Day Five and Six: Of War, 2 States and Love Chits.

Been very busy lately and sleepy too. That is why I am finding it extremely difficult to write day in day out. Therefore, today’s post will summarize today and yesterday both in a single post.

Yesterday: Went to School in the morning. Had a pretty good day at School. The thing is whenever I got to School; I make the most of it. When I got to School i.e. Its so damn hard to write about what I did yesterday man. I don’t remember most of what I did today itself, so yesterday is too far-fetched for me. But I have to try. The classes at School were pretty normal, nothing mentionable. The Best part of School yesterday was the Chalk-Fight that we had during the Lunch Break. Everyone, rather than having their food, was involved in the War. Yes, practically a war. And there were no Teams or allegiance. Everyone was hitting everyone. If they got a chalk from somewhere, they would hit you. Now, I think this is a good thing. Because we all bring out our Violent Streaks through this. I loved to do it personally. Was great great Fun. And also I haven’t submitted my Bengali Copy for like more than two weeks after she asked me to do. The teacher instructed me to submit it tomorrow, i.e. today. I did not do it, eventually.

After coming back to home I took my Maa to the Best shopping Streets in town. I promised her that we will go. And 28^th October, 2009 was the day. The first thing I bought for myself was the Book, ‘2 States: the Story of my Marriage,’ by the Most loved Indian Author, Chetan Bhagat. I completed 34 pages of it while my Maa was busy shopping and I was walking behind her. There I was with a Book in my hand, everybody looking at me thinking of me as a Nerd, and talking about it with their friends, felt nice but weird for me. I don’t know why people call me a Nerd. Yes, I maybe smart and may be getting good Marks and Grades at School, but that in no way whatsoever means that I am a bookworm. Anyways, I will write the review of the Book soon. My Maa has a fetish for Bags and Shoes. She has truckloads of them at our Home. I sometimes tell her to start a Boutique of these things basically because she has not used so many of the things she has bought over the years. She also got me a Nice Jute Bag for going to the tuitions. It was already late, maybe 9, when she finally decided to stop. I was fucking hungry at that moment. The combination of words is to be ignored. We ate at KFC. I am not a Great fan of their brand of chicken but I had to go since Maa insisted. I prefer McDonalds to KFC. Then we returned home, and I started reading 2 States again. It’s kind of engrossing and hilarious at patches. I will discuss about  it sometime later at another post.

The Day ended and I slept at 4 AM, because ‘the Killers’ were not letting me sleep. I also heard a few Old Hindi Songs, and talked to Iohannes and Gunita when I was online for some time at about 11 PM. Was a pretty joyous day and I hoped that 29^th will be good too. I hoped.

Today: I told Dad that I won’t go to School today beforehand at night. I did not go to School, and woke up at.. Hold your Breath….. 3 PM. It was like got all of my sleep, at a single nap. My Sleep was stored up, so I needed to do it anyhow. Woke up and Breakfast time was well well past. Lunch time also had passed away for some people. I had my lunch. Maa fed me, as she normally does. I like it when she feeds me. Makes me feel like a Kid all over again. Went to attend the Aakash [with two 'A's] Institution Classes. I have those classes on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. They are a struggle to attend. I mean to sit for so long. 4 and a half hours to be precise. Had fun there too. Played a prank on one of my friends. In a small chit I wrote, ‘You are looking good today,’ and threw that to Ritesh. He thought a girl had sent him this, and due to this excitement he could not concentrate the whole time. When after the class, I told him that the chit was thrown by me, he was livid. But, I was laughing and after some moments of jovial silence he laughed too. I am not talking with many people there at Akash these days because they are too strange for my taste. He girls are too conservative. Most of them except for one. And she also has to control herself, being one of them. Then came back home at 9 PM, had some wafers and Coffee. Saw bits of Bigg Boss, and now am writing this. Will ask Maa for the modem in some time, and then hopefully publish this. Ciao.

Love,

Dipanjan

Day Three: Of School Sleep and the Lack of it

Time: 1:46 AM. Feeling really very sleepy at this moment. Haven’t had a nice nap for ages now. Will get it again only on Wednesday Evening as there is not tuition that day. Waiting for Wednesday Evening. Anyways, I woke up at 7 AM today, because I had school today. Yes, I went to school today. Trying to be regular, you see. I was rumoured to wake up at 7, but actually woke up only at 7:30. When I got out of bed, I put some books into the bag, wore my School uniform, and had the Bournvita which was made by Maa. When I reached School ten minutes late, thankfully our teacher still hadn’t arrived. I thought that first period would be English I, but got to know that there would be Physics. We have three Teachers who teach Physics, because the teacher who was teaching us originally could not cope up nicely and she was unable to finish the Syllabus for the first time. A complaint was made by the students, and the Headmistress decided to put two other teachers in charge. So nowadays, we are in Physics over-drive at School. Nothing much mentionable happened after that in any of the period, except for the Fact that there was a Surprise test for Chemistry. I cannot reveal how I did it, but I will get pretty good marks out of the Full quota of 10 Marks. And also in the Bengali period, I did not submit my copy on Friday. Friday was the last date, but I hardly ever make the deadlines. So, the teacher especially for me, extended the deadline till Friday this week. Only for me. That’s partly due to the excuses I keep conjuring up. I am a Master at making excuses. All this while, I was also thinking about a person whom I seem to have really deep feelings for. I was also singing songs for myself. The last period was the Library period, and I wanted to issue a Book, ‘AIIMS Explorer’, but my friend Govind forgot to bring his ID Card, and asked me if I could issue a Book for him. So I selflessly agreed. I think it’s my duty to help my friends, in whatever capacity I can afford till.

Returned home at 3 PM after buying the School’s P.T T-shirt and Pants. I did not buy them until now, and I was evading the teacher all this while. But Dad gave me the money today to buy the T-Shirt. So I had to, as an ever-obeying son. Returned home still feeling sleepy because I had very little sleep at night. Started listening to some new Bangla songs. And ironically, the singer was Jeet Ganguly, whom I had seen perform only a few days prior. These days he is the No. 1 Music Composer of Tollywood. I hate the present crops of commercial films made by the Bengali Film Industry. I will reserve that talk for some other time. Had my lunch at 4 PM. Was very hungry because didn’t eat anything at all in School. Just didn’t feel like. Was feeling very low, but never let it show on my face. I always have a grin on my face. This grin is synonymous with the name Dipanjan in recent times. Also saw Katrina on a Bengali News Channel for the first time. She is in Kolkata at this moment and I really wanted to see her somehow but I guess it’s not practical enough. Then, SMS chatted for sometime with a friend, and went to get my much needed slumber at 5:30 PM.

Woke up at 8 PM, had a shower, and got the ‘Biology Today’ magazine to read. Started reading it. Did not understand most of the parts because it had matter not-pertaining to what I have studied until now. But still went through it till 9:30 PM. I then realized that I had to complete my Bengali Work, and therefore, started looking for my Bengali Copy. But, it seems to have been lost. Gosh, I will have to start all over again. I asked Maa permission to be Online, but she seemed reluctant. She agreed later though. Went online at about 10:30 PM and changed my user Settings at lastfm.com a bit. I had decided to login at my Orkut A/C today and delete it. But before that went online at Yahoo, and saw Tanmay online. I was very eager to know about the state of his Mom. So I couldn’t stop myself from messaging him. I thought I’d make it short but whenever we start talking, it’s never short. So it went on till 11:45 PM. Side-by-side I was also talking with Azan. Gave him my number. He is a nice guy. I like him. Then, opened my Orkut A/C to see what was going on. But by then Tanmay had changed my mind. I decided not to delete my A/C now. Not soon too. I am going to keep it. Replied to Gina’s scrap. I wanted to talk with her. Had something private and important to say to her. But I will say it later. Also, Tanmay asked me to take up Yoga, as that will help me to increase my Concentration Power. I will try it out. Then, at about 12:15 AM surrendered my modem to my Maa. I am missing talking with Muskan. I hope she is fine and at her healthy best. Saw bits of ‘’All the Best’’, which I downloaded three-four days ago. Saw only the portions I love. It’s a hilarious film.

Got Sona’s missed call at 1:30 AM and replied to her soon enough. After that, Dad took away my Sim Card, because am not allowed to keep it at night. They think I would call someone up, and start talking and eventually end up wasting my sleep. They are right. This is what is I normally do. Have got a busy day tomorrow. School and then Akash Institution Classes. I have to attend both School and Akash at any cost. I just cannot afford losing any more time. I will almost fall down now. Am so sleepy at this moment. Ciao.

With love,

Dipanjan
