"Love" Chapter-3


Note: My Apologies for making this post very late. Though I have done writing this post long back I was unable to publish it in the right time. There are obvious reasons for not doing so. I also wanted to mention that our episode "Love" settled at No.1 spot. Beating "The Day I lost my Cool" And the blog stats were rocket speeding. My heartfelt thanks for all your support.

 Okay. One would expect me to be in section "A" but all is not well with me. I had been pushed to section "B" after some internal politics I must say. Being utterly poor at mathematics my mam decided to take on me. I had no other way than waiting for 12 long moths to check with my fortunes back. Days are now going dry. I lost my interest in academics and started struggling hitting the bottom lows. There must be some move on I thought. I gave a gentle push towards sports. That's the only place where I can be myself.

Science fair was on cards then. With 20 days in hand everyone started making their projects with a great interest. Anything other than studies is completely acceptable for me. So I wanted to participate just to create an opportunity so that I can makeup sometime with Anu. Usually I end up watching the preparations and extend some help whomever are in need of. But this time it's different. I'm thinking of my own good these days. I guess the Complan I take daily is working out this way. We are now upgraded from kids to children. Some sort of maturity levels achieved. Similarly society does create an awareness on how to behave at times and all such related stuff.


It's not like the projects that we do in the final semester of our Under Graduation. It's something really very crazy once we take a look back after 15 years. Those card boards, thermocol, sketches, paints and hell lots. The fun was supposed to be at peaks back then. 

Hey! Ankit. Wassup?! Did they assign you any task?! Anu asked.

Yeah. They wanted me to be the Floor In-charge. I lied. 

Basically the duty of the floor In-charge is to monitor the classes and make sure there is no damage done while the science fair is in progress and make a report at the end of the fair. 

I wanted to surprise her with my project. I don't want her to know anything related to my project until it was done. So I kept away from her.

Hey Anu. You know something,  Ankit loves you deeply and so badly. Uttered Ramesh when I'm not around.

Ramesh is so-so friend of mine in the class. Though we have been together since Class 1 I never expected him to create such a damage to my love life. And the consequences that follow will be similar to what we see in Bollywood and Tollywood cinemas.

For God sake I tried to keep away from her all through the Science fair. I'm dying inside for not being able to make some conversation with her after what Ramesh did to me. I actually wanted to kill him at that second. But he is the only source we have when we are in need of cricket score updates. So I can't take the extreme step for my personal reasons.

At the other end Anu is now determined about keeping me away. God! Worst times are on the way. And this is enough for the rest of the guys to celebrate my lost love. And girls giggle at me for no reason.

2 weeks passed by and I can now be the one useless guy in the class with no proper ironed uniform, incomplete notes and with pending home works. Basically teachers always comes first when it comes to scolding kids in front of their parents. Just because they must have been in such situation with their kids. Unless they are not like me in academics. So they take it as their birth right and straight away hit the right pot.

I used to go with her rickshaw in the evening and look for Anu. A single smile is what I expect from her. But she never did that for me. All I do is having a samosa near to her home and get back home with hopes of tomorrow.

How I braved Anu Aunty and Co-Founded a Million Dollar Company


Don't Worry...I'll make sure Varun is back on track. Anu Aunty sounded determined. Her Large Red Bindi and fiery orange sari set the room ablaze. I broke out in a cold sweat. 

Twenty-something Varun is in a fix. he shuns the corporate rat race and dreams of becoming an entrepreneur. Armed with an unwanted engineering degree, his hours are filled with friends, pub-hopping, and 'Stalking' the girl he loves on Facebook. 

But when the formidable Anu Aunty enter his life, his languorous existence spirals out of control. She tries steering the course of Varun's destiny by scheming to bring him on 'track'. His mother turns on the Bollywood histrionics and drags him to a counsellor. Feeling cornered, Varun hatches a strategy to hoodwink the canny aunty at her own game. But as the chase heats up, who will have the last word.?! Will Anu Aunty thwart his plans to found a million dollar company?! Or will he succeed?! Along the way, Varun learns his best business lessons from kitty parties and the ubiquitous aunty.
 _____________________________________________________________

What Varooon, Still Sleeping at this Time?! Anu Aunty was at her very best to peep into poo's internal affairs. At the other end Varun was experiencing the worst phase in his life. Its quite common for an Engineer to be at home even after completing his Graduation. He was an absolute "LOSER" as far as her mother and Anu Aunty is concerned. More than that they find him confused. No proper idea on what to do next. While Anu Aunty's only son Arjun was at his peaks working as a Techie for a Multi National Company and draws reasonable sum. The story revolves around how Varun overcome the challenges that he come across finding his own way while starting his own new Company.  

It was a wake up call for me too as I find myself completely in the character of Varun. Lets keep it aside for now and get into the content. The idea of Alma Mater started at Noon Wines. And what a way they had done this in months time. Starting up a company is never an easy job. And I'm no good at hinting you the guidelines to be followed starting a company. It's all there in the book. 

Hoodies?! Basically I love them. But I have no idea that it was called a Hoodie. I used to call them with some random names that I utter most times. But now I came to know it as a Hoodie. And Varun was all interested in doing all these. There was Mal with him and they both were in this Business. While Anu Aunty was busy to make Varun as a Slave for some Coding and Testing makers company. And this Varun tries his best to escape for that moment. 

Advantages of having a Facebook profile was penned down in a clear cut manner. Devika must be Fab with her profile picture. Gujju boy's role was hilarious. The conversation between Sid and Varun at Spiga's was a lolifying moment. 

Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates made their presence in the middle. Perfectly placed quotes. And Indians are yet to find their Steve Jobs. Fact is we Indians don't have the courage to encourage something good and innovative. We find reasons to terminate the young ideas. For instance they pointed the age factor in Varun's case. There must be an end to this. 

Being a Techie alone is not making you get going. There are hell lot of opportunities waiting at the other end of the coin. Be the lead than an follower. 



This is what I have done on my Facebook TL once I finished reading the book. 

"Following all the updates of Alma Mater. I'm sure many of you never heard of this before. Take a look what Alma Mater does. Hoodies for Schools and Colleges. This was fucking cool. Sounds great isn't it??!. To know more about Alma Mater guys just seize the book titled "How I braved Anu Aunty and Co-Founded a Million Dollar Company" I'm done reading the master piece from Varun Agarwal. Totally impressed. We surely have had come across "Anu Aunties" till date. This was totally out of the box. I can't spill anything more than this. a MUST READ for Adolescents."

Rating: 5/5

No look back.

I have to give 5/5 there is no other go.

"Love" Chapter-2


The moment I reach the backdoor of my class room I saw the maths teacher coming towards me with a smile, patted my back for submitting my work in time even though I wasn't there in the class. I was stunned.

Soon I reached my desk and found Anu nowhere. I rushed to the next section where she used to have some banter with her friends. I failed to find her there as well. Checking through the corridors and the result was the same. She must have gone somewhere without letting me know. I returned back to my desk with no interest in attending the class without her. 

Then I found her friend hinting me that she had submitted her homework by my name and she was now in the staff room writing the same work 10 times as a punishment. OMG!! I was totally taken by surprise. She has the habit of checking my books daily. In case if I missed something in my homework she used to fill the gaps. 

What else can I say about this girl. She is my darling. It may really take another 45mins for her to get back to class. I have to do something really surprising for her. I started contemplating. Hindi period was going on that time. I have poor knowledge as far as Hindi is concerned. My madam used to threaten me with her humorous words in Hindi. I never bothered to laugh at what makes her to consider it to be a joke. I laugh at whatever she says. Now, back to action. I have limited time left to act and I have chosen to sing a fab song for her. I'm all ready. 



She was a little surprised to see me in the class. Her plan was to be back in the class before I could get to know what all had happened. She pretend to be normal. And now its time for Social Studies. My madam used to shout at top her voice to make sure her voice is audible till the last bench. I must say her voice is audible enough to the entire floor. 

Thanks! Is what I whispered to her in the first place. She gave me a smile. Cute one. She looks so good when she smiles. And the next plan was to show her my singing abilities. She burst out into laughter once she heard me singing. How come girls laugh at ones own talent.?! I don't think I'm that bad at singing. But soon realized that compared to trained singers I am way bad. I better be a bathroom singer.

We used to keep talking about all the happenings at home and what their uncles and Aunties brought her from Abroad. And how the singing classes were going on and what plans for the next day. End of the day we indulge in the Ice cream which comes on a kind of cart. It was an absolute bliss having an Ice cream with her. We then move to nearest fancy store where we can get Uncle Chips and Cheetos. It is the time where Uncle Chips and Cheetos were making the best in their respective business. We collect the fun cards that were dropped into those packs. We used to play with all those stuff back then. 

Class VI :

1 day can change the course of your life for the next 12 months. Having a number of 80 per one standard the management has to split the number into 2 sections 40-40 each. The point is that they don't split according to the merit. If they had done that we would certainly land up in the same section. But they pick the students randomly and if any teacher has dislike towards certain student she can refuse to take him/her under her class. Everything went up nicely until my name comes. There was a tie breaker. Will I be in 'A' or 'B'???! Anu settled comfortably in section 'A'.

"Love" Chapter-1


Okay, Anu was so good at singing. She has participated in many of the regional competitions and won many medals too. I was so darn proud of her. Actually she lives the life to the core. Her commitment towards her activities shows the way how she enjoys doing certain works by her own. She used to hum her favorite songs to me when the class wasn't that interesting. I enjoy being and listening to her with all ears. 

On the other end of the coin I was never involved in any of the events organized by the school management. I hardly speak facing a group holding the mike with trembling hands and shivering legs. At that time all I wanted was to spend time with Anu. She makes me feel complete. Btw I used to actively take part in Sports events. Glad!! I have won limited number of prizes too. Not many compared to Anu. I'm happy for her success. 


 Hey Ankit. Are you coming or not?! Screams Anu on phone. 

Yeah. I will be there by 8:45AM. I replied. 

Okie. Lets meet in the school then. Make sure you have done with Maths home-work. If not just forget about being in the class today. Anu pointed out. 

Damn!! She always sends the warning bells at peaks. I once again failed to complete my home-work. I know all my class-mates are such nerds. They never come to class without doing their works. So I have to take alternative steps to make sure that I complete my work before mam enters the class room. 

Okie. I have done the home-work. I lied. 

We hung up with Bye's. 

 All I planned was to reach the school by 7:30AM and get the notes from one of those nerds and do a copy-paste process. Somehow the plan didn't work. 

As a routine I was looking for her at the main gate. I never miss a day waiting for her. Though I have loads of work to be done. I consider this to be the one that mattered the most. 

Once I see her coming we greet each other.  (We used to exchange Good Morning and Good Nights daily) It feels so special. Basically friends find it very formal to greet each other. But we feel great about such habit. 

Management set rules to be followed. And we are here to break those rules. And I'm quick enough to design a plan to escape the beatings from the maths teacher. 

Here is the plan made in seconds: 

Right after the prayer is done. The students are supposed to go back to their classes in an uninterrupted straight line. We have some leaders in charge who thoroughly monitors the students whether they are perfectly dressed or not. If they are found to be imperfect they are supposed to run the whole ground for 5 times. And I prefer the latter ones. 

The goal is to run the ground 5 times than getting scoldings from the real "night-mare" with Anu around. So to get caught by the in charge I have to overstep my polished shoe repeatedly so that it gives an unpleasant look. Luckily the leaders are smart enough to drag me to the other end. 

There are only 2 places where I love to spend most of my time in the school. One with Anu and the other was in the Ground. I feel so fit running for 5 rounds. Finally the Goal was accomplished and I have made an escape from the maths teacher. 

But I was totally wrong with my calculation. I have miserably failed in timing. My teacher had something in stock for me. The time I enter the class I was clueless.

Love

Prologue:

 I was waiting for her arrival. Usually it's me all the time who waits for her at the school main gate. As soon as the rickshaw enters the street there appears a huge grin on my face. I never understand why it comes so very natural when I see the rickshaw carrying her coming towards me. I feel elated at her arrival. It indeed makes my day.  



Albeit I see her in the same costume 6 days a week yet she looks stunning every day. I have a great urge of meeting her hairdresser as he does fine job. He must be an expert in doing such dressings. The tantalizing aroma of her Gokul Sandal makes me go mad most times. The way she looks and smiles at me have no words to frame. 

Once we reach the class I make sure that the bench is all clean and there was no sight of dust in and around the desk. I always wanted her to be in clean. We are friends from ages. We studied for 10 years on a trot. We never allowed anyone to join us. It's me and her everywhere. 

5 years down the line. A series of events happened which drifted us apart. I was the one at the receiving end all the time. We are now strangers. We hardly speak when we meet at public events. Though I still had feelings for her she never bothered to consider me. She keeps on ignoring my calls. And finally she calls me one day saying something which excites me..!! What did she say?! What happened next?! 

This post is all about reminisces of my early days. Characters will be named in the next post along with Chapter-1.

Resolutions 2013.


"Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, some make it happen!" 
  Take a read of the above lines once again. The more you read the better you understand. We have those 3 people in our system. And now, let me cover those 3 people in shortest way. 
Resolutions are what people make for every new year and it's highly appreciated that they are ready to allocate sometime for their own goodness on the very first day of a new year or a new chapter what people call it usually. Resolutions differ with people. Some have in common while some have weird ones.  
 Some make it as if it's mandatory to make something on that day. They never mind of looking back at what they have made. They just live the life as it comes. 
Some wish to follow their resolutions. In the sense, They stand tall for the first few months and give up in the middle. Finally they wish it would have happened.  
Some make strong resolutions and stick to those till the last. It's never an easy process to keep going. But they makeup their mind in doing so. They are the ones who eventually end up winning. 
I have been making some resolutions for the last couple years and I must say I have done better achieving the desired targets. Not 100% but at least of 65% 
 
Coming to Resolutions 2013: 
1. I wanted to be a published Author.
2. Get settled in a Good Job.
3. Will do something good for society. 
4. Will have to keep blogging consistently
5. Reading books as much as I can. 
6. Want to keep my parents happy
I guess it's enough for 2013.  And I don't think all the above resolutions are that difficult except the first one. Really. Never an easy job to write 60,000 words. At least I wanted to make this year as a platform for what makes a good Author. 
Job makes life secure. I will have to face a big battle ahead in the process of job hunting. I want to bag the right one. Something good for the society is what I have never done till date. So I wanted to fill the space. 
Will keep blogging consistently. I know I can do this for sure. Blogging is what makes me feel happy all time. If I make a post a day. I consider that to be a productive day.  
I have seen my parents struggling for the last 21 years. They have done enough to me. Now it's time I need to give them something which makes them feel happy. So accomplishment of the 1st two will certainly makes them so very happy. 
That's it. I have started my day watching Life of PI. My first 3D movie in theaters. Loved it. Do watch it.
