Lots of things have happened in the past week....
Firstly, Abhu and I finally went and paid the canteen fellow our dues while he shot nasty glances at us. Read this to know what had happened earlier!
-------------------------------
Secondly, Abhu happened to entertain me once again with another of her chemi lab faux pas. She really has a stock of them ready of boring afternoons! Today, we were supposed to perform an experiment, a part of which required us to take some dil. acid in a test tube and add it to another solution and blah blah. I was rinsing the burette while Abhu was to fetch a test tube and fill 10 ml of acid in it. She went to the test tube area (or whatever). She returned after 2 minutes. I was merrily rinsing away to glory when I heard a frightened Abhu shriek with horror…
Abhu:*looking at her finger* OOOOHHHH there was acid in that test tube!!
Test tube falls and breaks.
Me:*disgusted* Hullo! You have broken the damn test tube.
Abhu:*washing her finger under the tap* I didn’t break it! It broke on its own. It had acid in it!
Me: Er… is it wise to wash skin with acid on it with water? It should be er.. an exothermic reaction producing a lot of heat and all nah? Your finger should be burning. And what do you mean by there was acid in the test tube?
Abhu: Yeah, there was acid in it. That’s why it broke. And there isn’t ANY exothermic reaction taking place. *mutters something incomprehensible*
Me: Whatever. Hullo!! Test tubes don’t go breaking when they hold acid in them! *giggles wildly*
Abhu: *blushes shades of pink* Er… well.. whatever. I didn’t break that test tube though. It just… broke. Mysteriously or something.
-------------------------------------
Thirdly, TC, Abhu and I have made the second page of the Times of India!! One morning, while I was online, orkutting I guess, an excited S (sister) rushed into the room with the paper in her hand and pointed towards the picture of a girl with brilliant, gorgeous, absolutely envy-worthy hair sitting with her back towards the camera at some café…
S: *smiling meaningfully* Who’s this?
Me: *with an air of nonchalance* That’s me and my hair duh. *tubelight jalti hai* OMG!! That is SOOO me!! And Abhu, with her profile visible and TC with her whole damn face visible!! Woah! We’re celebrities!
S: Where and when was this?? And why have they picked pictures of nut-cases like you to write a story on ‘GenX’ ?
Me: Excuse me?
S: Nevermind, carry on.
Me: This was back in August! The four of us- me, TC, Abhu and T (another friend) (taurean friend) had been to CCD for a while. We were just having coffee when this reporter type fellow came and started clicking pictures around the café. This has happened many times before also, but no one ever printed our picture! Well, anyway, they were lucky we were there that day. *gestures around like a movie star*
S: Shut up. I have been on TV, newspaper AND on radio. You are only getting the taste of stardom.
Me: Hullo?? This is my second time in the newspaper, okay? First time I’d made the front page! That too not as some anonymous teenager, but well, as an anonymous (but really nice) dancer. Hmp!
----------------------------------------------
Fourthly, S has discovered a novel way of shooing ants away. Read this to learn more about S’s enchantment with ants. She says, if one whispers lightly to a group of ants, they disperse. One mustn’t talk loudly. Only whisper. She even demonstrated this little thing to me. My! Was I surprised! It works, people, it does! Try it :)
---------------------------------------------
Fifthly, I have successfully downloaded Dark Side Of the Moon. I listened to it (only a couple of times so far). I liked it. Suk, tu bach
---------------------------------------------
Sixthly, this one describes my mood rather well…
I hear you Calvin, I hear you!

@bhargav-
//wait till i die
what makes you think u'd make the newspapers when you die even if u weren't written about earlier? hee, if u make it in the newspapers if and when u die, that kind of means in a way that you would've already made the newspapers earlier. SOOO it wouldn't be your first time. phew! :D
