sO far...

TEN DAYS of the THIRD and the last month of my summer have passed by... and i dont feel any change in me... ha!!

my result came... yeahieeeeeeeeee, i'm a senior NOW! I'M IN FREAKING CLASS 11!!! feels like a dream come true... on the whole i scored 89%... scoring highest in social, that was 96 (well, all my time -table and the organising that i had done for social had to pay!! social ONLY OF CLASS 10 was my favourite and i had prepared damn well for it... even though i expected a 100... 96 aint bad at all... *ka-ching*) then scoring 94 in mathematics, so NOT SATISFYING!! hahaha! they are good marks, no doubt BUT NO GOOD for the one who did her paper for scoring anything above 95, easily!! i was shocked but then, it was the first time ever that i had scored in 90's, so the happiness outweighted my mother's frown... ta-da... everyone asked me ''so, your mum happy?"... she wasnt satisfied... well, she was the only one familiar with my hardwork... she always told me that all she wanted was that my hardwork should pay, i guess that much of hardwork wasnt enough! anyway, she got over it.. the scene at home was horrifying when i'd check my result... nothing happened according the way i wanted. hahahahahaha!

moving on, yesterday daddy and me had gone to the school, checked out the list... and the excitement was sooooooooo much... even though i knew i would get my subject, but everything had its own charm... the happiness was out of the world... the feeling only comes once in lifetime, i'm veryyyyyyyyyy excited to go school on the 1st July, see my new classmates... part of life, shuffling will happen due to the choice of subjects... i'm not sure who all are going to be my new class mates except for Harshita, Vikalpa and Aakii, but i'm sure my friends which i made over two years, in class 9 and 10, are all taking science... :( :( I'll miss Hany, Tapesh, Jhil-Mil, Joshi, Vikram, Yaman... the Prashants who we used to mock soooooooo much!!! I have to work hard in class 11, i have to get a batch NMW!!!!!!!!!! yeahhh!!

And then guess what, ORANGE IS MY NEW FAV. COLOUR!! hahahahaha! The T20 world cup has started and this new team of Netherlands have orange uniform... so hawwwtttt!! hahahaha!

mY yam-dee (sakshi's bestie :D ) graduated from NIFT and now she's officially a FASHION DESIGNER<>

sholay came back a long time back, we hang out these days in the evenings having funnnnn!!! she's a sweetheart!! <3

and...3 days after my result came out, my tutions started!!! baaahhh... tutions for mathematics... it is in amar colony, the same place from where sakshi used to take tutions, hahaha, 7YEARS BACKK!!!!!!! so far, so good. nothing that difficult...

today, the 9th, i HAVE 3 classes back to back in the evening... yeah this sucks... 1st mathematics 530-630, then accounts 630-730 and finally GUITAR!! :D:D:D 730-830...hahahaha!! now that sounds like *summer*... something is happening and it better do!!! :P :P

ALERT!!! * Class X Exam Results 2009 - To Be Announced on 29th May 2009 *

i had a good day... owkiesh, short aerobics class... i even woke up groggy and was thankful that today the class was short...

saloni and me had fun, laughing and talking... the rest of the day i'd spend in doing a lilttle bit of house chore, ironing clothes, else i actually slept the whole day...

short-short naps in between.. and that is how i'd spend my afternoon. in the evening as i was getting ready to go out, saloni was on her way to come at my place, for the zillionth time in the day sakshi checked the CBSE website and it read ' Class X Exam Results 2009 - To Be Announced on 29^th May 2009  

i called up saloni to tell the news... i tried calling my other gang of girls but niether of them picked up the phone, darn... and after that, i slipped... i mean i didnt slip onto the floor or something, i'd slip with my feelings! i became nervous... excited... scared... right now i'm on the verges of panicking... I HAVE BECOME A NERVOUS WRECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!freak man... i cant handle the anxiety anymore... yes, at one point i think that result should be out, already and on the other hand at the thought ''what'' will be the result, i really dont want to see it... i'm happy like this...

but this result is the ultimatum.. everything will be over after this.. i will truly be in 11th. freak, 11th means like less than 2 years left for SCHOOL!! i will start crying now only. i know i'm thinking in tooo much ahead in future however if time will fly like this, i can see my self panicking for my 12th result already! and it sucks! . ...maaa!!! help me!!! :(

i really cant believe that 10 will be over soon.. i mean always wanted it to be over soon.. but i will miss it... yeah, i'm one jumbled up piece!!!!

my parents have gone to the hospital. a co-worker of daddy, whose been working with him for more than 25years is hospitalised and he is in a veryy veryy crtical condition. i'm scared for him too.. he's family, you see... he's a veryy great man... god bless him... 

and then the weather's becoming good outside, windy and probably it will rain. now this is a good premonition for it also rained both the times on sakshi's 10th as well as 12th result. it wasnt raining, it was a STORM!! both the times, i'm talking about,.. freak.

and then at the camp my fav, favvv and my luck charm bracelet broke!! at the last day of camp which is nott a good omen! i mean i dont know.. on a brighter side i think to have lost a great thing porbably may return in the form of GOOD RESULT!! you never know!

i have decided the scene at my home, first i will check the result myself, alone and once i'm satisfied (nmw the result is,i  have to be),  i will let mum, dad, sisi and everyone else to see... past week there have been so many calls, ''arey!! how was her result... ohh not out, yet! , so when is it then... ohh...ohh''... they are asking for my result as though its on their behalf i have given boards and if god forbid i dont get good one, they are gonna eat me up... *no hard feelings*

for i'm missing my dadu(grandpa) now... just as i prayed and wanted him to sit beside me whenever i gave the board paper, i want him to be there with me for the ultimate show as well... i know he will be there... he is one luck charm that no one can take away from me!

sakshi my dear sisi wrote a blog post dedicated to our beloved (late) cousin Mansi dee, which made me weep... 

sakshi and dee were like twins...always together, same school, same class... and i was excluded from all the sisterly fun...so ofcourse, sisi had soo much to weep on and here i cant think of anything that included dee and me... however, she's the best sis i have ever had, even better than sakshi... i remember only this much that she wanted to be a doctor and i would always say that i would be your nurse... and she had, like, trillion of stuff toys that i'd adore a lot.. she even wrote diaries, my another source of inspiration to write, she taught me how to use the computer, with her i'd spent less, but, very precious years of life... she's always been happy go lucky person and that's how i remember her...dee had dark complexion, so her face with big colgate smile... beautiful long hair... what not...

since the day she's gone,she's left the family, i somehow started hating her... because she left me alone...i loved her soo bad... and i was suppose to be her nurse and she a doctor... because of her i was inspired to be a doctor... i even started liking silvy, her cat... i didnt like that she became mean for a moment and ended everything she had not realising that it made an immortal hole in our family which can never be filled, no matter what!!! (yeah, i'm being selfish here)

i was even jealous of sakshi for she got to be with dee more than i did... i so enjoyed being at her place, playing with her, especially tickling her... but i remember, that i really loved her,  we had fun at her place... i'm sorry, i dont miss you that much, anymore, probably because there's not much of what i can think and miss that...i have very very veryyy vague memory of dee and me together... yes, these 5 years did pass in a blink of an eye... 

miss you.

Day IV

so i woke up to find that the weather had settled down, it was cold though...

in the choti hazari that morning we were asked to wear shoes and were taken to a field about 700-800 metres away... trekking between the wilderness... there we played again games based on co-ordination and team work... since,the next day we were to leave for hiking-trekking we were taught how to pitch a tent...it was 'A' type of tent, its various parts- pegs, ridge pole, etc

that day was the last day of rafting... we all excited... today our rafting stretch was of 10km... our cattle trucks took us took a farther point. that only, a new instructor was assigned to only our group.. he was an american, born and brought up in California, name- Louise. he told us about, his dream to visit Chile and now he planned to go back home for sometime... he even gave a brief about his travelling experience... on that day's rafting expedition we went on grade3 rapids, which were fun... 

on our way back from Aquaterra rafting camp side, the truck in which the killer rafter group was going had tire-punctured... hahaha... so in the mini cow truck in which we todoos were going, the other 18 were stuffed...it was exhausting... the way wasnt that smooth, so many of us ended up having tiny injuries...

that afternoon we didnt go anywhere for any sort of minor activity, i took a head wash. there was apipe near the loo and bathing tents from which water flowed 24*7, so thanks to that we all would take a head wash... the whole place would turn into a fish market.. some shouting '' can you please help, me?", some ''oye, pass me the shampoo!!''

after having squash and lunch we went to the beach... it's like a pilgrimage for us... we laughed and talked and clicked pictures... after spending like 2hrs... everyone was asked to gather in the common place.

there on the notice board, a map was made which was actually a brief about the trekking we were going to embark in the next three days. the whole journey was of 24km. 1st day we had to trek UP HILL 4 km, 2nd day 8km to our main destination, final destination, lol, Rangali Top 7,5oo metres above sea level. on the 3rd day, simply trek DOWN HILL 12 km... 

following that we were given a list of food items and the maximum number we were allowed to carry... the camp was alloting us with a rucksack, a raincoat, sleeping bag, a bowl and a spoon... the instructors were going for the heck of it... we only had to carry the utensils, our clothes, the food as well as the tent... so we had to think judicially of how many tents we require and ofcourse how much food... there was a big, big, bigg debate over food...finally, we were carrying biscuits, cheese spread, bread, sausages aka halaal, matar paneer -ready to make packets, tomato puree, onions, britannia chocolate cakes,rice, pulses, utensils, stoves, garbage bag and much-much more... 

that evening the solo time didnt feel like one... for we had spent most of the day there only, so no body wanted to sit by themselves... everyone talking and laughing... kuber sir scolded me and literally ordered me to go and sit somewhere faarrrrrrrrr... so i went and sat next to water on the rock... i had my head in my lap... it was soo soothing, peaceful that i even fell asleep for 5-6 minutes... that eve i realised it was the 15th, my Dadu's birthday (Grandfather's), i'd miss him... but didnt get too carried away, i had no intentions on getting too emotional.

that night we again had another session of lame horror story... 

later on, one guy, who seemed like an instructor to us came upto us and sat... it was harshita, anupam, mayank and me at that time! he was barefoot had a maala in his neck... he had that complete priest look... on asking him he in his low peaceful voice, was like, '' i'm a wanderer... i was just passing by the place and they (the campus people) offered me shelter , food and water... so i'm here tonight...'' i dunno about others but he freaked me out... then he told us that he even read faces... when i asked him to read mine...

priest: with whom do you stay the most, your mother or father?

me:equally both

priest: umm... you're... you're slow in your actions... you do your work very steadily however your mind's very fast... you're actions are like your mother however your thinking is just like your father's....

me: *i had the shocking look on my face... you know where your mouth's open and you're surprised...* okay

I seriously couldn't believe him... his each word was true... seriously... oohh god... later on we came to know that he was one of the instructors there however he reads people faces and palms...

that night at born fire, this guy Bharat, he played the guitar and sang beautiful songs... that made my sleep good as i drowned into the peaceful night...

******

today, woke up at 6.30 with saloni's call and ta-da did go for aerobics... yeah, it's owkay, nothing of that great sort... just going for i would have an early starting to my day by working out a lil and not by lazying around... plus, i wanna lose my belly fat, hehe! :P

following that, i started with my second month of belly dance class... and as i have always said, i never seem to get enough of it, it always makes me impatient to learn more... the only thing that makes me feel, ''yeah, i'm following my dream'', which is completely outrageous! :))

the whole day i'd lazy around.. at night, i had pizza.. was on date with da'ads, my grandmaa... i sat with her, we had pizza and coke and i told her about the camp... yeah fun... actually sis and maa had gone for a wedding reception and someone had to be with da'ads so i stayed back... 

after midnight, dad came back home... i was soo relieved to see him, somehow... i love my daddy... lol... so we all sat together, i was veryy sleepy, so i heard all the story of dad's journey with my eyes closed and already half asleep... but i know most of it... he had a great time... bua was very very veryyy surprised to seem him, ta-da mission accomplished... and what else do you need...

Ps. just a random question, how will you know that the other person is falling for you? (dont be surprised by my question, please...) ;)

April gone, May begins...

A month has passed since i gave my boards... feels good yet unbelievable. I still sit in my drawing room and think about those days when everyone else was doing something they liked and i would be sitting on that particular couch with a table and studying, speacially, mugging up social. I would normally sit in there only for preparing for Social... i really don't know how i feel when i try to picture myself, when i would try recalling my class 10 days, but it really fascinated me that how time just passes...

how the 'expected' never happens. I had this huge list of things that i wanted to do but something or the other came up, and nothing happened eventually. nothing of the 'expected' happened. I have made this mistake a lot of times... but as they say 'old habits, die hard'. Such as, i had planned to go to Bombay as soon as my boards get over, to my brothers, meet my nephew n all, but the youreka camp came in between. It is pretty expensive, i had to chose amongst the two. Ka-ching, I'm going for this, water-rafting, trekking camp on the 12th (i'mm soooooooooooooo exciteddd :D:D:D) in Tons, that is, 180 km beyond Dehradun, in Uttranchal. 

Last week on Sunday, harshita n me at somya's place, had amazing night stay. Actually we two had gone to collect ruck-sack from somya, for the camp. Only Harshita n Me are going fro the camp... :) It was an amazing night stay. Finally, it felt nice to be back being so good friends with harshi and samster... we had funn. didnt sleep. got chased by DOGS at 4:30 in the morning, saving our lives... lol

The rest of the week was pretty good...i read ''the queen of babble'' by Meg Cabot. Cheered for my angels, the devils, The Delhi Daredevils, baby... i'm sure there're going to win this year...

I said goodbye to Sherlyn, she's gone to Kolkata to her Aunt's place, all by herself..and then she'll go to Ranchi. Finally she's out of her home, this place, I'm freaking happy for her and that is why i gifted her a diary for her holidays!! :D and she loved it!!

She'll be back in June,i think...

And, umm... 

now today the May started, i went for walk in the morning with my parents (trust me, it can embarrassing), and then for yoga at Maa's school... SO i was pretty worked up in the morning only... and i look forward for the same morning schedule until the 12th arrives... ka-ching, m soo excited for the camp!! :D

Bye-Bye Bua, Belly Dance... n Much More...

When she used to live is States, her every visit to India used to be special. Everyone excited at home, so many preparations and especially when me and cousins being kids used to be excited about the presents she would get for us! 5 years back, Bua was transferred to Bangalore, India.  Thanks to her I got to sit on an aeroplane for the first time and that was Me and my Grandma who went to Bangalore in 2004. Their Bangalore house was a palace, huge so many rooms and their roof was the best... I remember everything from my trip...I still miss the friends I'd made there and Bua's neighbour who was in her 70s however befriended me and we did swimming together... After two years, Bua shifted to Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Thanks to her I got the confidence to travel alone. The Chennai House was beautiful too, again another palace... After almost spending 2 years in Chennai Bua came to Gurgaon that is like NCR, that is like being next door, neighbour!!! Furthermore it became a daily affair to meet bua, as though she had been living with us forever. Nightstays at Bua's place were a luxury, comfortable and the most outrageous experiences. Even though we would do nothing, just relax but the atmosphere around and especially living in one of the most beautiful houses on this earth, what better you want...I would miss playing carom or cards or crossword with bua, watching pictures, and working on her Imac... well I sound selfish but the kind of experiences I'd have with bua, hanging out with her were really fun...and I'll miss that... Last night Bua and Uncle left for Boston. I cried, I felt bad... I was wishing that somehow we could spend more  family time :)

It was a surprise and seemed completely impossible that Bua would one day actually be next door...!! awesome fun.. Bua I'll miss you, hope you have great time in US, and hope I'll come to visit you soon!! :D

Today was my first belly dance class , at the Banjara School of Belly Dance. I went half hearted for the class because I feared that it might turn out to be lame like all the earlier classes I had gone to at various other dance institutions!! However I came very happy, excited and with more desperation to learn Belly Dancing... my instructor's name's Meher. She showed us few moves which were so fantastic which assured me that Yes! she is professional... There were like 15 students, rather I should call ladies, because I was the youngest amongst them. The one elder to me was in 1st year college. Meher told me that I'm picking up pretty fast, that made me more confident about what I was doing... Plus we even started with the choreography. The performance is in September and the theme is ''Belly-wood'' that is belly dancing with the touch of bollywood. So our batch is learning the moves on Kajrare. Exciting!! And now it makes me impatient for the nest class!!  Yeahpie!!!!

~~~

In the evening today, we're going to the 50th birthday party of one the friends of my parents...Hopefully I'm gonna wear a dress!

~~~

I haven't found a Guitar instructor as yet. This does not make me feel terrible or sad but disappointed that it extends the number of days I'll be practicing on my own without any supervision telling me whether I'm doing it correctly or not! It's OK, though!

~~~

Indian Premier League is starting today... but no match of Delhi Dare-devil, so I don't think I'll be watching it!! :)

~~~

and that's it... I don't think there's much to do except clean many of my shelves... that's a headache... I started with a new book that My sister issued from the library ''Stick or Twist'' by Eleanor Moran. Moreover, I simply skipped the first three parts of Twilight and simply read the 4th part for I knew the most of the story... from my personal experience don't read it, it sucks, however it is better than a sleeping tablet :P and that's it! Tomorrow's Sunday and hope it is as great as the last one!! :)
