A day in my life

"Oh Alura,I always knew it.Somewhere out there,behind the scenes,a person like you just had to exist.Please go out with me!" Jared Padalecki  is on his knee before me,pleading. "I appreciate you so much more! Choose me instead!" begs Misha Collins,clearly enamored."Are you really going to let these idiots brainwash you,Alura? Come on,you know better than that."Jensen Ackles gazes at me with those smoldering eyes."Just who are you calling idiots,you freak?" demands Misha ,his blue eyes flaming."I think"Jared protests angrily-"Alura should-" BRRRRRINNGGGG!!


I force my eyes open and blink blearily at the alarm clock.Drat! 5 minutes more,is that too much to ask for? "Ok"I sigh and drag myself out of bed,accepting the fact that morning,though a regrettable part of the day,is still a part of life.Maybe someday,in some world,waking up in the morning will be forbidden.Hey,a girl can dream!


I stagger into school in a zombie like haze a few hours later.12th is hell.Earlier it used to be get up,get ready,go to school.Now it's like get up,study for two hours,then get ready and go.Even before I enter the building,the first thing I see:bf and gf.As usual,coochie cooing and cuddling up."Oh stop it,you!" snickers gf and smacks bf,who stares at her dreamily.God,give me a washbasin,I need to puke.Then as I walk into the classroom,another beautiful sight for sore eyes.(NOT)- that's Bert and Ernie,going through their daily ritual of ignoramus and minutes later,"boohoo come into my arms!" No,don't get me wrong.They're not gay.In fact,Bert is still tolerable,despite being a world class geek and I know best attitude,but Ernie......Ernie's insufferable.He has to be the biggest male chauvinist pig you've ever met,going around with his nose in air ,declaring the superiority of men over women( who,according to him are fit only for house chores like cooking and cleaning,and YES,in the 21st century). Never mind that he's got these deep, bottomless eyes I happen to lose myself in every time I look into them.


I try my best to ignore them."Hi,Alura!" my best friend in class,Dean,greets me."Hey" I smile back.Dean's the only one who keeps me going in this purgatory slash torture chamber of a school.Adam is not far behind."How was the weekend?" "Same old"I shrug."Studies and more-" "Oh Alura,HI!" Lillith's piercing shriek makes me jump a mile."uh...hi" I smile queasily,wishing she'd go back into the pit she came out of.Just then,the pealing of the bell tells us class is gonna begin soon,so Prefects,shoo the chickens back into the coop,or the fox will screw them all.Thank God,I think.I'm spared.As we wait for prayer to start,I look around.The usual activities going on.Lucifer is working most diligently on a complex math problem,hoping to impress Alastair some day.After all Lucifer's in love with him.Speaking of which,what's the first period? Oh FRICK!Crowley!! And I didn't even do his homework.Craptastic.Now he's going to torture me,nice and slow.


But Thank Cass, the homework is not asked for. Stupid crossroads demon must've forgotten. Oh well, good for me. Next we have Famine's class. As usual, as soon as she enters, everyone starts craving something- which in this case is mostly sleep. So one more class flies by, in series of waking dreams, slipping in and out of a drunken stupor. What next? Oh NO. it's.....it's.... GORDON!!!!!!!!!!!! help!! She's in a frightful mood today. "You children don't know the value of education these days" are her first words to us as she squeezes her generous bottom into the chair, which groans understandably from its burden. "Please, may we have a free period? It's too hot! Please!" begs Dick, and the other Leviathans take up the request too. "Absolutely not!" Gordon purses her rubbery lips and then proceeds to lecture us on the great importance of shedding buckets and buckets of sweat, because only then will a student understand the worth of good education, blah-blah-blah........ I rub my temples and mentally curse the Leviathans. They knew she was in a bad mood. Why did they have to go and bargain for the free period? God. The period goes by with Gordon going on and on with her preaching. When the bell goes, "You children never let me teach" is her complaint. Bah!

When we have Alastair's Math period later, no one's in the mood to study. Well, that isn't exactly new, and Alastair is not surprised. He's relentless, a slave-driver. Sadistic man. He begins writing sums on the board with a flourish of chalk. I'm busy writing, when a series of grunts and chuckles grabs my attention. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Cupid nudging Meg, so hard I'm amazed poor Meg doesn't fall off his seat. But Meg doesn't  seem so "poor" anymore when he seizes his tie and stuffs the end of it into his mouth. Disgusting boy! Dean giggles when I tell him about it. Cupid and Co look our way and Meg lets his tie fall out of his open mouth. Allegedly, he's in love with me. <Sigh> Why me, I wonder?

I leave for home finally at half past four in a ponderous mood. I wonder why it's Meg, and not Bobby. Or even Ernie and his bottomless eyes. Ugh, no, not him. I would hate to have a boyfriend who doesn't respect me, even if his eyes are dark and mysterious. Bobby would be fine. More than fine, actually.
I wonder why I'm not adept at Maths, and wish I had my father's brains until I remember that I wouldn't be able to write poetry and other such stuff if I did have them, and then I'm thankful.
I also wonder why chocolate cake is sinful, and smelly fish are worshiped in Bengal.


Above all, I wonder.............. Why is Jensen Ackles so hot?

And there, you have a glimpse, just a sneak peek of a day in my life. <Believe me, you wouldn't want to see any more>

Happy birthday, Bugzy :P



AMAZING


I never thought
I'd be lucky enough
To meet someone like you
Someone so crazy
someone so cool
Someone so extraordinarily real
Sympathetic when I 
Poured my heart out
You listened
And made me laugh when I cried
You taught me to face my fears
And never give up on myself
Because I'm me and I'm beautiful
And for all you did
I want to thank you
I want to tell you how I see you
You're perfect in your flaws
You're kind in your firmness
Funny when you don't mean to
And serious when you have to
You're amazing.






Bugzy........ well,what can I say about him?
He's just one of those guys who's irreplaceable- one in a zillion, no, one in a Kalmadi if you get my meaning :p


Now let's go back in time. When did I first meet Bugzy? And how? Ah,destiny,I could say, and very grand it would sound. Well, yes, a little, but the real deal was hardly as excitable. Then what was it, you ask? It was.... ho-hum, the more mundane concept of  uggh,school.


It was towards the end of 8th grade, when I was hanging out with my newly acquired friend P, that I first laid eyes on Bugzy. And the moment was...... no, I wasn't about to say magic. :O ( did you honestly expect me to say that?!!) It was hilarious, actually. Now, Bugzy dear, I'm not trying to embarrass you or anything, but seriously, those guys were at your throat like Hell hounds, ribbing you about a non existent affair( I won't mention with who, Bugzy knows very well :p), and watching you try to fend them off- a sight worth a million dollars, it was. "Shut up!" you swatted one of the merciless hounds, and he snickered. Huh, I smirked to myself from my corner. Interesting.


And then I made the epic mistake of asking P what the surrounded guy's name was (P, I'm sorry, I still love you, but you WERE being unreasonable). Annnnd P took it upon herself to drag me over and try to introduce me to Bugzy. It took a better part of my dignity,some amount of blackmailing and all of my entrepreneurial skills to escape from her clutches. Thank God I did, or my next Facebook status would have gone like "The awkward moment when....."


I saw Bugzy around everyday after that, in the corridors, in the lab,wherever, but never really had the guts to talk to him. I mean, you can't just march up to a total stranger and be all "Hey, can we be friends?" with a huge, almost demented sunshiney smile.So days passed. The ooh so scary Board exams came and breezed by in a flurry, and then suddenly one fine April evening, I receive a message- from, guess who? Yeah, Bugzy. It seemed that he wanted to be friends. Being a staunch believer in "boys are liars,jerks etc etc" i threatened to kick him in the solar plexus if all this happened to be a sick joke.


I know better now though. He's the kind of guy who'll ever think of playing anyone, not the kind who'll play jokes on people if he knows it's cruel to do so.


Bugzy....... he's an amazing friend to have. He's wacky, he's sweet, he's crazy, he's fun, and I'm damn lucky he's part of my life. Bugzy's just the kind of friend you'd sacrifice anything to have, because he's that awesome. He's the kind who'll do anything for you once he's promised his loyalty. He'll turn the world upside down to find your smile when it goes missing. He'll crack dumb jokes when you're sad, and if he can't take away your pain, he'll just make sure you're not alone. And he';; always be your friend. Cause he's Bugzy, and once more, he's awesome. And I adore him,. Do I love him? Maybe,perhaps a very teeny little bit so... Okay,kidding, I do. :D




Have an awesome birthday, and many more still, Bugzy. You deserve all the happiness in the world.

Just JACOB :D

All right,people,I know I've already written one on Twilight but trust me,this one is PURELY Jacob,whom I unfortunately neglected in the twilight post.Now tell me,if I did that again,would Jakey ever forgive me? :-D So,Jacob Black,don't be angry please? This one is for you.


Lets start with: Who exactly is Jacob? No,I'm not referring to his role in Twilight.I'm not referring to Bella's best friend or Edward's nemesis,nor as Renesmee's soulmate.Jacob is just Jacob.Put more eloquently,in a well said statement:"Jacob is amazing.He's got this dashing,winsome personality,combined with a really good body and a drop dead gorgeous smile.He is someone who cares more for others than himself."






Isn't he awesome? Yep,surely.The character of Jacob Black is loved worldwide,especially  in the novel and movie of New Moon where he helps Bella get over Edward.He turns into her personal sun,and does all he can just to see her smile.(Not that the stupid witch cares.Once she realizes he loves her,she just goes on hurting him.) I think every teenage girl who saw New Moon or read it,felt a surge of sympathy towards the poor guy when Edward came back and he realized Bella had made her choice.


Bella might've  considered herself the epitome of self sacrifice but that was always Jacob.It was Jacob whose heart Bella broke.It was Jacob who accepted that she could never be his.It was Jacob who gave up the company of his pack in Breaking Dawn,just so that he could protect Bella.So,in that case,isn't it Jacob who gave up everything,just for the sake of that one person he loved?I think we were all glad he found Renesmee.She seems to be much less of a hassle than her irritating mom.


However I also realize that most Jacob lovers,those of the female variety,would have been bugged at this new arrival,cause it beats their chance,doesn't it? :-D But hey,anything better than to see him sad,right? Yes,that's what I thought.Jakey deserves nothing bt the best,wouldn't you agree,girls?


And of course,Taylor Lautner,who plays the character of Jacob Black,has turned out exactly as we girls imagined our Jacob would be.Washboard abs,killer tan,breathtaking smile,what else could anyone want?
I felt this song is quite suitable for him:
You got spark,you got spunk
You got something all the girls want <3

Friends forever

Hey there,folks!!!! It's been such a long time,I apologize for the delay,but well,I'm here now.So yeah,today I just would like to share my feelings about friendship and talk about a certain person who made my life rock.


I think life's incomplete without friends.Everyone needs someone to talk to,someone they can be free with,someone they can vent to.Some people have dozens of friends,a huge friend circle constantly texting and hanging out 24/7.While that's really nice and proves that they're socialites,or very popular,it doesn't actually give guarantee that any of those friends are going to stick around when needed.True friendship is indeed hard to come by.In today's cut throat competitive world,the rat race is always on and people will go to any extent to come first.If they have to reach the heights of success,they will step on others.I've known people I called my friends,who were totally sweet on the face and were superb telltales behind my back.I've seen people approach when they need something,and when their job is done,they're like,"I'm sorry,who the hell are you?" There are people who are with you  when the going is good,but the moment it gets dark,they leave without looking back once.In such hard times,I'm glad I have a certain person I can count upon truly,and I'm proud to call him my friend.


This guy,let's call him D here,okay? So,D and I are really close friends and I call him my brother even though we aren't really related.But that does not matter.I remember the first time we spoke.This mutual friend of ours,N, had posted a photo on Facebook and I ribbed her about her favorite cricketer not being able to score.D commented that he thoroughly agreed with me,and we had a good laugh.Initially we were a bit awkward because he was shy and didn't know if he was saying the right stuff.I found him weird.But as time passed,we bonded.He and I aren't similar at all,him being so tech savvy,science loving and me-a complete neanderthal having interest only in writing and poetry.But despite all that,he's an awesome friend.You don't always have to find things in common to be close.Sometimes you just feel connected to someone.That's how I feel about D.


I'm not praising D so much because he's my friend.He's really a great person.He's helped me through tough times,supported me throughout everything,with unending patience and loved me more than I deserved.I remember making a terrible mistake,doing something he'd warned me against."Sis,"he'd said,his voice pleading,"Don't do this.It's gonna hurt you." I paid no attention.I told him he was mean and selfish,Turns out I was wrong.And he was right.About everything.For that,I apologize to him once more,though he's already forgiven me,being the kind soul he is.D is one of the most caring,respectful and understanding guys I've ever met.I'm yet to see a person so compassionate that instead of tuning out a friend's pain,he would choose to suffer alongside them instead.


I don't know what I did to be granted the honour of his friendship,but I sure am thankful he considers me a friend.D,I can never,and will never forget everything you've done for me.When you came along,I'd never thought you'd be such an important part of my life.So,this,my brother,my friend,my guide.....this is for you.




When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end.........................

Totally Twilight

5 October 2005: That's when Stephanie Meyer rocked the world with the amazing Twilight series.It did a great job at selling,and was,rather is,extremely popular among teenagers,especially girls,all over the world.While it projected the novel idea of "vegetarian"vampires who sparkle in the sunlight instead of bursting into flame,there were a few basic drawbacks,which ended up slightly marring the otherwise smooth,beautifully written saga.


Well,to begin with the most basic one,the one I'm sure 99.9% of us heartily agree on,is the character of Bella Swan.The rest 0.1% who don't think so,I don't know what's wrong with you :-|
The good thing is that two completely different people,one a 110 year old vampire Edward,flawlessly handsome,strong and immortal and Bella,a 17 year old human,clumsy,awkward and weak,write a supposedly impossible romance.But the bad thing? Yeah,Bella is irritating and a little more than psychotic.All right,its not really expected that she remain calm and sensible throughout everything,but did it actually help when she ran off to Phoenix,nearly getting killed,all the while consistently whining and hyperventilating?Gosh,sometimes,when I think of it,I thoroughly wish James had killed Bella,and Stephanie could create a new heroine,pretty,sensible and a little self sacrifice would be fine actually.Just not a whiny do nothing like Bella .
But I guess we have to accept her as a part of the Cullen family package deal :-D



The other thing I wasn't exactly pleased about was an important detail of the vampires: they SPARKLE. I mean,after I read that,I couldn't exactly blame anyone for calling Edward Cullen a "sparkling fairy". I mean,okay,their skin could look really nice or smooth,but SPARKLE?? I found that a bit ridiculous.Super speed,intelligence,superior looks,power and immortality are pretty much sufficient to make a perfect vampire.We could all do without the extra "glitter glam",thank you very much.The above image is a great example of what kind of jokes are being made about Edward because he,oh,sparkles.


But hey, everything's not bad.There are so many great descriptions,like the part in the meadow,where Edward reveals his true self to Bella.(even though she's too stupid to react properly).Then the great chase in Volterra,what with Alice stealing the Porsche and Bella fighting time and tide in order to save Edward from the Volturi,who have been described very realistically.We can't forget Edward and Seth killing Victoria on the cliff(Again with Bella almost spoiling the fun by hoping to play the sacrificing third wife). And I found myself transported all the way to the sandy shores and swirling waters of the picturesque Isle Esme, it was so magical(or maybe I'm just a huge Twilight fan ;-)) 
But whatever be the flaws or fine points,I can't really understand people who call the series "gay".I mean,WHAT is perverted in a 110 year old vampire falling in love with a 17 year old girl? The fact that such people thought f it age wise,or whatever,just shows that they have a cheap mentality.It  certainly doesn't do any damage to Edward Cullen,whose character remains loved far and wide.Please tell me of any girl who hasn't fallen for the handsome,strong and fiercely loving Edward Cullen! :-)  
Let's face it, no one or nothing is perfect.Its no different with the Twilight saga.But you've got to give it to Stephanie Meyer for giving the world such a legend,for weaving such a lovely tale with the perfect amount of romance,a shot of speed and adrenaline.amazing characters and Edward  Cullen.Thanks,Stephanie,and we hope you come up with more awe inspiring novels.

Studies...the biggest woe of teenage

"Study,or else you won't pass the final exam"....."Study or you won't get the scholarship"..."Study or you won't be able to have a successful life"...Its all the same.Everything starts with "study".That is the life of teenagers.
Our grandparents say "Why,when we were your age,we used to run around and play all day long..that's why we were so fit...and look at you all!"That's when you feel like screaming out at the top of your lungs"How the hell are we supposed to play when all day long we're busy with our schoolwork?" And even if we do say that,our parents and teachers have a reply waiting"Where there's a will,there's a way.If you really want to do something,you'll find ways and means of doing it." blah blah blah. See?No one understands.Only we teens can somehow empathize with each other.It's that pathetic
.And why,oh why are marks given so much importance?I mean,yeah it's important to have knowledge and to be able to earn your own living.But 15 years down the road, who,I ask you,who is going to ask how much we scored in class 10 finals?Hardly anyone.So,isn't it silly to be so hell bent and obsessed about marks and report cards? All right,they would say,that's why the CCE system has been introduced.Now are you satisfied?No.We're not
.The CCE system had some guidelines to reduce pressure on kids....but are they being followed?When the choice of exam is between oral,project,unit test and classwork,why are all of them being dumped onto the students? Are we donkeys?I swear,one wishes something could be done to release us from this prison which is called school and its labours which are studies..Meanwhile: Dear God,it is my sincere request to you-may all the evil forces acting against us students rot in hell forever.May maggots feast on their brains.Amen.

Today's educational system is stomping out the creativity,imagination and most importantly,murdering our happiness.God knows that the future generation is in acute danger concerning their education.

First love....

Hi y'all! I think all of us teens have had the fulfilling experience of first love.Whether the end has been bitter or surprisingly happy,I can't say but this I know for sure: first love is unforgettable.After all,it's the first time we understand exactly why we blush when that someone is around,or when we start associating all the senti love songs with that person.And why the hell are we so confident around our friends,but become an absolute klutz when they're around? Well,then we all know. :-) And that's the phase of life when you're flying,elated in seventh heaven and you feel nothing can go wrong.Ever.You trust that the person you feel so strongly for,the person your heart beats so frantically for,will never let you down.Oh,but don't they? Sure,they do.But you just try to convince yourself"Nah,he can't look away from me" "No way she won't accept me". Then the final put down.You pour your soul out to them,and what do they do?Lets just be friends?No,that's too decent.Now its"huh? you and me?have u seen yourself in the mirror?" It's that sad.There are tears,tears and more self pity.Then comes the rage.I myself look back and remember wishing that I could stab my first love with a 6 inch butcher knife :-D
But still,you'll find a small smile on your face whenever you think of that person....the first love of your teen life.
