The Wimp, The Roach Stars and a MURDER.

It was yet another boring day in college, with nothing much happening around us except for the usual chattering, clackclacking and bakbaking. For some reason I was extremely quiet that day till my friend came rushing into my class telling me she'd spotted a roach and wanted me to catch it. Something is better than nothing, so I went and caught the roach. Now it was my friend the roach and me. Then we saw our real prey walking towards us. Lets call him The Wimp. The wimp always has a happy smile on his face and a nice guy in general but definitely lives up to his name. He's scared of looking at cockroaches! This was our fun time and I showed him my prisoner and he started running. He pretty much understood that I intended to set the roach on him and so began the chase my friend and I in pursuit of The Wimp. Finally I decided to just wait outside his class, the guy had to enter it at some point of time. By this time the roach was in my friends hand and when I saw the wimp approach the class I decided to hide and in he walked, right on cue into the trap. BOO! said I,the guy was so startled he just lost his balance and fell back hard on a bench. CRACK! It was an astonishingly loud noise. Everybody turned to look at me and I knew it was time I retreated to my own classroom. Yelling my apologies to the wimp I turned to escape, when came The Wimp's friend and said, "Hey, Show me the cockroach." By this time I'd turned into a meek mouse and was just about to show The Wimp's friend the roach when he took my hand and clasped it real hard. Crack!( This time a mild one, like an egg shell cracking) The next thing I know my hand is all damp I opened my palm and on it lay the slain roach. For no fault of its, it had been murdered by The Wimp's friend. The wimp was happy that yet another roach had been wiped away from the surface of this earth. Sadists! A sad day for the roach community:(

Google Pixel XL - Review

Image
I had been meaning to change my phone for over a year and it was then that this phone had caught my eye – The Google Pixel XL. I had read so much about it. Found that a lot of people that I am surrounded by had no intentions of getting it. Here is the thing, my sole reason for investing in a gadget has to do with the following: ·         Its price should be within a certain range i.e it should not burn a hole in my wallet. ·         It should at least be guaranteed that the product will be receiving software support for a minimum of 3 years. ·         It should have excellent user interface to make life easy and be a tool for communication as well as relaxation. ·         It should have a good camera. ·         Its accessories must be easily available in the market. It’s with the help of this list that I short list...

Hey Little Girl... Part I

The little girl aped her elder brother. To her, he was the coolest dude that existed. She was the kid in school who was spoken to because she was so and so’s sister. As a kid she was extremely naïve. Her brother was the quizzer, the topper, the teacher’s pet, the social guy and everybody liked him. She on the other hand was the brat, the swimmer, a teacher’s nightmare, anti social and didn’t want to be liked by anyone. They were polar opposites of each other. Her brother - the witty charmer and She, the *shrugs shoulders* and very impolitely leaving conversation kind of person. Perhaps… the younger version of her envied the ease with which her brother was able to make friends and be at the core of everything that was happening in school. The fact that they were so different and studied in the same school eventually led to teachers constantly comparing them. It wasn’t anything she couldn’t handle. But imagine a little girl always being chastised and all sermons ending with, “why ...

The Journey

Last weekend was amazing. It began by me traveling solo from Mysore to Madras. I plonked my bags at my best friend's place. Her roomie, she and I headed to Mahabalipuram where we saw the famed sculptures carved out of single boulders. The carvings are pretty intricate and the sight is very pretty but the highlight of the visit was a monkey. While we were leaving the place we saw a troop of monkeys and one of them immediately took a fancy to my friend’s roomie. Now this girl is scared of almost every animal. It became very obvious to her that the monkey was eying the bottle in her hand. She threw it at the monkey. The monkey picked it opened the bottle and gulped the juice and looked so pleased! It was a sight. It does not seem hilarious in print but it was incredibly funny. But before going to Mahablipuram we stopped at the Crocodile Park where I learnt to hold a baby crocodile and also a python. I actually felt the crocodile gulp when I was holding it. The place ...
