Kaanta!

Yes, right its kaanta (thorn, for the unitiated). Before proceeding further, let me present it to you.

This bloody thing resided in my right slipper for about an year and a half. But as many people know that i do not like “jhanjhat wale kaam”, i never tried to take it out because it only registered its presence when i stepped on a stone at a particular angle. Actually the fact that i could only “feel” it and never see it even on checking my slipper through every angle god has ever made, added to this decision. But by god every time i did “feel” it, someone screamed at the top of her voice …inside my head, “Kaanta Lagaaaaaaa !!” and i used to get super angry like the ghayal dude here.

Well, it got into my foot again about 4 days back. And this time somehow i felt that this relationship should be ended. Since i’m not deft at such things, i asked batra to help me out and he obliged. So he and I set on the task with all our might.

Now since a tweezer is not an easy find in OBH, we decided to go after it with a safety pin and a nail cutter. After about 15 minutes of meticulous abrading, scraping and groping on the slipper for the thorn, we finally caught glimpse of it and then as i help the slipper tight, batra managed to get the thorn out with the nail cutter.

This pic will help you in face of a similar situtaion.

Although, i felt jubilant for a while, i felt kinda sad at the prospect of not having to watch out for that angle. Like, some weird kind of bondage will not be there anymore.

PS: Used macro mode for the first time for the thorn.

PS1: One more exam to finish off the eighth semester.

PS2: Is there anyway to not moderate the comments ?

Turning Point !

There had been so many events in the past two years that i wanted to blog about, but just didn’t because i did not feel like getting a blog after a previous blosxom attempt on students which btw was done as a part of learning perl !

But today is the moment i cannot resist sharing my happiness with you people. I don’t care if you know me or not, just be happy for me . So cutting short,

” After 21 and a half years of my life, finally, I can whistle !! “

Wanna hear a sample? come to my room! OBH-145.

This is really a big relief. All these years of not whisting.. man! Ever since i first watched “Dil To Pagal Hai” , i just wanted to whistle that famous SRK whistle. Re-watching it was like, “what the hell is wrong with me?” Just a day before yesterday, we’re having dinner in mess and Dinkar whistles it and my inside went berserk. I thought, “man! i’m going to kill myself if i don’t learn it soon”.

This happened in my school once ,

Two Beautiful Girls: Bharat, you don’t whistle at girls..

ME: yeah.. i’m a good guy .. Its cheap to do that..

ME (now): How about this.. –whistle– haan? haan? …

How it happened

In my room, thinking about it. Found this. Trying it, tiring my tongue. Then all of a sudden, I heard it ! And i recalled that scene from Amadeus, where Salieri says “Gracias Signore” ..

PS: Well, making this blog will also allow me comment with a url and not getting moderated..

PPS: Now that i have made it, i’ll probably blurt out all those things which i earlier didn’t .. So keep checking..

Adios..
