discussion Boards and I saw another discussion going on… about the memories of the college and I went to a flash back instantly … where I was in a black Kurata …sleeves rolled up and both the hands inside the pockets … first day you know … you got to be identified by all means.

GEC looked gorgeous, Profs looked smart and the students looked terrific that day believe me! Seniors were busy in some exam and I had no idea what the things will look like once they are back … but lets keep this post clean by writing only the good memories and editing out the bad ones … yeah lets keep the good ones (this I learned from Ray Romano’s speech on Robert’s wedding … we keep the good ones).

Only four other girls and plenty of boys in The Class of 2K2 … Sooooo yup I did not had much competition … in fact it looked boring at a glance but than came this boy inside the circle of my vision with a pierced ear and a baali and yes he too had his hands in his pockets … I knew this ones gonna click because he also seemed to understand the need of a distinct identification and he was distinctly identified in that crowd just like me.

So after all that crap paperwork and other formalities … we finally were all out in the lobby to get our much awaited introductions … our Dad’s were busy finalizing the safest place for their daughters and we daughters were busy finalizing prospective grooms for our Dad’s in return.

For some reason the girls were not interacting too much … it was all very formal hum aap types and boys were not even saying a hello but for this behavior I knew the reason …yes the gigantic Dad’s standing behind their beautiful daughters.

Somebody’s Dad suggested to go for chai outside the college (we were ignorant of the fact that Tapari is exclusively Boys Only) so we all started marching towards that infamous Tapari for Chai Samosa and on the way somehow we managed to maintain a distance of few yards between fathers and daughters … and than boooom … came the boys gang leaded by my baali boy … with hands in his pockets and the first words that we heard from him was “Aap log itana isolated kyo hai” and this became our punch line “No Isolation only unison” and we have been maintaining this till now … yes I eventually married this baali one.

The girls who were confined in hum aaps
started sharing their crush stories and uncensored jokes
The boys who felt isolated
started sharing their ragging pains and ice creams
Seniors who loved tormenting and torturing
started sharing their knowledge and notes
Profs who talked this and that
Started missing classes and labs ...

And this is how The Class of 2K2 flourished and prospered in true essence and this is how I gained the knack of Blogging and Coding concomitantly … may not effectively though ... but who cares!

One Correction : I realized this mistake after posting the blog ... but dont want to edit the title ... it looks alluring I guess ... I was in The Class of 2002. :)

Namesake…

So last night me and Ra were fighting over the name of our kiddo … ok before you frown or twinkle your eyes in a pleasant surprise, le me clear the situation, we don’t have any kid and I am not even expecting, but this my friend is our favorite pass time you know. We enjoy giving the world’s strangest and stupid-est names to our kid. I know … God bless my poor kid.

Ra always forewarns me that his son’s name should be a very much manly sort of name ... okay before I delve deep inside this … here goes one more assumption … we both believe that we will have a baby boy … so Ra dreams this manly name and he has been thinking about it since he was … I don’t know … probably in his teens … some thirteen fourteen years old … and after all those years of deep thoughts ... he finalized these two names for his sons ... okay be ready for a blast … the names are SamudraGupt and ChandraGupt … and he meant it … I swear to God he meant it first time when he disclosed his idea weaved over a decade or so.

But after all these years of being with this smart @$$ … his son’s names have became little milder… but hey watch it …still he wont compromise for anything less than his very manly name concept haan !

When I have some serious fights with him … I scare him that I am gonna name his kid Jhandooram.

When I was kid … I wanted to name my kids ... Ada and Adams … Ada is the very first person who thought about computers … and Adams is just stylish … and it goes with Ada … impressive haan ... what say? I told you I am a smart girl.

Than … for sometime I had this Aarav and Aarohi in mind … I know, beautiful names.

So you might have guessed … provided you are as intelligent as me … that I want my kid’s names to start with A … and if possible … with a double A … so that the names are always on top … wherever they go. After holding a name that starts with A for all these years … I know all the benefits of A … Thanks Mom Papa … I love my name.

And I suggested the same to Ra … for this he had one instant intellegent solution … why not start the names with a numeric character … like 0ChitraGupt … or 1SamudraGupt … So now you must have understood … why my poor kid is so very scared to enter our world … but don’t worry my chweetie pie ... Mumma’s here … she will save you from all the evil ideas of your Baba … so please come aboard … we are waiting.

(FYI ... All the names mentioned here are copyrighted to me and Ra … if anybody steals these names than be prepared for the worst … ChtraGupt, Samudraupt included … and we hold a patent over that numeric character waala idea)
