PIECES OF ME!!

Monthly Update
Yep, I am back with my update on happenings of last month. I doubt you're interested, but I intend to make complete use of my supposed right to freedom of speech and expression. That's if some dumbass losers don't block my blog!
I'll begin with the 'good stuff'
~ Roo's party !!
Super fun! I've always wanted to go for a costume party...only hitch was that I didn't exactly have a costume on the day of the party. But I guess my dress did make me look like quite a lot of things...Helen of Troy, Farm girl, Flower girl, Lil Bo Beep, Bride's maid...pick whatever you like.
~ Thailand!
I don't have any life changing stories or spiritual tales to tell from there...but all I can tell you is that this place was super fun. The water sports..the rides...the cruises...the shopping...It was all fabulous!. Oh and it's the only place I've ever been to where my brother was getting warnings instead of me...thanks to all those hookers and homosexual men. Too funny!
~ The dance show!!
In 5 years of dancing I had never given even one single dance performance. The excuse I gave was that I like to dance for myself, not for others. But in these last few months I've realized that there sure is something about performing on stage. The whole getting ready before the show…checking out boys here and there :p…trying to sneak out to get better seats…the yelling and the screaming… this show has been one helluva experience.
~ My 1st visible dance injuries!!
I must sound crazy right now...but inspite of the fact that every part of my body still hurts like hell, there is something nice about being able to show off your dance injuries...
~ Movie marathons, insane photo sessions, shopping sprees yada yada...
No more do I feel deprived of certain good things that life has to offer. ;)
And the 'Bad stuff'
~ Exams!
Please don't ask me to stop cribbing coz my result hasn't been all that pathetic. It's not only about the results. These exams have ruined my life in a lot many other ways. It's really not fair that exams always take place when lots of other things are happening. Take this time for instance, the world cup..wimbledon..good movies..birthdays..my own birthday! Everything good happens just when there are exams going on. And studying history on your birthday isn't exactly my idea of a 'happy birthday'. It's even worse to spend your birthday mugging up 4 chapters only to find your exam paper filled with questions from the 5th chapter that you left.
~ SAT
So i miss my last chance to go on a school trip ever to get pathetic results like mine. Don't want to talk about this anymore.
~ Incomprehensible langugage speaking people
So Thailand was fun all right...but there were certain things over that annoyed me to no end. The people there couldn't understand any English for one. Thanks to them, I ate earthworms or some worms thinking it was chocolate! yikes! Even the thought of it makes me want to puke now.
~ Illnesses
I should receive an award for being perpetually ill. Eye infection, ear infection, allergies, cold, cough...something or the other is always up with me! Always!
And as far as my illnesses are concerned, last month's been the worst.
If you're still reading, then that my dear friend was the month that was.
PS: A friend made me realize that I'm not under any kind of stress whatesoever.
Not even any U Stress. I guess that explains why I'm so lazy and irresponible.
Ya reading Rushi? Now you won't wanna make me undergo 'stress' in order to make me more responible, would ya :P

How much thought does a puppeteer give to how he's going to manipulate his marionettes.
Not much I'm guessing. The puppets are pretty insignificant in his life right?
Are we too mere puppets in the hands of some master puppeteer?
If we are then I'm just hoping that the master is fond of happy endings!
P.S: Happy, actually, a not so happy birthday to me!

I haven't been shopping in almost 4 months now.
I haven't seen a movie in the theatre since Brokeback Mountain which too was ages ago.
I haven't read a good book in months now.
I have only just missed the last chance to go on a school trip ever thanks to SAT in which I'm probably going to geta a negative score. I know that's not possible, but considering how much I'm studying, I might just make that happen too.
And I haven't been on a date since...oh well...I've never ever been on a date.
I feel so deprived of the good things in life!

I have the weirdest friends.
The other day we were just sitting in the library and we yet again ended up having the most bizarre conversation.
Homie 1: I can't go swimming again
Homie 2: Down?
Homie 1: Damn yeah!
Homie 3: Can't you use tampons or something, eh?
Homie 4: You need to have had done it for that. Coz the hymen needs to be broken.
Homie 1: This sucks. Can't i just use a pen? Even better,A compass
Everyone : Ouch! Shuddaap!
I've a feeling that one of the librarians heard us coz just when I was about to leave, she shot at me the most disgusted glance.
Lol...my friends are a bit weird...but that makes me love my bitches all the more.
And next time we go bowling, I'm so going to kick their pretty lil asses!
(Ha ha...who am I kidding!)

Deserving against Reserving
I know that a bit too many blog entries and articles have been dedicated to this issue.
And I know that you would want to dismiss this as another one of those worthless articles written on this matter of concern. But I'm not trying to write about how unfair
I think this whole thing is. Neither am I trying to dump my opinion upon anyone.
Its just that lately, I've talked to a lot of people who are for these reservations. And I would just like to bring their attention to certain facts.
Firstly, the reservation proposal strangely coincided with the elections in five states.
Now anyone who possesses even a minuscule bit of intelligence is going to interpret this as a political gimmick and a strategy to get votes.
But they tried to justify this act by claiming that about 70% of our population is backward and this and that.
Now I don't know how most people aren't aware of this particular fact, but according to
this article only about 36% and not 52% of the population can be defined as belonging to the Other Backward Classes. That too comes down to about 32% if we exclude the Muslim backward classes.
These stats have been picked up from the National Sample Survey's 1999-2000 round.
So this basically means that the OBC population is almost as much as the mainstream population. Then why should they get all the advantage?
This article also tells us that
'If, you use the NSS/NFHS figures, a 50 per cent reservation ceiling will cover three fourths of all OBCs, and if Muslim OBCs are to be kept out of reservations, then 86 per cent of the remaining will get covered by reservations.'So 86% of the backward population would get covered by these reservations and the hardworking mainstream students...who slog like crazy wouldn't get in, despite getting good marks.
Most of these OBCs haven't even got decent primary level education. Wouldn't it be a better idea to work on that, so that they can fairly compete against the regular students later on in their lives. This is only going to lead to a drop in the standards and creation of more inequality between the "quota" students and the rest of them.
I have nothing against giving them a chance and all that jazz. But hasn't the government already tried this once with the SCs and STs? Did it work? I think not.
The so called 'creamy layer' got all the advantage.
And now they want to repeat the same mistakes all over again.
And I agree that protesting the way they are isn't probably the most peaceful and rational way to have our opinions heard. But what's happening to those students in turn is really not justified. Last I heard, 4 people died in the lathi charge in bhubeneshwar and 1 person died in the hunger strike in Delhi.
Is this what we call 'Democracy'?
**********************************************************************************************
P.S: BLACK OUT is being observed by switching of all lights for a few minutes b/w 8:00 PM
8:20 PM on the 22nd of may. If you are against these reservations then kindly do so
and spread the word.

Never thought...
Never thought I'd become so garrulous that it would become difficult to make me stop blabbering!
And then, never thought it would be so difficult to speak when words were desperately needed to remove the air of awkwardness.
Never thought dancing on Britney Spears would cheer me up!(kill me, someone kill me!)
Never thought 2 minutes of conversation with someone I barely knew would convey so much sadness that it would make me want to cry.
Never thought I could detest hypocrites with such an intense passion and then feel like one and then hate myself for that!
Never thought I could be stupid enough to want to make the same mistakes all over again!
Never thought I'd become what I am today!
Wondering why I'm suddenly introsepcting so much?
Well it was time for the social service camp yet again.
I've been to so many NGOs..I've met so many kids, i've interacted with so many children...I've even taught so many children!
But nothing has ever been as meaningful as the 2 hours of conversation I had with the aged in the old age home today!
Really got me thinking.

Blogging can be very wearisome.
There's so much to write about but typing it down is a very tedious job.
Yes...that is going to be my excuse for not posting for so long. Not only that...I have also not been keeping very well lately. I'm down with a terrible cold and slight fever.
Now common cold i tell you can be very annoying. Thanks to it and the vigorous nose blowing, I now have a nose with peeled skin. And you know, applying chapstick on your nose feels very weird and funny. It's high time someone comes up with a cure for common cold.
Another very annoying thing about cold and fever is that you have to miss school
Initially I did feel quite elated about missing the Monday test but now sitting at home and having nothing to do is just bugging the living hell out of me.
I did try to utilize my leisure time and ended up reading a whole lot of blogs.
Its funny how almost everyone’s writing about how depressing leaving school would eb and all that.
Since ‘optimism’ happens to be my greatest asset (lol)…I decided to show you the bright side of having to leave school.
And so I give you 10 reasons why you are not going to miss school.
1. No more Monday tests
2. No more waking up at 5:30 in the morning
3. No more attending assemblies (they were seriously a pain in the ass)
4. No more uniforms with a diseased logo on them
5. No more molestation by Goswami the great (she feels you up real bad while tucking in your shirt)
6. No more paying for never even touched almanacs/prathana books/newspapers etc
7. No more sleeping on uncomfy desks.
I know you’re going to tell me that you’re probably going to miss all of this as well.
But think about it…are you actually going to miss Monday tests?
If you are, then what are you, super geek?
I am quite an optimist, aint I?
P.S I know I was supposed to give you 10 reasons…but really couldn’t think of anything else right now.
