Vis Major

Today I was supposed to submit a report and our lecturer had clearly told us to be in college at 12:30. For a change I decided to be there 15 minutes early, I was happily walking down the corridor when I looked across and saw him already in the hall with students already present. I looked at my watch just to make sure it hadn’t stopped or that I had read the time wrong and it was actually 1:15. I looked and it still said 12:17 but who cares about the time I started running and all of a sudden felt an inch shorter in one leg. I broke a heel! I looked around saw no one thak! Broke the other heel shoved both into the bin and surprise surprise the lecturer was taking a class for the LL.M students. – I call this bad luck :(

I went around feeling bad about the heels but then the legal aid camp was announced. In my batch I have PBFEBTKOLS as the accompanying advocate, and all my nice friends K,P n A. oh what joy if what happened earlier was bad luck, this is DISASTER!!!!! [Tsunami level disaster :(]

So here are a couple of the many things I have learnt in college:
a. NEVER date your own classmate, if things go wrong you’ll still be stuck in the same class.
AND
b. NEVER ever ever challenge an advocate in a verbal battle in the classroom.

Is this my Karma?

CLARIFICATION:
the terms "whether there are any remaining" to be construed very strictly :)
the terms "remaining" is qualitative and not quantitative :)

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 ...
