Slice of pizza


Hmmm the mouth watering Italian cuisine. I simply love it. With the topping of cheese, tomato, onion and capsicum. Shit sorry for slurping but just the thought of it increases the salivary production from my sublingual glands (for the non biological students- it is the salivary gland present at the base of the tongue). I had this strong urge to eat pizza since MONDAY....... and there were some who even said they'd take me out for pizza but.............. So I targeted my collegue whose birthday had just passed. 'Please pizza khila de, khila dena..........' Few of my close friends joined me in this pursuit. Whoops!!!!!!! Poor guy had to give in to our demands. I would start the day with the chant 'Please aaj khila de........' and end it with '.......... tune aaj bhi nahi khilaya'. So finally last evening at 7pm our brigade marched down to Nirula's to satisfy our taste buds. However we were restricted to only 2 regular sized pizza :-(............ since there were 4 of us , with 4 pieces in each pizza, each of us just gotta piece (well my Maths has not deterioted even though am a Biology student). Well I was satisfied with the topping- onion, cheese and tomato but my other friend wanted 6 toppings (sorry I the list is too long to be put in). One thing that I noticed was each time they served the pizza it was unequally divided into the pieces (We received them at intervals and not together). Everytime my collegue would set down the plate in front of us it was always the small slice that faced me. I didn't grab the large piece as my friend did. I kept on chewing the small piece. Why Aeshna! why did you not take the large piece! you were the one who wanted to eat pizza for the past 1 week. Is it so with my life too. Am I missing the the best of oppurtunities and letting them go to someone else's lap. I can count the innumerable oppurtunities which were passed down right down my nose and yet I just couldn't get them................................ No I don't think so Aeshna! You may have just had the small slice but you enjoyed it in every bite. It may have finished fast but you savoured the taste for long. Yesterday your tummy was not well and having an extra bite would just have made you sick. You are drooling over the oppurtunities which you have not got but have forgotten to to count the oppurtunities that you have got and as against others you were in the limelight. The results can be seen in your professional life. Ooooooooopssss that was some sermon. And where did I start having these thoughts....... while running on the treadmill today morning. Anyway next time I am having the whole pizza to myself Slurp! slurp! Sorry for being so slurpy.

Latest from Salsa is............. no news. Our class was cancelled last Sunday :-(. Hey anyone for 'Avatar'.............. I wanna watch the movie. Whoever wants to watch please join me. I need company......... you know where to contact me ;-)

The story of the sensuous six yards

5 months....as usual a long time.....oodles have happened during this period...I submitted my thesis on 16th December, 2011 (groan! no more hilarious Ph.D. comic scripts now). The new year brought a new surprise...my status was updated from research scholar-------->Assistant Professor....yes yes now I teach undergraduate students....(I know its a shock for you...it was an even bigger shock for me....ME.. A....T-E-A-C-H-E-R)... While starting out work there I realized it was very tough for me to establish myself as one cause I looked no more than a student. Today 4 months into the profession .......4 months of desperate attempts to look like a prof.......I was staring into my wardrobe when my eyes stopped over the pink coloured long cloth.....and I recalled what dadi (paternal grandmother) told me '.....saree is the most sensuous dress in which you can show all and hide all....'. With westernization creeping up all aspects....lifestyle, wardrobe...most of the women of young...

....the doorstep

...the doorstep again...she's been there...and she is here again...but alone. The picture on the other side is foggy...She looks back longingly..unwilling to let go of it......but no one is letting her live it. Again she feels the seering pain shoot through her. She closes her eyes tightly till tears escape. 'It will pass..it will pass ' she chants. She is breathless but slowly she feels the pain subside. 'Should I see a doctor? But what will I tell him?' She checks again, but cannot locate the source of pain. How tired she is...rest seems at bay. She is massaging her head slowly...damn! of course she will never find the source of pain......it is not physical. She sits by the side of window and recalls...never a popular child...known only for her chubbiness she cringed at the thought of a big gathering where she would be the butt of their jokes. The best escape was to bury herself in books..atleast she would find solace in their silence. In no time she was popul...

Cry cry kaiko cry!!!!!!

'......cry cry kaiko cry.....' of lately am humming this song a lot.........life just isn't unfolding itself like I would want it to. Hardwork may just not reap results no not always..........Have been waiting so long for that bell to ring just that piece of cake which would sweeten up my life a bit.....maybe a magic wand which would maybe for just for a few moments lighten up my life...that phonecall for which I have been waiting so long........But life is a mystery and you can keep on wondering why is it happening and yet never come up with an answer to that why. It is a general human tendency to think they carry the burden of the heaviest cross.....they are burdened with all the problems. But just look around you and you will realise you are the blessed one. I keep crying about not getting positive results not being able to manage my life.....and oh! of that phonecall......but Aeshna what about that girl, Sujata who was abandoned by her husband and left to fend for herse...
