Sshhh..Koi Hai !!! :D
It was about 12:30 at night and i was watching some movie on my comp,all alone in the room and the lights swiched off.I sat on my chair infront of the window on the left corner of my room that had a glass pane,the pane was just shut but not latched from inside.My room window faced a big grass lawn that ended in the hostel boundary wall.Engrossed in watching the movie, it was sometime later that i felt some distraction by the inconsistency in the amount of light that came from the window.Instantly I turned my eyes by 90 degrees to look at the window pane.There was some yellow radiation falling on the pane that was dispersed throughout.I tried to pay some more attention, stared at the window for sometime.Only a moment later i figured out that there was shadow of some object that resembled a hand(with five fingers) touching the pane and may be in an attempt to open it .With no further thoughts that may cause slightest of the delay, i took away my headset, threw them away on the floor and hastened myself to the door.I was so horrified that I kept trying to open my room door that was actually latched from inside.
Quickly i rushed to the room infront of mine(Richa and Anu's) .When i told them everything, they reacted the way i expected them to.They both were quite amused and said its quite normal if i imagine even the most horrible thing and may be this was all the consequence of watching too many horrors and thrillers.I didn't try too hard to convince them because I was myself not too sure whether i really saw a "hand" on my window.Still they agreed upon accompanying me to my room and have a check ;).We switched on the light and as we stared the pane,there was nothing i can or anybody can see.While Anupriya was quite sure about my hallucination, she sat on my chair and doing smthing on the comp,i kept convincing Richa about the shadow I saw.Then just as my last attempt i switched off the light and tried to see & show something on the window.Meanwhile, someone among the two..Richa,i guess prompted "Ab tak to jo bhi hoga, bhaag gaya hoga"...
But suddenly the same figure, quite enlarged this time reappeared on the pane and frightened all 3 of us.Anupriya(being closest to the window) suddenly sprang up the chair and all three of us screamed quite loudly and hurried outside the room.Even Richa said "Sach mein koi hai!"
Listening to us some others arrived to my room and then began a serious investigation from within the small window ;-)
After sometime, we realised that wat really was the root of all Horror was no human hand..but a peculiar shaped leaf of a wild growth just outside my window :))
Well this incident proves that i really get frightened easily, nomatter how much i deny the truth but my neighbours are neither too bold nor brave as they might claim ;)

Summer of 2006
Again I am writing too late, but again nevermind..better late than never ;-)
Last couple of months had been a bit tough, a bit more work and load than its usually in my share or rather thats I pefer to take on my head. First the fear of not getting a proper training opportunity, secondly the dilemma whether to do a project in IISc under a HOD of SERC Dept or to go for a official training at Mentor Graphics,Noida and all that under the loads of final days of the 6th semester.
After some contemplation and advices, I finally joined Mentor at Noida for my 2 months Summer Training.Since I reached about 3 days before my training was to start I explored nearly every place in the vicinity that I cud with my elder brother on his Bike.
The bike drives on the smooth and clean roads there were nodoubts too good to enjoy,as compared to the Varanasi roads where even the most grand bike wud be forced to run like a rattling cart ;-)(The roads outside BHU Campus).But I came up with a sad conclusion that Noida has nothing much to see and visit than the Malls and may be just some movies in the PVR's or some shopping but that option was highly improbable in the absence of a female company :(.
Well then my training commenced ,went on and on, the routine became slightly monotonous in between but still the work i was given was good and interested me.With the two months of this new kinda experience I really learnt a lot both professionally and personally.Now I can say these two months had been most productive holidays that added loads both to my knowledge and personality and i certainly enjoyed the company there with most co-operative and amiable people around me.But the real importance of weekends was soon realised in the corporate life as compared to the student life where each day can be made more or less as good as Sundays(atleast here it is so ;)).
Now when I m back I recall that my daily sleeping routine was a bit weird then.On 5 working days of the week I used to sleep from abt 11:00 p.m to 6:00 p.m and then one ,too essential refreshing nap of abt 1hr from 7:30 to 8:30 exactly .Only then i used to rush to the office.Well mentioning here why i had be so weird to fulfill my sleeping dose seems to be a bit risky job but i can very well take the risk now ;-).Well the reason precisely was my elder brother, he used to wake up early in the morning to leave the home exactly at 7:30, and meanwhile i had to study (or atleast pretend to study), to avoid lectures and scolding right in the morning.
And what followed was a pleasant suprise,on the date(30th June 2006,Friday) when my official training period finished, I was offered a PPO(Pre Placement Offer) by the senior HR Manager.Not to mention, i was really too happy to hear the news, that i cud hardly pay any heed to wat she spoke for the rest 15-20 mins.The next day was a busy one for my brother,with loads of work he had to shift from Noida to Gurgaon.Still we managed to enjoy the first half of the day with a movie and the lunch outside.And thereafter, i was permitted to sleep as much as i want ;)

QuickUpdates@MyLife.
Hmmm....too late this time but again floating on the waters i m,while too much resting on the river side this time ,....and made it now partly cos of some realisations made by my friends abt my untouched world and partly cos of the boring reading i am going through right now.
Not that interesting events have ceased to occur in my usually "boring" life or i was really too too busy(well that surprisingly never happens wid me)...but somehow i cudn't motivate myself enough to an extent to write anything.
Well, so on note of updates of the World at my End ,...it wud be really unanticipated if i forget to mention abt the the winter expedition that was kinda long one (2nd Dec to 21st Dec,2005), officially known as Departmental tour scheduled every year for the 3rd yearites after the 5th semester.The tour although intends to carry out as many industrial visits as possible in order to provide the students with ample exposure to the office environments etc but only we students know that the mission remains almost unaccomplished every year,and the more abandoned the mission the better is the batch considered...cos this is something thats on the minds of we future technocrats since the beginning...see the irony!
The tour covered the following places--Bombay,Goa,Bangalore,Ooty and Mysore...visited in the respected order.U can very well guess that everything was so impeccably planned( courtesy: my class boys) to leave no stones unturned for a fantastic winter this time otherwise Ooty and Goa wud never been there on the list.Well whatever be the case,the tour was a real real fun that cudn't be expressed in words in this little space.Apart from visiting places,shopping and trying out regional food at every place ,there are some memories/experiences that wud stay alive and as fresh as they were forever and ever,and if only time was in my control i wud have stopped it from moving ahead.
Back to BHU on 21st Dec,2005, a really short visit to home this time , then the usual new year celebrations in the hostel....the new year 2005 ,a very significant year for me and some others,marked by some pronounced events, some dissapointments already and some real strong resolutions taken on day 1 and broken on day 2;-)
Then the usual birthday celebrations, not with too much of bang....but yeah..a lot of partying(three till now) and i hope & pray for no more now:-).Seems to me that number of parties is directly propotional to the year u belong in IT BHU,because i remember i gave 1 party in my 1st yr, 2 in my 2nd year......so does that that make four in 4th year???:O....Even in that case i shud thank God that the B -Tech degree comprises of just 4 years :)
As over a month of this semester is already over,time is seeming to fly away
like anything, probably because the institute events are occuring one after the other in a flash....and everybody around is so busy!
And as as each day passing on... the 0verheads on minds are loading on;-)!!
Last but not least..."Get On ,Get going...and do plan everything,b'coz if u fail to plan,u plan to fail."
Will be back soon...
Priya.

Before its too late!!
There dwelled a feeling estrange from the starting,
Poor heart, deluded by your brain so cunning.
Never a talk, it was just the acquaintance of eyes,
That beckoned you two into each others sides.
A deep desire within to sit alongside and have a talk,
Pondering over the ways over how to manage a walk?
Trying hard to convince "It is just an infatuation",
Unlucky you, this has been your misconception
Fact is, you hardly managed to throw away her thought,
Just because she is the only one who was ever sought.
Might have curbed sometimes in the background,
But comes instantly, in your thoughts profound.
Farthest of the distance couldn’t wash it away,
The unfeigned feeling in the end did find its way .
Even the factor of time couldn’t help you much ,
Since it was only her, the end of all your search.
A long time has elapsed , but the emotion still exists,
Throw away the reluctance now, that still forbids.
Who knows there is a surprise waiting for you,
Affections on the other side are the same too.
Nothing to fear, for the admittance so veracious,
For its just you who knows they are too precious.
So long it has been now , but its never too late,
To pour out your heart and to have a better fate ;
And to confess it all, without which you cannot make!
Priya.

salaam|namaste(outside Cinema Hall):Film Review
This next post of mine was planned to be dedicated to the film review of this new movie starring Saif and the Pretty Woman but here u will find something more intriguing and worth reading...
The movie was ofcourse awesome (after all we played the major roles)..and enjoyed too in the end...seriously!!
*STARRING*
in positive role:
1.A Nepali Aunty(as was appearing from her appearance,nomenclature by Anki:-))
2 Anki,Anu,Priya & Shubhra :-)
3.A girl in blue top( Miss X),And her boyfriend(supposedly)( Mr.Y).
in negative role;)
1. A lady in blue salwar kameez and yello dupatta
2. A lady in Yello saari
Keeping in view that today is the first Sunday after the movie was released,after a little sesion of some confusions and fuss in the hostel,we four reached the movie hall at abt 2:15 noon.
So the movie starts 45 minutes before the scheduled time:-)
We saw that the queue was a bit long but then relieved to see that the ladies' one was much shorter,Anki stood in the line and we 3 stood beside her talking on anything we saw around us and PJaying as well :)...Abt 10 mins passed and i cud realise that Anki had hardly stepped ahead, I inquired as to why not even a single girl got a ticket till now and left the queue...and I was answered by a lady infront of Anki "Ticket waali khidki khulegi tab naa"....Aah!! it was already abt 2:30..and the place was already too crowded.."how can they expect to sell all the tickets in jst 15-20 mins or so??"...but there are no options!
So we waited...Had the premonition that getting into the hall today won't be a easy job(if at all that was destined)..and Anki will have to give a good fight to get us in.
Finally the "khidki" opened ..Thank God!! but along with this cool news..someone prompted from behind that the tickets in black were already on sale.Well,no worries for us, for we had jst abt 5 ladies infront of us...& we were pretty sure for atleast we four before the scheduled time for the movie.
So atleast watching the movie became sure!:)
Then comes the real twist in story, someone said that one person can only take 2 tickets at max...no probs! Shubhra makes her entry..and stands behind Anki...myself and Anu right beside them:)..Miss X behind Anki in the queue was kind enough to let Shubhra in.
Then Aunty in blue suit makes her grand entry,this new entity was appearing right infront of the window...from where did she come?..someone said that she just managed into the queue from a side path to let out the ones who have already bought the ticket.The ladies in front became furious and asked her to join from back,and we also started supporting them :-) ..making the environment bit lighter;-)
Initially the tone was peaceful
"Auntyji hum log bahut der se wait kar rahe hain, aap please peeche se join kariye!"...
But aunty just ignored us,on repeating our dialogue she just gave us a glance..and carried on!..Oohh!! that was too much now!,she doesn't even care to reply.. someone from behind said Aunty bolengi unhe to woh nahin sunengi",and we started laughing.."to fir daadi bolna chahiye kya";-)(someone amongst us prompted again)...
Well we ignored her thinking its all futile talking to her,and one person more won't make much of a difference.But then arrived the another negative character in the story,lady in yello saari...she kinda "squeezed" Anki and Shubhra in the line ,entered & stood in front.Now that was limit..!The movie was abt to start and ppl around were taking advantage of our generousity mistaking us for the dumb ones...but they were kinda wrong...all generousity should be shown only to the ones who really deserve them..... and ofcourse,no compromises when it comes to movies;-)
Everyone else in the line including us were trying hard to convince them to move back..but in vain!The lady in saari was all the more obstinate and we said so many things but no effect at all...how can someone elder behave so kiddishly?..Her attitude was really really annoying.Shubhra literary shouted at her,but all vain.
Shubhra::"This is teththerism yaar"...wow what a new word!...but mind it,its not english ;-)
Well with very little hope of getting in now,we still waited for something better.The serious scene created there was soon turned to a comic one...
The lady in blue suit still struggled hard to put her hands into the ticket window,
I tried for something lighter as always:-)..just in meagre attempt to cheer my friends..i began kinda singing
Priya:"Peela dupatta neela suit"
Anki:"Chali chali yeh ticket ko loot"
Unknowingly this became a bit loud and the whole environment burst into laughter:-) specially the "nepali" aunty( who was standing in front of Anki in the queue),she continued laughing even after a long time and was really too humourous!!
The aunty in blue suit seemed to overhear the joke pointed at her...didn't matter to us much
Then a trick came for the "other" one too (for the aunty in yellow saari).
I told her "Auntyji someone is calling u, he says its too crowded,and u shud leave"
Aunty::"Who is calling?"
me::"How do i know auntyji..he just asked me to call u,the lady in front and in yellow saari"
Aunty::"Okay!tell him I m just coming ,I m abt to get the tickets"
Probably she anticipated my trick,and the smiles on our face made it all the more obvious...doesn't matter:-) once again!...we were having fun...and once again the "Nepali" aunty added spice to the whole scene.
Sometime later husband of "nepali aunty" (Uncle)arrives.
Uncle::"Chalo yahaan se ,black mein tickets le lete hain"
Aunty::"Arrey chodo ji,mujhe yahaan bahut maza aa raha hai"
Uncle::"Par movie ke liye late ho jaayenge"
Aunty::"Asli movie to yahin par chal rahi hai"....In the whole conversation she was laughing away merrily...and seemed to be enjoying so much that she didn't realise when she actually shifted from 3rd position to 4th in an effort to listen to our gossips:)
Finally,her husband shrugged off & left and she remained there itself with us.
What next??
The black tickets soared to the double rate..And what cud be worse? the "khidki" was shut again!
All the "encroachers" and the sweet "nepali aunty"also left...now we were the first ones right infront of the window..but of no use until its shut..We already resolved, that we won't buy tickets in black.. whatever be the case,after all if citizens like us will encourage all this,who's gonna stop all that??;-)
We were just abt to leave,when Mr.Y says
"how many tickets u ppl want??"
"four"
"There r just five tickets left inside"
"Yooo!!"
But there are total of 6 contenders...we 4 ,Miss X & Mr.Y:(
We rejoiced(being on front) but the expression on Miss X face turned dull instantly....Mr Y suggested her something..
"Tum dekhlo inlogon ke saath, main bahar wait karta hoon"..wow,so much concern.thats really appreciable..But as expected,Miss X won't agree to this atleast...Now what???
It was already 3:15 and someone said the movie has already started,and neither of us was in favor of watching this movie from somewhere in between!
So before our roles turned into negative characters between the sweet pair which seemed to be sad just bcos of us ..we decided to walk away so that atleast this story might have a happy ending !...leaving them in utmost happiness right infront of the "shut" window:-)
Finally,back to the hostel..:-(and writing this blog on demands of few "special" ones!!:-)

Treats & Feasts.
Wat a lovely season!!
Come on, don't peep out of the window now ,there is nothing relating to the Sun or Clouds...what I m talking abt is this time when we don't have to bother much abt saturdays( cos on Saturdays our mess remains off in the evenings).... & everytime there's someone who gets on to us to greet to his/her Treat,or rather its the other way round & its we who get on to them;-)....hardly matters!!
But what matters r the cuisines & the place...the idea of trying something new in the city is always appreciated.And another thing that matters is the occasion.... B'day,New Job or something else...
These months hold on with maximum no of B'days...B'day Treats r just awesome!!.Even yesterday it was a gr8 day.As u all can expect it has to be adventurous & extraordinary, after all it was Juno's B'day( I hope u remember what happened last year ;-).....) & I really wonder what must have happened when she was actually born??
Not to mention, the eminence of being a junior is well experienced when u r the part of this institute....but there is some kinda gala feeling when u r the "seniormost juniors" of the final yrites! With the placements season on & present scenario going quite well (touch wood) , there is a sort of festive season all around.......and the best thing for us are the TREATS...some already done with , and many still left!;-)......So all I have to say is that ....Well seniors...u just keep on Rocking & Treating....and we r always there to take care abt the rest & making ur day a memorable one;-)...but mind it that can be "either of the ways" ;-).
At last, a sincere thanx to all the "Treat Sponsors".
...from all of us!!
