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...

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 ther...

The 'F' word

Well haven't written much in these few days for the simple reason nothing much has happened...... just like someone commented in an Indian restruant you get Indian food Phew! what an eye opener.Like I mentioned last time construction still on in my lab so my work is still stalled. Well this is building up my frustration.I will not utter this word'F' (Hey by the way its not fuck but frustration). I will tell you the heights of frustration building up in us. One day I found one of my collegues googling for the 'F' word. Well the only good thing that is happening is I am improving on my salsa. Yesterday in my dance class I slapped my sir some 4-5 times. No PUHLEEZ I didn't slap him with my hands 'cause he misbehaved or so.. its because my hair has grown so long and that every time he made me turn .SLAP............ he'd be slapped with my hair. OUCH! poor he was black blue by the end of his turn with me. 'SORRY SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!'. But my turns are impr...

Mirror mirror on the wall!!!!!!!!!!

'Mirror mirror on the wall who is fairest of them all?' Well this is a line straight from the story Snow White and seven dwarfs. But this line holds an importance in the life of every female. The last minute checking yourself in the mirror 'Is my dress looking fine, I hope I am not looking fat'. It is the quest of every girl to make her mirror speak '........ but you are fairest of them all.' Why do all the dresses in the trial room make my figure look picture perfect but as soon as I bring them home make me look fat??????????????????? Hmmm is it the mirror in my room which is become toooo old to not give a very clear image of me............. I would love to believe it. The other day Swati and myself were hunting the kamala nagar (hot spot for shopping on campus) when , while moving out of one of the boutique she shrieked '........ eeks it is misleading'. I looked around wondering what in the whole world has brought about this remark only to be encounter...

Just another holiday??????????, 15th August

Yawn! Another day. Kool it seems it will rain. A welcome change from the scorching heat God has been punishing us all these days with. Get up Aeshna or you won't get any breakfast. Gawd why can't the timings of the breakfast shift to an hour later. Its a damn HOLIDAY!!!!!. I hope someone hears me. Believe me never watch a late night movie especially something like 'HANGOVER'. What a terrible hangover I have. Drag! drag! hopefully I reach the mess and not bang my head against a pillar. ALL THE RESIDENTS ARE REQUESTED TO COME DOWN FOR FLAG HOISTING######## Ouch why do they have to shout on the announcement box. Forget it Who wants to go down for flag hoisting. Its not a compulsion. Anyway I hate getting out of my night dress and godown. While sipping tea I just thought 'Nahi yaar its been long that I have attended flag hoisting '. Ki farak painda. Main kuch bhi pahan ke chali jaaooon. I looked at myself in the mirror and thought 'tie your hair and I think your...

Celebrating friendship

This Sunday was the day we decided to celebrate our friendship. We took a wow to do all that we missed during our grad days within a year. Cheers! to the noble wow. Neha came straight from work (night shift) to my hostel. Barely able to open her eyes, Yawn :-o. But I was too excited to let her sleep. We sat down in the canteen and chatted over a cup of Kishan Bhaiya ki famous chai for about an hour. Suddenly I realised the time and thought that Neha should sleep a bit before Sohini storms in and insists that we leave the hostel. Well Sohini as usual was late. So I got time to get out of my night dress. As soon as she was in the hostel off we went to the hotspot of the campus, KAMLA NAGAR. From spending time at CCD, to bargaining with the vendors to get the the best price bargain, we sweated our morning there. Suddenly Sohini had the brainstorm that we should all watch 'Hangover' together. The movie was being screened at the other end of the city, Select Citywalk. We somehow man...

Long long time

Hey!!!!!!!!!! once again a long gap! Man I just can't keep up the pace with blogging. Well work being finally decided am a bit mentally relaxed. Oh! no back to the same topic. Work! Am not going to bore myself with work even on my blog. Today we had an interesting discussion. Pooja (my senior) asked us an interesting question. Which moments of your life would you like to re -live but in a different way. Hmmmmmmm!!!!!!!! point to ponder. But Idon't think should waste much of my energy on it. Of course my college life. I lived my grad life like a NERD. Get up in the morning, brush my teeth, have my breakfast and go to the college. Had all my notes intact. With my specs on the brink of my nose was among the toppers. I had terrible dressing sense (now my friends tell me). If give a chance to re live it how would it be.............................................. Get up late in the morning. Shit missed the alarm and the first class. Never mind got plenty of time to dress up for the...
