I like what I'm upto these days. It's the entire, keep yourself occupied deal and man do I have a schedule. Though I'm doing this to keep my mind off its sickening, maddening 'phases', I can't deny that getting my head and life back on track is taking some real effort.
It's fun getting up at a fixed time, and doing things at the right time, etc. The work thingy rocks. Got a lotta you saying you wish you got jobs too, and thank you all for the congratulations you've given me for this one. Education Times is good. The editor is Nipa Vaidya- and if there's one word for her, it's 'cool'. I would usually refrain from using that word, but when you meet her, that's the only thing that comes to mind. The others in the dept. are Ruchi, Pooja and Shubha- who works on the portal. They're very patient with me. I need to pull up on the speed, because if I were them, I'd fire that retard Radhika.
I sit on a swivel chair with the right arm broken. I happened to get it on the first day because it was the closest to my desk (and I have my own computer here it's what I'm typing this from) and it stuck. I'm getting used to it. To my left, sits Faye. On the first two days she looked really upset about something, but on the third she smiled, and now we have a 'hi' routine. Faye by the way, sings brilliantly. Considering that this place has learnt to survive without music, and she's got a beautiful, beautiful voice, I look forward to her singing.
Behind me, there's Faye's friend Elton. I haven't been introduced to him, but you pick up names as they call each other. Faye and Elton are very, very quiet. This place is very quiet. Today I've risked in a 7up. I hope I laugh and add some noise here.
The telephone ringing problem still persists. But Nipa said that most of the calls they get are bogus, so it's best to not answer. However, these people answer their cellphones very soon. So that'd mean that the boring, ancient tring tring keeps ringing, while the good ringtones shut off.
Apart from that, there isn't much to describe. The canteen is quite something, though. I bought 10 coupons for a total of 5 bucks, and by the end of two whole meals consisting of rice, 2 chapaatis, dal, 2 bhaajis, egg curry, papad, banana, chhaas and a sweet dish, I still had one rupee worth of unused coupons on me. You do the math.
But this is a different summer, you see. I'm away from home most of the time, and I miss my lot. For a change, I also miss my college lot. A lot. In fact, I may guiltily add that I miss my college friends enough to make my stomach ache. I, for the first time, am wishing my vacations away (what is wrong with you, I hear 18 years of Radhika ask me). But I'll get over it soon.
I'm writing here after what seems an eternity, so pardon the sudden formal format.
I'd like to believe that I'll be back to who I was, or I'll become something better. But right now, I'm not so happy being me. Thankfully, Shriya, Trupti, Rishanka, Kapish and Sahil stick around. It feels great to have them. Manasi's been busy for the past few months, but once she's free I've got a lot of catching up to do.
My story's in print today, and I'm happy :)
Cheers.

Tagged!
Once you get tagged simply copy and paste into your own note and replace my answers with your own. Once you have completed your own list please send back by tagging me and however many of your friends. Just do it!!
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
No! My mum wanted to name me Meera, but dad didn't really pay heed. I could have been Ragini too- but Radhika it is. And my aunt named me Nandita. I never have any idea what she's thinking anyway.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
Like, big time? That'd be 3 weeks back.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Well yeah! There's hardly anything about me that I don't like- well, nothing that can't be taken care of at least.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
I feast on Bimbos- and never, never go Hungry!
But yeah, due to excess of weight gain thanks to consumption of Mascara, I'm going Veggie.
5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Well, yes. My dog-ess (I'd never call such a gentle thing a bitch, a word used for the likes of Shambhvi Sharma and Kirsten Dunst and Anusha Dandekar) Lisa, my cousins Ketki and Isha- and anybody who's in for getting pampered filthy!!
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?

19. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?

Whose line is it anyway?
I thought I should pen down some of my favorite dialogues I heard people around me saying. I think they beat any big-shot novelist!
I've also tried to remember who said what, and in what situation. Some come just out of context, but I have a feeling they're worth it.
(More of an exchange, this one)

Give it time- Manasi to me, when I was in a heartache-cum-euphoria stage.
Arre intensity chaahiye yaar!- Aakash to a wild and frustrated Ankit, during our EC skit. It didn't make him one bit of difference that 6 other people were on the verge of breaking his empty skull.
Isn't it time you gave some respect to your feelings?- Pankti, when I refused to confess my affection to Perennial Smarty.
It's not you, it's me- Everyone I know, to everyone I know.
Being happy, by the way, is very different from being content. You, are content.- Perennial Smarty, on someday where I was all calm and smiling.
Tu hi meri sukh-dukh ki sathni hai.- Shriya to Manasi, when I said Collin's gonna be my carrom partner.
Gaandu saala- Johanna to Horzy, in an orkut conversation.
(More of an exchange, this one)
"Happy birthday"
"It's okay"- Myron's birthday, and his reply to Sonika.
The world is a big place. You will meet a lot of people. You will meet your soul-mate. You are not alone. Lekin pyaar mein mat padna, log deewaane ho jaate hai. Deewaane hue paagal. Salman Khan?- Mr. CP Sharma, our economics professor, during a lecture when we were talking about demand graphs. This was the maximum sense he ever made. He may die of excitement if he hears I've quoted him!
- Dilpreet, on the IIM or IIMnot day. What I didn't tell you, is that all the while I did have the pimples, I was sitting right in your house. Funny you didn't notice then!I was probably the Pimple Queen of my school!
Tujhe kabhi pimples ka problem nahi aaya hoga na?Kaafi clear skin hai. Sahi hai yaar
Ab toh hass saale- Yash, a TY to Vishal, an SY- during the GBM after SNIFF's first day.
Main nirdosh hoon- Ankit, when Maryam and me trapped him between us on the bench because we thought he was very cute.
We and me
So we walked the distance today
Held hands, smiled about
We tried to show we're two best friends
And said we'd always be around
Then there were others who called it love
and then there were few who didn't understand
That the connection was somewhere deep in our hearts
And not just lost in intertwined hands
We walked through fields of yellow flowers
And walked through rain and sharp stones
We walked through thorns and walked through clouds
And places where our feet froze
On our journey to hell and back
We met our friends, we battled our foes
What we feared we conquered, what lost was gained
Feelings and thoughts beyond our know
Then came the day when my friend's heart vanished
To someplace he didn't reveal
He lied to keep her secret safe
And made bruises in me that still won't heal
What he betrayed was a trust of a friend
Who promised to stand by till the end
What he missed on his way to woo his girl
That he'd left half of him in a ruthless world
Sometimes time does heal all wounds
Sometimes, it just forgets
Sometimes one friend only gives
While the other unintentionally only gets
It could've been that it was love
That he felt for the maiden fair
So I was blind to hurt and bleed
Life's little games aren't always fair
Today we stand still smiling well
And trust stays hovering more than ever
I found a way to live with cuts
We and me shall stay friends forever.

And then again...
I'm back to the giggling phase. Sometimes I really wonder if I'm all that sane. I see look-alikes of the guy I'm currently whooshing over, and blush all the while.
Like today. Some random basketball player from Xavier's was all it took to have me fantasizing (again!)of the multi-talented genius.
Am I the only person who daydreams about the person I am so into?
Are there others who smile to themselves when that one comes to their mind?
Are there more of me who are constantly wishing he wasn't all that far away?
Are these signs of falling into a deep, dark pit of dreams and words and pictures of one day being by his side?

In my head
"Up yet?"
"You woke me"
"Hmmm...should I call later?"
"No, it's fine. What happened? Wassup?"
"It's gonna take some time, you free for a while?"
"Yeah yeah, tell"
"I thought about it"
"Wait, I'm talking to you after a week, you thought about what?"
"Our conversation a few months back"
"I think I know what you're talking about. I'm just surprised you should bring it up. I thought we finished with it"
"I know, that was what I thought too. Like that was long ago"
"Ohk. Well?"
"So how's Anvit?" "Yeah he's good. Out for the vacation" "Hmmm, and Mohit?"
"Haven't spoken to him since ages. Why you asking?"
"So you like Anvit?"
"No re, nothing serious. He was something like an overblown infatuation."
"Was I one?"
"Do we have to talk about this?"
"Just curious. Sorry"
"No it's fine. If you must know, you were more than infatuation"
"Hmmm"
"Okay, so tell me, how's Priyal?"
"I don't know"
"Haven't met in a while or what?"
"We split"
"Oh gosh.I'm so sorry to hear that"
"Yeah she decided I was getting too serious"
"Oh"
"This happened a month back. Or wait, 2 months back"
"It'll be ok. If you really like her she'll come back to you"
"You think so?"
"I don't know. I hope so"
"Did you really like me that much?"
"How much?"
"You know, that I'd come back, or something"
"I did like you a lot, I don't know how much though"
"'I did'? You've moved on well na?"
"Pretty much. See even you'll get over her. It's just a matter of time. She'll come back to you if this has to happen. It's a-"
"Did you wish I'd come back to you if we were to happen?"
"This is about you, not me. Let's not mix the two"
"Answer me"
"Chaitanya-"
"Answer me"
"Well, to an extent I did"
"You still think so?"
"Where's this going?"
"She decided I was getting too serious about you"
"Did you remind her we weren't ever together?"
"No"
"Then you should have. Do it now"
"What'll happen then?"
"Then she'll understand and you guys'll be together again"
"What if I don't want that?"
"Chaitanya, what's the matter?"
"I couldn't stop think about what you said"
"What did I say?"
"The part that you couldn't figure what you liked about me, but you did"
"What about it?"
"I think I'm seeing sense for the first time in months"
"You've stopped making any to me for the past 5 minutes"
"Reva, I haven't stopped thinking about you for the past 4 months"
"So you think Priyal's right?"
"I know she is"
"Chaitanya, I got over you 4 weeks after our conversation"
"So I don't stand a chance?"
"What do you want me to say?"
"Don't you feel even a fraction the same about me?"
"I moved on"
"Are you with someone?"
"Yes"
"Do I know him?"
"It's Deep"
"Oh, ok"
"Yeah"
"I'm, well, I'm sorry to have hurt you"
"Oh it's no big deal"
"I hope you guys do well"
"Now you're sounding like an obituary"
"I guess. Just that, I'll always be around for you, okay?"
"Thanks"
"I guess, bye, then"
"Hmmm, yeah. And Chaitanya..."
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Deep"
"Aah that's ok. I kept Priyal a secret too, remember?"
"It wasn't to get even"
"I know. Well, bye"
"You'll be therein the evening?"
"I'll be in class. I'll be back, by say, 9.15"
"You woke me"
"Hmmm...should I call later?"
"No, it's fine. What happened? Wassup?"
"It's gonna take some time, you free for a while?"
"Yeah yeah, tell"

"What do you want me to say?"
"Don't you feel even a fraction the same about me?"
"I moved on"
"Are you with someone?"
"Yes"
"Do I know him?"
"It's Deep"
"Oh, ok"
"Yeah"
"I'm, well, I'm sorry to have hurt you"
"Oh it's no big deal"
"I hope you guys do well"
"Now you're sounding like an obituary"
"I guess. Just that, I'll always be around for you, okay?"
"Thanks"
"I guess, bye, then"
"Hmmm, yeah. And Chaitanya..."
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Deep"
"Aah that's ok. I kept Priyal a secret too, remember?"
"It wasn't to get even"
"I know. Well, bye"
"You'll be therein the evening?"
"I'll be in class. I'll be back, by say, 9.15"
