I am standing there looking at the half full cup of coffee in my hand. I shouldn’t finish it off soon then she’ll think I was waiting here for her. I don’t want her to think like that. At least till I tell her about my feelings, which might be today, tomorrow or never. Who knows...
He is still outside the coffee shop?? How much time will he take to finish a coffee?? Have to meet him today and talk to him. He has always been a good friend but of all the people I don’t think he has expected me to have feelings for him. Even I didn’t expect me to have them!!
Finally Sarah is heading this way! Why does she have to walk in a group?? If it wasn’t for that group I would have told her long time back. Should I text her again? But that’ll seem desperate, which I am...
If only I can manage to get out of this group and talk to him alone. Even though he said he’ll be there for some more time I doubt. He has been standing there for quite some time now.
“Sarah!! Hey! How are you doing??”
“Guess what! I am going for a party tonight!”
“Really that’s awesome! So what plans till then?”
“I have to head back to home and get ready! You know right how much time girls need to get ready.”
“Oh yes! So going back home huh??”
“Yup!!Anyways see you later! Bye..”
“Bye”
Why is he leaving?? Why can’t he stay till I am done here? Anyone might think he was waiting for Sarah. They talked for hardly a minute and now she is gone. He is also slowly walking away. Bad luck I guess!
I stood there looking at the half empty cup of coffee in my hand. It was cold. I threw it and walked away.
It has been quite some time since I had put something here. Partly because life is getting hectic and majorly because I got lazy!! But that didn’t prevent me from reading blogs. Today I read a post on posts, comments and self promotions. Suddenly it hit me! It has been almost 3 months since I did any sort of self promotion!!! Anyway the past 3 months had been really ‘eventful’!
-A visit to Jaipur for a presentation.Made a bunch of awesome friends and memories over there!
-Another trip to Ooty with my friends from college!
-College culturals in which my batch took the overall!
-I did my first extraction (pulling out tooth!!! Something which I like to make money on!)
-My handwriting which has a reputation finally showed some signs of improvement!!! It has gone from illegible to slightly legible. For this I should probably thank the teacher who assured me he would make me write in a four line notebook to ‘help’ me. And then there is another teacher who asked my sun sign. I promptly told Scorpio thinking he would give astrological explanation/solution to this phenomenon. “Oh! So that’s why you write as if a Scorpio has walked on the paper!!” was the response. I couldn’t help but laugh at his answer. That was by far the most innovative insult I got for my handwriting.
These are the major events, I think. Elaboration can be done on each as well but I am too lazy now to do that! And there are other things as well which I might post some other day!
The next major item on the list is my university exam which as of now is going to start on June 21st! The ultimate thriller! Like never before!
So hopefully I won’t be spending much time online!!! (Yeah right! As if it’s gonna happen!!!!)
Dear diary, I gotta tell you this so badly before anything else. I have always worked hard since I can remember but last one month you know, was truly hectic!! I am not complaining you see, because I know this is what to expect. Unlike Rohan who was complaining throughout the posting. He as usual got screwed every single day! There are no apparent reasons other than his utterly foolish answers he tells every time something is asked. I don’t know for sure but I have heard someone telling me that one sir got so pissed of with his answer that sir actually hit him on his back!! I always miss these golden moments!! At one point of time Rohan got so much depressed and frustrated with the constant screwing he got, he started taking it out on us. It was simply horrible!!
But the weirdest thing is that in spite of all this he gets to represent the college and go somewhere. God only knows where and all.. I didn’t bother asking also! Who wants to waste time like that?? Even though it would have been a nice experience… Initially I used to feel sympathy at the constant screwing he gets from the staff. Thought he might change and stop irritating us but that will never happen I guess.. He was very happy at the last day in that dept but then he got screwed like never before in the viva.. It seems the staff had a good time asking him questions while he just kept quite. Even the staff got mad and said that we all are dumb (how dare she calls us that?? May be because she haven’t taken my viva till then) but he is dumber than the rest!! The D-word is clinging on to him like a label!! And am loving it!! Do you remember diary, before also a professor had called him D-man!! Anyways he has to give the viva again! Ha!
(As always I again would like to say that the nerd neighbor is a work of fiction! Recently a friend of mine came to me and said it was very bad of me to write about her like this!! I was taken aback by the fact that my blog is getting more readers!! Am content! Recently my days were really bad as I screwed up so many things.. Can’t really blame the staff alone for getting screwed. Its difficult to admit but there were many mistakes from my part also which put me into unavoidable conflicts with others.. I can proudly say I am wiser than what I was a month ago. And I should thank the very staff who screwed me for that. I started reading just to avoid getting the daily routine ‘idiot’ calling! But could never avoid that as I always screw up something each time!! And then there were these people around me who had to bear all my frustration just because they happened to be my friends!!! Couldn’t help it!)
Half of January is over so its kinda late for new year events but this one is awesome. I welcomed the new year and the new decade by being online and doing absolutely nothing else! I was invited by Vijay (Mallya) for his party in Goa but I didn’t go because it seems my pet bat Roxi was not allowed inside!! They claimed it to be a party for night creatures and I cant take mine! Moronic!!

Twenty ten. I should say it was a very good year. Many good things happened to me. College life was never like before. It was the happening year! Except for a few serious blunders the minor blunders went unnoticed this year..
The decade started with me as a 5th standard or 6th standard boy dreaming to be a scientist one day.. As years went many realities hit on my head. There were many regrettable incidences, which happened due to my thought, word, action or omission. There were instances in which I should have said no, but didn’t. It had a good share of happy memories also.. Memories of school life which would be cherished forever. Coming to the end of the decade, I realized being a scientist doesn’t pay you much so I chose to be a dentist and is currently studying for that. I really hope the coming year and decade would be greater than the one that is getting over!!! Happy New year!

Final year till now has been really hectic (well not that hectic but people expect it to be hectic, so Am just telling it to be hectic!!). Daily morning classes are there and I am always the first to reach class. I enjoy these classes very much. The crisp fresh morning helps you learn really well.
But Rohan always comes late and nicely sleep in the class. I don’t why the staffs haven’t caught him till now. First of all I don’t how he came to final year. I was sitting near him in the exams and I don’t think there was even one answer he wrote on his own. (The Exams) Anyways the class starts at 8 am and goes till 11 on most of the days. 3 lectures a day. The best part about being in final year is that the teachers who come to take class explain everything with the great detail with the clinical aspect. They are so much concerned about us understanding the topic they go to any extend to make us learn. I don’t understand how Rohan can sleep in such classes. He really doesn’t know what he is missing out.
Among his irritating habits the latest is his coffee drinking. After every class he runs out and after 5 minutes comes back with a cup of coffee and fills the A/C lecture hall with its aroma... It’s truly disgusting. I don’t like that smell of coffee..
And worst of all he is in my posting batch also. This means we are in the same batch for clinical postings throughout the year.. Things can’t be any worst. Only two postings have been over till but I feel like its been more than a year.. Its true that time goes really slow when you are with whom you really want to avoid!! But then again I cant do anything about it so I always pretend he is invisible and cant hear him.. Especially when he is cracking his really stupid PJs..
But once I was happy when he told a joke. Not that the joke was good; they are always bad jokes.. But right after he told it a professor saw him talking and caught him for that. He was made to repeat the work he was doing and was asked to show him only all his work from that day on. This professor is somewhat a perfectionist and Rohan is the last person to make something perfect. That was one of my happiest day in that department. Now he is going to lag in his work. But surprisingly his work starts improving. The worst part is now he just goes to that professor and tells him bluntly that he didn’t understand if something is not clear.. Totally rude!!
But the best part was on the last day or I thought so.. There is something called an appliance where you have to make an initial skeleton kind of thing with steel wire and then acrylize it. So we have to sign for the wire bending and then for the final appliance. He didn’t know it and I was least bothered to tell him also. He was showing one of these appliances to this sir and he asked if he had taken sign for the wire bending. Rohan obviously had no idea about this and said no and even went on to say that he doesn’t think others also know. Sir got angry and asked everyone. Apparently Rohan was the only one who didn’t know about this. Instead of getting angry as I hoped sir got amused and called him the D-man!! And asked what does D stand for. He promptly replied donkey.
“That you already are. Tell me or else Am not gonna leave you!”
“Dumb??”
“Yes! You are the Dumb-man!!”
Never before I was so happy.. Sir asked him to get his record book and I was sure sir will be canceling most of his works which means he has to do them again.. I expected him to be sad and depressed. But it seems sir remembered him showing the wire bending and so he cancelled only one sign.. Just one work!!!
I thought life was good again.. God knows how I’ll manage rest of the year with him!!!
(As I have mentioned before the Nerd neighbor is a work of fiction. But most of the other stuff is true. Sleeping in the class, frequent coffees to keep myself awake.. Getting caught for laughing and talking.. I have done blunders before also (like most of my vivas and answer sheets!!) but getting a name doing one is pretty much new to me!! Hope this is the last time am getting one! And now the staff expects us to read textbooks and write assignments. It gets hectic when we pile up everything for the last moment which I always do. Hope the year goes fine…)
