It was a gloomy day.The weather outside was soo gloomy and so was my mood.Lying on the couch,I was trying hard to concentrate on the TV,when my sister comes down suddenly,with a stern look on her face.She yells at me, "When r u going to courier the documents????Its already half past two"...( Well her countenance irritates me )..okay!!!
I shoot back a dirty look on her and say,"Hey stop shouting...Am just going".
Reluctantly I pick the keys and stroll outside.The clouds were setting in and it was just about to rain cats and dogs.Its ok...I say to myself...I did'nt mind getting drenched,if that could help me exspunge the bitter things going in my mind!!!
I start riding the scooter,and the same bitter memories loom in my mind...( "Hey why..what went wrong??? Why me always...?? Why am I soo stupid"-I was self pitying me), I just forget that I'am on the road and the scooter had already shifted from the left side of the road to the right side.
It was only then I realise that I was in the verge of having a Head On Collision with a car.With great difficulty I get the breaks in control and get the scooter to a halt and so did the driver of the car!! (Its India and u know how people react to such nuisance). Passers by,stop to shout at me,they curse me.....I smile back at them sheepishly!!!
And once again I start the engine,reach the courier office,this time I had my complete presence of mind on the road.I courier the documents and finally reach home Body INTACT...!!!!
I curse myself for my APATHY and CLUMSINESS on the road.I would'nt have minded the collision ,If my system had to end immediately,but otherwise....."A scared face or an amputated leg or hand or broken ribs"!!!! I shuddered at the thought of it!!!!
Dear readers,"MY ADAGE HERE"- SAFETY FIRST AND THOUGHTS NEXT.....HAPPY DRIVING!!!!!

MY FIRST DAY AT COLLEGE..!!!!
Let me begin my own story here...well I graduated almost a year a ago from a university which I would never like to mention the name of...I would rather call it as "U KNOW WHICH", just like Voldemort of HarryPotter being called as "U KNOW WHO".U may wonder why do I have to refer my college in such a sinister manner???
Well I may alone know why...Almost five years ago , a little gal (i mean she was 17 already) out of skool, had to take a new start in her life and which would decide her career for the rest of her life....Well she had to join college,and then her parents who were so keen that she had to pursue her Engineering in a way to fulfill their own chilhood dreams...
Pity this gal...she's not a Miss Perfect or a Miss Studious..She just wanted to study something as weird as English (oh well that was the weirdest thing she said to her parents).Well her parents say u rather sit at home.
Poor little gal,had to go with her parents wish,as she was too timid to fight back.
And then the day comes when she had to join the "U KNOW WHICH" university...Welll atleast she suggests her parents... " Hey I dont want to take a group which has Mathematics in it."
Ofcourse her sweet parents agree to her last wish.An Engineering subject without Mathematics is really absurd.
This gal takes up FOOD TECHNOLOGY...poor thing little did she know then that her group had 4 semesters of mathematics which she had to endure..
Her first day in college-The car goes deeper and deeper into the NO HUMAN ZONE,except she can spot a few cattle grazing here and there.Then finally the university arrives,well built of rocks,thats how she thought in the first place....an half completed building on a vast area of land,surrounded by mountains(atleast they seemed to her like mountains)....with no little sign of human habitation except for a bunch of freshers like her,who were already having a nervous breakdown.
Well her father being a nature lover and also loves watching nationalgeographic and discover channel,says to his daughter- "U r going to love this place,an ideal place for education,no pollution,no traffic...and on on".
A seemingly helpful senior comes to help her to her room,very kindly she removes the burden of the luggage and shows her to the room...hey these seniors were'nt as helpful as they seemed,they were smelling fresh meat , and they were going to rag these freshers to forget their own agony of being imprisoned...(hey I donno what's vellore jail like,but this was the for me).
And they this poor little gal after settling with her new roommates,goes back to her parents to say BYE BYE.
Hey she was bold enough not shed any tears like her other counterparts when her Parents bye and leave her in this JUNGLE PRISON UNIV for her to her to live the next four years.
This gal is none other than me!!!!Hey all my felllow freinds of Avinashilingam should have felt the same...!!!!
