A class to remeber :D

heyyo!!
Hmmm.. this time I cant think of anything to blog about, but as I'm sitting here bored, guess I'll write up something to kill it(boredom of course!)
Hmm.. Oh!
I've got an idea guess ill write about this class we had in college.. It was great.. I mean the class as in the lecture was drop dead boring but whatever happened other than in class was fun! at least I felt so.
It was sometime in the middle of the semester. I guess it was a Monday or a Friday or some day in between of those all-classes-cancelled-totally-free-to-bunk days cluster, Oh this day had a few classes but owing to its positioning very very few people had turned up. Needless to say the rest were happily settled off at home(that pleasure only being enjoyed by the Chennai-ites)!
Shockingly I hadn't gone home and was stuck in this boring class room with a prof who didn't care what people did just kept muttering(to himself) great facts of god knows which subject!;)
The class starts off and I was happily seated in the side row last bench, great view of the class but nil of the prof or vice versa. Not even his droning voice could penetrate the air barrier around myself( or maybe coz his voice is really faint) but whatever the reason was the position was great for a good morning but slightly cramped nap. I had a slight fever too, I'm sure its due my over-sincerity in bothering to attend this class(but did I have a choice, attendance was taken for every damn class),so just put my head down. Coz rest is what you need when ur ill right!:)(with pleasure!!)
Suddenly this girl, brown eyes(names changed...obviously!) wakes me up.It seemed as if i had slept for like an hour or so.I checked my watch and saw it showed 11:35 when the class started around 11:25, pls..don't tell me this watch too has stopped working! This semester alone i can say around 3 of my watches have got damaged irreparably1 now not again!!:( I just had to check my mobile and found the large clock on it displaying 11:36!! what even after i slept time ceased to move!!This is unfair i cried!! Ok..Ok... now back to why she woke me up.. i thought maybe sir was looking this direction wonder why, maybe coz i was seated close to the window and he was enjoying the sights outside it, god knows! what runs in his mind!!But no, the first thing she asked was, hey name that new madhavan movie na?? man, man..where was this world going to people asking me details about Tamil movies..whoa! She was busy planning the free afternoon she had ahead(sadly only her, i had lab!:( )She was busy collecting data about the theatres and the show timings(at least she had something to keep her busy and stop from dozing off).The she started the planning train of thoughts and guess she spent the class fruitfully.Seriously everyone comes for this class considering it as some time pass class, i tell you most were busy taking down notes(but mind you of some other subject or busy filling records).
Didn't wanna sleep again so i thought maybe ill try enjoying the sights and sounds outside the window.Ahh..there was a crowd of cows out there(u think crowd isn't the collective noun for cows:p who cares). there were some that were tall must be the mumma and papa cow, or their aunts or uncles who also lived in the same campus, but as there were many tall cows(now now don't imagine some 7 foot tall mutant cows all that i mean those full grown ones). guess they followed joint family system, but man! seriously a big family. Or maybe their relatives have come from other pockets of this village we are in and the localites of the campus were taking them on a sight-seeing tour. never know what they were up to, there were so many kids (i.e. those thin baby cows with glowing skin which they i guess will soon get dirtied and ll rival the elders) they just kept loitering around, found a good green patch for themselves and started munching, kids followed in. don't these cows get bored eating the same thing day after day after, no spice no masala nothing, how do they survive and become so fat also... What would a fat cow say, i became so coz i couldn't resist binging on the lush green GRASS??? what??? the rate at which they keep chomping relentlessly, i guess they too are responsible for global warming, isn't it so??!!
Between this solace of thought another friend Ms.Kutty(names not changed:P) started calling all of us and guess what she asked for?? Stones.. she was almost in the first bench and was absolutely irritated and wanted to throw something. getting excited by this idea and silently ditching her busy planning schedule work;) miss:brown eyes started breaking off the beads from the end of her dupatta and started throwing it off on the empty metal bench in front of her and man! that did make quite a lot of noise. But still our busy prof: Dr. mumble jumble didn't hear a thing. was still in his sweet world of whatever he was muttering or scribbling on the board. This did wake me up for sometime and look around the class also. there was Ms:man;)busily finishing off her record work totally oblivious to all the crap going on around her, her face had the expression like that of a man(no pun intended;) or maybe;) ) with an aim and that nothing whatsoever could come in between. i bet even if Mr;mumble jumble intercepted her work, she would kick him hard and continue(not that all of us wouldn't try doing that but she would definitely!!!:)) The guys were busily sleeping, playing something or messaging others who were in similar stuck positions!:D
Similar to this is what happened every class and bet you my situation was pretty much the same in the exam too!!!

Healthy fantasies!

What was it that made us run and play always when we were kids.. and now all that joy is happily forgotten for other so called delights like watching TV, or getting glued to the net!!
All these came to me in an incident few days back...
i was tired after having this very long arduous day in the lab. just wanted to reach home asap. As i was just about to shut the elevator, a bunch of sweaty kids come running in. "Oh God! why today..the journey to the 4Th floor is gonna be stinky and noisy!!":( But then what did i see just half the bunch enters.Now, now what are these kids up to.. I saw the other half taking the stairs.They put up this bet about who'll reach 4th floor first and ring the door bell!
Ha ah! how dumb! how can these guys run up faster than the lift which is mechanised and takes up the shorter path! But believe me i was dumbstruck when i heard the doorbell ring just as we reached the fourth floor..These guys in the lift were like crap, they've reached and broke out from the lift..
I don't know what keeps the adrenaline pumping in these kids, but whatever it is, good for them, makes them run and enjoy the true beauties of nature! We have happily forgotten or have ignored all this, but it definitely doesn't mean anything good.
Seriously then I started thinking maybe even I should go out and play sometime. Belonging to a family where morning walks are a daily ritual and even during heavy rains I find my dad either taking umbrella and going for a walk or walk around the house a hundred odd times. Dunno whats it about being fit and exercising daily in my family, but one things for sure, those genes have definitely missed me!
Still even after hundred odd provocation and at times threats from my parents i have hardly spared a thought about exercise,;) the lazy genes are just to dominant in my body, but these kids seriously made me feel worse..
But maybe i should start of atleast trying to keep myself healthy and fit.Wait who am i kidding..No chance! ;)
Some habits die hard!!:)
yawn!:)
