....at school

Since i teach class 3 kids, i get to read a lot of kiddy poems n stories. its usually those silly (shudnt call them silly...they r written by the most famous child poets!), sweet, rhyming poems. its good fun to read them n the kids enjoy them too. but today i came across such a beautiful poem. it was a kiddy poem, but i felt it was very deep. its a pity i had to teach it to the kids, who really do not know how to appreciate poetry. they only read poetry on the surface n never get into analysing them. i wish i taught older students, say class 10 or 11. it wud b so amazing to have them analyse the poem...

poetry has always been my weakness and i loved it all through in school in college. after school n college i never thought i would get to appreciate it as much. suddenly i feel discontented wit my job...i cannot remain teaching 8 yr olds. though its a great n an amazing experience every single day, i want a teaching job thats more challenging.

let me see what i can do about it......

the more i think.............

i hav a weird habit of thinking too much. well, ok...a lot of ppl think, but my problem is that i ONLY think n then never actually end up doing anything! i think i'll join a class, n then i dont...i think i'll read a book, n i dont....i think i'll bake a cake, n i dont. n this also happens with blogging...wenever i'm doing something fun/interesting, the whole time i keep composing as blog post in my mind. i always think i will go home n write abt it...n thats exactly wat i dont do. if i cud actually show u how much i've "blogged" in my mind, u'd b surprised!!

i was at delhi recently, n quite obviously, i mentally blogged a lot. but now that i'm actually here, i'm not writing it down...sigh...if only i didnt think so much....

i think i'll stop doing this...i wont think... :P

fake fake fake!

being fake n living a lie is sometimes a lot of fun. well, literally.

my friend roshni needed a fake doctor's certificate, so the two of us were out to look for a doc who cud give us one. it was really one of the funniest things i have done!

i knew of this doctor in my para who wrote fake doctors certificates. so we went to him. but the chamber was closed n we were asked to return after 1 hr. she was tired after a whole days shooting (yes, she is acting in a film) n i was exhausted after attending 3 weddings in 3 days. we both knew that if we went home, we wouldn't b back. so we decided to hang around.

i remembered this other place, a few yards away where fake certicicates were available. we headed there, only to find that the doc wasnt in the chamber. the doors were ajar n we saw the prescription pad lying on the table. i really wanted to steal it n then write the certificate ourselves, but roshni didnt. i donno what came over her suddenly (she is usually a bigger prankster, always willing to do such things). we sat around for a while, we even laughed loudly at how terrible n dirty the chamber was...no wonder there werent any patients around. we decided to have some fun and so called out "daktar babu achen"? n that was it! we split up n cudnt sit there anymore. i still insisted that we steal a page from the prescription pad, but she didnt agree.

anyway, it was almost time to go visit the 1st doc, so off we went. this chamber was better, though we did find a paper attached to the table fan that said "switch e haat deben na...dewale switch tipun"! but we somehow controlled our laughter. tokhon hashte shuru korle, we wud not have been able to control ourselves in front of the doc.

the doc was pretty sweet, tho he was this old man n was quite reluctant to give a certificate without getting into the heart of the matter. roshni was forced to act sick and also both of us lied like crazy! we told him everything from her being awefully sick to her having been kicked out of the house by an evil aunt! it was sooooo funny!

somehow got the certificate n we ran out of the place, laughing like two insane women on the road! it was a lot of fun, n so, like i said, being fake and lying at times can really b a lot of fun!!!

goodbye to u...my trusted phone

am really upset n pissed as my fon conked off all of a sudden. well, not quite, but almost.

i was very 'close' to this fon of mine...it saw me thru new loves, heartbreaks and even put me on the social map...it was my constant support system, on which i relied for everythin...

but like they say, life is unpredictable and it comes to an end...so my beloved fon had to leave this world someday for its heavenly abode as well. the sad day was thursday, the 26th of November. When i woke up in the morning and glanced at my beloved fon, I had no idea it was going to leave me...i even used it so many times thruout the day...

it was old and its time had come. i was planning a euthanasia for it anyway, and perhaps shud have done so earlier. it wud have saved my fon the ugly death it eventually saw....sigh!

i have a new fon now, but i still miss my old fon...pray for me and hope that i get over the loss soon

vacation...??

its been almost 4 years since i went on a vacation....of course i went for weekend trips to shantiniketan n shankarpur, but that was abt it. i feel so bored! i so badly wanna travel. i wish i cud go on a Europe trip, all by myself. that wud b so cool!

but europe can wait...i cud go anywhere...i jus wanna get on a train or a plane and go somewhere...i'm so tired of going to the airport to see off n recieve ppl!! ufff...ki chaap!!!
this is strange, considering i am the only person i know who has so many holidays n vacations. i think its time i did somethin abt it...so am planning to go to delhi in december....the only prob is that i have 3 weddings to attend...but my school vacation will still b on (i love my job!) n i think i can manage 4 or 5 days.

yey!

but the prob is convincing my dad. he somehow still feels that i'm a little girl who cant b on her own. uffff! though i wonder why this thot doesnt cross his mind everytime he bugs me wit a shombondho! wat a paradox!!!

but will figure a way out...delhi here i came! yey!
