Lko times...contd...contd

We had a big lawn in our house in Lko (or so it seemed when we were that small!). Me and my brother used to play cricket everyday there. And our biggest challenge everyday used to be to make the stumps stand erect! Ground was hard and we were small boys then, so it used to be big struggle all the time. So one fine day, we both got an ingenious idea that we should dig the ground real deep and pour water in the hole and cover it up - that way the upper layer of mud would become soft forever! So we started digging - used the sharp end of the stumps itself to dig. We dug and dug and then dug more and then poured water. And then dug more and more. After a while we realized the water was not seeping through the ground and was staying in the hole. Now even though we were small, we knew this was not normal behavior! Water should seep into the mud and make it soft, right! 1st thought that crossed my mind was - "Oh shit, I did something wrong, Mum is gonna give us a thrashing tonight! How to cover this mess up now!!" Anyway, after much discussion, we came to the conclusion that the reason water is not going away is coz we have dug so deep that we have reached water levels under the ground and the water is now leaking up into our lawn :D:D:D. So we quickly covered the hole again with all the mud and stomped on top of it, to make sure water doesnt actually fountain out of the hole! We didn't play cricket for next couple of days just to give the gound time to get back to normal state and even after that, we changed the side where we would bat from - no more digged at that end! :))
Oh, btw, did I mention, the 'big-hole' was less than 10 inches deep :D.

Lko times...contd

There was this one time in City Montessari School - Std 2 our english teacher was having a question/answer session after a lesson. So the lesson had something about 2 boys - one of them knew how to read and the other didnt. The unpadh boy got a letter in the mail, but wasnt sure if he could share the content with someone else. So he asked the educated boy as to what should be done. The educated one said that he would close his ears and read the letter to the unpadh boy, so that way he (educated boy) wouldn't know what the content of the letter were, since he didn't hear it!
Now, the teacher asked us all if the educated boy would really not know what he read if he had his ears closed?? Well, there were 3 ppl in the class who said that he wouldn't! Your's truly was one of them :))) Yaa, well the dumb trait has been there since from quite an early age ! ;)

Lko times!

Ok, me is going to jot down anything and everything I can remember about my life there... :). This will be fun!

1. I used to have a cycle - a red one, dont rem which model...
2. My frnds in school (Seventh Day Adventist High School, Indira Nagar, Lko) - Rupak Kumar Roy (bugger was my best frnd there), Anurag Singh Rawat (best kho-kho player!)...Vijay and his twin brother - cant rem other fellow's name...Vidisha (my Raakhi sister), Sangeeta (the tall one), Shweta (I rem there were 4 of them in my class!)...but I know which one I remember most - the one with light brown eyes... :), there was another fat fellow who used to hang out with me and Rupak - cant get his name or face now...
3. I had once gone to Rupak's house and we all had played cricket in his lawn. Then Papa had come and picked us up...
4. Shweta had once come to my house to return my notebook. I remember this coz she had actually bound my torn notebook when she retuned it!!
5. A gali ka kutta had once started chasing me when I was learning to ride cycle and though it was a very small dog, I was shit scared and praying tht I shouldn't fall off the cycle and be eaten by the beast lol !

More later...

When You Love Someone

When you love someone - youll do anything
Youll do all the crazy things that you cant explain
Youll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone

Youll deny the truth - believe a lie
Therell be times that youll believe you can really fly
But your lonely nights - have just begun
When you love someone

When you love someone - youll feel it deep inside
And nothin else can ever change your mind
When you want someone - when you need someone
When you love someone...

When you love someone - youll sacrifice
Youd give it everything you got and you wont think twice
Youd risk it all - no matter what may come
When you love someone
Youll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone

- Bryan Adams.

I was engrossed in some boring article I was reading online on the plight of Indian cricket, with my ITunes running in the background as usual in shuffle mode. And then this song started with the flute or some similar instrument and in less than 5 seconds took me out of this hot room to a beautiful valley with spring colors all around and plush green grass and butterflies...but all too soon I realised I was alone there...

When you love someone... the last time it happened, it was so soo long ago that now all I have is vague memories :)
You'll do all the crazy things that you cant explain - and think about later and laugh it out... :)

You'll deny the truth - belive a lie ... u bet...

But your lonely nights - have just begun ... how I long for them again...

When you love someone - you'll feel it deep inside . .. very deep inside...

And nothing else can ever change your mind
When you want someone - when you need someone
When you love someone.... I know... :)

When you love someone - you'll sacrifice ... isn't this wait a sacrifice itself...


I have been listening to this song on repeat for the last 20 min now :) Ahh...why did it have to play in the 1st place itself - unnecessary torture...but then again...I think it was pleasant.
