College Castes!

College!This word brings a smile to a lot of adult faces.Many of us at first had surely expected college to be a place to have fun and study at times(well ok i admit i had 2 years back:) Then came sound advice from a lecturer in junior college, she had said:Students many of you probably are expecting college to be a place to enjoy and have a crazy time but trust me this is not a karan johar movie and it does not happen that way.I have two words for that advice SO TRUE.Well junior coll was sort of an extension of school but now i have entered 'actual' college.Din't have any hopes of college to a party place this time thankfully a month has passed and things have become routine.But I observed one thing over the past month colleges are divided into castes!I thought the stuff shown in chick flicks like mean girls etc was fictional,i know naive me.Lets have a laugh now while I take you through the groups.

1. The Nerds: The people who follow every sentence the teacher says,write it down dilligently,nod their heads(remember noddy the cartoon?;) to the teachers tune,oiled hair.But no one messes with these people because you mess with them and no notes for you before exams.Haha.

2.The Dumb Blondes:Designer clothes,shoes bags earrings to match(or maybe clothes to match i don't know) Nothing wrong with looking good but c'mon they can THINK before talkin sometimes right.For them life revolves around make-up,clothes and boy-toys.Consider repeating the same outfit twice in a week as suicide:D Avoid the above group like plague!

3.The Wannabe's: The people who try to imitate the above group and fail miserably don't get what admirable quality they find in the 2nd group people but they whatever it is they consider them gods and obey every command.

4.The Tom-boys: Think they are boys,act like them(all the irritating boys characteristics included.Don't mingle with the 2nd and 3rd group.

5.The Back Bencher's: Add some spice to the boring classes with their interesting and innovative ways( which vary depending on the strictness of the lecturer). Laid-back people,the ones teachers loathe(the feeling is mutual actually;) classes would be incomplete without them.

6.The All Rounders: The ones who study well without being nerdy.Who look good without being Dumb,Who are not teachers pets but not their enemies either.

7.Me: I have no idea where I figure, don't relate to any specific group.So people who share my view welcome to the club:D

lifes a SWING

CHANGE now thats something that all of us can relate to.Playing with my little kid cousin today in the garden I went to the swings first like i always did.Amidst the swinging and the kid laughing it struck me maybe this might be one of the last few times i can do this.This meaning swing in my house on the swing which has a history of its own.My cousins now all grown up and successful had played in the same 'jhula'[swing],out of the three swings only one survived the years and more importantly the weight:D Numerous birthday parties,celebrations, marriage parties had taken place in this garden.Where five year old me and my cousins ran the everyday running race(i always won just for the record;) This is where i learnt to ride the bicycle falling but learning.I live in a joint family so since i was a kid it was survival of the fittest:)Having no animal phobias(except bees god i hate them),being able to talk to the rudest of people and being comfortable with the boys(having grown up with them) is sum of the things i learnt in my wonderful house.Haha i sound like an old woman reminiscing but i am sure gonna miss my house,the people but the memories will be with me close to my heart.
