How I passed my Tax exam..


Let us start by learning a new word - 


Before starting.. you must be wondering what's so unusual about passing an exam that it is being written about? People do it every semester.. all the time! Why all this fuss? What's the big deal?
Good question!
Well, It's saturday, I am free, and there is 10am powercut in my college so I don't know what else to do XD

Once more before starting. Have a good look at this picture. These are my seniors- Gobby Sir and Dobby Sir- our heroes of the day. Notice them carefully for 5 seconds.




Okay. That's a lot. I think we should start our story now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With burning eyes, when I woke up on Thursday evening was when I realized that the time had come- I can't escape any more now. It was time! Time for what? We'll know as we go on with the story.
This semester I had become more than indifferent towards a triplet of subjects. One of which is the dreadful - Tax Planning and Management. I had never cared about the poor subject and skipped nearly all classes towards the end of the semester.
It was dinner time. I was sweating. With intuition of flunking the exam next day, I summoned bits of courage from here and there and marched over to the NKC like a brave soldier (read: trembling kitten).



It was 10pm And I had finally seen the syllabus, which looked so tiny and I was dreading every minute of studying it. So I did my best to complete my syllabus by taking big-eyed selfies. (First I thought of putting them here, but the eyes were horribly BIG)
That's when our heroes come into picture. Recall what were they doing in the picture? Of course they were studying! 
But what were they studying? Their exam is on Monday! Good people should not study for exam 3 days in advance :P 
These farishtas were studying FBM-321 - Tax Planning and Management!
What? Whyy? Both of them have already cleared the course last year?  I had never seen them studying so sincerely. They were more worried that I should write something tomorrow than I was.. which was bad... And I felt.. bad.
That's when our word -of-the-day comes:
Up went my startled eyes as if at some trick of thaumaturgy
My lovely seniors taught me for sometime, what they taught in the short duration came in my exam! :D
Such nicey-nessss :') Happiness tears flowing. I could feel their pain of first studying their part patiently. and explaining it all to me, that too very patiently. Not getting irritated when I could not understand things at the first time and not angry-ing when I stopped listening intermittently. They did a really nice job of stuffing a bunch of things in my tiny head in a limited time. Bravo! 

(There were a couple of more heroes who gave me NOTES) :D

I nervously looked at the question paper with one eye opened .. and I was chanting Thank you with most of the questions I attempted in the paper. God bless them with straight A's and peri peri chicken :D _/\_
So, how I cleared my exam was nothing less than a miracle. It was enjoyable. It was team effort. 
This was the nicest thing done to me in months.
Sadly, I'll miss being taken care of, like family after Dobby, Gobby, Bobby, Robby and Tobby go away :(

Blah blah blah... Other than this, my past week has been very normal other than the fact that:
  • I had cooked spicy paneer
  • I had the BEST authentic Bihari chicken cooked by my friends, Bobby Sir and Dobby sir.
  • Torn my phone cover into pieces (after which my phone looks miserably naked and laachaar),
  • I have had a minor heartbreak
  • Finally shared my prized collection of Puraane  Taraane. (because sharing is caring :P)
  • Made world record for consuming the largest quantity of Glucon-D in 10 days
  • And evaporated slowly to the cruel Delhi Summer.
 Will come back with more blabber after exams. I plan to do A LOTTTTT till June 15 :D Tada!

PS:  Dear FBM 321,
Nahi, hum mein koi anban nahi hai
Lekin ab vo mann nahi hai
Main khud ko suljha rahi hun
Tumhe le kar koi uljhan nahi hai :P
You are not too bad, but seriously not my type :O

Pluviophiles

"A massive dust storm hit the Delhi NCR region around 5 pm. The dust storm accompanied by dark clouds was so severe that it blocked out the sun almost completely and brought visibility down to zero, and brought with it much needed rainfall to the region which had been sweltering under the oppressive heat for the last five days"

Shattered glass.
Wet people.
Crazy wind.
Sliding over the water.
Shivering in the end of May!
Well, since my first year at college has been so adventurous and unordinary, there was no question of it ending in an ordinary way.
I am talking about this day, which is 2 days before my end semester exam! (Actually 3 for me) when we were all, peacefully trying to study in the library.
Note again- ‘trying’ to. :P

The fun started at 4:45 when it got stormy, and dark like night. We went out, just because.  Actually we were curious.  It had been a  sunny, hot, terrible day by the way!
In a jiffy, my friend pulled me in the rain, and I wondered how amazing it is that I had my slippery slippers today. I was slipping after each step. It was all dark. Nothing to be seen clearly, and had I slipped there, I would have stopped only near the administrative block. Also I realized that we had somewhere lost Joshi in the storm. :O
So, we happy pluviophiles, hand in hand marched bravely ahead, reveling in every raindrop.
I can see the look on your face Sinha, “People get wet in the rain. So? What’s so great about that?” But you should have been there. Water pouring, hail, thundering, lightening, wind blowing at 60,000 miles/hour (You can remove few zeros if you feel like it!) And we were shivering when, few hours earlier we were dying in the heat. How amazing it felt in all. It was beautiful! The best part was that, for a few minutes, we had forgotten all our worries.
During such a dangerous end of the semester time, it felt so good to see happy faces again. (Actually it was dark, but I have proof the faces were happy) :P

The only person unhappy was a guy from my class, who doesn’t like it when it rains.

We came back, dripping from head to toe, slipping at each step, people smirking, staring at us. 
And we found Joshi again. Yayy. She told me stories about the time when she went to Shillong. That’s when she said something very beautiful about beautiful moments. It’s moments like these, when we are truly happy from inside, when we don’t care to bother for a moment, which we cherish the most in life. She wanted to rewind these few moments again. So did I. So did everyone else, except that guy, of course, who was still standing far away, watching us, and looking disgusted!
And slowly as the rain ceased, it started getting brighter. And NIFTEM never looked more beautiful! :')
Except the tabaahi part, of course, which we saw once we came back to the hostel.

The only bad thing that happened was all Adhithiyan’s fault, because his cellphone doesn't have camera.
You’re going to get punished for this soon, Aadi! Pretty soon :D
So, what was your happy, all of a sudden event, which made you forget your troubles for some time?

Speeding in the Winter Rain!

So the day was ... fun! (glad to hear myself  say this after a long long time!)
Today, I was woken up by my sweetest way. That just gave me all I needed. 
 Yeah I had my Physics exam today, and it DID go well! (for the first time that!)
But why I will remember today forever was because of what happened on my way back home.
As soon as I met Shruti, I looked up, worrying that it might rain any minute. So, to reach home in a hurry,  she started her scooty in a jiffy and I quickly climbed behind her .. and off we went. 
100 miles an hour?
 I don't know. But however fast that was, it was enough to make me believe, for just one second that I was time travelling (yes, have your laugh)
In 21 seconds, 
IT STARTED RAINING...
Heavy downpour!
She sped her Dhanno even faster, and I couldn't see anything (I wonder how did she, either!)
I kept telling her "Please slow down, I wanna get home ALIVE", but then, when the intensity of the rain increased God knows how many times, I forgot everything else, and just started to enjoy the ice-cold water pouring over us! That 20 minute ride back home just made my day!
When I reached home and got off... I saw myself in her rear-view. WOW ! then I realized I was dripping from head to toe. It felt like even my blood had frozen Arrrr!!!
And now as I'm done drying my hair, I think .... such days come rarely in my life.
Okay, it was chilly, along with the "Shruti-Effect" ... abusing everyone who came in our way.  But nevertheless, that was something I can never forget.
It was probably the first time that I had enjoyed winter rain this much !
*Disfrutar de la vida* (:
