TO ZINDA HO TUM

                                            ....Knock knock....
                                               Who's there
                                             ... Endterms....
                                               ~The END~

All the jokes end, when it arrives. Before we could even memorize our class schedules, endterms are already knocking to wake us up. At the wake of this alarm, I started rearranging and comprehending the fundamentals of this mysterious Life ( With that I mean stuffs of my untidy room). Perfect time to take a bath, clip nails, rearrange everything in room, becoming an epitome of cleanliness and neatness. I was going through the same phase while listening to my Rock On playlist when I discovered things that I have lost in the last few days :

Mere room ke lock ki key
Bottle mein bachi half whiskey

Meri Milds ka ek Packet
1st sem se latka baddy Racket

balcony se cloth stand
My 6 subject notebook that remained blank

Pichle saat dinon mein maine khoya
Kabhi khud pe hansa main, aur, kabhi khud pe roya!!

NA NA Nanana na na na...

Then suddenly I encountered the Course curriculum , and I was like :-

Kaise, Bhoolun, Exam Ka Jo Din Aaya
Kisi Ne, Mujhko, Syllabus Dikhaya
Kaisa, Pal Tha, Jab Module Pehli Baar Dekha Tha

Hum Jo Padhe, Pehli Baar
Maine Jaanaa Kya Hai IPR

Handouts Bhi Khoya, notes  Bhi Khoya

Kabhi Khud Se Padha Main,
Aur
Kabhi Group Mein Roya..


 NA Na NaNaNa...Na Na Na...

We need a 'MAGIK' Wand



                     For others like me, here are  a few words of wisdom

"Attendance apni above 70 lekar chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum
Internals 30 bana kar chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum

Class ke un doosre bacchon jaise notes likhna seekho
samjh mein aye na aye,class mein sir hilana seekho

har ek teacher se milo tum
nikale apni jeebh 
notes wale doston se
ho jao aur bhi kareeb

agar abhi Repeat se dar rahe ho
                                                To Zinda ho tum"

Ever wondered if we dont start even now, what will happen ??

Socha nahi to Socho Abhi !!!

Once Upon A Time in NLU - Dobaara

Number of days left for endterms is inversely proportional to the number of movies we watch in those last moments. Same is happening with me as I am trying to escape the horror by Bollywood marathon.This habbit of mine has adversely affected my thinking process and day to day interaction with people.

The other day a junior met me in the library just an hour before his IOS test. I dont know why but believe it or not, he asked ME some tips regarding the subject. All I could offer him was this :

"Sattar Minute.Sattar min hai tumhare pas. Ab tum Azadi bachao ya Shodhra Devi, ye sattar minute tumhe kabhi yaad NAHI rahege. To kaise padhna hai yeh mein tumhe nahi bataunga. Bas jao aur jee bhar ke "Bak pelo." Kyuki iske baad aane wale endterm mein chahe kuch sahi ho ya na ho, repeat aye ya pass ho, lekin yeh sattar minute, tumse koi nahi cheen sakta, Kyunki agar ye sattar min, is batch ka har student apne zindagi ki sabse badiya Bak Pel gaya, to yeh sattar min. AKS bhi tumse vapas nahi mang sakta."

Sattar minute
Before I could even finish my monologue, I saw his head buried in his copy of  Bennion.

This semester has been quite relaxed so far. Almost all "continuous harrassments" and Projects got over, and all I know is that this Sem's Business Honors classes have been a  bigger scam than Satyam or Enron. Moreover, Laziness in other subjects has taken me to a different level of relaxation. We dont even need to leave the bed before 10 now, and even after that, I lie in my bed calculating my attendance in head and saying :

" Main aur meri charpai, aksar yeh baatein karte hain..ki agar classes na hoti to aisa hota, classes na hoti to waisa hota, main kabhi is karvat sota, kabhi us karvat, to kabhi yun hi cooler ke neehe pada rehta. Na main 60% attendance pe hairan hota, na Mononita mujhe class mein sota dekh pareshan hoti. Bas tum hoti aur main hota, aur hamare sapno ka jahan hota..main aur meri charpai."

The movie that affected me the most was, Raanjhna.The climax scene perfectly depicts my condition.

 " Bas Itni Hi Kahaani hai Meri, Ek Kitab hai hai Jo Bagal Mein Padi hai..

 Kuch Teachers Jo Abhi Bhi Iss Umeed Me hain Ki Shayad Yeh Nadaan ab se Pad le..
Kuch  Dost hain  Jo Bakchod hain.
Meri Maa hai, Baap hai, NLU Ke Corridors hain Aur Yeh Ek Hamaara Laptop hai Jo Humse alag nahi hota
Yeh Mera android phone jismein  Ab Bhi battery baki hai.
Aur ek VC Hai, Jisne sabki phaad rakhi Hai.

Hum Uth Sakte The Par Kiske Liye..Hum Padh Sakte The Par Kiske Liye..
Meri CGPA, Internships, scope of placement Sab Mujhse Chooth Raha Tha...

 Mere teachers ya toh mujhe pass kara sakte hain ya fir repeat de sakte hain.

Par Saala ab uthe kaun !
 Kaun phir se mehnat kare notes jugaadne ko, class jaane ko.

Abe koi toh aawaz de ke proxy laga do !!

 Yeh Jo professor Suit - Tie Pehen ke khada hai podium ke paas ,
Aaj bhi deemed attendance de de toh Mahadev ki kasam class jana chodd dein.
Par nahi bhi de to ab saala mood nahi.

Candy crush khelne mein hi sukh hai, Breaking bad dekhne mein hi maza hai, so jaane me hi bhalai hai.

Par uthenge kisi roz ussi classroom ke kinare, Farre banane ko. Unhi Acad block ke toilets mein notes chipane ko.

Kisi Parveen ke paper mein fir se pass ho jaane ko !! "


Hope you have realized the seriousness of my condition. Let me pray to Rajnikant that I get well Soon.

Looks like this semester will end with a Dhoom.

BLOGGING BAD

After my Facebook Phase is over, I decided to pour my expressions in Blogs. Hope you appreciate the endeavour.
  - NGS

I want to start this awesomeness by talking about the end of another awesomeness. The best thing that ever happened to world television, came to an end on September 29 and I am still trying to overcome the withdrawal symptoms.It was the only thing that made me look forward to Monday mornings and not hate it. For many others like me, this week was dedicated to reading, watching, re watching and talking about how GOOD was BREAKING BAD. In my personal opinion, and I bet most of you will agree,that there has never been,nor will ever be a show as enthralling, intelligent, brilliant and so fine in details as this masterpiece of Vince Gilligan.

THE BEGINNING OF AN ENDING
The transformation of a humble, over qualified High School chemistry teacher suffering from lung cancer, into the arrogant, invincible and "dangerous" Heisenberg is a delight to watch. The beauty of this contrast is that Mr. White never lets you Sympathize with him, and even his bald look due to chemotherapy turns into cool Bad Ass look.
THE TRANFORMATION
The genius of Walter White who tries to strike a balance between his family and his "special love" for "baby blue" is so beautifully portrayed that we end up admiring and justifying even the unjustified bad acts of our dark hero. He oversmarts not only the maniac Tuco, The deadly Twins, The most influential Gus Fring and Tod's Uncle and his Gang but becomes THE ONE WHO KNOCKS. Despite all the adversarial conditions, his undying spirit and never say die  attitude is what makes him The Heisenberg, who can solve any problem and go to any extent to take back what is rightfully his. He builds up an empire big enough to be enlisted in NASDAQ on his own.

I AM THE DANGER
 The most challenging task of a series of this repute is how you end it without disappointing the millions of fans. Here too Vince Gilligan does an outstanding job for such a beautiful climax tying up all the loose ends unlike other shows that  end on an abrupt anticlimax(Lost or Dexter). The last episode 'FELINA' speaks volume of all the brilliance this series was made up of. Undoubtedly the best way to end the series. The show started gracefully and ended respectfully in time. We miss the Heisenberg's genius, Jesse's emotional outburst  every time he says "BITCH" ( which fetched Aaron Paul lead role in Need for Speed - The movie), we miss Saul Goodman's wit and Hank's pathetic sense of humor, We loved to hate Skyler and watch Walt Jr. finish his breakfast. But as the last season's promo said "All Bad things must come to an end" and we must keep our mouth shut because it got over when Heisenberg said "ITS OVER".

GOOD BYE BREAKING BAD
                                                                  
For others like me,coping with the withdrawal, youtube has umpteen number of channels celebrating the best moments and awesome soundtracks used in the series. It is also flooded with  plethora of parodies and spoof, few of which are really nice and worth a watch. The best among them  is "Joking Bad" by Jimmy Fallon. Do watch it.

You will Laugh your Ass off

There is nothing wrong if you have the feeling of hollowness inside you and sense of purposelessness in life with sudden existential crisis after you finish all the seasons.You might end up tearing up your syllabus and say "Fuck this shit, I am cooking meth" and seriously start considering it as a career option especially when you see companies like HDFC Insurance are coming to campus and offering peanuts and when your friends are getting placed at Trilegal while you are forced to do an unpaid internship at Trust Legal. Atleast at the time of your farewell you can refer to all the Randapas inside NLU and say " I did it for myself, I was good at it. It made me feel alive" with theme song playing in the background "Guess I got what I deserved."
