The Countdown to Exams

Genre: College Life

5 Days Before Exam:

" Is baar books kaunse lene hai kuch idea hai kya?"

" Professor ne syllabus diya kya?"

4 Days Before Exam:

" Xerox nikaalne jaa raha hai to ek copy mera bhi bol de."

" Ye abhi jo xerox liya humne vo kaunse subject ka hai?"

3 Days Before Exam:

" Vo 32 rupees wale xerox me se kya kya karneka hai?"

" 2nd Assignment ke answers ka xerox to hai mere paas, questions kisike paas hai kya?"

2 Days Before Exam:

" Arre, first paper kaunsa hai?"

" Oye Section 7.2 and 7.3 nahi karneka tha kya? Maine galti se vo bhi padh liya.. shit!"

" Kya ****** hai be tu.. pehle poochna to chahiye!"

1 Day Before Exam:

" Sixth chapter me important kya kya hai? Mere paas sirf ek ghanta hai ab"

" Ye last me jo sums diye hai class me vo karne hai kya?"

Just Before the Paper:

" Kya kya option me chhoda?"

" Arre kuch nahi aata yaar.. vaat hai meri toh aaj!"

Just After the Paper:

" Kaisa tha? Mereko to poochna bhi mat"

" Arre mereko Q 3b aata tha yaar but time hi nahi mila.."

" Saala jo option me chhodke aaya tha vohi compulsory me pooch liya!"

PS: If only all textbooks had pictures like THIS, studying for exams would be a lot more enjoyable!

Love Hate

Genre: Current Affairs

It's that time of the year again when hordes of desperate publicity-hungry self-confessed "protectors of Indian culture" come out of hiding and go on a rampage. I have only three questions for them-

If you say guys and girls holding hands and dancing together is against Indian culture, what about Krishna Leela?

If you say Public Display of Affection is against Indian culture, what about Khajuraho?

If you say celebrating love is against Indian culture, what about Kamasutra?

Shiv Sena, Ram Sena and God-knows-what Sena, get a crash course in REAL Indian culture before embarking on hooliganism.

May Love Prevail Over Hate!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

The Queens on Tracks

Genre: Life

Once, a Times of India journalist, interviewing me and my friends for an article on the Indian Railways Fan Club, asked - "Why is it that your group has no girls? Why do only guys love trains?"

At that time, we laughed off the question, but now I guess I know the answer. Guys love trains because trains are female!

Don't believe me? Check out this list carefully-

Amrita
Ananya
Aradhana
Archana
Avantika

Chamundi
Ekta
Gitanjali
Godavari
Indrayani

Mahalakshmi

Meenakshi
Narmada

Prashanti
Prerna
Shabari
Shakuntala

What is this? Attendance sheet from a girl's college?
No!
This, (alongwith the suffix "Express" attached to each of them) is nothing but the list of names of popular Indian trains!

So, all you girls out there who used to think that guys who love trains are abnormal, time to change the misconception!
