things that happen in the girls hostel....

they say that girls have more fun...here's why:
1.everyone's (especially shruti's and my) affinity for rachana's deo...rachana says that we spray it on ourselves as if we are spraying mosquito repellents...that may be true due to the infrequency of baths...
2.loud singing (especially versions of enrique's hero) which would make the singer wonder if he would rather have us fried in boiling oil or have us thrown into a sea full of sharks...
3.waking people up with the loud banging on the door...except the one supposed to be woken and on whose door the pounding took place...
4.having to listen to swear words on doing good deeds like waking people up at obscene hours...
5.roaming all around the hostel looking for water and then waking people up from their slumber to take their buckets...this has happened with me quite a few times as being on the ground floor we get more frequent supply of water(and by frequent i don't mean 24x7)
6.standing on the corridor discussing the latest gossip...but i think the guys must beat us to that...guys definitely gossip more than girls do...
7.having to clean rooms...now that isn't exactly fun until you get some of the dirt into other people's rooms...
8.watching movies like goonda...cooped up in a room...
9.playing football in the corridors...or at least trying to...and then watching the attempt turn into a attack aimed at a person's head
10.discussing sizes of foreheads...and who will make a better housewife...or in some cases, who will have a better househusband...
11.emptying bottles of safi and milkmaid and cold water and a horrible smelling deo all at once on a person on her b'day...hope you had fun shruti...
12.sending random messages to guys on dc and completely freaking them out...that's liza's favorite pastime
13.locking the doors of people when they are sleeping and then completely forgetting about it...and then...
14.putting up the message that sigtia and devina are dating on dc...a wonderful concoction of our devilishly fertile brains
15.running in the corridor with bhalu and with devina shrieking after you...
16.trying to enter malvika's room...
17.watching shruti wake up...she smiles...or trying to make her open the door on a hot day...
18.stealing shoes and then making liza mad...she had workshop that day...and that was lakshmy's doing
19.giving people company when they wash clothes...even if its at three in the night...
20.trying to get treats...????
21.going around begging for food only to discover that the hostel is out of food...
22.finishing off someone else's tang...
23.doing silly dances to completely inane songs
24.getting drunk without booze and acting like completely drunkards...lakshmy's coffee does help sometimes...
25.eating the inedible food that we cook and better, making others eat it...
26.samhita's obsession with skin...hers and everyone else's
27.running after kittens and trying to have races with them
28.watching liza laughing and speaking(trying to) at the same time
29.watching sneha carry her entire range of beauty products into the bathroom
30.rachana's solution to everything- the big bong theory
shruti's solution to everything- whining
liza's solution to everything-physics???
lakshmy's solution to everything- words
samhita's solution to everything- vicco turmeric ayurvedic cream
priya's solution to everything- lo'real beauty products
sneha's solution to everything-food(it seriously helps...)
devina's solution to everything-bhalu
malvika's solution to everything-clean and tidy rooms
my solution to everything- zzzzzzzzz
31.freaking people out with my 'depressing' pieces of poetry
32.screaming out a person's name at high decibels...this is especially fun when you have 7 sneha's, 9 ramya's etc in the hostel...

thats a lot of stuff...i bet the guys can even put up one fourth(thats 8 for those of you bad at calculation) of that unless they include their inane and frivolous( philosophical??????) conversations on whether the purpose of life is happiness or their podiatrist jokes that don't always induce laughter...rachana is way more funny...
and in case u are wondering...yes we do sleep a lot...considering the number of disturbances we have, our hours of slumber generally tend to stretch out throughout the day...
and this isn't even the complete list...will definitely be adding points to it at some later point...
till then...
waiting to write more about the fun that a girls hostel is...
and return back home(yup...thats still there at the back of my head all the time...)

ode to the hostel life

its time that i wrote about something other than tennis updates.........so i'm going to start off this writing session by writing about my college and hostel. well i study in a college in one of the most beautiful touristic sites in india.....atleast i thought that was the case untill i actually landed here. going to beaches is a distant dream, i've hardly stepped out of my college campus. this place is beautiful only as long as you are visiting and not living here. i reside in a girls hostel........an extremely fun place to be in. just day before yesterday, five of us stood in the corridor in utter darkness and completely destroyed and massacred some songs. it was so much fun. who needs guys at these times? girl company can be so much fun, i discovered only after moving here. and then there is the perrenial gossip. a major topic of gossip and discussion is THE INSTITUTION......lets call them XXX.........ooooooh do we love talking about them. they are these group of completely idiosyncratic, narcissist and self absorbed people..........am i being a bit too harsh. doesn't matter, i'm sure that they can deal with it. but seriously, they are this bunch of kids( though they might no longer classify in this category, i guess that they all must be over 18) who bitch about each other behind each other's backs. m and n have infact actually bitched about p in front of me. p is probably the nicest of the bunch, not probably, she is the nicest of all of them. wait wait wait........ i'm talking about THE XXX in my precious blog.....they are not worth wasting print space for. i was talking about my life in my hostel and my college. well i generally like the hostel life except for the intense stench of hypocrisy all around. kind of stagnates the atmosphere........ god....whats wrong with me???????this was supposed to be a jolly blog and look at all the depressing topics i'm talking about......
well lets start afresh. hostel life is pretty nice. except not getting to enjoy all the pamperings of my mom and dad.........but i guess that bereavement from the nest is something that every youngling has to go through( heeheehaahaa i can't believe that that crap was typed by my fingers. maybe i should try out a career as a shrink or something of that sort......i'm good at this). well my corridor is pretty nice. there are these times when me and ds and mp and sneha(she was the only one sporting enough to allow me to use her proper name) just start dancing(mp's a great dancer........the way she moves must be setting so many guys hearts aflutter) and singing(ranging from nursery rhymes to bon jovi to the my and sneha's current fav "you're beautiful" to classic songs(my forte). and we render such horrid renditions of these songs that if the composers heard us they would probably skin us alive and boil us in oil......just so wanted to use that phrase.......my friends think that i'm addicted to death and gore just because of the kind of poetry i write........but i beg to differ. true i'm fascinated but then i can write happy stuff too.........like now. anyway need to end this bracket, is a rather long one). another aspect of me that i learnt after moving here is that cleanliness isn't one of my virtues........but irritating people is...........or so sneha and ds say. mp hates my style of cleaning so much that she has actually snatched the broom from my hand twice and swept it for me. not that i mind that action once in a while but now she doesn't do it anymore. (no worries though, get it done by the ecoclean people, charge me 20 bucks for it........)
before i forget, i have to, have to, have to, talk about laxmi( she luvs being called that). i like her. i admire her. she can be a pushover at times. though she's much better at not being bullied into doing things nowadays.(ladies and gentlemen please standup and give a standing ovation to me......atleast i think i should get one, what say lakshmy?)she got this amazing storehouse of polished swear words that she frequently utilises. she has amazing vocab and gk that can amaze anyone. a pro when it comes to jammin(compared to me anyone's a pro). she is the most popular girl on our campus and actually has two guys vying for her affections(keep it on). she says that she doesn't believe in any superstition other than drishti. hey........this is becoming a testimonial for lakshmy rather than describing the fun times we have spent together.....cheeeeez..not happening......lets see......welllllllll she claims to have eaten 20 strawberries today, but me and some others finished off atleast 10, i'm more than sure of it................maybe i'll write an entire post about her sometime later on.......someone should enjoy reading it....
next we come to rachana.............can she sleep.....she sleeps and sleeps and then sleeps some more. her visits to the ground floor have become sparse(yes rachana, u got it right.........i'm complaining). she gave me chickoo today. thank you for that. when she came here she weighed a mesly 38.8 kgs. she claims to have gained some weight, but seriously one can't really tell the difference. she is a genius when it comes to physics. she can dance but she wants to learn some fisherwoman dance.........huh....
then there's lae, she's another genius at physics..........there are too many geniuses around me........not a good situation.....anyway she's my gossip source. she gets me the juiciest and most scrumptious pieces of gossip. she also had this major crush on her physics teacher whom she also derides for his complete lack of hygiene or so i'm told. she also has these really devilish ideas and is currently sitting behind me and thinking up plans to play pranks on some guys......
i'm bored. this is not the kind of stuff i usually write about.....life as we are living it.......blah blah blah blah......
maybe my friends are right................
maybe i'm some kind of psychotic maniac who thrives on writing about gore...........
or maybe getting up at 3:30 to do the darn subject of eg is taking its toll now...................
whateva be the case.........i'm goin to end this blog right here right right now!!!!!!
or maybe a few lines and moments later
i'm thinking of putting up a post about my school friends........wotsay?
naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
that'll be equally boring.............
i'm sorry guys but none of u are that ineteresting to write about......i'd rather devote blogspace to wriring about lets see.........tennis.....
here's to our everlasting(hopefully) friendships and unforgettable hostel lives...........
signing off waiting to go back home(yes back to mom and dad).............
xoxo
