taadddaaaaa!

hola!

GUESS WHAT?

I have messed up again. In the recent past i don't remember the last time that anyone was satisfied with my marks... "i am not working hard", supposedly. Our definitions of hard work are different, but i guess their's counts most...

I have decided to record a few of my conversations with teachers. . .
they are so pathetic that they make me laugh.

Teacher 1: (first in a long list of teachers)
"Anindita, you are not working hard. In fact, you are hardly working!"

*after a week or so*
"Anindita (WHY DID SHE LEARN MY NAME???) तू तो बहुत बात करती है!! you are the loudest in the school. . .(like that is criminal offense..) why do you take leadership in everything? Let the others do. तू स्कूल में पढने के लिए आती है! पढ़कर घर जा! (all this while i'd been asked to do whatever i was doing.) "

*in a little more time*
"just look at her! she even laughs so loudly! Hoi! anindita, why do you laugh so much. (GOD, seriously!)"
and it goes on. . .


Teacher 2:
*after i finally managed to do well in some test*
"Good! i was getting tired of looking at your face all shrivelled up..." (really? i have a shrivelled up face? . . .uh, alright!)

*in a couple of months*
"Where is your momentum? Just because you did well once doesn't mean that you have to do like this now..." (hell, i was so glad i passed :P )


Teacher 3: (this is One LONG conversation)
*with Karishma as comparison (ICSE 2008 Bangalore topper v. this poor soul)*
"Karishma, you are capable of so much! How is your IIT coaching going........ (treat the dots as a paragraph each)
Anindita, with all your extra curriculars and all that, aim for at least 75% in the boards. I am sure you can do it..."
*insulted. she lowered my aim by 20%. honestly is that the kinda vibe i emanate? 75% in boards... Seriously!?*


Teacher 4:
*on seeing a decently designed cover page*
"Really! do you think this is necessary? . . . (trails off as i blow up). . . no no, it is very very creative and nice, but must you spend your time on such things? You are in 12th grade now....."
(let's not even go into the details of that conversation...)

*in conversation with Karishma and Praveen and moi.*
"How do you all even stand her (guess WHO was being referred to...)..."
*praveen goes off into a 'Well a certain degreee of ignorance is required. One must ignore some things that she says and does. They are not always in best taste (note how this is in the bestest taste ever)..Selective hearing is a must...et al.)

*in conversation with Kz and me.*
"Why are you so interested in all these software? You ought to concentrate on your studies this year. Your whole life is left for all these things. Now it is the marks that matter. (why, Why, WHY??)"

*thank goodness for this one. . .SMSs rule :P *
"When you feel that God is rubbing you against the rocks, don't think that you will run down to dust. It is His way of polishing a gem. Stay precious (ironic, really... but still oddly comforting.)!"

Teacher 5:
*KABOOM*
*bam*
*BarooM!*
*Kapow!*
yeah, i always got blasted by this one!

so there are more to go, and someone is rather sleepy.
therefore, she shall quit re-living such moments (never too soon)

goot night!

dies unus

So today was school reopening day :) . . . not for us though :P we've been working for ever soo long :(
it was refreshing to see the ground all filled up, and see little kids roaming about in their neatly ironed uniforms.

a few observations about day one:

1. ALL the little girls get new PINK bags :) they line them up in a row and it looks adorable...

2. the new kids are inevitably cute and cuddly. and very sad. the school actually deputes teachers to ensure that all the cranky kids get some attention. really! i saw at least two teachers with every 3 foot creature :P

3. the teachers deck up like there is NO tomorrow! seriously, considering that they have been working since the 27th! no one dresses up like that to welcome the 12th grade to school. Humph!.

4. every body has a free day apart from us. our teachers announce tests and homework instead.

5. Elections are weird. At least this one was. For one, the indelible mark on our fingers was blue permanent marker that you can sort of rub off pretty easily :P Also, there is no manifesto! No campaigning AND one does not know who some of the candidates are ( o.O )... and a lot of the candidates state clearly in their only speech that they don't want to be elected to the post for which they are standing!!!!!

6. Tikoo Ma'am looks like a POLAR bear, as usual... :D :D awwwwwwww :D


If you are wondering why my post is beginning to look like a science review, it is because i am expected to write points in my english paper. No unnecessary embellishments they say...and of course, this year is expected to be entirely about academics...*snorts in derision*...therefore i am lead to conclude that the it is time i get my self off to practise "Maxima and Minima", "LPP", "Inverse Trigonometric Functions" and God alone knows what else....
adieu!
