Alma Mater…ADIS (Part I )

I’m writing this piece of my biography sitting at a desk in an AC room in Intercontinental Abu Dhabi(a ***** hotel..no stars on keyboard…hehe)
I assure you there would be no additional points for guessing the circumstances that brought me here…
Nways coming back to ADIS …my school years in ADIS are filled with bitter-sweet memories….many close friends, wonderful teachers…Most of the days would begin with a prayer to Almighty…in the morning assembly…’God We thank Thee’ or the Hindi prayer ‘Daya Kar Na..’ ….I said most of the days since some days ….fortunately …we won’t have the morning assembly. I’ll tell u the fortunately part in another post…a post about the morning assembly…
If our class teacher cared about such facts of life..like the morning prayer…some of them did..;) …then they would ask us to recite it…else the day would start with a math or physics period.
Having a math period on the 1st hour of the day was fun…in most cases..i say most cases…as it also depends on your math teacher or whether u have a pending homework which u had unfortunately planned to finish copying ASAP. from the class nerd during the 15 minute break…. ;) …BREAK was a very small part of the time during our school hours….unlike other schools which have 30 min to 1 hour break…we just have a MERE 15 minute break!!
K…I have divided these 14 years of schooling into 1st: KG to 4th (don’t remember much..but I guess it was rather uneventful… ;) ) 5th till 7th(bitter memories…..miserable school life…k here were some teeny-weeny sweet memories too… ) then one entire post for 8th std. (recuperation time from 3 miserable yrs…I’m not kidding…) and the last part is 9th to 12th (almost fabulous… ;) )
K I have to stop here…will be there with the other parts very soon…
Till then

Back To School

No..this is not what u might be thinking… ;)
It is not one of those back to school ads which keep popping up on the TV and the newspapers when the vacations (seemingly short!) get over and it is time to go back….those ads used to be painful reminders of the grim fact that it is indeed time to get back to that(oh so dreadful!) school and the monotonous schedule… dashing towards the brown boring bus before the (really frustrated ) driver decides that it is time to stop honking and go ahead with picking up other not-so-sleepy students…..
Oh …I’m getting carried off… the alma mater memories are for another post…nah not now..
Okay coming back….this is the time when I went back to school….as an ex-student..I remember the times when we used to look up to seeing the ex-students…some were real babes n dudes when they were not wearing the oh-so-plain uniform…after 1 ½ years was overwhelming to say the least..
It was great to see all my teachers…so happy..Adis(dats the name of my school…in case you didn’t know..) had undergone some structural changes during my sojourn at nit calicut…there was a new stadium stand around the playground…a new block was constructed in place of the basketball court which was shifted to a secluded area behind the audi... and some more not-so-worth-mentioning changes… ;)
I met some of my close friends…some sweet juniors…my oh-so-adorable princi n the always-puffed-up headmistress(in appearance …u know…k …I’m not being mean..merely stating a fact).
I also accidentally met Mr. Turtle Neck…our administrator who takes it upon himself to discipline the students and if possible humiliate them …his fav pastime.. I always thought that post was a waste considering the fact that he was the one in dat post… ;) and the fact that there were already many posts…princi , hm,headmaster, supervisors for KG, juniors and seniors…
I went to each and every block in the school…to meet every tchr who had taught me during my 14 yrs of schooling. It was a nice feeling deep down inside when I came back home… my mind churning with fond and the uh-not-so-nice memories…
Okay dat was one day during the really long 3 month vacation from nitc….it was sweltering outside…but it was definitely a great idea to go from block to block n meet my wonderful teachers..

FANAA FOR U!

Yeah I just saw the movie yesterday…its okay…or is it really??
The first part is fine…I loved the songs….but when the terrorism part starts I’m somehow reminded of dil se…only one difference…there the heroine was the terrorist…
and both of them die in the end..
Okay I know there was no visually impaired girl like in the case of fanaa…but still dat movie has some similarities with dil se...
Actually , I was all geared up to see the movie…but my great friend killed my enthu. By blatantly telling me what happens in the end…n stuff like who aamir really is …she is seriously a kill joy…!
But yours truly is a good girl…she will not tell you what’s going to happen in the end….nah she won’t spoil the fun…
Anyways go and see the movie..it has a lot of serious dialogues….some ppl say it is kind of chaatt(okay I guess it is NIT trichy lingo… it comes from the hindi word chattofying)

Fanaa has a storyline which from time immemorial (not kidding!) has been tried and tested in many hindi movies….some where true box office hits while others sunk into oblivion without a trace.

Fanaa has a really fabulous star cast…Kajol’s grand comeback after a long time…and then the first pairing of Aamir and Kajol…they are a great pair…fabulous.
k...nothing else ...go ahead watch the movie
it might be worth it....;)
