Chapter 6 - Gohana, Delhi, Tri Nagar, Mayur Vihar, Manu Apartments



Index of Journals

Gohana

Gohana is a sub-division/tehsil, a town and a municipal committee in Sonipat district in the Indian state of Haryana. Geography: Gohana is located at 29.13°N 76.7°E. It has an average elevation of 225 meters (738 feet). Demographics: Gohana town is situated in Sonipat district of Haryana. It is a main sub-division of more than 300,000 populations now in year 2011, has its own municipality and a constituency for Haryana Vidhan Sabha. Villages in Gohana (Subdivision) are around 86.It is located in west from District Sonipat. From the district, its distance is 40 km. Earlier it was part of Rohtak district.

Delhi and Tri Nagar

Delhi in comparison to this Manu Apartments society or any other society in this area has fared much better in terms of my expectations as it turned out to be much faster in its overall development. The thing I noticed about Delhi is its greenery, cleanliness, lesser slums, the wide roads, the flyovers (now they are everywhere in Delhi), Metro connectivity, and the visible crowd of Delhi (yes, that has changed too). Delhi has come a long way and it still has a long way to go. Thanks to Arvind Kejriwal. The changes that I saw in Tri Nagar were: - The roadside trash block had been closed and turned into an office for some government official. This led to major reduction in cows and dogs and litter in this area. - The factories had been moved out from the Tri Nagar to some remote areas of Delhi such as Bawana district of North West Delhi. This led to a change of the tenant crowd here. The factory workers had moved out from Tri Nagar to locations near-by the factories. - Street lights had been installed in the streets (at least in the streets near to my house). These street lights are very compact in size and very bright, thanks to the technological advancements. - CCTV cameras had been installed in the streets (at least in the streets near to my house).

Manu Apartments

Mavilla apartments (society on the left Manu apartments, on right it is Maitri) put up silver-jubilee banner, society was 25 years old (1987-2012). As amma tells, the cost of the flat in Manu Apartments had come up to be 4 Lacs (0.4 million INR). That should be the cost to investor buyers. 30-40 years ago: grandpa had registered in the court with a person for the land for the lawyers for some R200 and since then they had be giving the installments as were required until the flats were ready. He got lucky in the draw and got the first flat, the flat number one. The flat now stood at 15 million INR as the base value for the owners. Otherwise, its present let-out sale price for a buyer will be over 30 million. That is 90 times the investment value for the flat 25 years ago.

16-Dec-2001, Sunday

We had organized lunch for the society and also invited our family’s professional contacts. It was on the occasion of us shifting here in Manu. Though, we had moved here back in March after the completion of examination of us, the kids, in our old schools, we waited until December for throwing a party. According to a note found in the documents kept by grandpa, the cost of the function was over 23000 for the record, but it had come close to Rs 30000 on including the indirect and supportive expenses.

Manu Apartments in 2021

Manu Apartments is a society in East Delhi. The location of this society is at a walking distance of 5 to 10 minutes from the metro station and about 15-20 minutes from the Akshardham temple. The Mayur Vihar phase-1 station became an intersection on 31 December 2018. I realized it in December 2020 because I never had to use the Metro so much since moving to Chandigarh. When I was traveling in the metro Pink line in the December, I saw that Delhi has seen a lot of developments since the time I had seen it before. Now, the thing about Manu apartments is that it is a society where if each flat costs about 7.3 crores INR (in Feb 2021) then each member of that society should be at least a millionaire in USD terms. The prices of flats would vary as there are seven A blocks, three B blocks and one C block with A being the cheapest and C being the costliest. The calamity is that residents of this society don't have space to park their cars now. The management committee of the society drew the policy that only two cars can be parked inside the society and now people park their cars on the foot walk outside the society gate. It is a complete ridiculous sight if you ever get to go from outside this society.

Chapter 5 - Lalaji (my great grandfathers) and Sameer's birth



Index of Journals
Grandma had been to US in the year 1997. It was winters, final days of December. It was for ten days, and grandma returned here after the New Year. Sameer was born a week later on 8 January 1998.

After grandma returned, she didn’t find the diaries in which she had written about the family generations, starting from the lowest, uncle (Yashvir Singh Jain), dad (Babbu), to the great grand fathers of grandpa. It had very minute facts about them, which cannot be retold or recollected from memory. 

The blame went on aunt (Seema) and mom (Sadhana) for misplacing it, or throwing it away in trash. Aunt had verbally shot back if she was being blamed of stealing. Then grandma made clear that there was not money it the diary, that she would blame for stealing, it just had some information that was both important and personal to her. Along with the diaries, chachi had also misplaced a large silver-coin with the figure of god on it; it was given to grandma by chachaji.

Grandma would be never name grandpa’s father and grandpa’s grandfather; she believes that it is disrespectful. Grandpa would use ‘LALAJI’ before the name of his father and his two uncles; it was also out of respect. Over time, Lalaji had become a synonym to refer to any of the great grandfathers for me; it was never clear to me how to differentiate one from other.

2011-Mar-31 (Students caught cheating in ADA practical)



Index of Journals
March 31, 2011

“Why would Aditya want my writings? What is going on his mind?” 

Who would sing rap in Operating Systems class? He demanded this; I couldn’t think of my any of my own song, I asked if he would listen to Eminem because anyway he wouldn’t know what song it is going to be. Well, the class got over without much mess in my lap.

Apurva wants to go to Google; she said when Aditya asked what we wished to do after the BTech. I had told him about GRE and GATE. That was very cool to listen to. 
I always thought attending to classes was useless but I now realize that taking pressure on your own head doesn’t help you score rather you add to the pressure that teachers put on students. Plus it is not that teachers put any less pressure, okay may be a few not but then others compensate for it. It is not a very good idea to miss classes.

I attended to all lectures right from Computer Graphics at 8am. I even took notes for the first time in fourth semester. Sonam, Arushi, Parul, Vibha are the inspiration. I have to become a little more sincere. I need to score marks, win over teachers, and rebuild a reputation.

ADA lecture was easy. Because students talked when sir was writing on the board, he skipped Topological Sorting. A few students of the right row (Nishant, Vern) requested but sir has been adamant with what he says. Later when students requested to disclose attendance count, students said their attendance is short because sir would keep them out. I asked sir what is this logic of putting students out of the class on things like coming a little late (not like 10 minutes but lesser), talking in class (even in ears). He then praised me in response to that, actually he just referred to the fact that I have thrown out only once, that when I had first time entered the class for the very first lecture of fourth semester. In the next ADA lecture that eventually was my first ADA class I was made the CR. Sir told the class to learn something from me, then he said I have an X-factor in me, and he recognized this right in my face when he first time saw me that is why he made me the CR.
Next was Software Engineering, Priti ma’am had put no attendance of mine, though I had attended to one lecture of her yesterday. She is a pure bitch, both by looks and actions, so deep into bitchiness. I got one attendance out of eight. When she said it I said ‘no problem’. I talked to teacher during this one minute about batch A’s lab attendance. I just told her that one will have to show maturity, why whole batch should suffer because of a few students. She asked if I was talking about lab, and then she said that I should come later for this. I said ‘god damn it’ in Parul’s face ad I turned and walked to my seat.

I wanted to just lay there and sleep at all times at college at all times. I was awake previous night. I needed sleep, my eyes were screaming this. I was snoozing in Algorithms Design and Analysis lab at 1230. Sir had sent back Faizan and Eena-Meena-Deeka for coming late after pretty much a show to watch. He was quite for two hours and then when it came to correcting files he shut everyone in the room up in last few minutes. With every student who was roll-called sir was mad, madder and more. He had checked files of B batch without even giving a look. In our case, the creepy A-batch (the batch of losers) he screamed on every single person who came for copying program with errors and writing output for it. I thought maybe I could get away easily because time was running and he wouldn’t have much time to say anything to us. But then he said he would keep the files and would check them before us tomorrow, did he mean in the class, holy-shit!

I just did the Matrix Chain Multiplication and got it right.

I went to college without having a bath. I would have been late otherwise. I missed Algorithms Desing and Analysis class, the 8am class. I had to do an assignment of Communication Systems just copy it from the one I had brought home. I, as a CR of the class, collected the copies that were to be submitted yesterday and then asked Komal to give her copy to me for a day. I was not the only one doing that, so I was helped by the situation, benefits of being CR.

I slept last night and copied the assignment in the bus. The sad point was that the teacher was absent today. We came to know this right when it was her period. I brought home all the assignment copies submitted. 

Because Tanvi Gautam took sir’s book yesterday in the lab and she had not returned it to him in his hands, sir could not teach us without book today. He took test. I wrote the questions and submitted the sheet after snoozing through the period. I did this only for one attendance. The college management is very serious about taking students under there control, college norms have been tightened and are anticipated to be obeyed. It is because of attendance that I am going to college. No teacher there is worth my shit otherwise (except a few).

Attending Operating Systems lecture was not difficult, because the teacher do not seem to have any problem with me just listening to her and not writing anything.

I wrote a sorry-application to give to Priti ma’am on the behalf of the class and then the things just messed up in the end. Irfan wrote application in my name. I took signatures of most that were present, after a few who resisted signing earlier signed later on seeing the few signatures. They think they are to decide everything that goes by, hindering even the person who steps forward to take a lead. It is Komal, and her other friends of A batch (who are known as Eena-Meena-Deeka to everyone). I could not find the teacher to show the application to her. The period starts at 1230. I came home before that, because yesterday ma’am had told that she would not be taking the lab-sessions for S1A, I had just waited to find the teacher and talk to her but that didn’t happen. When I came home, I saw five missed calls, two from Irfan, and three from Manish. When I called Manish back, he was very angry. The teacher had rebuked them for coming to the lab. She allowed a few selected students to take the attendance and then she sent all of them back. Then I called Vibha and she said ma’am even scolded her. Huh, how is that my fault? I had been doing all the work to get them to SE labs but first complete daylong they would talk of match and giving lecture a miss, they dissuade me from doing this thing today and postpone it for some other day but then they would go to lab like they run this college and get scolded by the teacher. Blame-game, which is all they are good at doing.

It is India-Pakistan World cup semi-final going on since 1430, whole nation is watching.

College wasn’t nice. Not in all periods. I attended Priti ma’am for the first time. I had caught her eyes before but I never leapt forward to wish her. I seemed to not have any words to start with. Still it was fine as I attend my first lecture of her. She was cool, as always. She didn’t seem to hold any grudges, and I am not fit to hold any. It rather felt good to attend to her lecture, should I say relieved. Because A-batch students missed the lab session, ma’am has decided not to take any lab of A-batch in near future. I have not been to lab since I can’t remember; it has been a very long time. God, is ma’am crazy?

Next was Algorithms Design and Analysis, I felt a little myself for the first time in Prashant sir’s class. Otherwise, I always had expressionless, stale face, thoughts and words (if I spoke). Sir seemed to light on me. That was good.

In Communication Systems class I missed my roll-call during attendance and the teacher (Smriti ma’am, stupid sl*t) didn’t put it later when I went to her. God, doesn’t she know that I’m already running on a low. Basically, these people want respect that they don’t deserve. Is it the same with everyone?

I had tried so hard to get Nitish, Sonam, and Parul to start work on Software Engineering project but these people seem busy with other work, or they are not interested. Whatever, I am out of it, what I look like to them. I wouldn’t be talking about it at first again until it is one from them to start. They were interested in putting the workload on the other people. Nitish thinks it should be Sonam and Parul. Parul said she will take time, Sonam said I should do the initialization. But, wasn’t it because of her that we chose ‘Hotel management’ thinking that she would get us a start.

I am about to touch 5K mark. I have been saving money which I get to travel to college and back. I use DTC bus pass to travel free at the cost of Rs 165-per-month and save about Rs 550 every month from what I get from babaji.

Bio students, hard core rote learners, study computer engineering at NIEC (ADGITM). What did they learn to use logic and not rote learn everything. Then, there are SC/ST/OBC quota students, hard workers. Yes, hard work gets those marks, and those who believe in remembering concepts for applying and not specifically writing in the exams are left behind. Management quota students are a completely different breed, who do not even fit the place but are still here.

I worked on the internet on phone whole day, I had activated plan for one day to see the result but it didn’t come. Huh, I am worried.

These days, my big dreams of GRE and MS seem to be bare illusions when I see that I can’t even get decent scores in terminal tests at this place not known to anybody.

Shruti has dropped. She thinks that Prashant need to clear the exams because the house has a bad track record for academic-droppers. She was counting on me, why would people count me with people who dropped? 

I never dropped if NIEC (ADGITM) is the place they call my study center. I got here in the first try. I tried for IITJEE again but that was brutally away from the way it was supposed be. My life is far more difficult than what it looks like from away. My attitude keeps people burning from inside, leading them to count on my failures. It’s philosophical; they simply want to keep their head high in their own eyes. It is not just her but everybody else along with.

I hate NIEC (ADGITM). Medical students come here and do computer engineering. What the hell is that supposed to mean! Shruti Aggrawal, that nerd, who has distorted figure of every body part, used to study human-body, animal kingdoms, and plant kingdoms. Now, she is studying computers. God, she was sitting on first bench and copying some assignment when the stupid teacher was teaching. Then she would tell teacher to stop teaching. What the hell is that! 

I had to interrupt but then what do I say! I am pissed by my own poor results. And they are coming in a day or two now. Kriti Bahl screamed ‘ha-ha-ha, class is dead by listening to your joke’ in the same period when she was telling the teacher that it is 1:29 (referring to the time) and teacher asked what she was saying. I said that her roll number. I stayed quiet in insult. 

I was worried by seeing the release of USIT (University School of Information Technology). They hadn’t mentioned the name of institution. I downloaded the result and took a breath of relief.

I was dreaming of myself on killing spree, I had killed my family and my teachers. I don’t think I’d love to elaborate it. I had another dream in succession so I just don’t have the earlier one in mind either.

I watched ‘the social network’ again. It was good, yet again. Otherwise I slept through the day. In the evening badi buaji and Shruti were here. 

Lately I was in amma’s room and Srishti and Anu were discussing about Shruti’s high ambitions to become the best surgeon of India, like how she said. Anu was telling how she tried to bring reality to Shruti’s mind by being negative. Anu is of course negative, just that she don’t accept it herself. Srishti was listening and it was philosophy class going on there. Philosophy can be made to work for either side, all that one need is the supporting example, quote, or story. It is why I have stopped looking at things philosophically and have started to be logical. Srishti is stupid.

I had told Ankur that I would return his earphones to Shruti for carrying but I didn’t. May be I could watch a couple movies more.

I am still uncertain about my future. I don’t know where I would be when I will be successful, with the way I toy with my life I don’t know if I would ever be successful. There’s no way I can see in which I am getting out of this house. Even if I achieve anything by walking in the line I wouldn’t away from these people. And what I do get here, other than just being looked down at. Is it going to be this way forever, am I never going to be on my feet?

I went to get my bus pass renewed and that was all I did. It left me tired, actually. I slept through the day. I got my slippers fixed today, I paid extra again, Rs 3 for a minute stitching. I had sort of verbal miscommunication with amma and babaji due to mood-off. Well, who is responsible for it, they themselves are. 

I was watching movie ‘Planet of apes’ on TV in the evening and then Ankur came to our surprise. Now, it is 0013 and I want to go to sleep. Not much work today.

Shruti Barapuria had posted on FB about building a website for 2009 batch students. I wonder if Aditya is stealing my plans and ideas about forming a community in the wake making me look like a fool. Just in case if anything like that is there, they are not going to get anything from, they are just excited with idea of it, but a practical analysis would tell them that it is not practically feasible. Dumb a***oles were trying to overrun Ashish Jain.

Oh god, both Prashant and Shruti were discussing Jainism and they got shit load of knowledge about Jainism. It is all a waste of resource called ‘brain’.

Last year when I was coming to college and the decision against YB (year back) was still pending in the court, I used to sit in MBA classrooms. One day I had met a guy, well dressed, dark, and tall. We were just discussing if it is right to come to this college as a B.TECH or MBA student. Then he told me one thing about those who don’t score in exams, “everybody has his own caliber”. I repeat his words whenever it comes to discussing failures these days.

Who told the stupid that mosquitoes are photo-receptive? Prashant, I am talking about. 

“Why couldn’t I call Sonam? Why I was getting her phone to be busy?” I finalized ‘Hotel management’ with Nitish and Parul on phone.

New drama at home, Anu is demanding the keys to the room in the balcony. She said that the kids who come to her room during the day leave it totally messed. Chachi is against giving the keys. Let us see what happens.

I was awake until four am doing Algorithms Analysis and Design programming; I had dinner just before going to bed before dawn. I had to get up late. Irfan and Shruti Barapuria called me around 9 and 0930. It was surprising to see the missed calls from their numbers. They wanted Priti madam’s number from me. I was feeling lucky to have madam’s number for the first time. Well, the people who seemed to be running the C.S1.E group on Facebook were now in need of Ashish Jain. I refused to give the number in polite words; to Shruti I just denied having it. 

Prachi’s result came out today. I didn’t see. What do I care, though I had taught her Number Line in September?

India won the match against Australia. It was World cup quarter finals. I am happy, so is everybody else. 

Shruti came by to stay with us right when her exams got over (it was yesterday, I guess). Shruti came by and slept in the room while talking to us (Prashant and me). It wasn’t until 2am that I was down in the bed. She had stopped talking by then, and Prashant may be studied for a while more and then he was down too. 

Prachi and Shruti are both here for night stay.
Had Ankur not filled my phone balance to Rs 10 I would have still remained depressed. I am thinking of going back to old times, life is never going to be easy until and unless I myself don’t make it terrible for me today.

People are naturally so incapable that they have to eat on those who are capable and believe in spreading the talent. They are not given appreciation and then a copy of their ideas gets more attention than their masterpiece itself, what is that supposed to mean? Aditya asked “so nobody is coming tomorrow” and he got 18 f*cking comments and my earlier post that declared that it’d off next day, didn’t get a single response! I lately found that my post was deleted, what else can they do with me? God, I am going to be pissed whole day now.

Parul, how can she put down my phone after asking who is it. And basically she had herself given me the number, then why this awkward act? 

Now this Rs 50 ear phone is not working, why can’t god find peace somewhere else and not in troubling me. Prashant is not behind it, is he?
Prxnt sir threw Aditya, Sonam, Shruti, and Srishti out for talking one by one, and that too with smile on the face. He just had to stay adamant, and make them feel more and more guilty with every sorry that they were saying. Sir is really smart. 
I had just gone to college to attend to SE lab but then Priti ma’am suspended it due to work load from Technophilia (Technical event of NIEC) on 26 March. God damn her. Just before when I had reached college Faizan, Rizwan, and Nitin got into mess with the security guards. Three guards had followed to distance later, they doubted the involvement of police, but it wasn’t there.
I referred to Arushi (the topper) with the name Aarti. That was stupid on my side, but everybody knows how she must have felt. God, I didn’t do it intentionally, I was indeed stupid.

Amma should be dead. Manju bua too. I don’t know what problem do Manju buaji have with me, why she have to be always showing me down, telling me impractical modifications for what I do, how I do. She would always suggest on cutting down my resources. Oh god, kill me!

The other day when babaji was telling me that I will have to go from here if I disturb Prashant, I asked why he even brought me here if he was so incapable. That was pretty frank and nothing wrong. 

I gave R55 to the shoe-maker for doing job of about half the worth. I just gave him the extra to appreciate his talent and the art that is going to be lost with time. 
Oh, god, I screamed ‘yes ma’am’ from outside the class when attendance was going on during Communication Systems class. I had screamed twice and Smriti ma’am asked the class who it was. 

God bless me

2011-Mar-22 (Kritika Puri Passes Away)

I missed Rekha buaji’s birthday yesterday. It wasn’t intentional though I personally had no intention of wishing her, plus it creates hell lot of tension in the mind when you have to miss something which you now remember unforgettably. Manju buaji too missed it. 

Shreya Sood, she would never speak to me, but today she did. She told me the bad news of one of our batch mate at Ahlcon. Kritika Puri died in gas leakage in her house, and her sister is in critical condition. I could not recall who she was at the moment but I surely know the name. It was sad; Shreya said Gurarchi told her about this. 
I attended Algorithms Analysis and Design lecture and as all of us back benchers were sitting in the stairs during the 8am lecture of SE the teacher, Priti Verma came out to see what students were sitting in get-together. She saw as a part of the class for the first time in the stairs today. Priti Verma came here to teach us sophomores because she needed to develop contacts with children to come forward for active participation in FNORD, 2011. There is no participation from our class, unrecognizable in the headline makers. 
I came back home early and slept. I was running out of sleep because of sleepless night yesterday. Prashant in the morning created fuss about the light being opened whole night, the kid seems to have developed problem with it. Babaji was very serious for me not to cause any kind trouble for the a**hole until its entrance exams. 
I got 13 in CG and the teacher refused to show me either the marks or the sheet. 

God bless me

Babaji needn’t be that rude to me then. It does really shake your mental being. It is not good, new psychopaths are created every day. I had just given an irritating repeated look to Srishti, the bitch created a fuss about it and babaji, who was watching news, now got involved. He just said, “He is mad, mad, he is.” I walked away without saying anything. 

I was lucky for having woken up before babaji left for court in the morning. Otherwise I was going to miss college today. The college was fine. I got 14 in CS and 17 in DCS. I was a bit relieved after knowing this. I had to score in Neeru madam’s subject (DCS). When Raghav and I were having cheap talk Karishma was sitting behind us, and she was listening to us. It was the breast size of the Smriti ma’am (Communication Systems) that we were discussing when I noticed that it was Karishma who was sitting behind and not Chirag. Raghav bet with me that I had to get number of a girl. Of course, I wasn’t serious with it; it is not possible this easily. Dhanraj is a bit irritated with everything around; he criticizes every person around him. He told me that the class thinks that I’m a psycho. I told him, “F*ck them all,” no matter that was around.

There was earth quake today around 1419, according to news channels. I thought if it was coming when I was attending DCS lecture. 
Prashant Jain is running on a low, funny. Exams are near because. Chachiji is on a low, funny. Prashant’s results were on a low because. 

In the morning Ankur called. He wanted to give me his Portable Drive for a day. I wanted it for software but it had a lot else. In the evening around seven, he called me on the metro station. As I waited for I noticed the all the girls coming in and going out the station. Oh my god! Never thought Delhi had this much to give. Basically those were the girls who travel in Metro, hot and sexy girls, tough and tight. I also met Hemanshu (my ninth standard classmate). He is studying in Kurukshetra University, first year. He impressed with his knowledge, he was never like this before. He had years of failure in school life but today the guy impressed me. I got the Drive from Ankur and came home.

I abuse a lot, now it has come up from Facebook to real life. I was using word ‘PISHAAB’ (‘urine’ in English) again and again before Vibha, Irfan, and Abhishek Shukla the other day. Yesterday, Aksshita was advising me to be social on Facebook for using term ‘F*ck-that’. Today, I accidentally asked “who is barking against me?” when Srishti Jain had said something. Aksshita said she told me to be social, and then showed support by saying that ‘it is on my tongue and not on my mind’.

When I was running after teachers for help, they pushed into deep shit from which I haven’t yet fully come out. They were playing games around me, testing me, sending cops and detectives after me but I have something to advice them. The teachers to the students should be like what doctors are to their patients. I was troubled with some urinal problem (like gonorrhea, not gonorrhea, of course) when I had gone to see the doctor in summers of 2009. The doctor had corrected my sentence of ‘pissing’ to ‘passing urine’ or just ‘passing’. He was mature and caring, unlike these cheap sluts who did everything to catch a stalker red-handed who never existed.

March 19, 2011
I was in the balcony last evening. Hardik knew I was there. I had seen him too, but neither of us bothered to give a look. He was with his mother and that was probably the reason. Otherwise, maybe he has gained attitude over time. No, that’s, of course, not my problem. It did feel bad though. I didn’t call him because I don’t want to make any memories. I am already fighting the old ones. I was cool. Today, in the morning I saw him again. I saw from the window that he was talking to Vishwas. I wanted to go out and say them a ‘hi’ but then I controlled my feelings. He too needs to make new friends so that he can easily let me go and get lost. And, I most of the times, since many months, have hated him, he is not of my type, this decade old friendship has come closer to end.

I had two dreams of me last night, me killing Prashant in my first dream, and in the second I dreamt of Anshu ma’am. When I woke up I was still thinking about the dream, but then I had to give it way off. Anshu ma’am is a bitch in real, immature street walker. Or maybe, my way of approaching her was wrong. The Delhi was in such a social scenario, it still is.

In the afternoon, mamiji and Kartik were here. Not much about them.

The day was basically slow, and I was not able to do much with the books either. I sit on bed whole time long, and I then don’t even understand if the fatigue is in the legs due to sitting in bed for long, or in me due to studying for long. With no tension of money I think I can log on to my profiles using my phone. I logged onto Facebook, and also wished Smita for Holi.
It was perigee today, a thing that happens in every 18 years. I saw the moon from terrace and my eyes did find it a little bigger.
I felt like writing down a lot of my history today but then who has that much of time. 
God bless me

March 18, 2011

The days when the newspapers used to say only about global warming, I was scared. This fear was totally in my psyche. Chachu and chachi used to tell, every now and then, to switch off extra lights and electricity points as it used to consume electricity. By waste of electricity, they said they meant, waste of money. After listening to the same thing so many times, they had totally penetrated through my brain, to the point of madness. The fact was that newspapers had created a hype to draw attention of the masses, otherwise I can’t see any of the shit these days and it had been a long time. 
And these days the newspapers are saying a lot about empowering women. I can bet that this is again an unnecessary hype, nothing as realistic as it is being presented.
Holi is near on twentieth. Last evening children outside were making too much noise while having fun with water balloons. They were wasting water (according me, though I was extremely into it during my days, but my last Holi was the one that followed 11th class) and making a lot of noise. I had to study but they were making it difficult. I went to the window and saw Amogh outside. I told him to shoo away the noisy crowd of children. He was having fun with them and took my words to be just casual. Actually, Amogh loved to see them play. Later, Prashant went outside and cut the wire to the electric motor. It made everyone shut. Chachi came to the room to tell Prashant that what he did was a wrong thing. I instantly spoke in Prashant‘s favor. According to me, he did nothing wrong. But, babaji, chachi, Amogh, all were against it. He then went outside to settle the issue with the society people, but I didn’t hear that because I was wired into the laptop. 
It was a declared holiday. It was on Facebook. I felt jealous for a second but it is okay since I’m officially not missing any class. I had logged on via MBlaze modem of chachaji. Anu had it and it had only a small amount of data packets left for use. I didn’t know that and Anu was angry over me. Erstwhile, children playing outside broke the glass of the bathroom window. Babaji rushed to see that and he slipped near the door. Anu helped him stand and he forced an irritated smile back. Prashant went outside to check who it was, it was Saatvik (Mitthoo). Chachi told all of them to collect money and pay for the mess they made. 
The tension these days I have on my mind is about work. I can’t find a way out to deal with the pressure. I am going to miss second semester exams; I won’t be able to deal with both of the semesters, the current, and the second. 
I have to make a project for SE lab by Wednesday. I learned from Ravi. 
God bless me
